Hi, I recently gotten into music and I tried making a few harmonies or something by ear since I can't like read notes and all of those boring stuff but I'm still planning on studying them since I want to learn how to read music.
ps. I'm going for Inomi now rather than Asaiki, since Inomi is kinda what feels like me right now.

I mostly used Garage Band rather than FL Studio since I don't know how to use FL studio, In Garage Band I really like the piano, mic, drums, and the pipa/erhu instruments since I find them the most suiting for me.

Here's my first which I slightly fixed here and there since it was messy but it's still messy since I don't know what to do in music I just liked how it sounds.

What do you think? I got lazy finishing the ending.

My second one

 

I get Sci-fi vibes from this, but it is cool and unique  

Hey, cool that you're trying to make your own music! I think you should give these questions some thoughts:

How many times can you repeat the same musical sound or pattern before it gets boring?
How much do you need to change it from time to time?
How little can you change it to still make it sound interesting?

Just let me know if you got any questions about music, and I will try and help you out or explain. Keep up the work!

Loving #2. It would fit perfect in the background of an indie film if done right.  

The second one is definitely an improvement from the first. Really liking the beat in "where" but those chords need some work. But not bad for someone who doesnt know any music theory nor can read music.

Thank you! Glad you found it unique.

I'l sure will keep this in mind when making music, I'm trying to understand music stuff so I could improve.

Thank you! I'l try improving my chords (I don't know what chords are though but a simple google search wouldn't hurt me lol.)  

I was trying to go for a happy tone but I don't like it, I was trying not to make it too repetitive but I think I failed but I'm really trying my best.

edit: it sounds really messy but im too lazy to fix it, im gonna try to make another happy music.

I don't really like the begining all that much - it's kind of like you tried to put all of your ideas into it at once with no "root" or base... The middle part is really cool though imo. A golden rule is kind of like that something can be repeated 4 times, but usually gets boring the 5th time. However, this doesn't mean you need to change everything. Just make small alterations and you're good to go tbh.

Knowing music theory might help you write more music, but usually I find that focusing on sheet music can be limiting, while just exploring possibilities can lead to so much more options.

The song kind of reminds me of the music they have in Terraria, so it's pretty chill imo.

Yeah I'm reading a few things on music theories rn but I still don't know how to apply them.

Hmmm maybe try playing what you have in reverse?

What would this do?

Also I found one backup files for my kinda old music, also all of the music I've made took me about a month to finish, And I accidentally deleted 5 of them which are still in the works. .°(ಗдಗ。)°.

I recovered and edited my other one, I tried to make it less boring but I was bored when I made this.

 

 

oo Underwater Juvenile is really well done. Best one so far.

"Wonders"- each individual part sounds nice; but the rhythm/timing of each part doesnt match up at all.

Yeah, I couldn't fix wonders I've deleted a few tracks edited a few added a few yet it's still messy.

Also I worked super duper hard on Underwater Juvenile glad my hardwork kinda showed.
