Oh god this. This sounds like music from a VERY low budget NES game (not a good thing). This is overly reptitive and doesn't have any real content to it.
Gah.

Okay, If you want more quality instruments don't use Fruity Loops. Try Pro Tools, Logic Pro, or Garage Band. Maybe you didn't want it in 4/4 time and thats your choice, but that is the easiest to work with when your messing around with your first song. It doesn't sound like you know any theory. Alot of notes were out of place, some made me want to turn it off. Work on it some more.

Re: Chemical Swing (my first song)
I want to praise you on your use of the diminished fifth interval about 20 seconds in or so but I can't as I know it was by mistake and overall, the song was very bad. You had one theme, and developed it, then left it going for the rest of the song with very minute changes throughout. No real structure, the off time signature seemed more accidental than artsy, and it was simply notes going up a scale.
Gah.

0:18 sounds incorrect for a bit.

It is impossible for a song to be incorrect. Music is art and can be displayed however the artist chooses to convey it. However, in this case, he unintentionally discovered dissonance. Dissonance is the yin to consonance's yang. Whereas consonance will be a harmonious agreement of tones, such as a power chord, dissonance is an inharmonious use of uncomforting and tension building tones. He just didn't do it purposely, which negates the premise.

The whole tone scale is like the most stable scale ever, man.
Good choice.
Good choice.

Re: Chemical Swing (my first song)
i actually did the weird offbeat things by using the ping pong effect, before i turned that on it was right on key the whole time virtuelly. Should i turn that off so it can be better? It was in 4/4 time with 145 as the BPM. I don't know if FL messed up or something because some of those notes didn't sound right. I could actually give you the FL Project file to prove it
