I don't recommend to use DAC channel for tuned sounds, as sample playing speed is not guaranteed and not stable. You will have problems with it.

Many thanks for the response, I think I will use the DAC only for things like drums.

i'm having this problem with the PSG channels.
i'm working with PSG channels 1, 2 and 4. when i start writing in the third PSG channel, the noise channel gets stuck in a low octave. it becomes impossible to use it for hi hats, everything sounds like a snare.
it isn't just the tracker, because it happens on vgm export. and it won't change back unless i quit and reopen.

PSG channels aren't equal. There are three tone channels (PSG 1-3), and one noise channel (PSG 4). There are few noise channel modes, some of them also use PSG 3:
Normal white noise mode only allows to use three pitches of the noise - low (note C), middle (note C#), high (note D). In this mode noise channel does not interact with PSG 3.
With note D# on PSG 4 you enable fine pitch control for white noise. In this case pitch of the noise is defined by a note on PSG 3, and both channels sounds at once (tone from PSG 3 and noise from PSG 4). If you want to mute the tone completely, use a PSG instrument with TL=127 on PSG 3.

okay, so it basically goes to SMS/GG mode once all four are being used. weird!

No, it not goes to SMS/GG mode. PSG works the same regardless of a system.

There is no MIDI import. You can 'convert' it by hand, or try to convert MIDI>MOD>VGM MM, but the result will be bad, and will require manual edit anyway (you have to load or create instruments at least).

Can someone give me some insight on this? I'm trying to create a song with a steady tempo of 132 (or something close), and setting the speed values to 10 / 4 will give me that tempo, however it will play the first row "slow" and the second row "fast". I know why it does that, I just want to know how to keep the same tempo, but not have the "swing" feel to the song. Doing a bunch of complicated note delays doesn't seem like the right idea.

It is simply not possible to have arbitrary tempo, because update resolution is fixed and low (1/50s).

setting the speed values to 10 and 4 means that the first note gets ten ticks and the second note gets 4 ticks. thus, the first row last longer than the second row. if you want it to play at a steady tempo then you have to set the speed values to be equal.

you could also make the second speed 1 or 2 and skip every other line when you're writing.

so 7/ 7?

Is there some way to change the update rate to something else, as in 60hz instead of 50hz? That's probably why I can't find the right tempo.

No.
Edit: Yes.
