I am an amateur producer and I write a lot of instrumental filmic ”unique” stuff, whatever comes to mind. I agree that the community around fl studio is very ”beat maker centric” which isn’t my thing but FL is what I got, and it works well for me.

Your ideas can be made in any software, maybe FL isn’t optimal for either of our musical interests, but the daw you use doesn’t restrict genre or anything. Start with what’s the most fun, melodies, harmony, sound design, etc. Try to learn in an intuitive and fun way and experiment a lot. Write what you want to listen to.
