On the other hand, I think the reason why you experience that "staircase" feeling is because you are using 12 as speed. I use 6 which makes the volume set more smooth. But if it suits you, by all means use the method you prefer.
Haha, yeah, I know, it's definitely easier to spot that staircase effect on my low tempo, speed 12 frames per row stuff. I don't know why I took a shine to 12 frames per row really... I guess it's because with six frames I would always be spacing out things in pairs anyway. With 12 frames per row I can see more on the screen I suppose. I can get 6 frame intervals using note delays and retriggers anyway. Maybe it's silly, haha, I don't know. It works for me.
Good tutorial, in any case.
#1 - Looping and using the same theme <-- I still do that, and I don't care
#2 - TOO LOUD, TOO QUICK!! <-- haha that, I have never done. Too soft, too slow? That would be me.
#3 - No depth, no panning, no nothing. <-- sometimes I'm still to lazy to add panning... usually I throw in some though.
#4 - Out of beat <-- doesn't happen at speed 12! Every row is on either a strong beat or on one of the weak beats! hahahaha woooo I rule! ^^
#5 - Finishing the song abruptly <-- haha that's what happens when I run out of ideas
Also, you could add here: don't use a fadeout! I know I do it often enough, but I really shouldn't. It's a crappy and lazy way to end a song.#6 - Forgetting to add contact info <-- too much vanity to do that
#7 - Spelling your mail-adress wrong <-- too much vanity to do that
#8 - Cutting a note by using another note when you should not <-- pretty sure I avoided that in even my first mods. Not sure though.
#9 - Using relative values <-- discussed that already
#10 - Ripping <-- psh.
