Take the case of N163 of 1-channel,
it is a volume well-balanced in FamiTracker,
but after Export to NSF,
the volume of the N163 has become a roar when you play in NSFPlay.

Please try to compare open NSF (NSFPlay) and FTM.

The fewer N163 channels you enable, the louder it becomes. This is actual behaviour observed on a real N163 chip.

Volume values 0 to 3 yield decent results on hardware. As an alternative, you could also enable more channels and leave them unused; this will introduce aliasing but will result in a comparatively quieter N163.

...Or you could just optimize for NSF output.

You can use the device mixer in NSFPlay if you don't like how loud the N163 is.

On the real thing it is really quite loud like that, though.
