Sound design as a whole, but layering is a big focus for me at the moment + getting a nice clean sound while also having a lot of depth. I've been recreating the sounds of my favorite artists as practice !

Writing better music.

For me, I struggle at all of it but, I would say the most important improvement I would like to make is composition.  In my opinion, if the song is lacking in mixing and mastering, but the content moves a person...that is what is really important.

if you are making electronic music like house, trance or edm watever, i've read that 1 way to get better at songwriting is to study pop music and its history, like stuff on the radio, try and learn about it and then make your stuff, but im not saying to go mainstream lol

Definitely composition. As a long time guitar player, I've been composing loops since I was 12, but never really mastered writing a complete work where the parts fit together well and take the listener on an interesting musical journey. It will also speed up my production process if I have a solid framework for the composition and arrangement before diving into sound design and mixing.

Of course, I'd also like to understand the fundamentals of how to make a project sound more professional, but there are so many people releasing reasonably well mixed, self produced music that it seems it must be a lot simpler than it seems once you understand the basics. Not everything has to have Noisia levels of fidelity to be competent but I've found that even if you have a decently composed work, if it doesnt compare to what people are used to listening to, it is very hard to get people to listen to your music all the way through.

Structure.

Because writing a full song is a lot harder than writing an idea.
