Treat this as a note throughout the whole set.
This is a collab set between me and t37m and I (-Starlight) where I mapped all the central cee parts and he (t37m) mapped the rest of the song (ice spice segments)
throughout the map theres a lot of instances where you map 1/3 (or something close to 1/3) vocals as 1/4 which is sometimes offputting since you primarily focus on vocals.
for example, here 00:18:235 (100,101,102), the only sounds are the 808s on white ticks and the vocals, which have a 3/8 + 2/8 rhythm (probably just from her singing off time lmao) that can be represented much more accurately as 1/3 than 1/4.
however, for instances like this 00:27:975 (172,173,174,175) (where there's a 1/4-rhythm 808) you could opt to keep these as 1/4, but there's also parts where you skip 808s like here 00:30:118.
either way, as annoying as it may be, I would suggest going through the song with hitsounds off and slower playback rate to make sure everything is snapped the way you meant for it to be. also make sure you are consistently including or omitting 808s that dont have other sounds over them, (00:30:118 , 00:28:268 , e.t.c) as either choice is fine but mixing the two adds inconsistency
This was a big problem me and star and default were going on about, the lyrics are 1/3 but the beat is 1/4, we either choose lyrics or beat. I wanted a way to include both while sounding good and not feeling like im playing ekoro. im gonna put oni diff into alchyrs and see if i can keep adjusting stuff, right now i have my intended idea on paper. il tweak a few things but i like how it is right now
ok update i redid ALOT of stuff, originally I represented her lyrics but also wanted to represent the beat, since her lyrics are 1/3, and the beat is 1/4, you literally cannot do that, I was trying to make it work and horribly failed.
old representation
"(1/4)If he cheatin im (1/3)doing him worse"
(1/4)kdkkd (1/3)kkdk
trying to represent 808 while also trying to go with her lyrics, when i map rap generally rappers stick with the beat on 1/4 and representing lyrics and the beat at the same times comes easy to me. though redoing this
new representation
"(1/3)If he cheatin im doing him worse"
(1/3)ddkkdkdk (and various other color combos)
though theres times when ice spice breaks 1/3 and burst 1/4 for 3 syllables
(1/4)"I dont care" (1/3) "cuz he did it first"
The lyrics part of the song is now strict 1/3 and broken when when the lyrics themselves represent 1/4 triplets which is only here and there and very consistent. Next In the instrumental beat outro i switch to 1/4 snapping and map from there. Im happy with the new results
