i have marked 2 positions on your track.
Those are imo good!
Im not so thrilled with the other parts, but the low register melody, and style is dope!
Technically you should work the instruments over with eq-ing, you can just get SO more sound! Also as already pointed out, you could lift the bassdrum/ kick a notch.

I do not hear any cliping, but I was rather shocked myself, how much the 10 band stereo eq can do to a track, and I am starting to use that plugin more and more.

It might be a good idea, to try it, and then also switch it off and listen to see if youre going in the right way.

EQ is not about cliping but lifting certain frequencies, and maybe damp others. In general I always add more bass and more high end, but thats up to you.
It can cause clipping, if you lift certain frequencies too much though.

( vu meter going to much into the red)

Whats eq-ing?
I turned up the bassdrum but it goes on the red section.
But i am happy with the bassdrum volume.

How do I add more bass?
And whats the 10 band stereo eq?
The vu meter is the volume right?
In lmms it doesnt go into red. In some parts maybe.

You can find this plugin in two ways. On is on the fx tab of any instrument ( triple os or audiofile processor and so on)
Or in any of the mixer channel, same option, click add effect. Then you see a list of plugins. (not all work great but most do)

Search for e.q (type eq) and you get a few options. 10 band stereo eq is fine, but you can of course try others too.

Here is a great video tutorail of Musickbear about using the FX mixer.
The green yellow orange and red color thingy is a vu meter.
In the vid you see him lower the volmue, so that the percussion is not in the red anymore.

He also lowers the master volume so that we can hear him talk. I general though we should not adjust the master volume in that way.
