CicadAe is really nice, bass sounds really fat. Was that just in Fruityloops or did you have some outboard synth you used with it? Nice tune.
I started off with Fruityloops around 1999. It was the only music software I knew at the time (was only about 13 years old). I wanted to make some jungle so I used that. I haven't used it since around 2004 when I switched to Renoise. I learned how to sequence breakbeats on the step sequencer since it didn't have the Piano Roll when I first started using it. Used to have to double the tempo to get enough ticks for notes. Would put a chopped up section of a break on an individual track and set it to have the same "cut" channel as the other break track snippets coupled with an empty file that I could use to stop the tracks when needed. Had no idea how jungle or any music was actually made so I just had to figure it out on my own and be creative. I loaded up FL Studio a couple years ago and felt joy for that little step sequencer and that not much has changed about it. Being able to easily input pitch, filter, and volume edits for drums was awesome.
Here's a little clip of one of the last things I did in Fruityloops, think it was 2002 or 2003. I slowed it down a little bit since it was 190+ bpm at the time.
