For someone who doesn't know music theory that well what is the best way to analyze a chord progression from a track?
Actually it's not about music theory - I don't know any of it but I just use my ears to figure out individual notes when I hear a chord being played... but I know it's not easy for some people (I guess it comes with practice), so I'm assuming there're tools that can be used to analyze chords/progressions.  A quick google search gives some results, but I welcome any pointers from people who actually used any of those tools!

Hey man, here is a site that has a lot of chord progressions and melodies of popular songs (And EDM songs), example

Composition/Arrangement/Theory / Sub-Bass/Bassline Theory
« on: January 06, 2016, 03:13:06 am »
Do basslines ever just play the same notes as the melody? I have heard they play the root of the chord progression but whenever I try that, during the drop when my melody is playing at the same time, they seem to just conflict. Also does a subbass play some sort of note pattern or is it just a long drawn out 4 bar note or something? I'm very confused with how to use bass in my tracks in general. My drops feel really empty though since I feel i'm not using them right, but I can't find a good video on them.

This is actually very simple, A good thing to do is to download a couple of your favorite tracks and use them as a reference track into your DAW. I don't know about FL, but in Ableton you can set markers and name them. So you can just bring up the track you downloaded onto an audio track in Ableton and analyze the song and mark each section.
