Ohh, getting forced to do anything always makes u hate it, for me at least. And when you grow up you realize you actually kind of like it, if it's by free choice, and it's a real shame.

And maybe FL is a bit easier to get started and make music with. At least,I could also find some decent tutorials on Youtube that really got me started easily.
I finished my third song, called "Ascended From Darkness". Listen to it here:
