this is totally gonna be right up my alley when it's finished

only things I'd recommend:

if you have a spare channel that isn't doing anything, throw in some really long lines to kind of complement what you're doing with the syncopated stuff! I don't know if you're planning on using 2xLSDJ or not, but if you are, then using a pulse channel for long lead lines totally makes this AMAZING

another thing you could do to get the kick louder (again, it only works with 2xLSDJ ) is have the wav kick on another channel completely on its own. when you're working with music that fast and you want to do stuff with a bass pattern like that (when it goes kick-bass-bass), the problem is always going to be whether you have enough room between the kick and the bass note for the kick to really make its presence known, simply because it doesn't have time to do its pitch shift down before it gets interrupted by the bass note! the higher the BPM gets, the less time the kick drum has to do this! so a potential solution would be to simply give the kick drum its own channel so it has time to get through the table. but then you lose a wav channel

you could also use another pulse channel to double it like skgb said (again, 2xLSDJ) and that gives your kick a great hardstyle-like presence! I guess I'm just trying to make you get another copy of LSDJ ._.

sounds awesome though! really looking forward to hearing more of this

only problem with that is, i can't afford another gameboy. in fact, even if i had another gameboy, i couldn't afford the link cable, cartridge, or extra recording cable to do so.

the noise channel never really changed, actually.
and those "samples" are just stock LSDJ speech programmed to say "ARE YOU RDY TO RAVE"

Im talking about 0:39, pretty cool. And you were using the speech synthesis? I should start using that more

speech synth is quite fun to use once you get used to how you're meant to sequence the words. i've made my gameboy scream expletives in robotic voices more than one time.

sounds great, the noise channel in the beginning is amazing, and I loved your use of the R command in it too. Did you make your own samples? It sounds like "are you ready to rage" nice stuff

I dunno exactly if this is your thing, but I incorporated a lot of hardstyle jawns into this ep (particularly track 2, 3 and the bonus track) http://skgb.bandcamp.com/album/the-worst-music-ep

If you're running lsdjs, and you want a hard ass kick, try doubling up pulse and wav channels. Also, use P, V, and R commands in a table to do a really heavy pulse kick (what i used for the kicks on that ep)

HAAAAAAAAAAAAARDCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE

unfortunately given the fact that the kicks are in time with the lead, i can't use EITHER pulse channels for sake of keeping the song intact. i'm stuck with the WAV and NOI columns at the moment.

Reckon you could get that kick any louder (or make everything else quieter)? Maybe start the pitchbend higher up too, to get a more old-school psy kinda kick.

Liking the vibe and the riff though! Keep working at it for sure.

you're right, should get working on a louder kick for the WAV channel. that one was just a placeholder for me to add something with a bit more punch, anyways.
