Does anyone else find that the noise channel has significantly lower volume in for example NSFplay compared to Famitracker? I actually have to raise the noise channel so much so that it sounds like crap in Famitracker in order to make it sound close to what I want in NSFplay. That makes me somewhat worried.... I will have pray to some higher being that noone listens to my entries in something other than NSFplay :/

Have you checked all the settings? In NSF-play syntesia, you can both transpose and change volume of each channel individually in the NSFplug settings.
Hi! I'm not really active here anymore but I still make music. Nowadays I mostly make dubstep with emphasis on good melodies and chord progressions.

But wouldn't you need to somehow preface your track with what settings you used when you made it then? Which would be pretty hard to do in this situation. I'd assume everybody who hears my NSF would be using default settings or what they have found to be their preferred settings, not my preferred settings.

Different NES machines have different balance of channels, unfortunately. It is not a high precision machine. There's a lot of variation. You could buy the same model of NES three times and they'd all be different.
Same goes for NSF players, I guess. ;P I measured several NES' and Famicoms and tried to take an average to set the default levels.
When you're writing an NES tune, if the mix of your song is so fragile that a small variation in channel balance is going to ruin your mix, you've actually written something that will play poorly on an NES too. Try to orchestrate in a way that things are robust against this. It's very possible to do!

Fair enough, I was not aware that there was such differences between individual consoles and such. That's pretty interesting.
I would not say that the mix is so fragile, it is just that I feel there is an optimal volume (I admit to having a bit of OCD when it comes to mixing...) for the noise channel on one of my tracks that ends up sounding a bit too harsh in Famitracker but fine in NSFplay. But seeing as there is no standard for channel volume levels, I guess "optimal" is not really obtainable across the board anyway.
I'll just mix the noise channel somewhat lower then, it is better to have it a bit too quiet than too loud. Hope it works out.
