I feel like one of the most important parts of a Famitracker song is the percussion. You have to make sure there's a good balance between the music and the percussion. If the Noise channel/DPCM channels are too quiet, then the song will seem lifeless and dull. If the pulse/expansion channels are too quiet, then you could accidentally drown out your song's main melody. There are ways to balance it out, with normal means (changing the volume on the channels), or by abnormal means (using the triangle for the beat rather than your bass via 2xx). Like I said, you have to make sure it's just loud enough. Don't go overboard.
-Please note that this is my opinion. You don't have to listen to me. Heck, I'm still learning new things.

One way to do it is by beginning the song with some loud chords. These can either be by themselves or in the melody. Of course, a powerful melody can also add to a song's impact.
