The percussion on the original song is really tricky and it has an oddball rhythm and some very rapid notes - it looks relatively hard to replicate to me.
I think you should focus on volume balance and maybe panning. The exact same song can be improved greatly just by mildly adjusting how loud each of its channels is. NES games also rely a lot on a generated reverb effect to get a full feeling without having too much going on at once.
I'm not sure. Were you going for Stage 5? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8-GLOAPe-s The percussio
This guy put a very noticeable reverb on this mix of Snake Man. With FamiTracker you probably won't have quite that same fullness but it'll definitely help, I think!
Not that - reverb is echo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dJ2qieCsTQ This guy put a very noticea
