Hi there!
Before I post anything else I should introduce myself here.

I'm ClipHead, currently living and working in Cologne, Germany.
I started making music when I was young. First as a drummer in an orchestra, later it went on to rock music and learning more instruments (Guitar, Bass, Piano...). During the last months I realized that I needed something new for me to explore and (hopefully) master. Used to play around with ProTracker back in the days and right now I'm working on understanding LSDj. SunVox, FamiTracker and ProTracker have to wait right now...
I'm glad I found this forum and hope to learn a lot from you!

Hey Urbster1!
Thank you for your reply...these kind of threads seem to have few friends in this forum.
The bass shouldn't have the "side chain" effect I used with the pulse channels. But you're right, there needs to be more variation/dynamics and I will work on it during the coming week. I think the bass-eq I added in Audacity didn't help either and this makes the track sound muffled in the end. I also will try to do some variation on the melody in the last part, since it just repeats there...

Thanks again for your input and ideas. I would still love to get some further tips from other members of the forum!
Feel free to contribute smile

This is my third 2xLSDj-Track and my first post in this forum. I just didn't want to post another "This is my first LSDj-Song!". tongue
Usually I play guitar/drums in rock bands and recently started tracking again (after using ProTracker in 2000 for an industrial project/FamiTracker sometimes for fun).

This Song was recorded connecting two non prosound-modded DMGs directly with a Zoom H6, resulting in 4 Tracks. I liked the sound through my mixer (Vestax PMC-280) when writing it, but it lacked some bass with the Zoom. I tried making up for it with audacity - now it sounds flat, doesn't it?

The structure is pretty simple, but building up over the time of the song. I will integrate more breaks, but perhaps it would be good to shorten some parts or make them more interesting.

I would love to hear your ideas on recording/sound and structure. Be honest and brutal!
