This is a good listen. Lots of different songs, put together to make one track.
Congrats! From 0 to 2:55 secs and 3:08 to the end of the track. Every thing plays in time with each other.
Very good.

However, just for a while from 2:56 to 3:07 secs, the sounds are not in time with each other.
Despite this, you have definitely improved alot.

But,.......do my ears, hear an epic cool future track from you....from 3:11 secs to the end of the track?

I hear a very very super cool song. That part, is your new, super epic BIG time track right there.
Use that part, and take your time and make a short super cool song, with that part right there.
That's your golden ticket. Many blessings and good luck.

i know what helped me with music production was to copy my favorite song, and i mean COPY it as good as you can(look up a synthesia youtube video and copy the notes). before i did that my music was bad, afterwards it sounded way better, i wrote better songs, used better sounds, etc. i knew how EDM(or atleast the style of music of the song i picked to copy) is made. also! make something different! instead of what you do, do a simple dance song! or a...something you dont typically do. it gets you out of your comfort zone, and forces you to get creative, not that your not creative enough. hope this helps.

EDIT: also, you just make something stupid. like sidechain the whole freaking thing, and set it to the highest setting

Ha! Ha! Nice saying.

Yeah I totally agree with you, it can be a constant challenge to be creative in ways that allow you to think outside the box, where I normally start off with a drum and a bassline it becomes too automatic so I need to switch it up and say start out with a lead.. keep myself on my toes... after many hours I can begin to autopilot and just cram sound into sound without taking a moment to listen to current changes as I am making them, like rushing through like a standard procedure when I miss out on alot of opportunites to make some nice music, with a bit more effort, because it seems the potential is there. LMMS should stand for "LET ME MAKE SOUNDS" LOL.. good times anyways,.. I get a little bit carried away with long hours just grindin' and not really being 100% alert or focussed, gotta stop that..

I totally agree with what you said too. Ya going into autopilot is a blessing and a curse lol, and it shows in your music, there are some good moments...but then it goes not as good. "LET ME MAKE SOUNDS." LOL that's hilarious. The problem for me is I get to focused and then a good chunk of the day is gone

He! He! Very true.
But then again, if after so many long hours, the track strangely turns out super good and waaaaay better than expected,
it's hours worth wasting and a good day spent.
