Hey everyone, my names Erik.
Though im new to electronic production, ive always had a passion for music.
This is my first try putting an actual song together.. rather than diddling around with setting to find sounds..
Im using FL Studio and ive only had the program for maybe 2 months.. So please dont be too harsh ^^
If you could please give me some helpful feedback id appreciate it. :]

EDIT: this is definitely a work in progress.. i intend to add ALOT to this piece.

bass sounds cool, could use more exciting drums tho. Good first attempt tho man

Hey man thanks alot

Yeah i didnt do much with the drums.. FL opens with a drumset ready for you to use.. so i just messed around with those. but i am definitely gonna change up the drums next time!

Thx alot.
Erik

BADASS USE OF REVERB ON THE BASS
i think its a reverb? i cant even tell but it gives a great atmosphere to it.
Nice job bro.

yeah bro i just set the reverb to a reverse preset.^^
i was thinking of making a bass with one forwards+reverb and
a backwards at the same time to give it that double warpish sound

I like the bass that goes up until 0:55, and the bass after that goes BWEEOW.

Potential

Dude, nice reverb effect on that snare, it adds a whole other percussion instrument and it's nice.

Good first attempt dude.

nice start man! nice simple melody. i'd drop the levels on the bass after it kicks in its kinda drowning out everything. also, try adding different tonal layers in your hihat work to fill in the gaps in between with a shuffling syncopation. overall your in the right direction.if you personally are having uncertainties about a part of your track or the whole thing in general, others probably will to. just work at the parts one section at a time an you'll have one layered, perfected piece. if you have questions or need some tips man, hit me up.

Jeah man! sounds great overall! And like it sayd before: I would also like a little bit more excitement on the drums.
Try to add some open hihats at the last bars/notes or how you call it... make some nice patterns with it.
But its sure a really nice first attempt!!!

I heard worse and it even wasn't their first attempt

Cheers!
