So this is where I'll be trying new styles of song for FL studio (only beats, not songs). My first attempt is of grime music (lol, supposed to be):

It was my first attempt at using the mixer for such things as compression and reverb.

I don't like the way the melody or whatever sounds.

Other than that I thought it was ok.

This was pretty cool, the samples sound cheap, and the melo is meh. But it is your best yet.

the samples are the default that I messed with a bit. Also, how do you think I can improve my melodies? I don't do ANY music excpet drums, or know any notes/chords and how things go together well, so how can I get good at melodies?

I second exilement, either you used too much or not enough compression.

Also, that's not a beat. I can't stress the terminology enough. A beat is technically just the drums.

got a new weird beat/whatever: http://www.tindeck.com/listen/wbbc

I might make the melody louder.

Also, I tried to make it loud because I've been making them too quiet :(

Got a new song, my best so far (admittedly with help from lots of tutorials).
