It's really cool but you have to many ideas at once. Less is more. There is a high pitch synth sound that you play almost every bar. play it at the start of every 4th bar and get rid of it when the pass line comes in. If you listen to Basic channel or Surgeon for example it is about the interplay of several elements. Do not be afraid to only use one drum machine and change them out for different sections. Maybe use the lxr2 at the start of the jam and switch to the tr8s when you get into the meat of the track. I have played with just sampling all my machines and using the sounds as samples in the tr8-s because everything acts as a fairly self contained drum buss on it. Other than that you have great sound design ideas.
Hey @NicholasSeamans thank you for taking the time to listen and share your opinions. I certainly agree that less can be more. This was my 1st and only take, it's certainly not perfect or a finished track, but it has enough of something unique enough character. It's always good to be reminded of what makes a good track better, but I'm not one for multitracking and then editing as I don't enjoy that , even if the end result might be objectionably better. Again, thanks for listening.
