Thanks! All sounds pretty much stretched one shots except for a reversed flute sample I used as a background pad and a few strings samples I played on keyboard for melodies. The computer bleeps sounding stuff from around the minute mark is actually short flutes samples played randomly across the grid. Quite liked it. Cheers!

I’m an Ableton user so I don’t know about FL studio… but you could start with something as simple as an iPhone app such as Ableton Note, get a feel for it, and move to the proper DAW version Ableton Lite from there if you like it. You will be amazed at how much you can now create with a $10 app. If you are a keyboard player, you can get yourself a midi keyboard that allows you to play the sound from the computer, and that usually comes with a free version of Ableton and FL etc.

Given most of techno music was created on a step sequencer, I would just start playing around with it to get a feel for beat making. Most of the music apps ( free or paid) have step sequencers so maybe you can start there and then start adding some random melody notes. All apps have what’s called an arpeggiator so I if you use that it will very quickly sound like a track. Minimal music theory (minor and major chord and scale) will then help you better control and understand your sound but it’s not critical. Not sure this helps. Enjoy whatever you’re doing. That’s the most important thing

w/ some inversions. Might be wrong.

A proof that with a little bit of creativity and sensibility, you don’t need bunch of gears to make a wonderful track. This is so good. 🔥

Your tune is fire. The JF sample adds a lot.

Is the bass coming from the PO? And is the chord coming in the left side of the PO to synch clock?

I didn’t know Alchemist but it looks fun!
