Hello! I'm very experienced with LMMS (at least five hours a day for three years), and I'm really good at instrument creation, mixing, and mastering. The issue is, I'm terrible with note placement and song structure. This makes me talented at making remixes (but even my remixes get monotonous because I use the same instruments throughout the entire song), but I can never make originals. Any tips at all? I would love to make music like these:

https://soundcloud.com/monstercat/trist ... too-simple
https://soundcloud.com/7minutesdead/act-iii
https://soundcloud.com/monstercat/muzzy-paperchase
https://soundcloud.com/getsixofficial/orion (and pretty much anything else by GetSix)
Any tips for these things, especially song structure? When I say song structure, I don't just mean Verse, Chorus, etc. I mean knowing when to have an instrument play, when to not have it play, etc. I have a nasty habit of having all my instruments playing at all times, with maybe a few segments where a few stop for a bit. Also, because of how they are structured, it sounds like a radio song without the lyrics. Any tips, ideas, etc.?
Thank you!
