Re: Just got into tracking, here's my first track XD
Now, the problem isn't too many synths, it's just that they aren't placed correctly on the spectrum to give a 'flowing' feel. It sounds like all your your 'foundation' synths (the flute, etc). are being forced to be your melody. Basically, you need to equalize things; you can't just throw random sounds together and call it a good track, it'll just sound really, really muddy.
Anyway, as bmah said, you should definitely learn theory (you don't have to take it as far as taking college courses, unless you wanna make music your career). You can learn basics of theory online, or after a while, basic theory will just come to you.
Also, find some tuts about mixing, mastering, compression, waveforms, frequency spectrum, and crap like that; they're all really important.
