Felix developed a simple 16-bar loop featuring the famous Roland 808 drum machine and added a groovy bass line.
Both Jesse and Pokelawls were amused to see what the streamer had managed to produce on his first attempt. xQc wanted to add more layers to his production and stated:
"Okay, yeah. Yeah, but now, I've seen what you guys showed me. Now we can add so much more s**t to this. We got to add a trumpet, a cowbell, some vocals, an arpeggio, a f***ing... a f***ing, a boom boom, some f***ing... some beats."
Pokelawls asked if he was a good teacher, and the 26-year-old gamer praised the former for teaching him how to use FL Studio.
After ending the day's music production, Felix said that he would continue to learn more about it off-stream:
"Yeah, thanks for teaching me, man. For sure, man. I mean, I'll probably love it off-stream because I like that, you know? Yeah, just spamming the keys and cleaning all of the samples and all the whatever and..."
Pokelawls agreed with the streamer's sentiments and was excited to see what kind of music the latter ends up developing in the future.
