I tweaked this one a lot. I feel it's truly expressing me, and the thing I wanted to express. I would really appreciate some feedback. Or if reverse psychology works on you, I don't need your stupid feedback ech!

It's interesting what changes things. I tweaked the fire sound a very lot, turning it down in general, but increasing the fast rises and falls. You'd think that'd sound schizo or something, but in the context of the wash of the other channels it's perfect.

It's kind of annoying to listed to with the amount of noise and unedited triangle you've put into it. A slight remaster of the noise channel and some simple arpeggio or stops with the tringle will do wonders. Also, you don't have to put the volume in each column, the tracker will play the same volume until you change it unless the instrument tells you otherwise. I also noticed that you sometimes put the instrument "04" in several columns after eachother with no note playing and I'm not sure why you'd want to do that. Sorry if this seems a bit harsh, just trying to help ^^

Thanks for your comment. FamiTracks have come a long way and lots of expansion chips usage and clever effects and instrument settings are pretty much everywhere (cool!). It's no surprise that, therefore, you seem to be used to styles with more refined technique to them. This song (and many of mine) are an evocation of the early days of the NES. It's as much a time trip as it is good music (I hope). In addition to that, the soundscape of this is, I guess I have to say this, a little different from the norm. If you listen to it on most volumes except the loudest, and let it wash over you like a cloud instead of trying to hear melodies, it could be a thousand spirit voices of a thousand quests. Yeah, something like that. Not all my tracks are like this soundscape though. Thanks for subjecting your ears to it. >_<
As for the errant "04"s etc., I think they're just leftovers from previous edits. Does that bother you? Why?
Volume: If you meant in each row (where you said column) yes I know that, it's just a way that I sort of "paint in" the volume I want. I hold down the key and let it fly sometimes.
Thanks again.
