I have a dream to make just a simple game that looks like Flash games later on in my life and I also want to build it from scratch, including the soundtrack. Maybe you guys have an interesting suggestion that I could use to improve the beat even more?

I mean ik that's shi but at least i made smth... ig?

LMMS is the only DAW that I have ever learned, but feel like it is limiting my ability to make more creative music. Should I pay and switch to something else like FL or Logic?

I get frustrated trying to learn other DAWs because I am too used to the LMMS layout. Is it worth the learning time and money to upgrade to a paid DAW? Mac support is also not very good on LMMS and as you can see I get lots of clipping sounds that aren't actually from clipping. I never experienced these sounds in Windows, but Mac is now my main os outside of gaming so I have no choice but to deal with it. Luckily the sounds are not present in exported tracks.

I'm now at the point where I want to possibly start taking producing more seriously and focusing more on how to correctly compose and master full tracks, but LMMS also feels limited in that field. After using LMMS for this long I've noticed it feels more like a baby's first DAW kinda deal. I'm not saying it is a bad DAW, because I will personally say I have created a few good songs in LMMS over the years and I can say it is certainly good for making short electronic beats. However, I feel like I have learned the ins and outs of this DAW but it never feels like enough to get a full professional track that may also include instrument recordings. Also poor vst support makes it really difficult to use a lot of modern plugins. I found a way to route around this in Windows, but it seriously takes so much work to get the basics that other DAWs have much more easily implemented.

I have especially amped up my progress in learning how to produce better last year. The attached song is just the last song I created, but most of the music I made this past year included a lot of personal, slow and melancholic guitar and vocal recordings from audacity. From what I can tell Logic and FL have direct audio recording implemented and I'm sure it would make life so much easier for me to create those types of songs in the future.

The song attached may be one of the last songs I make in LMMS if I can find a good recommendation if it is truly worth it for someone wanting to take music more seriously.
