I did a remix of Darren Styles' Outta My Head.
This is my first attempt at a track as I got FL Studio for Christmas.
Let me know what you think!

Sounded alright. Definitely liking the bells but it seems as though it's missing something, maybe through in some spacey fx(download glitch,free fx) in there. The build up around 2:15 was good but then you held that high note way too long which totally killed it for me. I felt like it sounded too similar to the original, when I listen to a remix I usually expect a very noticeable difference but it sounded too similar. Are you using the on board snyths for this track or did you use a plugin. I saving up to but FL but not sure whether to buy a decent soundcard or sylenth1 along with it. I would write more but I have a bunch of school work to finish up.
Good Job dude

Thanks alot, I do appreciate the criticism. :)
I have a few ideas how to fix both of the problems you said, I'll post an update soon!
Also, I used only Nexus VST for my synths.

Don't really have the time to comment properly. I like it better than the original though (which i just had to youtube to hear).

Really liked the bells bit as deathproof said, I think it's pretty good but I'm not into producing so I can't say much, good work overall!!

Not bad...! I really like the bells in this version.
The only thing I'd like to mention is, that the second half gets a little bit boring, because it sounds like a simple repeat of the first half. You might want to figure out some kind of alternative melody.

Not much I can add. Good productions are one of those things that comes with experience and practice. You need months of navigating the DAW's, experimenting and establishing your methodology and techniques to get the right sound for you.
All I can say is keep at it!
