I'm not sure that Traktor DJ or SoundTrack are relevant to 
composition. See below.

Since you are just starting out with composing on your computer, I 
recommend a thorough read of any information you can gather about the 
basics of digital audio. Try searching on terms such as "digital 
audio workstation" and "DAW". Magazines such as Keyboard, Future 
Music, Computer Music, Musician, and Home Recording often dedicate 
entire sections or issues or, at the very least, a column to the 
basics.

For starters, try <http://www.computermusic.co.uk/basics/basics.asp>
