This is my first attempt at building electronic music. I've been at this project for 6 days straight. I'm exhausted. My friend says that I'm not repeating things enough, but I've heard these loops in my head asleep and awake so many times that I can't tell what an appropriate amount of repetition is anymore.

A: How's the mix? Is it too light on sound variety?

B: How's the song structure? Is the intro too long? Is chorus 1 too short? Is the verse too short? Is chorus 2 part 1 too short?

Fuck I'm so tired. I hadn't even heard of the word sidechain before I started this project. Any constructive criticism would be nice at this point. I feel like my work is garbage, because I have no sense of song structure. I'm going to take a few days off of working on this for now to clear my head and perception about it.

So I was working on my first electronic music project last night, and I was trying to come up with variations on my main melody. I came up with one that I liked, so I stuck it onto the chorus. Well, I accidentally left the old melody under it, and because Chariot Horn, the synth I'm using, is monophonic, the synthesizer did some really whacky shit, and IT WAS FUCKING AWESOOOOME! I show here both melodies, what happened when I stacked them, and how I adapted what I heard into something new!
