Fruity Loops 9?

Start with a drum beat. Using the sequence and playlist features, it's really simple. Just set your tempo to something sorta slow (around 90-100 or so) and pull up the sequencer. Load in the basic drum sounds that you like (hi-hat, snare, bass drum, cymbals) and begin. For a simple 4/4 beat drop the snare on every 2nd or 4th step. Mess around and add bass drums and cymbals around that. At the top of the program there are two switches (one says Song and one says Pattern). Hit the pattern one and hit play to loop your current channel over and over, and keep adding/removing sounds until you get it to sound right. Once this is done, click on the playlist and add the channel to the playlist as many times as you want. You can then go to a new channel and drag and drop another instrument to layer over the drum channel. Once you have an instrument loaded, you can right click on the instrument's name and click on piano roll. This is like a digital keyboard where you fill in the notes you want for the instrument. I don't know, that's pretty much how i started out. Any production program takes some practice to get good with, and it's all about trial and error. I hope i helped somewhat, if not, eyyyy i tried.
