Hey, I didn't see your post until I had written the above. So none of it is really relevant now, but I'll leave it up, maybe someone will get something out of it.

Well, sure, there are a lot of books on orchestration and if you have some understanding of writing and theory, then you can write a few melodies and begin arranging them into more complicated songs.

Try the "Complete Idiot's" book I suggested above (I own it). It has a song that the author wrote, and you can arrange that in a lot of ways. With Logic, you can assign the parts of the song to various instruments in the EXS, and while that's gonna sound ****ing awful, you'll learn a lot from it.

Good luck!
