Round 39: Crumpled Sliders

Image Image Image

Nominated by Lilac. Basically, a slider that has a linear setting and uses control points to squash them up together in order to create a sort of crumpled or squashed effect, which in essence, make a slider seem shorter than it is supposed to be. These can come in various forms.

Map(s) that use this technique
Frankmusik - 3 Little Words mapped by Jarby
ZUN - U.N. Owen Was Her? mapped by Xgor
Nelly ft. Fergie - Party People mapped by YGOkid8

Well they're usually distinguishable. But when they're not, they're bad.

Well, I kinda liked it (:

I've seen this technique brilliantly to make the slider fit the song, such as in tsuka's map Hate vs Brilliance - Quark or MoonFragrance's map Makou - Fermion, very beautiful to see xD

I only really like these when they're used to complement the rhythm. The example from 3 Little Words is what I mean. Just as a random effect, I think it's pretty bad.
Always leave headroom before bouncing.
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.

I really like these when they are used as hold sliders. Way more recognizable than simple slider speed changes~

I like these when they're used to make "graphic" a special sound.

Can be used well, but I usually wouldn't use them myself and they're often either used out of place or the crumples aren't obvious enough (the crumples aren't as easy to see with MMsliders)
All lines in my mod posts are just suggestions if and only if you can give me a good reason why you didn't apply it. "No" is not a good reason.

Only if used well, it will look and play nice.





But this rarely never happens, so voted a 2.

This is my main problem with them. Plus, it annoys me when they don't fit that point in the song at all, which they usually do not. Otherwise, cool.
It's showtime!

They are still pretty easy to notice imo, the slider border looks way too different to not to notice

Not that they're any clearer with peppysliders. And it doesn't really matter what the slider does in the crumpled bit.
Gameplay, cosmetic, remark, badly applied mods, ranking guidelines.

They can be awesome if used right, as they allow changing slider speeds in an easily visible way, even in the middle of a slider.
Check out the end of this map :D
