### Everyone has Potential [BETA 5] [2A03]

This was a song that I worked on last night after I somehow managed to create what is now Frame 0, and it just developed from there.
I think my sound control is a lot better than my previous works, which I am very proud of.
My only real "gripe" with this song is that there really isn't any "intro" to it. It just throws you in and you're on your way. Also, the Triangle and Noise channels are basically static throughout the entire song. In later songs that I make I would like for those channels to be a little bit more dynamic.
The one thing about this song that I really like is the use of the Vibrato effect. I keep forgetting about this 4xx command because I never really used it in my songs before; People have given me tips on how to use the effect, and I see people use it very well in their own songs, but I never seemed to get the hang of it in my own. This song changes that. I think I use the effect very effectively and it sounds wonderful to me.
The name is also a little cheesy, but I see this being either a credits theme or a "hero comes to power" type theme during a tense moment of the game, so I named it accordingly. And, yes, if you noticed the song name is "You have Potential" while the title is "Everyone has Potential" because... I don't know really.
Hope you enjoy! All criticims are welcomed! Sorry for the rambling post. It's just that I wanted to post my thoughts on the song for you guys to read.
BETA 5 refers to the developer build of Famitracker. Build date: July 13, 2015 (As it is said in the bottom right side). I aplogize if this turns anyone away from listening to the song.
EDIT: Added files to this post for convenience.

This is beautiful! Maybe it was because I was watching a lot of stuff on Crunchyroll today, but I think this would make for a good anime ending song if it was "de-chipped". I think your "crash cymbal" is a little strange, but that's just my own tastes. Also, when only one pulse channel is doing something, you should add some echo effects to the other to give the song some more texture. All in all, a wonderful piece!
Side note: The name of the file reminds me of that one Geico commercial.

I appreciate the reply, Teuthida! I actually did think about trying arrange it for piano, but I don't think it would do the song justice. But that's just my opinion!
Yea, I do have to agree that the crash symbol towards the end of the song has a little bit too much "Crash", so I'm going to have to mess with that a little later.
I believe you're referring to frame 02, when Pulse 2 just plays a solid E-3 for the whole frame. I can see where you're coming from, and I'll mess around with it later, also, but I kinda cheated and just played the tonic note (Since I'm in E Major it's E) just to match Pulse 1... Hehe... Kinda cheap of me, I know.
Thanks for the reply! I appreciate it!

No, I didn't mean that one. I'm talking about parts like the end frame, where the pulse 1 channel does absolutely nothing while the pulse 2 channel plays the ending melody. Pulse 1 should add some echo effects onto Pulse 2's part.

Aw! I see what you mean! Later today when I tinker with the suggestions you've given me I'll check out the echo! Now, thinking about it, it actually sounds like a good idea.

I liked your song so much I decided to convert it into sheet music! How do you like it? I was originally going to make the piano part a vocal one, but the song turned out to be unsingable. The high parts were barely possible, and a single low B just couldn't be done.

Teuthida! I seriously can't express my gratitude! Thank you soooo much for this transcription! Even though it may have been simple (or extremely complex) I really appreciate it!
Now, if only I still had Fruity Loops installed... I would've been able to arrange it there then post the mp3 file of the song!
Teuthida! My thanks extends to you once more! I will learn this piano part immediately!

Aww, thanks! I could give a sound file, but due to the nature of the cheap program I use, it doesn't read the leo. marking, so the piano always cuts off short. I've attached it anyway if you want it.
Also, I happen to play the cello! I'm not that great, but you made it easy on me My friend's a drummer, too. If we just find a violist, we can make this song a reality!

Holy crap, dude! I never would've known how... epic? I feel like the violin and cello really brings some depth to the song that the orginal just couldn't get. (Because of limitations ecetera...) I really appreciate this alot, Teuthida! It sounds wonderful!

I made an edit for some reason. It adds some echo effects, DPCM kick drums(to match the sheet music) and quotes a certain song in one part.
