Long time lurker, first time posting anything. Hobblesnickets is a song I did a few years ago, but school and work took over. minmaxthehoghole I just made tonight, in about 3 hours. I have the next month off from school and I'm looking to spend that time learning as much about Famitracker as I can and writing some original music. Any feedback/constructive criticism would be much appreciated

Your songs are generally good. However you might need to put a "Z00" effect on every DPCM kick and snare for good audible drums.

Thanks for the compliment. How exactly does the "Z00" effect affect the volume of the drums? I was under the impression that triangle and DPCM channel volume couldn't be manipulated.

Here is a sample from the FamiTracker help text:
Zxx - Delta counter
Directly controls the DPCM delta counter. This can be used to control the amplitude of the triangle, noise and DPCM channels due to the non-linear mixing of audio signals. Valid range: 00 - 7F

Basically, "Z00" can make the drums louder.

Gotcha. I read that before asking, and reference the wiki a lot. Lots of useful stuff. Just curious how it actually manipulated the volume, or if different ranges affected it differently, but hey if it makes the DPCM samples louder then that's all I need. Thanks again.

Wow. That's a pretty substantial difference. There's some volume balance issues in some of the other channels now, and I feel like I could have done some cooler stuff with snare hits and crash cymbals in the noise channel, but overall I'm pleased with this for now.
