FamiTracker
I'm sure you already know full well about the first five dashes from the left (the note & instrument columns). The sixth dash from the left is a good place for you to experiment; it's the volume control column.
You can use the numbers 0-9 & the letters A-F for controlling the volume (0 being the lowest & F being the highest). This means you can do volume adjustments & even volume fades in places where you feel a note shouldn't be sustained.
The three dashes from the right side is the effects column. If you use a value of A0x (where x is any number,) you can create volume fade-outs. Using Ax0 would create a volume fade-in.

Before you start off with famitracker, you have a screen that looks like this (I'm only displaying the first two sound channels for the sake of text formatting on this forum, which isn't the greatest):
Where you see the single column of alphanumerics is the volume column; use numbers from 0-9 & letters from A-F to indicate volume (note: this is the hexadecimal number system; instead of counting from 0-9, you count from 0-F).
Where you see the column of 3 alphanumerics is the effects column (where Axx is the volume fade-in/out effect).
If you can't understand my diagrams, just copy this entire response & paste it into Notepad.

It takes practice to use FamiTracker, but I've also noticed that it takes research. I've learned only the basics from practicing with the program; I've learned everything else by posting & reading posts on this forum.
That said, I still have lots to learn (& I've only recently learned about the use of the Axx effect from nicetas_c).
