The quotation marks mean it's sarcastic.

I know it's supposed to be sarcastic, but I don't understand how sarcasm increases relevance to the module.

Do you plan to take my advice into consideration at all?

I'd have to agree with others; don't post everything you make here, only the really good stuff you're proud of. All of your threads are starting to bog up the forums, and not much are worth listening to. :/

Try not using sharp notes for now.

Here's a little cover I made of a Taylor Swift song.

Feel free to drop off any constructive criticism if you'd like.

Enjoy!

I bet with a bit of work you could turn this into something decent, MiniMacro, but as it stands now there really isn't much to say about it.

One major thing I notice is you have no repeated pattern IDs. At all. So I ran a Clean Up -> Merge Duplicate Patterns.

Then, here's what I notice:
- There's no variation in your Noise track, it's all one pattern over and over. Okay, I kinda missed that your percussion is split between Noise and DPCM, but still. A common theme in many percussion tracks is that the note you'll hit most often is the hihat (which is usually done via notes A thru F on the Noise channel), and every other beat (rows 04, 0C, 14, 1C, etc.) strike the snare drum (note range 6 thru 9). The snare provides a metronome effect that helps synchronize the rest of the song. You've already got something of this going with the DPCM, but IMHO there should be a Noise snare tossed in just for good measure.
- Frames 02-03 of your DPCM actually sound kinda good, but I have no idea what's going on in frames 04-05 and that is not good.
- Pulse 1 is commonly considered the 'melody' channel, but here you're using Pulse 2 for that. I have no idea what's going on here, there's no repetition to identify any kind of pattern or structure by.
- Pulse 2 is commonly used for harmony or accompaniment, but you seem to be using it for ... bassline? That's the vibe I get. If you're not going to use volume curves or duty cycles, consider tossing that part onto Triangle so you can free up the more-versatile pulse channel for a more involved role. On the other hand, if you do that then you'll probably need to go not so DPCM heavy in the percussion, because that causes Triangle to sound muted.

Here's a minor edited version, mostly on the Noise channel:
