Hello! Well, after posting my first song, I tried to take into account the criticism I got on that and improve on those areas and just focus on writing a catchy song rather than, as someone put it, "write a symphony."
So, I tried to work a lot on my leads in this song, and I also tried to experiment around a bit more with the instruments, though for the main lead I seem to be able to get the majority of what I want simply through the use of effects. But I tried to make some better percussion instruments, etc. I think making instruments is one of my major weak points - it really has been with every music program I've ever used.
you're improving. much better than your previous song. VRC7 is kinda hard to use, especially when you dont know what patches to take. but you handled that. instruments are well done and well choosen.
everything from 08 is pretty great.
it's missing some chord progressions, but you'll get to that yourself as you make more and more tunes. or maybe covers. you can also learn from the songs you cover.
Excellent work, I did think that frame 07 was a little cluttered, after that the song really picks up and is just awesome, I did notice in frame 11 you had a few D-0 in your Pulse one channel, Those channels can't go that low, the lowest note the can sound is A-0. I also loved the rhythm change you put in on frame 0A, it's very nice, although some tasteful swelling might make it even better, also I agree with what DJ said! Keep up this good work man! :D

I can't seem to open your ftm - it says I need to download the latest version of Famitracker, but I do have the latest version of Famitracker. I redownloaded it to make sure. But thank you!
Doxic:
I think that seems to be another thing I stumble on, sometimes my stuff gets a bit, as you said, cluttered. I'll definitely try to eliminate that in the next song. Thank you very much!
In general, I think the consensus is that the intro was the weakest point of the song - I agree, I really was not too impressed with it, but I just couldn't think of anything else and I showed it to some friends and they said I should continue on with it anyways - which I'm happy I ended up doing because I think I made some changes for the good and learned a lot about tracking through making this song.
So I think in my next song, try to make a more...compelling? intro, K.I.S.S., (keep it simple, stupid)and, to a lesser extent, try to get some chord progression. This is what I love about this forum so far, I can come here and get very honest criticisms and use them to actually make myself a better artist.
I have to say this is even better than the stuff I make. I can never get to have a good song, and when I have it, it's either in my broken mind, close to be forgotten, or in my computer, abandoned because of lack of ideas.
Yeah, the intro was a little... not too interesting, but I'm impressed at how the song continued after it, the effects you put in there, the extensive use of portamento and vibrato, and maybe a few other things.

I think the same of this place even before I joined. I was stupid at first but then I learned from my mistakes and now I know how to behave. This place is great.
