Yeah, i don't agree on the 100 songs and you'll be pro statement, some people's first songs i have heard are excellent.

YES!
It's not bad if you can't understand the lyrics, but the high pitched squealing aspect of the screaming sounds like that kid from youtube that spazzes out when his mom cancels his world of warcraft account.
This synthesis is boring, undynamic, and basically just stock instruments. You should experiment with combinations of tables and commands, and learn how to make kick drums and snares in LSDJ by using tables. Try stacking noise instruments with kit instruments for punchy drum sounds.Listen to some 10k. His vocals are boss and he's pretty much perfected the style I think you're aiming for. Learn LSDJ more. You don't have to release everything or rush. I waited a long time before I ever released any tracks, and I was really happy that I did in the end.
And yea, quit asking people what they want to hear and make what you want.
I'm sure there are some exceptions, but all these new artists are always rushing to get popular and get their next new ep out, but they're always getting way ahead of themselves as their songwriting skills, synthesis, and originality need time and practice to develope.Keep at it and don't give up. I know this sounds harsh but I'm just trying to help. Take a chill pill and learn your stuff.
That being said, I can hear that you have a lot of potential. Keep practicing and making tracks. Keep singing and playing guitar, keep experimenting. It's really cool that you're super eager and open to revising your stuff and improving it. This shows that you have the potential to get better and better. Keep at it, man.
I agree with you on that, My next song currently is using tables,kick and uses a lot of the features of LSDJ..... I am also fleshing out the screams, Thanks a lot for you feedback! i am very keen to get better 
Edit: 10k got me into chiptune
My opinion is this guy has to fix his attitude before fixing his music.
Update: With the new song i'm using a guitar to get more metalish sounds happening I've got a sick breakdown worked out

... He's actively remaking the site right this moment. It looks like that because he's fixing some bugs and testing random code; it's not like that's our actual finished project. A little harsh much?
I agree, it isn't that bad and they are working on it
The red modded DMG is awesome!

Really, you could make tracks that sound like a garbage disposal , but if the artistic theme matches up correctly it will work. Just please don't evereverever make music to please the masses, but still set your standards high of course.
[...]This only applys to shitbird. He is his own mad art factory.

"Destiny Island breaks, so my world just fades..." <- I vote this. ('cause after all, Sora is not really leaving Destiny Island, it just got fck'd up by the darkness.)
That sounds great i will use that as the title!
this thread is hilarious
Thank You for that unnecessary contribution, please never visit a thread of mine again.
Destiny Island, or Departing from Destiny Island would be a cool name
Shitbird is right though; you are you, not me
Thank's Jake this is a rough so i could change the name when i record it again
Nice work on that collaboration single
Okay, your scream should change a little
the high range scream you are using is a cool trick for a couple of lines, but not a whole song, bring it too the mid range... I havent been in the post-hardcore scene for a couple of years so I dont know if Asking Alexandria is still something I can reference safely, but that range is what you are in need of. low range would sound too muffled with this fidelity. also... breakdowns are coolI actually really like the track
Yeah my next song currently has a lot less high pitched screams, The reason the song is named after Kingdom Hearts is the lyrics (That nobody can understand) is about leaving Destiny Islands
@shitbird That is great advice!
my hardcore song i'm working on is actually influenced by Stern Fucking Zeit- Page Not Found
Oh geez, it's on like donkey kong! Page not found is Awesome, you better not fck this up.
And if you are really curious i can translate the lyrics for you and PM them you.
Haha, that would be great! Please don't compare it to Page Not Found because i love that song to death and i dont want to mess it up either 
it's just influenced by it

Stern Fucking Zeit are German and i can't understand them but i still like there music.

2. @ 9heart Sorry you found them annoying, Would you guys prefer if i change the types of screams on different lyrics? and when i record vocals it takes me a lot of takes but i do the whole song each take and i don't run out of breath so i dont think that's a problem
[...]Damm, don't say "sorry". Makes me feel like i did something wrong and beeing a dick
Well, about the screams, i just don't know. To be fair, before i heard of Chiptune i loved Punk and some Hardcore. For example i listened to alot of Comeback Kid. They not actually screaming, more like shouting. That's the best way i can describe it.
Also you are young aren't you? I know, you already sick of hearing this, but your Voice will might change in the future (mine only did slightly). To be honest, your screams are (for my opinion) a little bit to high, they have to be a little bit darker, depper.
Why you don't start out writing some danceable stuff, learn to perfect the ways of LSDJ and make cool tunes? Then you still can start to put in Vocals and Lyrics in it.
Have you checked out Stern Fucking Zeit? There pretty cool, i guess, i dig there style and also liked "Demotwentyeleven" of them. But on the other hand i also dig a way early release of them ("+Thaibit+", where they don't even have lyrics in a single tune (and there are 12 on it).So you see, you can deplove your style thoughout the time you make music.
Don't feel bad bro 
But i have good news for you, my hardcore song i'm working on is actually influenced by Stern Fucking Zeit- Page Not Found So look forward to that. Yeah i am only 14 xD also i think i could learn to perfect LSDJ with vocals because then i'm perfecting both
The Sky Is Black Not Blue wrote:Okay so the main reaction is less effects and cleaner vocals?
I definitely recommend you listen to the song it sounds very different to the first song.
Just listened to bits and pieces of it, and yeah it's pretty much what I expected. Not really any spot that catches listener attention. There's no wav, no bass, no kick, I mean, those are all really essential to keeping attention of the listener. The vocals were actually pretty hard to listen to because of the pure screechiness of it, but it was cleaner than I expected. Better mixed than I thought.
Thank's for that I am currently working on a more hardcore type of song which uses every channel
