Star map (Soleily Remix)

00:00:939 - the fade in sound starts here, so we should be starting the LN at this point

here is my suggestion, in order to create a full shield of the next triple

00:00:939 (939|2,1388|3) - Rising sounds are vague but this is really not synced right.

00:00:939 (939|2) - should be at 00:01:192 -
00:01:388 (1388|3) - is more debatable but the snap usage is a little awkward with how it flows and would feel more natural at 00:01:445

00:02:961 - I think it would be much more satisfying and better feeling with the song to continue the LN's like so:

and do the same with 00:05:658 - 00:08:355 - 00:11:051 - 00:13:748 - 00:16:445 -

and to be honest, I dont think 00:17:287 - is needed. we can hear a similar delay sound at the previous points like 00:11:894 - for example. I think its better to just remove 00:17:287 - . this will create space for the LN as well.

00:25:967 - missing note?

00:31:950 (31950|1,32119|1,32287|1) - I think we can avoid this stack, since it does not use a stack like this in any previous part.

I think the issues because this is a double 00:31:950 (31950|3,31950|1) -
when I think it should only be a single, I cant see any reason why it would be a double.
so simply just remove 00:31:950 (31950|1) - and it will be fixed.

00:35:574 (35574|2) - should be at 00:35:405 - (move to col 2)
00:38:270 (38270|1) - should be at 00:38:102 - (move to col 4)

00:45:012 - the higher pitch synth starts here so I think we can start some notes here
and I dont understand the concept of 1/8 snap for 00:45:265 (45265|0,45307|1,45349|3,45391|2,45433|1,45475|0,45518|2,45560|3) -
the sound is in 1/4 so it should be 1/4

This is what I would recommend

00:48:636, 00:49:984 -, 00:58:074 - the LN should be stacked at these timestamps

compare to your other uses of this for the quick vocal 00:47:287 (47287|2,47456|2) - , 00:49:478 (49478|0,49647|0) - etc

01:00:096 (60096|2,60265|2) - Correct me if im wrong but I only hear one vocal note, so this shouldn't be a 1/2 jack.

01:12:400 (72400|3,72400|0,72400|1,72484|2) - instead of triple to single, do double to double and make it entirely LNs to be consistent with snare LN expression

01:12:568 (72568|1,72568|0,72737|1,72737|3,72905|3,72905|0,72905|1) - Emphasis here is a bit random

Respectively, it should go triple - single - then triple again.

01:14:085 (74085|2,74085|3) - I want to know why this is suddenly a double LN for vocals?

what I see in the parts here are all using single LN if coupled with kick or snare, you will use LN+rice. maybe for me it's better to change one of the LNs to rice will be much more consistent IMO.

01:15:349 (75349|2,75518|0,75686|0) - Remove these to be consistent with hihat expression, add a note at 01:15:265 - in col 4 for triple consistency, move 01:15:433 (75433|3) to col 1

01:16:192 - should have triple here because just previously triple was attributed for snare at 01:15:602 -

add col 4:

01:18:973 (78973|1,78973|0,78973|3) - I see the intention though I think given that this is a transition to the drop, the releases should be a bit less tighter as it's not that prominent. How about 1/6 as a medium?

02:57:400 (177400|0,177400|2,177400|3) - Same

01:21:164 (81164|0,81206|1,81248|2,81501|2,81543|1,81585|0) - This applies to every instance of this pattern.

Since the synths are progressively weaker, This current expression doesn't reflect it that well as it treats them the same (it's also a little awkward to play with 01:21:669 (81669|2) - )

How about:
01:21:164 (81164|0,81206|1,81248|2) - decrease by 1/16
01:21:501 (81501|2,81543|1,81585|0) - make these 3/16 LNs (one line above 1/8)

I think this better reflects the progression. Again, applies to every similar instance from here (including ones that changed like 01:42:737 - and such)

01:22:933 - is there any reason the sound was ignored here? the sudden gap in stream is a bit weird in my opinion, better to make a constant flow.

01:26:220 (86220|0,86304|1,86388|0,86473|1,86557|0,86599|1) - Don't like how this plays as a transition, think it'd play a lot more nicer to just flip 01:26:557 (86557|0,86599|1,86641|2,86725|3,86810|0,86894|3,86894|2,86936|1,86978|0,87063|3,87063|2,87147|1) -

01:27:568, 01:28:074, 01:32:961, 01:35:405, 01:35:658, 01:35:995, 01:45:602, 01:59:928 - single

01:28:579 - and 01:50:152 - It will fit better with the finish sounds to have them as triple instead of double for a more consistent expression.

for 01:28:579 -

for 01:50:152 -

01:28:916 - do this

• You should apply this same pattern to 01:50:490 as they're the same sounds. Way too inconsistent to use entirely different patterns for this

01:29:254 (89254|1) - can be shortened like this to be more in line with the musical atmosphere in this part imo. subjective not too serious

01:31:276 (91276|3) - This would be a lot prettier if reduced to 1/4

01:32:119 (92119|0) - move to col 4
01:40:124 (100124|1) - remove, and extend 01:39:872 (99872|1) - to 01:40:209 -

01:42:905 (102905|3) - col 1 and 01:42:990 (102990|2) - to col 4

• same with 01:53:692 (113692|0,113776|1) -

01:48:299 (108299|0) - to col 4 and 01:48:383 (108383|1) - to col 1
01:48:383 (108383|1) - single and missing a 1/4 LN (put it on col 2)
01:49:647 (109647|3) - to col 3

01:34:647 - you can use a release like this if you want will fit better and look connected to each other, where the LNs in the first part of the second are together

especially 01:34:984 - no need for 1 extra note here

01:43:242 (103242|1,103242|2,103242|0) - Suddenly a triple despite only being mapped as doubles before - think you should stick to doubles here not only for consistency, but also because it plays nicer. With how you structure the LNs it's often pretty awkward to be hitting stuff like 01:43:116 (103116|2,103158|3,103242|2,103327|3,103411|2) - especially with the release gaps

01:44:422 (104422|1,104422|3) - These should switch imo, suddenly having this long LN anchor on col 4 feels a bit out of place especially since the vocal is not keeping the same pitch

01:45:770 (105770|1) - can be used the same as #4269260 here, where the vocals get thinner every 1/4 snap from 01:45:939 - here

so using the same thing is a good thing imo

01:49:310 (109310|3) - can be extended like this feels less optimal when I play with the previous pattern, where the vocals feel bland

01:51:164 - personally I think it would be better to add some variation instead of the constant split trill motion, since there are many different drum sounds being used, it makes sense to have the variation.

01:57:905 (117905|0,118074|3,118748|0) - What are these LNs following?

02:01:529 (121529|1) - remove and extend 02:01:360 (121360|1) - 1/4 longer. Make 02:01:445 (121445|3) - a 1/4 LN
02:01:613 (121613|3) - 1/4 shorter and 02:01:697 (121697|1) - 1/4 longer. More nicer visually
02:02:203 (122203|1) - remove, extend 02:02:119 (122119|2) - to the red 1/2 line, reduce 02:02:287 (122287|0) - down to 1/4 LN

02:01:613 - again I dont understand the weird snap, the sounds are all on 1/4, so we should be mapping 1/4 here as well.

(also, you only have single at 02:02:456 - which is just wrong, it should probably be triple.)

here is an option

02:01:613 (121613|2,121613|3,121697|0,121697|1,121866|2) - This feels unnatural to play. You miss an important 1/1 sound 02:01:782 - which is clearly part of this rhythm, yet it's interrupted and instead resumes in 1/4 at 02:01:866.

02:02:119 (122119|3,122119|0,122119|2,122287|3,122287|1,122287|0,122372|2) - Staggered releases are not inherently bad but they need a purpose to them. These are just snares, I don't see why they are used like this.

Same with 03:18:973 (198973|3,198973|0,199141|0,199141|3), 04:23:355 (263355|0,263355|1,263439|3,263439|2,263523|0,263523|1,263607|2,263692|0,263692|1) and 05:36:501 (336501|0,336501|3,336669|3,336669|0,336838|0,336838|3) -

02:04:057 (124057|3,124141|3) - Only minijack this section, music keeps consistent so this feels out of place. Just move 02:04:141 (124141|3) to col 1

02:23:270 - The LN usage here doesn't follow the background melody well, some LNs dont represent it and some are ignored. It should be something like this:

02:23:186 (143186|0,143523|1) - These should be LNs
02:23:270 (143270|3,143607|2) - These should be regular notes

02:24:113 - if you follow the melody from the beginning using mini LN 02:23:607 - it should end here 02:24:703 - you can adjust it to your style or maybe you can change it like this

02:25:040 - 02:44:085 -> I'd like for you to look at this whole section again and remove any 1/4 notes that aren't following the hihats and are just ghost notes. While I think it works in the kiais for progression, here it feels rather forced and gets in the way of the more important sounds, so I'd suggest removing any note that isn't following anything.

02:25:714 vs. 02:36:501 - these should be the same pattern

02:37:006 vs. 02:26:220

02:27:063 vs. 02:37:849

02:27:905 (147905|0,148242|1,148579|2) - Would be a lot more beneficial to shorten these to 1/2 LNs for cleaner gameplay and it makes more sense with the vocals. When you do this, move 02:28:495 (148495|3) - to col 2

Same with 02:30:602 (150602|2,150939|1,151276|0) and 02:38:692 (158692|2,159029|1,159366|2) -

02:29:085 - From here you suddenly switch the LN usage to represent snares as well, when you didn't do that before (02:26:388, 02:28:411, etc..) but then you sometimes don't do it, like 02:31:107.

Also shouldn't 02:28:916 - be a double LN for kick and vocal?

02:30:602 - From here it gets a bit too loaded on the left hand, not that fun to play. Would just recommend switching 02:31:023 (151023|1,151107|3,151192|1) and moving 02:31:360 (151360|3) - to col 3 to avoid long col 4 trill

02:36:838 (156838|2,156922|3,157006|0,157006|2,157091|1,157175|2,157175|0,157259|3) -
a bit too awkward patterning here and i dont really see why.

probably best to keep it as a pattern that is more in-line with the rest of the patterning

02:39:619 - Missing a 1/4 note here, you could just add it on col 4 and move 02:39:534 (159534|3) - to col 3

02:43:748 - Missing triple for crash - could just add it on col 4 and move 02:43:832 (163832|3) - to col 3

02:44:085 - Do this, more visually pleasing and nicer to play

• You should apply a similar pattern for 02:54:872 -

02:45:602 - 02:49:225 - What are the LNs even following? It's barely representing anything in a consistent manner.

02:46:782 (166782|0) - 1/6? Doesn't it just end here 02:47:203 - ?

02:46:950 - Why is the vocal suddenly ignored here

02:48:636 (168636|2,168636|1) - Should just be the LN only, you only use doubles for kicks this section so feels inconsistent to suddenly use it for filler

Similarly, 02:49:478 - this should be a double for kick only and 02:50:658 - for snare

03:13:832 (193832|0,193832|1), 03:56:136 (236136|0,236136|2), 04:08:523 - Same reason should just be a single

02:49:338 (169338|1) - Misnapped.

02:50:658 (170658|0,170827|2,170911|0) - Switch these around, would play better that way

02:51:248 (171248|2) - remove, no sound

02:51:501 (171501|1,171585|0,171669|3) - What's the point of the releases here? You don't do this with the vocals anywhere else.

02:59:422 - Missing triple

02:59:591 - As mentioned in another post, please apply the same structure you would for the same sounds later on like 03:04:984 - and so on.
