Hello, I'm new to electronica music. I am pretty much a newbie and have no idea what I am doing. I have no clue how to start making it or anything.

Right now I use FL Studio but I suck badly at it. I guess I am just asking if you will listen to my stuff and help me out or something?

Well my fine canine friend, I just went and listened to What Have I Done?
What have you done? Only joking, I think it's cool that you're making music, but surely the best way to learn is to listen to as much electronica as possible, and really try and figure out what they're doing, and how disparate sounds should be assembled. You listed your influences as Venetian Snares, Aphex Twin, and AFX, which is also of course Aphex Twin. So, OK, those are 2 big name, influential musicians, but an aspiring electronic music maker should have at least 200 influences initially. Eat this shit for breakfast. English, French, German, Scandinavian, Japanese electronica, hip-hop rhythms, so-called World Music. Think big. Anything can be incorporated.
If this all sounds like unhelpful waffle, so be it. But the way to learn is to throw yourself into the world of this stuff, sample everything, and then hopefully emerge victorious with your own unique take on it.
Anyway, best of luck. Smiler Check out other posts / threads in this section to get a list of names you should listen to.
'ta luego...
