Reply to Help with reaper and synth1

Can someone please help me with understanding on how to create an actual track. I have downloaded REAPER and Snyth1, and have updated my VST setting's on REAPER and have Synth1 currently open. I'm just not sure how to actually make the music happen. I'm brand new at this and have always been very interested in producing EDM and never really knew where to start, until now. I'm currently going to school for a Bachelors in computer science and would like to make music and DJ on the side for pure fun. I love music.

Here is a picture, in case I'm doing something wrong.
