My newest song, utilizing the VRC expansion chip (though my use of channels was lighter than usual). As a side note, the bit that actually inspired the title and song (a square-triangle unison that made heavy use of the given channels) actually did not get used, because I wasn't able to find a good work-in. Rather than ruin what I had, I decided to submit it as is. I am very happy with how this turned out, but there are two things I may revisit in the future: the somewhat abrupt transition around the :45 mark and the way the song ends.

Constructive feedback is appreciated, and I hope you enjoy!

Yes, you are right. You have to work the end of the song. Something like a steady fade-out might do the trick.

Actually, that last sawtooth synth was supposed to fade out - I guess that's what I get for doing a rushed upload at 4 in the morning.

Try putting some decreasing volume values as the frame gets closer to the end. But, ummmmm... wait! It has a volume value of 4. It can't be easily faded, since you only got 3, 2 and 1 left. I think you got some really hard work there.

Oh hell, here, I tried something.

As I mentioned above, I actually did have it fade-out. What I ended up doing was ditching the volume fade-out in favor of one done in Audacity (since as you mentioned the volume goes from 4 to 0, leaving little room for a smooth transition). I intended to go back and put it in FamiTracker before uploading for those who wanted to use the .ftm, but I rushed the upload at 4 AM to get to bed and ended up forgetting to do that.

So yeah.

The same happens to me. I sometimes upload things without finishing them properly. Next time we should give our modules a little more work, and we shouldn't rush things. These mistakes often happen, I think.
