Default Ambient sounds - how to make?

Hi i'm new here and i want to share with you my youtube channel where i make long videos with white noise and similar sounds to sleep, relax or concentrate.
Here is some of my videos:

And i want to make actual music in future. I like those dreamy background music from RPG where you can't really tell when composition starts and when it ends. Any advice how to do it? I use Reaper but i'm not familiar with synthesizers. I play guitar i know music theory a little but i think i need go more into computers to do that. Any tutorials, inspirational videos?

There's Syntorial, an interactive program that will teach the basics of how to use a subtractive synth. It's not free but it has free demo version. Also look for videos/resources on the basics of synthesis. Learn the different types of synths, types of waveforms, what is a supersaw, what is a pluck, how to synth a bass, etc. etc.

There are also tons of tutorial videos on YouTube that teach every aspect of the basics of computer music.

SeamlessR is a really good channel mostly catering to FL Studio beginners (https://www.youtube.com/user/SeamlessR). He has a video called 'What To Do When You're A Beginner' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwxRXzaEAH0).

You also have to get really good at mixing and mastering. Beat School has a great playlist that covers all the basics of Mixing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIj5...O5FnCUtrpQDRiF). As for mastering, just search for various videos on that on YouTube.
