1. Frames: You're making new frames, only to make the same tune. If you're going to reuse a tune from a previous frame, then just use that frame instead. Unless you're planning to make all of your songs frame synced.
2. Volume: You shouldn't really have all of your channels at full volume. If the channel isn't the lead, then it should be dialed back a bit.
3. Sustains: You're keeping the pulse channels sustained for way too long. You can press "1" to create a note cut, which kills the sound playing on that channel, or if you have a release programmed, press "\" to create a note release.
4.Octaves: The Pitch Ranges of the triangle is too close to the lead. You should lower the octave of the triangle chaannel.
(Note: the Triangle Channel can't have its volume turned down. It's either on or off)
Other: It seems unnecessary to program a loop for your instruments. They will usually stop on the last volume.
Here's an edit I made

I assume you have the beta. I get an error when opening. So how do I get this beta? I looked around...

I'd personally use Peazip, but whatever.

Thanks all. I use an archiver for GNOME desktops simply titled Archive Manager, and I installed unrar to use with Archive Manager for .rars.
Doc2211, allow me to explain some things. I usually use new frames even when duplicating material, so that I can make edits to later sections without affecting the original instance. You might be surprised by the good effect that even the smallest variation can have later on in a song/piece/whatevs. So, it's just a habit to make new frames most of the time.
As far as the triangle crowding the high register lead pulse line, as well as the volume all being similar (check the instruments tho--they're not all the same), the crowding/noisiness was intentional. It's a taco truck! It's Mexican! It's loud and raucous! It's a party! Come on!
Sustains: it might seem like a n00bian thing to do, but I do it for a)the same reason as described in the previous paragraph, and b) because I like to evoke the early 2a03 dayz. I enjoy a good cinematic soundscape with gated voices, but lately (maybe not forever) I really like evoking the harder, simpler mid-80s stuff. For instance, check outz the relative unsophistication (surprising, no doubt) that you can hear in even this mega-track.

I feel like it's a calling, really.
Note: Yes, there is lots-o'-gating in the Mega Man track. Taco Truck On Every Corner doesn't have it because raucous! raucous! For something with some gating (and/or decay), check out what I'm about to post! (MegaMan-ly:) I think you'll really like it.

Oh I get it now. You do it like that because it's more convenient for you. Honestly I just kind of missed the point of the entire thing. Considering that I wasn't even born in the 1980s I didn't really get what it was supposed to be, an actual situation. Thanks for the explanation.
P.S, I did check out Mega-Manly, and it's good! Whatever you're doing keep it up!
