You did a pretty good job with the getting "authentic"sounding sounds, man. The compositions are nice too.

I don't know what others have to say, but I say don't feel like you have to "legitimize" yourself by moving on to only LSDJ forever. Plenty of artists use a variety of formats and systems for their music.

I seriously doubt you'll be able to live up to that statement of "every release from now on will use that [LSDJ]", hehe. There's so much more stuff out there.

The only thing I'd say is try to employ a few more tricks* to create more texture in your sounds and, considering you weren't as restricted in variety of waveforms, It would have been okay to use more than just square waves.

I thought the compositions were really good, if sometimes repetitive. Just the vanilla sounds get tiring after awhile and makes it feel a bit sterile.

Edit: That being said, I really enjoyed listening to this. It was fun I think Typhoon is my favorite, and the kick in code red is pretty sweet.

I can definitely hear the influences in your music. Keep it up.

* I personally like leads with some soulful vibrato, but that's just my preference. Also, block chords usually sound pretty good with some volume swells going on. Straight constant volume square-wave chords usually sound blah. Usually.

Thank you very much for listening, and you're advice is super constructive! I really appreciate you checking it out! I like how you totally understood my reasoning behind moving to LSDJ without me even saying it. LSDJ seems like the best step to take to avoid all of those "fakebit" criticisms that some people throw around. I wanted to write something but I wasn't familar with LSDJ yet so I just wanted to put some stuff out to kinda learn my own style of music and what my sound is gonna be like. Who knows, It could all change once I unlock the capabilities of LSDJ

Great work man!

thank you very much!! means a lot!

I also have two singles for free on my bandcamp. At this point, I am learning to use
LSDJ and every release from now on will use that.
