Good point, urbster! I really do like making my percussion a bit more exotic and experimental, but I would probably be brushing off some good advice if I used that as an excuse. I will be sure to look into some tutorials for more realistic kicks, even if it's only to know how to break the rules a little better. Thank you!

You're totally right; I've really been neglecting panning as a tool for creating space in my tracks. I'm going to write that down so I don't forget it! I absolutely know there are no shortcuts for time, and I plan on putting more and more in as I settle into my new schedule because I love making music like nothing else. I may have promised to give a small performance in a month, though, which is why I'm seeking outside feedback now. I've always felt I do my best work with a little bit of pressure, so maybe that's not entirely a bad thing, even if I end up wishing my music was better through the whole set. I really appreciate the feedback, Imaginary!

Track in question: https://soundcloud.com/bitlich/akaka
I feel like this track is fairly indicative of my current work and skill level, and I want to know if there are any glaring issues I should work on moving forward (and yes, I know the noise channel is a little obnoxious in this one). I'm planning on incorporating more melody, variety, and resources (FL Studio plugins, Glitch Machine, vocals) into my future tracks, but I feel like they get muddied down very quickly. Song structure and cohesion are my main concerns at the moment. It seems to me that I can create individual elements that sound great alone, but sometimes they don't actually mesh together as well as they do in my head! In the end, though, I just want people to enjoy my music. Let me know what you think, and thanks for your time!

Hello!
I'm completely new to chiptune production (if you don't count a bit of dabbling in Famitracker), but I've loved it for nearly my whole life and I figured now would be a good time to get my feet wet. I'm teaching myself to DJ (house/drumnbass/dubstep/glitch/chip) and I have a bit of trouble finding a variety of danceable chip music. If anyone could help point some out for me, it would be much appreciated. I also play around with Glitch Machine (madgarden iOS app), and I would love to talk to anyone who actually knows what that is. XD
Anyways, best regards everyone. I hope to become an active and constructive member of this community.
