..........what?

Your post makes absolutely no sense, I'm sorry but I cannot make sense of what you're asking here at all.

What I can tell you though that you don't need FL or Massive to make good music (Brony music's nice in the diversity of tools people use, a good majority of people use Ableton but there's a fairly nice spread of DAWs). Tools are only a small part of what makes a good song good and if you don't know how to use them fancy tools aren't going to do you any good (and vice versa you can make beautiful pieces with bad tools if you know what you're doing).

Your piece needs more sub bass, if we're just focusing on the wub section here's what you should do:
-Raise the volume of the wubs, they're really hard to hear
-Maybe add some stereo width to them, it can really help with wub basses
-Layer a triangle or sine wave bass underneath the wubs playing the same notes, bass boost it and cut off the high ends
-EQ out the low ends in the wub

That should help give them a bit more impact.

You win +400 points for MAKING YOUR OWN GODDAMN SOFTWARE! But why go the extra mile to make something from the ground up? To me it seems a bit arbitrary (I can't program), I admire your perseverance and dedication but why not switch to a different DAW or use plugins?
I am however very curious to see what your programs look like.

As for the track Sherlock Pie, I agree with Whitetail, the wubs lack power and presence in the track and overall a bit more reverb would be nice.
