if you want some tips and pointers on making boom bap style golden era hip hop (with dope swing), club, reggae or alternative in FL, hit me up. Ive even got videos of me making beats to show as tutorials, or I could do webcam desktop to show you. I'm starting a youtube channel called fresher under pressure, in which I set a time limit (always under 10 mins) and make a beat.
Just PM me.

Keep it up man, nobody's first song is good haha. Learn how to MIX and how to EQ. Those two things are good starting points.

Did you sequence those drums yourself or just play around with a loop?

i'm not sure if i'm answering your question right, but, i made the drum pattern myself with the built-in drum kits.

i had two of the same snare and bass drum & had one of each lowered so i could make ghost-notes with 'em.

That is what I was wondering. Yea your mix sounds terrible and it is boring as shit, but your use of syncopation isn't bad. Keep up the work and add some more variation. Dephdiddy is probably a better resource than I am, but I am fairly knowledgeable about FL studio and production in general. If you have any questions on how to do or use something I'd be glad to help if I can.

fuck... i should've made the bass louder and bit more distorted... it would've sounded better imo.

that sucks you cant save projects to work on for later with the stupid demo.

i'm trying to make grimy sounding beats suitable for scratching over (turntablism)

all the clicking this and clicking that gets annoying though... i need a midi-keyboard.

You already know then. Good beat base, keep building it up and adding symmetry, melody and suspense/release.

Turntablism is fun. I'm in the same boat. Get the midi keyboard, a korg padkontrol is perfect for the pads. A regular midi keyboard who's keys work well enough for you will do.

IMHO if you cant pattern and swing hip hop drums (which you easily can if you learn) then theres no point in a midi keyboard for fl.. a drum machine sure, but snapping midi in fl still relies on system performance, even if you have a controller or mixer as far as FL it doesnt always work out the way you want... if thats the DAW you wanna work with, get used to all the features, GAT AND OFS are ones you wanna get with... as well as PORTA MONO Swing... then once you get a keyboard you can kill it...
I seen this dude DJ OOCH who had scratcher on his keyboard, where you moved your finger over a digital sensor, and it scratch the note as played.... i tripped out on that shit. we did an all organic bust one time, me on keyboard, he was playing and scratching two tables and my guy was freestyling... it felt like a digital band it was FUN!!
