#First beat ever

It's definitely a beginner type beat, and I mean that with genuine intentions

You have not quite grasped the basics of making a song within FL with coherency. You have not quite gotten the hang of the workflow of FL in doing things. There are some things I hear which I recommend fixing

Try turning on your metronome when you're composing. It seems your elements don't really quite line up to any rhythm. You'll notice right away that your song doesn't match the rhythm of your metronome (check also, if the magnet icon is turned on in the top left corner of the piano roll and playlist and set to Line)

Your 808 sustains after another 808 plays. You can hear them bleed into each other. Make sure your enabling the volume envelope in the sampler window

There's not much to say about this. It's not a listenable song by any means, but you've managed to put together a sequence of notes and drums, which is quite the accomplishment. Congrats! Keep at it and keep learning. Work on learning the basics and workflow of FL and you'll get faster and more efficient the more you make songs

# sweet sinew If you could give me a list of like a few things to do to make this an actual go...

Well, listen to a beat you like. You'll notice probably right away that there's a consistent rhythm throughout the track, hear how the kicks and snare hits when you bob your head / tap your foot? Head how there's probably a consistent hi hat hitting?

There's way too many things to tell you how to make this listenable, that's like asking how to build a car from scratch when you don't have the tools to do so, and have never built anything in your life

There's plenty of tutorials on YouTube about learning synthesis, and music in general.

A super saw is a synth that is using a saw wave as the main oscillator, the saw wave has unison on it giving it multiple voices

An arpeggio is when you play the individual notes making up a chord sequentially, rather than at the same time

Okay I think I get it

Was that helpful? Probably not lmao. This is why me explaining things over text is not helpful

sweet sinew
#

So, you can either learn synthesizers, and how to sequence things etc, or you can search for the "perfect sample" that you're looking for

#

Which, is most likely unlikely

crisp wigeon
#

You can go on YouTube to learn the synth you want to use

#

You have almost infinite knowledge at your fingers tips guy lmao
