How is it? What would you change with it? It's only been my first year with LMMS, but I feel like this loop might be pretty dang good.

Any constructive criticism, both positive and negative, is greatly appreciated.

Maybe the kick and snare are bit too buried in the mix but otherwise it's a good start.

The only thing that bothers me is the kick and snare/clap is drowned out by the other elements. Try Sidechaining. Other than that, its a good song

Okay, I hear what the other guys are talking about.

Tip: Here's what to do. Raise up the volume, of the hihat and snare a tiny bit.

Nice.

The main synth and the snare are very reverberated.
As the volume of the snare is low, the snare is a little confused with the main synth.
At the same time, I find that the snare sounds good like that.
Maybe you can leave it like that in this sequence, and then modify it or add a new snare in the rest of the track, to have a better impact, to have a snare that goes to the foreground.

Concerning structure, there are two parts that are distinguished by the rhythm of the drums (part A and part B).
You could continue the track by repeating something of part A and adding a new instrument, for example an instrument that plays the role of lead.
But after? Idk.
