Good idea to have a mellow section. A break before the BRK B-B-BRK starts again wink.
The track calms down a bit at around 3:55 but I still think you're right, the harsh lead comes in again quickly. That part could be mellowed out even more and last a bit longer (play a more central role in the track even).

Here are the settings I used for the kick:
Playing C5 notes in pulse channel 1.
Envelope: A2
Wave: 50/50 pulse
Sweep: 34

While checking the settings I experimented with other sweep values and found that 54 or 64 sounded more powerful, but my 34 more "game-like". I think I will use one of the other settings. I could still let the odd kick get a 34 for fun effects.
I welcome any advice on how to tweak the settings, which note to use etc.

At some point I will rework this track. I will definitely share when I finish some more tracks too.
Thanks again for listening and helping!

I'm impressed you've been able to get so many different timbres your first time using LSDJ.

I don't mind longer tracks, but in a piece this long, it might be nice to have a more mellow section to give our ears a break.

What parameters are you using for the kicks? I'd like to hear a deeper sound, which I think is easier with the wave channel, but I know some people are able to make pulse kicks work. You could try doubling with the noise channel.

Keep sharing more stuff!

Here is my first LSDJ track: https://soundcloud.com/ledfyr/sprocket

I think it turned out good with some fun glitchy sounds. I think I should maybe have tried to make the melodies more interesting and also shortened the track a little.
Anyway, I would love to hear any comments about it.
Do you think the kick sounds good in the mix? I used a pulse kick, but maybe a WAV kick could work (WAV channel is pretty busy)?
Any opinions on the arrangement and style of the track?

Thanks in advance!
