Plenty of vibe here Love it!

Cool mix of styles and catchy groove to it. I like the rhythmic hits. Too much crackle in mix for me, tho.  Adds a good fill and vibe but seems a bit hot in the mix.

I agree with NWSPR, the vibe is definitely alright, but the crackle needs its checked.

You gotta be joking, this is bananas. I guess only LSDJ HEADZ will appreciate the crackles but I'm digging em.

this my sh*t. <3 it. that flute tho OooOoo

extra crackle adds that extra flavor, nice one

Gotta CRONCH bb!

Thankee!

The crackle is a product 4-bit samples playing constantly throughout the track in LSDJ. That's just what they sound like. They're extra predominant here because the mix is super sparse and there's not muc instrumentation covering them up. If I fill the mix out with more pulse instruments and some bass and extra channels from a second Gameboy, The crackle will probably be minimized to acceptable levels. That's what I've done on other super sample heavy LSDJ tracks. What you're hearing here is just the ultra-raw stripped down bones of a track.

However, thank you for pointing it out! I may be able to use some creative EQ to diminish it if I can hone in on the frequencies without diminishing the top end.

LSDJ HEADZ know that crackle like dusty vinyl lol

Thanks!

Flute sounds like a voice in 4-bit lolol

Crackle makes it extra crispy!

Is there a way to just stream audio through LSDJ to CRONCH it up?  I'd love to funnel a whole track through there.

Okay, I'm onboard the crackle train! Interesting info on the samples so now listening again to kind of hear how it's built for lack of a better way to describe it.

I mean, you *could* put a whole track in there, buuuuut it would need to be broken in to 2.5 second sections and patched into LSDJ as individual sample kits XD. Then you'd have to reassemble it by programming the clips.

Yeah, so the Gameboy plays samples back at a sample rate of 4 bits and everything is crackly and usually only bears a passing resemblance to the source sample. I generally cover up the crackles with two gameboys and multiple channels of pulse instruments to fill out the mix. This is a pretty sparse, raw mix. Basically a skeletal track.

You can also only do max 2.5 seconds per sample, so everything has to be in itty bitty pieces. So this is a lot of small 4-bit samples sequenced together to make a tune.

So I can totally see where you're coming from--there *is* a lot of crackle! And it's constant. If I work on this more, I'll try and fill the mix out so it's not too noticeable, but I can't get rid of it because Gameboy haha.
