mp3 feels not so good, I suggest re-encode this mp3 to 128kbps for reducing file's size.
reduced one
I wanted to give you better quality mp3 file but I couldn't find, so sent re-encoded one.
Can I ask why you are insisting on 192? If there is no difference between 128 and 192 in terms of quality, then using 192 currently is just increasing the size of the file for no reason.
If you use Spek, you can see the current audio quality. 192kbps usually maxes out around 18kHz, and 128 maxes out at 16kHz. 192kbps usually maxes out around 18kHz, and 128 maxes out at 16kHz. This means that you have the exact same audio quality as 128 kbps.
I really don't recommend increasing the size meaninglessly when there's no difference in quality, or if you really want to use 192kbps, you should find a better quality audio yourself (or ask other mp3 encoders at least).
Murumoo gave me a better quality ogg file for me, so I think it should be fine if you use it. Thanks @murumoo
There are two reason for me to insist, but seems not that reasonable:
However I would leave this open now so that others would see and discuss.
the reason affirmation suggests different audio is cuz "u r using audio with a cutoff and kbps of audio that dont match the conditions"
fundamentally, the audio u rusing is wrong, which is why in a state of RC violation. would u be okay with a BN checking with another player being harmed by your stubbornness?

Based on these two reasons, the current MP3 is unsuitable for use.
Therefore you need to use the other mp3 suggested.

Change from .mp3 to .ogg
@DenYi I am not harming anyone. I had my reason to stay on old file since this original suggestion didn't convinced me. If it is an RC violation then it's better showing the line here like Murumoo did but not yelling the mapper is stubborn or attacking. If this could be called harming then idk if mapper have the right to keep or reject mods.
@Murumoo Yes got this oki would do. seems that my original vedio's audio was 128k in the beginning huh......
I think the current combo colours don't fit with the bg so i suggest this
combo 1: you can keep it is nice
combo 2: i like but it can change a bit to something like, 85 170 255
combo 3: some green like > 113 225 0
and combo 4 i prefer delete it because don't fit
I prefer to keep since from the beginning the combo color is not fit the BG, it is a metaphor of South Korea national flag.
But I will keep this open to listen others' idea if others insist

white combo color is luminosity = 215, which is pretty close to the recommended limit of 220. since the color is already kinda bright (its white), you can probably afford to decrease this to less than 200

I think you should remove that metadata. The Korean service has ended, and it is no longer possible to access that site.
ayt my general concern is density spread between salad and platter, they look pretty much similar, only a few notes different, more like platter is a salad with a few 1/4 notes here and there, and salad feels a bit too dense for having a lot of repetitive 1/2s
i would recommend to adjust salad density since i find some spot is a bit too dense and buff platter a little bit
i.e in salad
you could make 00:04:911 (1,2,1,2) - a 1/1 slider + circle for simpler rhythm
maybe removing 00:06:711 (2,4) - to make interesting buildup rhythm
also 00:43:311 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - this is way too much for salad imo, try remove 00:43:511 (2,5,8,2,5) - , you would get simpler rhythm w/o being too dense by following that kind of string instrument
platter
you can experiment with those long sliders
I remember looking pretty quickly at your platter and having issues with the rhythm choices too (despite not modding it)
without looking at it (to check myself) most likely what he's saying here is right, unfortunately, he didnt provide as much examples as he could or how it should be fixed despite mentioning something that affects certain diffs widely, nonetheless his point should be about right if I remember correctly
above all since the song itself goes on a few loops/repetition (like you did by mirroring patterns) making sure you maintain a similar rhythm and rhythm gaps same for these repetitions would be good 👍
Doing rythem changes in repetive music
TL;DR For Salad: Simplified as suggestion except I kept 00:44:711 (6) since I want a dash.
For Platter: Split 00:36:911 (1) and 00:40:111 (1).
Free to reopen if any more spesific rythem change ideas owo
00:07:711 (4,1) - imo platter has a good idea for this sound, stopping after mapping this sound plays great however you're using this only in platter, in salad you have to move a little bit, in both rain/odose you have to dash to a completely opposite side of the screen, i'd like to see you be consistent with this sound throughout the whole mapset as it's nice
yup I did have this feeling too owo
Cup - spinner so skip this
Salad - applied as suggestion
Platter - the example
Rain - applied as a part of #3637898/9864507
Overdose - The only diff I tend to keep since this is a intended design and as part of difficulty changes. Also another reason to keep this is all parts behind this are strong pattern connected (many of them are Ctrl+H or very similar, design as intended) and I don't want to Ctrl+H whole rest map for just this one.
cup/salad/platter utilise the same rhythm choice in the beginning which makes it indistinguishable whether you're playing a lower diff or a higher diff, i would suggest changing emphasis on cup/salad diffs (first 8 seconds)
I really REALLY REALLY can't change this much, since the first 8 seconds the most obivious sounds for lower diff are just 1/1 drums and 3/4 zithers. Those 3/4 zithers are much more obivous for me, too obivious to be ignored. I think it's not proper to introduce that twist changing flute (which is 1/8+3/16 stuff) in these three lower diffs.
Still I did some simple simplify on Cup diffs to make changes, and hoping the appearing of dashes in Platter is enough for emphasising difficulty changes.
Your Combo1 is too bright currently, RC says:
Avoid using combo colours with ~220 luminosity or higher if Kiai time is used. Light colours create bright pulses during Kiai time, which can be unpleasant to the eyes.
Combo1 has luminosity of 228, which is too much and it genuinely looks like you used pure white in that place. Same goes for Combo4, but instead it's too dark, in fact, you're on the edge of breaking RC, as Combo4 has luminosity of 50. I'd bump that up to 60 at least
Denied. Reason already mentioned in metadata notes.
Since the official metadata is given by the Music subsidiary of the Game develop company (NECORD music for Nexon) I think their metadata is reasonable enough to show that "카트라이더" is the official name of the game while "크레이지레이싱" is only a sub-title.
I will keep this source unless a BN says no.
NECORD is a subdivision of Nexon so getting metadata from their YouTube description doesn't mean that it is right. I looked up the official game tag that they have to submit for the korean government and the official name is 크레이지레이싱 카트라이더. 크레이지레이싱 is not a subtitle for the title. It is part of the actual game name.
Source 2: https://www.gcrb.or.kr/Mobile/MobileReasonInfo.aspx?app=pRypNiTVqaI=&type=xl/kTOU3dYU=
Seems much more reasonable that I couldn't deny. Applied.
Still personally I don't think 크레이지레이싱 should be part of name so BN check would be nice on this.
I don't understand the AR spread of this mapset, the gap between rain and top diff is huge (0.9) and the usage of lower ar throughout lower diffs concerns me. I suggest that you use the following ar spread: 6>7>8>9>9.4, as the current one doesn't make sense
Cup and Salad should be able to have a spinner added in the end. the sound dimming feels empty on those diffs

Remove "korea" tag! The word "korea" is already included in the title.
Thank you owo
Btw would you plz give some metadata & tag suggestion for me since I know nothing about korean owo
good map,good music, but I can only play the "salad" difficulty :(
