Round 51: Double Spinners
Nominated by Lilac. A technique where you use two spinners in a row, usually to make a hitsound for the next spinner without the use of a circle or Pre-Spinner Note. There are ranked maps which use 3 in a row but are less common. The common usage of this technique is either before a break or near the end of a song. Map(s) that use this technique Dragonforce - Fury Of The Storm mapped by Lesjuh Pendulum - Watercolour mapped by Larto Alex C. feat. Yasmin K. - Angel of Darkness (Nightcore Mix) mapped by Lilac ~Mapping Technique Nominations~ Last edited by NoHitter on , edited 1 time in total.

I'd think it depends on the song/beats mostly.
In most cases its not such a good idea, but in others its nice. |

These are pretty cool unless the second spinner is particularly short or otherwise unpredictable. In that case, I direct the nearest screwdriver to Larto's eye sockets.
Avoid close harmonies at lower registers. Check for mono compatibility thoroughly with wide mixes. Opt for volume automation instead of just compression. Detune that sawtooth. Putting effects on the master channel while mixing is basically all seven cardinal sins. |

This so fucking much. If anything like that occurs to get the player all flustered, then the mapper should at least have the courtesy not to follow it, one beat (OR EVEN A HALF OF A BEAT) later, with more festive patterns. It can be cool. I did use it in 'Footloose', before realising that I could just have spinners followed immediately by patterns. However, I often find that it's needlessly awkward and sliders could be used instead. Or even regular-ass patterns. D33d's #1 personal mapping rule: Use common sense. If something can not be justified with this, with the only reason being, "I'm being creative," then you are fabricating a bullshit-shaped house of cards on the San Andreas Fault.
I've been incredibly busy over the past couple of weeks and I'll still be busy this week. PM me for anything that's really important. |

I've actually used this technique only once, i think, but only because it fits, otherwise this technique really shouldn't be used imo, and there aren't many places where i can think of that two spinners fit quite well either, tho i can be proven incorrect. if the two spinners are going to be the same length as Lybydose said, you could probably do something more interesting. I also don't really like seeing 3 or more spinners, and i feel you probably could do somethign more interesting, but then again, it's probably cuz i suck at spinners.   |
