the biggest hurdle for you is going to be "critical listening". this is an actual thing in music. listen to music you like and make a list in a notebook of EVERY sound or instrument that comes into the mix, and when it comes in. this will probably mean you have at least 15-20 different percussion sounds, maybe as many different synths, probably a few less basses, and then SFX on top of that.

while you're doing this, and it will take you many listens to get a complete list, make notes about how each instrument or sample sounds. does it have reverb? is there delay on it? how is it EQ'd into the mix, high or low? if you don't know what any of those things mean as they pertain to music, it's time to buy a book and do some reading.

real poo poo, go out and find a copy of Modern Recording Techniques by David Miles Huber. it's a fat book, probably a little pricy, but if you really enjoy making music, it's a book you'll use for the rest of your life
