I just recently started screwing around with LSDJ. Last night I made these two (very short and repetitive) tracks. I play bass and drums, so I have a pretty decent idea of composition and music theory and whatnot, but I'm a scrub at chiptune/LSDJ. Some CC would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Also, here's some even shittier stuff I made a while back https://soundcloud.com/rainbowgravity/s … r-attempts

They're some first-attempt LSDJ jammers for sure... welcome to the party. big_smile Look around for technical advice here and elsewhere and you'll soon be blooping up a storm....

A tip I'd give is to try synthesizing drums when it seems like samples aren't loud enough. Kick drums and toms are just a tone that pitches down some.

Thanks guys big_smile

I made a new thing, this time I tried to utilize the noise channel a lot more. https://soundcloud.com/rainbowgravity/bleep-bloop

I tweaked some of my old ones a bit and reuploaded them, if anyone's interested.

You did a great job on that one where you said you utilized the noise channel more. I always have trouble with drums in chiptune, so I really applaud you on that. I couldn't access your other songs for some reason when i click on the link so i can't say anything about those, but i did listen to a few of the others on your soundcloud and they sound fantastic, so keep up the good work!

Yeah sorry about that, the links in the original post are broken now because I deleted and reuploaded the songs after a bit of tweaking and whatnot. I started using FamiTracker recently, and I think I'm just going to stick with it for the most part because it's much less frustrating than LSDJ can be. Anyway, here's a couple new songs I made in FamiTracker. I'm pretty proud of the second one especially.
