Hey this was my first project on lmms. Looking for some feedback. Its supposed to be a hip hop track.

Welcome to the community!

Its a track with definite hiphop feel, and that is fine. You need to watch out for attack that is too hard, because thats where your sharp 'clicks' comes from. The other thing you need to watch is the loudness. In Mixer you should not exceed 0dB, eg not have instruments in the red area
I have some tutorials on youtube, that may be useful

Its a very good start, but you really need to look at what musicbear said.

Thanks for the advice! I posted something similar on a sub reddit for lmms and got no response.

Very good first effort.

Looking at your channel, I see you've gotten the hang of mixing with your second song. I'm still unsure about it myself.

Thanks and well tbh I chopped that sample of the the childish gambino song to be the the same length as two bars in lmms. I wish I knew a better way of doing this.

I would appreciate it if you guys took a look a the most recent beat I made.

Your new project is good. I especially like the bass.

you managed the volume very fine, and there is no significant clippings. good work ! I hope you self can hear the difference -how the instruments are 'clean' and the overall crisp and pleasent
