The first thing I ever made electronically was done on cubase about 4 or 5 years ago for Uni, and I didn't have much interest in it at all.
It was a terrible cover of 'Sympathy for the Devil' by the rolling stones, using only one plugin. Can't remember what it was called, was some old ROMpler thing.
Tune was cack, and all my early cubase Uni stuff is lost to a frazzled hard-drive. (a blessing, really.)
Then we got to do music for Media, I bought a copy of Sonar and Acid Pro, and this was my first ever serious dabble into electronica. They gave us some video clips and said, go compose!

That last one counts as my very first dance tune. I had made it in Acid Pro with CM samples in my spare time and just chucked it over the top of the video. I was running close to the deadline and spent all my time working on the 'Stalker' one. It just happenned to fit quite well!
Actually don't know why I haven't pursued the Media composition thing really. Quite enjoyed it.
