00:37:183 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,1) - why is this spacing inconsistent? the piano is playing consistent 1/4 notes??
Ok so simply put this, not its not. Both hand of the piano are being played here, the constant 1/4 notes on the left hand/low notes and the 1/2 notes played on the right hand with higher pitch and the higher spacing emphasize those higher pitched sound on those notes 00:37:353 (3,5,7,1) -
00:43:293 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - since you seen to go downwards as the intensity lowers, maybe ctrl+j this pattern to follow that
01:08:208 (10) - 01:09:734 (5,6) - I think same rhythm as this one would be better (ctrl+g)
01:10:242 (7,8,9) - okay maybe I'm deaf since I hear no sound on (8) and if you want to follow that background music thing it would be a bad idea since it's pretty quiet and will get overheard by the louder instrumentals so deleting (8) would be good
01:11:683 (19,1) - Since it is a quiet part here, it is better to avoid this distance with 4/1 rhythm
01:14:395 (10,1) - just like here
01:27:946 (18,1) - random spacing jump? the vocals don't intensify by so much as to justify this?
Thats the section reset which is emphasized with the spacing. Not only that but with the piano stream here which is emphasize with already larger spacing and harsher movement of that stream, the increase in spacing to emphasize the vocal + the section reset, I think that jump make perfect sense
01:43:971 (33,1) - swap NC
01:46:683 (1,3) - Just like you are placing NC according to lyrics here
01:44:980 (9,10,11,12,13) - again we have a drum fill with a pattern that is noticeably different than the other drum fills but the drum fill here sounds the same. So why is it not like the others
01:47:692 (7,8,9,10,11) - same here
The section is different and I wanted to emphasize the vocal like.. everywhere else while also building tension in this build up part. The lower spacing on the the drum help with that while the more spaced ones are on the vocals 01:45:149 (11,13) - 01:47:861 (9,11) -
I could make them something like this https://puu.sh/Cc4Af/d132e8711b.png but I just think it would be less fitting and make the whole build up idea of that section feel less relevant. Its also a super different section of the song so im not sure why it would have to be the same kind of stream has every other stream in the map
01:45:666 (15) - very optional but I would add a nc for the SV change here so it can be better predicted by players playing it the first time
01:47:361 (5) - this needs a 5% greenline since there is no real sound on the sliderend of the 1/4 slider it would also emphasize (6) a bit better imo
01:51:929 (8,9,1) - is such a direction change really appropriate for what is still building up vocals?
01:53:454 (8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19) - why suddenly change direction at 16?? there's not even an important vocal note here
01:53:462 (8,9,10,11) - It is better to start the stream from where the vocal emphasis rather than starting from here
I think it is good to put two 1/4 sliders here
01:54:818 (21,24) - I would ctrl+g this since the drumroll on (21) isn't really stronger so it doesn't need that much emphasis
02:13:801 (15,16) - It is better to leave a little distance here to keep distance
02:19:225 (16,17) - just like here
Sliders! Emphasizing how violin picks up here. Generally used circles when the vocals cover up the violin sounds and sliders when the violin get stronger
Actually should prolly change those 02:19:556 (1,2,3,4) - to slider to be consistant tho
02:15:327 (8,9,10) - 02:15:666 (11,12,13) - Since they are connected by a 1/4 rhythm, they will be confused if they do not look the same
I believe the current 1/4 jumps here emphasize the violin sound here really nicely having a small jump to the stronger sound here 02:15:496 (10) - and then another one to go into that violin double 02:15:750 (12,13) - although I fixed to make them more consistant with 02:20:750 (8,9,10,11,12,13) -
02:15:658 (11,12,13) - this pattern defies all the other two notes into slider pattern by having 11 and 12 far away instead of 12 and 13. just why
02:33:801 (3,4,5) - this pattern is never used again, it kinda feels a bit out of place since it sticks out a lot for reading. I also hear a sound on 02:33:886 - . Should just map as a normal burst like in the second chours
02:34:132 (6) - the slider looks off. Maybe replace it with a normal slider, since there isn't any sound that sticks out?
02:37:022 (21,22,23,24,25) - These movements can not react very much
02:37:191 (23) - Since there is a change in sound from here, I think that it will still work but the flow is very bad
02:37:022 (21,22) - If you make these 1/4 sliders, it will work out very well
02:39:302 (6,7,8,9) - very abrupt direction change without change in vocals or important sound
First ''bad for reading'' how is it bad for reading would prolly make more sense not too sure what you mean, the same pattern happens just a few sec before. Also, its not like that kind of spacing didnt happen multiple times before and after in the map so.. dont really see how thats so much randomly harder to read than everything else?
02:53:370 (2) - Strong drum bigger spacing 02:53:454 (3) - Vocal bigger spacing 02:53:539 (4) - Weak drum smaller spacing 02:53:624 (5) - Voca back to bigger spacing. Still a pentagon just squashed cuz of the way I wanted it to be emphasized. Other pentagon one also have the piano sound supporting them being equal in hailie's part
02:53:963 (7,8,9,10,11,12) - now we have square pattern with no consistency with other patterns?
I love how, I make a looping stream with some sort of visual cohesion and people tell me its bad x) The intention wasnt to necessarly have a square but its cohesive the the general ''geometry'' stream thing that happen in hailie's kiai part and it gives the looping motion that I wanted to create here. If the fact that its a square tilt you I can make it a loop with no square I really dont mind but I think it makes more sense as it is
The idea was that from 9 start moving downward in its ''loop'' motion to hit the strong vocals on at the bottom of the loop. It could have just not been geometrical to reach that purpose or it could have been a triangle, I just opted for a square here because it felt the most natural to reach the loop motion I wanted.
Honestly not sure why you're asking me why a square. I believe most jump maps dont need to explain why a star or why an hexagon when they make patterns even when the pattern doesnt reach the full hexagon or star that question just seems really random and I dont see why I have to justify myself doing that so much
02:54:471 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17) - should prob have an nc any time the vocalist swaps
the general spacing is a decrease as the song is calming down to enter the calm section while I emphasize this sound 02:58:200 (7) - cuz vocal+piano here with the largest spacing and piano sound here 02:58:370 (9) - smaller but still bigger. I guess I could nerf it a little if required but generally yeah spacing make sense
03:26:683 (27,28,1) - since this is only a slow part the spacing here is way too dense so reducing the spacing from (28) to (1) would fix it
On that section I overlapped the repeating vocal syllable so 5 ko 6 ko 7 ro 5-5 overlap 03:30:573 (18,19) - same idea here and on that section theres no other time syllable repeat it might be a bit dumb but I think it was a cute way to represent vocals in that section
03:48:709 (7,8,9,10,1) - Those are part of a violin stream so you jump to it and which peaks here 03:49:048 (1) - with the vocal
And emm talked about it a bit but basicly the spacing isnt a huge increase from previous spacing and the climax of the vocal line increasing in spacing make sense. Still tried to reduce 03:52:776 (5,6,1) - a little but really hard to do more without breaking the current augment in spacing much
04:31:937 (15,16) - It is better not to stack here. It is better not to stop the movement by stacking as the movement becomes intense in the part here
04:33:624 (6,7,10,11) - the pattern here isn't the same as the previous verse or the previous lines, maybe reverse the order of the notes?
well i did intentionally did wanted to make this sorta more challenging to emphasis the vocals. i could however changes this but i believe what i have fits better in term of emphasizing the song here. maybe if someone else come along and disagree with me i dont mind but i prefer it like it is
I guess this one doesnt make much sense 04:41:251 (21,22,23) - and should be changed but all the other ones are kinda randomly pointed out and are to emphasize vocals for some of them and some others are to emphasize more impactful drum beats
04:54:048 (1) - is this note necessary? imo this adds to the pause and doesn't map to anything
