Am I retarded?

[iblamegeneticrecomb]

jfl I’ve downloaded fl for a week now just for fun and I’m terrible at it. Am I untalented asf I can’t create a melody from the start and have legit no creativity. Is this normal in fl or just untalented asf ?

You’re 100% normal, seriously
A week in FL is nothing. Almost everyone opens it, stares at the screen, and thinks “wow I have zero creativity” at first.

Creating melodies from scratch is a learned skill, not a talent you either have or don’t have. Most good producers:

• started by copying melodies, using scales, presets, or MIDI packs
• made absolute garbage for months (sometimes years)
• slowly trained their ear and instincts over time

FL doesn’t reward “raw creativity” at the start—it rewards practice and experimentation. Creativity comes afterfamiliarity.

You’re not untalented, your brain just hasn’t built the music patterns yet. That happens by messing around, stealing ideas, and having fun

If you stick with it and keep it playful, you’ll surprise yourself. Everyone who’s good once felt exactly like this

If you couldn't match Mozart on your first day, just quit
