This is the second song i made in Famitracker, i think i approved a little from my first song but not a whole lot. I tried to go for something slow and simple, as opposed to my last song. But all that aside, i'd like to hear your guys' take on this.

It seems a bit over-complicated for you to repeatedly cut to the next frame when you could just lower the number of frames. Also it seems a bit bland to not use the noise or DPCM for either drums or music, but that's just me. But then again, You've only been on the forum for about a month, so I can understand. It's kinda hard to grasp famitracker at first but it's easy to get the hang of once you practice a bit. Here's an edit I made:

Ah, i used the Dxx command on each frame because i wanted to extend the last frame so it could have a sort of fade out effect to it. As for using the DPCM and noise channels, it didn't quite go with the feel i trying to accomplish for this song. That and i'm pretty inexperienced with using the DPCM channel. Also no offense, but this edit you made, kind of sounds like you made a trap remix out of my song. Though, it should help me make something better in the future. So for that and you're feedback, thank you. Now one last thing. Am i only going to get better at using Famitracker by listening to songs on the forums and analyzing them. Most songs on here tend to be a bit overwhelming to follow, with the abundant amount of instruments playing in the background. Not to mention effects and edits to the volume. Any suggestions?

Firstly, the songs seem complicated at first, but if you go and pick it apart, it slowly comes to light as to why it sounds the way it does. Most of the time it's just a bunch of effects that make it seem complicated. Secondly, listening to songs can help, but if you see why it sounds great, then you can use that as a stepping stone for your music. Also a little Trial and Error doesn't really harm anything. Thirdly, I was going for trap music, thanks for noticing. Finally, You should try to learn as much about this from as many people as you can, so don't take it from just me. People have different ways of making music and it STILL sounds great.
