---------------
To celebrate the fact that I can actually submit stuff again, here's another piece of music that people may or may not have heard about. It's been sitting on my comp for a number of months, but yeah. Hopefully, there aren't too many issues with it.

Edit: Wow, it's been far too long since I've given the thread a look. Anyways, this time, I've updated the map with Larto's MP3 and his difficulty.
Edit 04/12/09: Updated with Larto's newer version.
Edit 05/08/09: BUMP! Just to keep it alive before I get to working on it again, I was distracted with finals.
Edit 05/11/09: Okay, I totally redid Free, so hopefully it's better now. Made a few edits to Locked, too.
Edit 06/01/09: Done with 0_o's suggestions, copied Larto's volume edits onto my versions.
Edit 08/04/09: Done with lazy break, hopefully I've fixed some of the hitsound issues and slider problems. Also posted Larto's latest updates.
Edit 08/11/09: Updated. And then updated again.
Edit 08/14/09: Again, updated. And updated again later.
Edit 08/15/09: Updated once again. And again.
Edit 08/16/09: Lowered the drain rate a tick in Locked.

Hard
00:45:71 (1) - too close to 2
01:20:20 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22) - lnog combo

Insane
01:20:20 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20) - long combo
01:28:46 (1) - too close to 20
02:19:95 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21) - long combo
03:01:74 (6) - too close to 7 move it a bit further away from 7
03:02:74 (9) - same

its an ok map i suppose

Thanks for the comment. I've tweaked the mentioned spots accordingly.

I didn't really mod this now buuut...
To be honest, the mp3 you use is so.. earrapy.
Take this one! It's the one I use for my headlock.

Of course, the Offset for this one differs from your earlier one. Use 17.518, that'll help.

Also: I suggest you call your difficulties "Free" and "Locked". Sounds awesome imho :3

Wait a moment... you know, having two maps of the same song ranked like, at once, would be dumb, right?...
Mind adding my difficulty? I'll also make an Easy difficulty which this map really needs. <3

SUMUNE MOD THIS

☆
Larto's Free:

1. 01:36:01 (3) - align with 01:35:01 (1)
2. 02:01:01 (1,2,3) - rofl, what the fuck? Make this straight.

Larto's Locked:

1. More hitsounds please, like your Free difficulty.
2. 00:26:01 (2) - align with 00:25:51 (1)

Bleh, I can't finish this modding right now.
Sorry, I'll come back later.

Don't let it dieeeeeeeeeeeeee ;_;

Sorry, I was distracted with finals. Back to working on it now!

Okay, I've totally resnapped Free to something different, so let me know if it's any better now.

Free
Take out the countdown, it really doesnt fit
Lower hitsounds at the quiet parts, it's pretty jarring the way it is now
01:02:76 (4,5,6,7,8) - Plays awkwardly

Locked
Same advice with countdown & hitsounds
00:32:51 (6,7,8) - Meh, this pattern feels weird
01:03:01 (6,7) - Again, doesn't play well when you've beat following the beat the whole time..
02:45:26 (1,2) - Minor cosmetics, looks kind of ugly underneather the slider.

Larto's Locked
02:19:01 (1) - This spinner gets 1000 on auto, maybe just add 2 more silent hitcircles instead?

I'm running out of creative ways to say here's a star

Aaaand done. Think I've gotten most of those suggestions made correctly.

Larto's Free
Normal, right? Increase Overall Difficulty.

00:29:51 (1,1) - No. One or the other.
01:02:51 (4,1) - Too close.

That's about it.

Larto's Locked
No real issues except the spinners, and you know how I feel about those.

01:15:76 (7,9) - Align please.
01:24:76 (9,10) - Make a slider like 01:21:76 (3) maybe?
01:28:51 (5,6) - Notes are touching the slider. Gay. Move them over and either align them with (1,2) or in between (1,2) and (2,3).
01:36:76 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - Autostacking kills these. Reduce the leniency?
02:01:01 (x) - Slightly too loud.
02:17:01 (1,1,1) - Look at the timeline. Ugly.
02:21:01 (1) - Finish?
02:51:76 (4) - Pro.
03:06:76 (1,1) - Would be fine merged.

Locked
Your notes are generally constricted to the middle area of the screen horizontally. This makes the map kinda boring because there's only chance for vertical jumps and you don't use them.
For example, you could have the first combo in the song play on the left then the next play on the right.
Also, I generally disagree with you on your combo choices. The comments I've made here are for consistency and not personal style reasons.

00:32:51 (6,7,8) - Kinda confusing because it half-covers (3). Fully cover it with a single hit circle please.
00:33:26 (1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3) - Very creative. =] However, I believe the ends of the sliders should align.
00:39:01 (4) - New combo.
00:44:26 (4) - New combo.
01:13:26 (1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3) - Prime candidates for jumps.
01:17:01 (4) - New combo?
01:21:26 (1,2,3) - Curve like the next three combos.
01:25:01 (4) - New combo?
01:31:26 (5,6,7,8,9,10) - Align (5,6,7) with (4).
01:35:51 (2) - Make strait. It also doesn't look aligned to (1).
01:59:26 (7,8,9) - Move so (9) is under (4)?
02:11:26 (1) - Remove new combo.
02:32:26 (9) - This confused me when playing. I hate gay repeating sliders like this.
02:39:26 (8) - Move the left node right two then move the middle node up ever so slightly so the slider is timed properly.
02:41:01 (12) - New combo?
02:52:26 (3) - End with Finish.
02:59:01 (11) - New combo.

[Larto free]
lower your hitvolume (in all sections)
double your tick rate
03:06:76 (1,2) - kill the whistles


[Free]
00:20:26 (4,5) - finish is too loud
00:35:26 (1,2,3,1,2) - too much finish
rework your hitsounds, theyre disrupting the map rather than augmenting it
lower hitvolume in the loud sections


[Larto Locked]
lower hitvolume
also...kiai all diffs in the loud sections



[Locked]
00:35:26 (1,2,3,1,2) - that finish thing again...its disruptive
01:17:01 (4) - end on white
01:25:01 (4) - ^
01:29:76 (2) - end on red
just recheck your sliders plz...it looks like you changed velocity after mapping and forgot to recalc lengths
