That's not a sine, it's a triangle wave. And that particular one is a 4bit triangle wave (standard NES type triangle)

The thing about triangle waves though is that they neither have the harsh punch of a square, or the deep rumble of a sine, so they tend to be softer and die easily in the mix. Your solution for that is too keep the surrounding instruments fairly low volume and your tri wave should pierce the mix just fine. Or you can overamp it, but you'll lose some of the character of the sound.. the more you clip, the closer to a square you get.

They look for hot google searches and use those words.

Beyonce in the news this week? There's something about her in the spam.

I'm assuming the spiders are because daddy long legs are common all around the world and a lot of people might be googling how to get rid of them around the house?

Dunno man... I don't ask questions, I just sit here fascinated that spam is still a thing.

1) BECAUSE IF ITS NOT THE LOUDEST THING EVER RELEASED IT'S SIMPLY NOT WORTH RELEASING. But really though, the problem isn't the volume, it's the compression. Mastering at -1 or 0db is fine as long as you don't squash the file so EVERYTHING hits at 0db. Take a listen at Jredd & Groovemaster's latest album (although a bandcamp stream really isn't going to be all that amazing...you should definitely buy it! plug plug) for which I did the mastering. It's mastered at 0db, but with gentle compression so only the loud peaks hit 0db. The dynamics are still there, the songs breathe in and out instead of just spitting all their instruments at you.

2) Small delays like that will introduce phasing/flanging. Sometimes people double their instruments to gain volume past what a single instrument can do. It *can* be a solution sometimes when you're composing with the tracker as an instrument (ie, using the sound mixing engine's artifacts to create textures that cannot be done when keeping volumes in check) but in 99% of all cases it's a dumb-as-fuck solution to a problem that is much MUCH better addressed by lowering the volume of everything else around it.

Why do you feel like a dumbass? They're both excellent tools and very different in their approach to digital audio.

Aye it was alright. But we were shooting for something less pixel-y, and less videogame-y. Considering the growing catalogue that is getting increasingly more varied, the connection with pixel/vg was less and less relevant. We also wanted something that scales well at any size... on the off chance we might someday sponsor a football team and have our banner on the field...or something.
