So I made this song but I feel like it is missing something. I don't want an expansion chip or samples, I would just like someone to help add to my song. Thanks!

Welp, I'm still new to FT as a whole, but I have some prior knowledge in music, so there's that out of the way :p

What I think you need to do is add more percussion; I love the beat you currently have, but in reality you're only hitting the snare and cymbal in a fixed pattern throughout (with the exception of three occurrences: two in the middle and at the very end before the loop). Try to mix up the rhythm a bit; add some bass drum effects (to the best of FT's ability) either by making one or getting DCPM files, make some funky off-beat phrases here and there that compliment the tempo and speed of the song.

TL;DR Add some more rhythmic variations.

Thanks for the suggestion! I updated the percussion a little bit to have some variety. I left the beginning the same though, but it sounds fine.

This is a huge improvement! I especially love the bass drum and crashes you added :D Remember to keep variety as key in future pieces you want to create and you'll rise quickly :p
