This is not my first original work, but it is the first one I've been willing to share with the public. I showed this to some of my friends and they liked it, but I would also like to have an expert opinion and advice. Have a listen and enjoy!

Edit: I put the VRC6 square 1 up an octave, changed the intro bass(I kept the walking bass for the verse), and I added a bit of VRC6 pentatonic craziness in the repeating verse. Thanks for the advice, guys. The song sounds much better now!

Oh neat, I quite like it, although I don't think you really made use of the expansion like you could have, you also need to mix the volume down a bit, and I think adding some variation in your bass and noise would do you some good! Keep up your good work mate!

What he said. :P

Additionally, VRC6 pulses and 2A03 pulses apparently have opposite polarities (they're inverted), so when playing the same thing using the same pulse-width on both sides, you get some interesting effects, but they also cancel each other out on occasion, and the sound from loop to loop is inconsistent.

You might try something like using a different pulse-width or moving up or down an octave on one of them.

Lots of interesting techniques on display here! Just as a note, when you play 100% identical notes on two different channels at once, you're going to get unpredictable results, as Famitracker doesn't have any kind of automatic chorusing - everything is rigidly exactly the same speed unless you specify otherwise, and since notes can start at different phases due to the state of the song leading up to it, it'll sound slightly different each time. In this song it sounds really cool though.

You can also get related but changing-over-time sounds by putting P81 on one of the channels in the identical note pair. Try it sometime - since the two notes aren't QUITE the same pitch, you get a phasing-in-phasing out effect that loops over time. You can make it faster by making the gap wider (P82, P83, etc).

Keep practicing, composing, studying, asking questions and learning! :D

Nice track! I would have never expected such use of the effects.

As for the pulse inversion, V01 on 2A03 and V03 on VRC6 cancel like V01 on 2A03 and V03... on 2A03. Don't have time to listen right now, I'll post later. Promise!
