Thanks for the feedback, SketchMan3 - a lot of nice things to hear.  I enjoy music the most when it's arranged in a way that a live band could actually perform so I try to arrange my songs that way.  Glad to hear that structure comes across in the final tracks.

Saw your unedited post as I was leaving work yesterday - ha.  Definitely working on improving the checkout system of the website.  Had to fashion a wonky workaround to give people the choice of free or paid downloads because my service provider doesn't offer a name-your-price option.  It's a work in progress.

Thanks for the feedback garvalf and PleaseLoseBattle.

Glad to hear the melodies come across strongly.  A lack of a melodic structure has been a common critique for me in the past (with my music in general) - good to hear that things are improving in that regard.

As far as making it, I use Famitracker.  All the tracks for this album use the 2A03 Chip setting - I like the limitation of just five waves (i.e., two Square, one Triangle, one Noise, one DPCM).  I recorded the drum samples on a friend's kit, downgraded the quality, and imported them to Famitracker.  I usually do my mixing in Famitracker as well but for these tracks I ended up bouncing each wave separately and adjusting their overall volumes in Pro Tools because I was having trouble getting the drum samples to be audible over the other waves.

Thanks again for the feedback.

Thanks.

thanks for the feedback, Calavera.  i'm not sure if you listened to multiple tracks, but since you mention my composition style, i was wondering if you found any melodies particular bland or if they were able to keep your interest throughout the entirety of the songs.  for example, did you notice any patterns or habits that kind of hindered the songs?

thanks again.
