all i can say is it isnt bad. technically someone will have to help you but if u smooth out them chops a lil it wouldnt be too bad at all. ive heard worse here, lol. and i see you mastered the volume thing which is progress. good to see you getting better.

Ya the volume problem was fixed after I formatted my whole computer. I don't know why it was that low. But now it's fixed.

I know I can do much better, i'm just trying to get my sounds together. Like synths and bass to connect the sounds, i can't figure out how to do that, and make my drums pop out and bang.

the sample has been stretched way too much. The bassline is basically gonna come down to EQing, levels, and compression. try to keep it between ~200-500hz range. Synths would go in the range higher than that up to like 1200hz.

One thing you gotta learn about ixing is that its like cooking. You have a set of basic rules you have to follow, but after that, you can kinda spice it up and adjust to taste. You just need to learn the basic rules first before you start experimenting too much

Can you tell me what you mean by streched too much?

the sample sounds like it was really short and you try to slow it down too much or stretch it out to fill in more space that it did original did. I'm guessing you use fruity loops bc there's something about FL's time stretching process that makes all samples that get slowed down too much sound like the sample you got in this track

yep you're exactly right.
