Yo
I use FL studio Signature edition (paid 200€ with a student discount) + 2 plug-ins called Serum and Spire.
FL is really nice for beginners wanting to make electro music

Cool song

I like the ghostly arpeggios at the beginning and the mellow beats at :15. Really neat sound design here, although the chord progression is pretty cliche. I also think the mix could use a tad bit of cleaning up. There’s a lot of reverb in the texture, and the arpeggios get pretty drowned out once the mix gets more saturated (i.e., around :45). The section at 1:02 was catchy, although the transition at 1:35 was a little too drawn-out imo. I like the echo-y section at 1:36, which in turn flows nicely into the heavy breaks at 1:54. Harmonically, I would’ve liked to see you do a little more with the piece later on, but at the same time the lack of variety in the harmonies made the arrangement feel a little more grounded. By that I mean that there are a lot of distinct sections of the piece that never repeat in a cut-and-dry way. It’s a pretty risky approach to composition because it can easily come off as choppy and incoherent, but here it actually works pretty well. I still might’ve liked to see a more compelling conclusion than the minimal, rhythmic part from 2:40 on, and the very ending felt a bit sudden. Overall, some of the mixing details could use some tightening, but more importantly the piece is lacking in melodic content and, at times, is a bit too minimal imo. Still, the arrangement of this piece is really creative, and the instrumentation and atmosphere are also highlights for me. Keep at it, Lagiarathalos! :)
