Love that deep bendy bass over the exploding beats. The glitchy percussion on song2 is awesome.  An epic trip!

Whoa. This was a sick journey. Breaks are amazing.

Thank you! It was "try some shit and see what happens" kind of a week.

Thanks! I was having a fun time with the LSDJ one. There is a lot of extra sound design tools that previously did not have access to when I was using it more regularly. It was really fun to explore with new eyes, more capability, and a bit more knowledge in my more seasoned state.

I was proud of that bass Nice to see someone notice. I don't think I could have done that with older versions of LSDJ. Thanx for listening!

Thank you

1 is a bit messy but, it was a good learning experience

2 was more my wheelhouse but took a lot of time tweeking to build a system that worked. I am glad you liked it!

5_10_26: Agree with you and Tone Matrix that the bass steals the show. But I also really like the CR78-style toms, the fast claps, the lasers, and that little rhythm hiccup right before the bass drop around 0:48. A party in a warzone.

808Faith&Breaks: Nice working designing your system for this, because it feels quite cohesive. The kick bassline is a swaggering anchor for the whole thing. Here, I'm imagining the whole 808 kit as a jazz combo with each piece or pair taking turns to solo. Highlights: the melting clave around 2:24, the ultra-fast hats around 2:46, and the cowbell-into-psych-bells section (especially 3:48-4:40ish)

LOL, that crunchy riff at the start is so confident and brash.

Great development throughout with the busy breaks, bends and blindsides.

Thank you It's been fun diving back into LSDJ and seeing what can be done in the latest software. It's a bit mind bogling compared to what we had in the 00s. I don' think I could do those sound w/ out the updates.

For the 808 track, it's always tough working with generative systems. I found stapling down a few of the drum elements helped a lot in keeping things cohesive. The BD and snare have generative sequence variations that decorate the core beat but those consistent elements really helps in locking down the feel. I think the automated out of phase clip launching was also pretty key. Those parts are also generative but for high level structure they are predictable. I am glad you like the melting cow bell I was proud of that one.

Cheers I was doing my best to translate the feel of 1st 44 from Collapse EP into LSDJ. It's a bit of a task but doable(-ish) if you squint real hard and accept some sacrifices

Haha, that made me smile. Aim for the top, for sure!
