What do you think of it? O.o I spent about five hours in FL Studio working on this one.

I don't use a compressor, unless Fruity Limiter counts, in that case yeah I do. XD So yeah, I do then. I need to work on that. O.o

Meh it's not too badly compressed… The sustained sub-bass line will really flatten out a wav form, and the drums are a little compressed. Sounds great through my headphones. :)

A limiter is just a high-ratio compressor :)

I guess I didn't notice the bass, that's a fair point. But I still think the track sounds pretty flat, dynamically- you might consider dropping the bass or percussion more often or just switching it up!

Alright, I'll try doing that more :D

Use less compression.

@link2x101 Really you don't have that bad of a singing voice. I just recommend taking some practice. Otherwise very nice. :)

svf: If I were to re-record this, it'd be much better. I did write the lyrics beforehand, but the entire vocal track was completely improv.

Oh yeah -and the vocals were out of tune, but I like your voice!
