So I finally got back into Ableton and managed to produce a somewhat decent song. I liked the way it turned out really, it's a bit soothing and slow paced but it's got its power. Mastering might not be amazing but then again I made this on my laptop using crappy Creative T20 speakers. Well, they're not that bad but not exactly ideal for producing.
Well, here goes:

Feedback is much appreciated, always willing to learn!
It's pretty cool, like the chilledness, the drums could do with a bit more punch and if the main pad/bass from the near the start was widened quite a lot (made a bit rougher perhaps, too, give it some bite). But other than that I like it.

I'm having a tough time properly EQ'ing and compressing drums, but I'm working on it! Also for widening that pad, how would I manage that? More reverb? Or are there things out there like a Stereo Widener-plugin? Cheers!

What did you use to make this? If you used FL, I have some awesome eqqing secrets/tips I've been tought/have found online

Have another identical synth playing the same parts but detuned, maybe even have three at once. It'll widen the sound.
On top of that some light reverb would work, and in FL studio there's a stereo enghancer plugin which could help out a little too. It's mostly about the detuning, though,

Everything was done in Ableton! I've been using FL for a long time too but, for some strange reason I find it easier to finish and 'properly' mix and master a song in Ableton.
