Right now the overlay is covering the hitcircle numbers up. Either use the overlay as the hitcircle or change all the numbers to a 1x1 transparent pixel.

Aw, I was slightly disappointed that this Free Bird wasn't a Lynyrd Skynyrd cover. On the other hand, this is a thousand times easier to time.

1:03:20 (63548ms) - around this point the SB cuts off abruptly - extend the fade time so it doesn't just "jump" to black. It does so for all three difficulties, though [Normal] appears to be the most correctly executed of the lot.

Also, your images are much larger than necessary, by the looks of it. You should be able to get away with scaling them down (1:1) to 600px height-wise, and tweaking the in-game scaling to match it.

I also see an entry for a "sbfiles\starsomethingorother" - delete any unnecessary lines in the SB, including deprecated/replaced lines.

T'is rather pretty, though~

1. Combo colors aren't the same, is this intended?

1. My only complaint is that this difficulty isn't hard at all. ;p

Updated for 2013 with prettier patterns and hitsounds.

Also 0,5 tick and 0% volume is soooo 2010 and is un-ranked nowdays.

I'd say tick rate 3 would work the best with this song.

1. 00:12:125 (3) - Not symmetrical with 00:08:375(1)
2. 00:15:562 (1) - Bad distance snapping.
3. 00:28:687 (2,3,4,1) - The alignment isn't really good.
4. 00:39:300 (1) - Maybe you should have started on the top left hand corner for a better flow (since the movement of the mouse will go in that direction because of the previous slider).
5. 00:57:750 (5) - If i understand the pattern: 2 is down 1. 3 is a little up 2. 4 is down 3. So 5 shouldn't have been a little up 4?
6. 01:23:062 (1) - Move it one grid down for the symmetry with 01:21:187 (3).
7. 01:56:031 - Maybe a break here.
8. 02:11:812 (4) - Move it one grid down for the symmetry with 02:09:937 (2).

• I find the circle size maybe too small for a normal. But since it's an old map i guess it makes more sense.

1. 00:02:437 (1) - The distance snapping isn't good.
2. 00:04:312 (1,2) - Why not something like this in order to keep the symmetry of the start of the map:
   
   
3. 00:46:477 (4) - Move it one grid down. Prettier like this.
4. 00:48:687 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4) - I don't know what you wanted to do because it's nearly straight but not totaly straight. If you wanted something straight move them like this:
   
   
5. 01:10:875 (3) - This slider isn't really good looking. I think you could change it a little (and maybe smoothing the turnings).
6. 01:24:937 (1,2) - Not symmetrical.
7. 02:05:250 (1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1) - Not sure about the FC but it's the first time i see that (and i've played a lot of map).

1. 00:21:187 (1,2) - Why break the symmetry with these two?
2. 00:43:062 (2,3) - Ctrl+g? For a better flow?
3. 00:55:250 (5) - Ugly overlapping.
4. 00:57:437 (5) - Not aligned with 2 and 3.
5. 00:58:687 (2,3) - Not symmetrical.
6. 01:40:250 (1,1,2,3,4,5) - Wouah! The jump is.... not bad in itself bu very surprising since you havn't any in the first 1:40 of the map and suddenly BAM a jump (and not a short one, far from it.....)
7. 02:05:250 (1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2) - If you do Ctrl+h+j on the 1 you'll see that it's not symmetrical.

7. 01:56:031 - Maybe a break here.It would feel and break conistency with the other diffs if there was a break there. And with the low HP drain it dosn't really matter much if it's a break or not.

1. Perhaps disable the countdown?

Good song

1. 00:33:375 (4) - make the shape look like this o.o http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/693621
2. 00:34:312 (1,4) - this rhythm is similar to the previous pattern, i suggest the same 4notes here http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/693624
3. 00:36:187 (1) - this one is different; how about this (1) as a slider
4. 00:53:843 - add note..
5. 01:12:750 (1) - spacing should be larger, 1.2x http://osu.ppy.sh/ss/693632
6. 01:14:937 (1,2,3) - i think the music is not strong enough here, this can be a slider
7. 01:41:187 (3) - remove whistle; too much

1. 00:01:187 (3,3) - remove whistle on slider head
2. 00:57:750 (1) - drum finish at beginning like before
3. 01:20:250 (4,4,4) - add whistle and volume change o.o
4. 01:33:375 (2) - add whistle here..
5. 01:41:187 (3) - remove whistle
6. ..you can use more sliders, this is too much circle usage now

1. set 80% section to 60% vol
2. yeah, that's all, good map! wwwww

1. Is Widescreen Support should be enabled? I don't think so.
2. Even for a relaxing song 2000ms lead in is enough. Don't make players wait for too long.
3. Credit the person who made this awesome storyboard for you, put his username to tags!

1. I'd increase AR by one tick to improve AR/SV balance!
2. 01:06:500 (2,3) - nazi - it looks cute but newbies may mistakenly hit (3)'s tail. Just because it is so close to previous object.
3. 01:17:750 (4,1) - nazi - is this spacing mistake intentional? I think it's should be fixed. It's minor, but...
4. 01:54:000 (5) - how about adding a reverse-arrow to this slider? It'll help you to keep rhythm consistent and emphasize beat on 01:57:750. beat is too quite for a circle, but it's too loud to be ignored.
   Note: don't forget to fix spacing
5. 02:05:250 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,1) - clicking more than 10 circles with perfect timing is pretty hard even for advanced players. Try to add some sliders here. It may hurt rhythm a bit, but it will make diff much more playable!

1. This song should be relaxing, so reduce HP Drain by one tick! If you do it, players will be able to relax and don't worry about their HP-Bars!
2. You use plenty of 1/2 beats, increasing AR by one or two ticks would help us to read your patterns! Also, it will fit with your SV a little bit better!
3. 00:12:125 (1,1) - tbh thisoverlap doesn't look good even for an old map. What if we'll try to make blanket from 00:12:125 (1) ? looks cute, huh?
   
   Diff uses almost the same rhythm as [Hard]! Try to replace some circles with sliders or ignore some quite/minor beats to make diff a bit easier!
   Feel free to poke me again, if you agree and need some help with removing some hitobjects.

1. It's a hard diff, try to increase AR by one tick! I think it will make patterns a bit neater, too!
   
   Honestly, I can't find any problems here. Yes, there're a lot of circles but they fit with music and you want to keep it this way. I have nothing else to say about this diff, good job!

Maybe because of the oldschool mapping style, I'm having trouble getting this bubbled. Maybe I should just delete the song, and remap it new-style.

1. The timing is definitely not correct. You can clearly hear beats like 00:02:422 (1,2,3) or 00:06:172 (1,2) are way off. I think this song has a more complicated timing that you might think. We need to ask a few people for opinions on it.
   
2. I can't find anywhere that you're using the hitsound files "soft-hitnormal2" and "normal-hitclap2." If you aren't using those files, please remove them from the song folder.

1. All of the inherited timing sections are unsnapped by quite a bit. I suggest that you snap then all properly.
   
2. Imo the 50% volume sections sound too loud. I think if you reduced them to 40% or so it would sound nicer.
   
3. Try using AR-5 here since you use 4 in the normal diff. I think it makes the diff play a bit better.
   
4. 00:10:235 (1) - I'd like more to see this slider as a reflection of the 00:08:360 (1) and placed blanketing the 00:09:297 (2) in the same way.
   
   Example

   
   If you change, make sure to also adjust the 00:11:172 (2) to maintain that nice blanket.
   
5. 00:20:235 (4,1,2) - Imo it would be much more interesting to play if you unstacked all of these. It's a long time to keep the cursor on one spot.
   
6. 00:44:922 (1,2,3,4,5) - Watch your spacing here. Try not to fluctuate from 1.2 too much. You can rotate the 00:43:985 (5) a bit to maintain the blanket with the 2 after you fix the spacing. Also try placing the 00:45:547 (3) more upwards and using a rounded flow through the 3-5 to move to the right:
   
   Example

   Fix spacing on 2:
   
   Try a more rounded flow with the 3-5:
   
7. 00:46:485 (1,2,3,4,5) - If you change the above, it would be nice to change flow direction here on the NC to represent the change in music. Try it out like this:
   
   Example

   
8. 00:57:735 (1,2,3) - Try placing them in a consistently spaced pattern, consider a triangle.
   
9. 01:04:922 (1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2) - It seems much more fitting with the music here if you NC after each volume change. Try this combo setup:
   
   Example

   
10. 01:14:297 (2,3,4,1,2,3,1,2) - Same thing here, try this combo setup instead:
    
    Example

    
11. 01:18:047 (4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5) - And similar point, I suggest this combo setup:
    
    Image

    
    NC at 01:19:297 is great because the music changes verse there.
12. 01:44:297 (1,2,3,1,2) - I would work on the placements here a bit to make them less linear. Try making a triangle with the previous pattern. Here's an example:
    
    Example

    
    
13. 02:16:485 - How about reducing volume a bit more here. The whistles are kinda loud since the music is fading.

1. 00:30:547 (2) - Try drum finish on the end instead of the soft whistle for that loud bass hit in the music.
   
2. You can place more drum finishes if you'd like. Examples:
   00:38:985 (3)
   00:40:860 (4)
   00:42:735 (1)
   00:46:485 (1)
   00:50:235 (1)

1. Again please snap all of the inherited timing points properly to a tick.
   
2. Same as Hard, I would reduce the 50% volume sections to 40%.
   
3. You could try adding some volume changes like you do in the Hard diff. o.o
   
4. 00:12:110 (1,1) - It would be nice to avoid the overlap with the tail of the slider like that. Try moving the 00:13:360 (1,2,3) more to the right and place it blanketing the slider instead:
   
   Example

   
5. 00:42:735 to 00:57:735 - I think there is too much constant 1/3 in this section. I'd like it if you could delete some notes or add more sliders to make it easier. Right now it's practically the same difficulty as the Hard diff.
   
6. 01:53:985 (1) - This spinner feels too short imo because the flute is still holding after it ends. I think it might be nicer if you extend the spinner to 01:57:735 where the flute hold officially stops. Try it and see what you think.

1. Same as other diffs, be sure to snap all of the timing sections.
   
2. I think the map would benefit from reducing the overall volume of the hitsounds by 10% or so.
   
3. 00:36:172 (6) - Is it just me or is the sliderslide playing for this slider when it shouldn't be? Maybe you need to remake it.
   
4. 00:51:172 (5) - ^
   
5. 01:38:047 (4) - No need for both clap and whistle imo it's too much noise. Remove the clap please.
   
6. 01:45:547 (4) - ^
   
7. 02:07:110 (3) - The normal sample set hit is far too loud here, I highly suggest that you change back to auto.
   
8. 02:10:860 (3) - ^
   
9. 02:14:610 (3) - ^
   
10. 02:19:107 (1) - I'd either silence the spinner completely like Teara has done in her diffs, or add more of a gradual volume decrease to match the music.
