00:14:487 (1,1,1,1) - only mapping some of the vocals as notes and some as spinners just feels a little dumb given how theyre just the same thign but longer i feel like just circles and no spinners is fine

or, make an oni

permalink

i thought about making an oni but im lazy af rn so nah ill just put notes instead

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

also i kinda like having the intro mapped, its more hype

permalink

00:30:887 - consider mapping this sound if you're going to follow the 1/3 as in 00:30:487? not sure why you would skip this

permalink

bruh i didnt even hear it before you pointed it out

00:38:412 - why r u doing an sv increase here theres nothing to transition from just start with 1.1?

permalink

true

00:45:612 -Since you've been pretty consistently mapping the main guitar melody as kats and the melody isn't present here i think it would be more accurate to have this note as a don

permalink

done!

i suggest moving 00:58:512 -> 00:58:437 so it falls on the drum layer as you were previously following
if applied, i suggest removing 01:00:912 for the same effect since it repeats here

permalink

done!

maybe 00:59:712 - 01:00:162 can be a (k k d k) instead so that the (k k) represents the the held pitch at 00:59:712 - 00:59:862 and will also help emphasize the pitch change at 01:00:012 (which will be mapped as a don)

permalink

switched it to d kkddk k starting at 00:58:562

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

oops sorry i meant starting at 00:59:562

permalink

01:01:512 - the sound is pretty clearly audible here so i think you can map it—maybe a kat?

permalink

added a don, I think it fits better with the following don.

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

i think seperating the stream so the layers arent blended helps it stand out more
to do this i suggest moving 01:01:887 -> 01:01:737 and removing 01:02:337. this also follows a similar succession of quints like youve done at 00:59:112

permalink

similar reasoning to above, remove 01:04:737
also highlights the pause in the guitar which on the layer youve been following

permalink

done!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

you switch from following the guitar at 01:08:112 and then the drums at 01:10:362. i suggest to keep following the drums as you did it previously from 00:57:987 and if you implement #3849805
you can do this by moving 01:08:112 -> 01:08:037 and removing 01:08:337

permalink

done!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

i suggest moving 01:08:937 -> 01:08:637 so its consistent with 01:10:962

permalink

done!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

i suggest removing 01:10:137, you dont do it anywhere else for where this section occurs so the quad feels random.

permalink

i agree!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

if you remove 01:11:937, the stream stands out more, and the bassline becomes a lot clearer

permalink

done!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

01:13:362 - very small suggestion but i kinda like a kat there to represent the high pitched wub sound

permalink

i agree!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

01:15:237 missing note? i suggest filling it in since the guitar is still occuring and removing 01:15:537 like you have done at 01:05:787

permalink

done!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

01:16:362 - i feel like the guitar note here can be emphasized better—perhaps i might modify 01:15:762 - 01:16:512 to kdkkkkddkdk instead so that the colour change (@ 01:16:362) can properly address the guitar sound without the pattern feeling too awkward to play.

permalink

changed it to kdkkddkkkkd

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

01:18:462 - no drum hit here, could just delete this

permalink

done!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

01:26:412 - Would remove this Finisher as there isn't any certain strong beat to use Finisher here. If you are following the synth, then I think it would be awkward for the vocal in there as well.

01:33:612 - Same here.

permalink

those finishers were on the crash symbals, but i was ignoring half of them for some reason?? so yeah ill remove them

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

01:28:887 - 01:29:037 - I would say adding these notes into these gaps because you are trying to follow the vocal stretch like the latter patterns. Would be great to stay consistent to your patterning choice here.

permalink

01:28:812 - ddddkkd

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

01:32:412 - i think a don here feels a bit better to play here as the repeated don (from 01:32:262 - 01:32:412) would follow the held vocal note

permalink

done!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

01:39:012 - 01:40:812 - what's up with the decision not to map the double pedal fully as a long stream and instead using several shorter patterns?

permalink

no idea why i didnt map it as a stream... fixed!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

01:42:012 - Could maybe slow down the SV for these triplets and speed up suddenly at the Finisher at 01:43:212? I think it allows more emphasis to the Finisher since the beat is pretty noticeable there.

permalink

Or you can do sth like you did at 03:46:662.

permalink

doing like i did on 03:46:662 -

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

01:44:412 - 01:45:612 instead of (kkddkdddk) i would recommend maybe (kkdkddkdk): that way you can better emphasize the vocals with the colour change at 01:45:012 and the kat @ 01:45:312

permalink

i agree!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

01:44:637 - missed a drum hit?

permalink

fixed!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

01:47:862 - personally i feel a kat would be a bit more comfortable to play here (and i don't think the three dons from 01:47:562 - 01:47:862 really follow anything in particular anyways)

permalink

changed them to dkk to make them emphasize the vocals.

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

01:48:012 - 01:50:112 - this could have been mapped as one long stream. the way you split the stream feels kinda random too

permalink

done!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

01:59:712 - cut off the stream here. 01:59:787 (771,772,773) - maps to nothing

permalink

done!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

02:00:012 - 02:02:412 - lots of drum hits missed. recheck this section and add notes as needed

permalink

should be good now!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

02:04:812 - this kiai is great

permalink

02:04:812 - Correct me if I am wrong, but the slow down SV seems a bit broken here? My screen has a very bad refresh rate so would like to double confirm this.

permalink

hmmm seems fine to me? might be because the finisher is 1.15x and the note after is 1.05x, i can try changing it a bit to fix it because i dont really like that sudden sv change either

permalink

changed finisher to 1.2x and made the slowdown 2/1 longer

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

02:24:012 - Missing Finisher?

permalink

true

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

02:36:087, 02:37:587 - not sure what's with the decision to split the stream instead of just making 02:32:112 - 02:38:112 a whole stream. consider filling the gaps, mapping this as a whole stream would be way better

permalink

fixed!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

02:36:162 - 02:36:612 feel free to ignore this if you'd like to keep the patterns simplified for easier playability but instead of kdkkddk i think kdkkdkd would be more accurately following the late rise in pitch in the vocals (from 02:36:462 - 02:36:537)

permalink

i agree, but i think kdkkkdk is a bit awkward to play, so i changed it to ddkdkkd and i connected it with the pattern after with a don to make a stream.

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

02:42:912 - cut off the stream here. same case as #3877431

permalink

done!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

02:47:862 - 02:48:012 not sure if you'd agree but for me it feels kinda cool to play it as a dkk

permalink

im not too sure about dkk but i do think ddk sounds better!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

02:52:812 - 02:59:712 - one long continuous blast beat section, consider filling the gaps and turning into a single long stream

permalink

done!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

03:01:212 (144,145,146,147) - consider turning these single notes into finishers if you're not filling the swell with a stream. this part needs some intensity and the finishers for the crashes would at least give some of that

permalink

done!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

03:12:162 - I think the SV is pretty unnecessary here. I would go straight into the constant SV for this since the music doesn't call for much intensity change in here, unless you want to avoid the awkward overlaps that you want to keep this SV.

permalink

yeah i dont want the overlap, so i'll keep like it is

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

i think the decision to put on the kiai toggle at 03:12:312 instead of 03:12:012 feels kinda unconventional—the finisher is a pretty clear indication of a new section so i think it'd be ok to just move the kiai there

permalink

done!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

03:27:012 - 03:27:312 - rather than kinda half-following the vocals i think it looks a lot cleaner by removing these 2 kats and commit to just following the instrumental

permalink

I dont think you heard them, but I mapped the cymbals there, they are not that loud so i reduced the volume on them instead of removing them.

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

i am deaf and the volume down idea actually sounds really good

permalink

03:29:112 - i like a don here since there like a lower wub sound that wubs down in pitch and also matches the vocals going down in pitch there

permalink

i dont think it's worth mapping, i would expect some kind of drums or something louder there to map a don to it.

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

03:40:612 (499,500) - sounds like these are mapped to nothing, could just delete

this would allow you to start the stream at 03:40:812 -

permalink

fixed!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

Small suggestion for the pattern at 03:40:962 - 03:42:612 I would suggest maybe adding a kat at 03:41:862 and 03:42:312 just to make it feel a bit more smooth to play

permalink

there's no cymbals on those notes, so i prefer not adding kats.

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

03:42:687 - splitting the stream here sounds arbitrary, consider filling the gap

permalink

done!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

04:16:512 - 04:18:012 - drums are on 1/3. consider mapping to that instead of keeping the 1/4 vocal mapping. you're missing some really interesting stuff by skipping the drum emphasis here

permalink

done!

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

04:18:837 - another gap that feels arbitrary, consider filling

permalink

04:25:587 (993) - k? guitar do a funny

permalink

oo yeah

permalink
Marked as resolved by Eltigant

04:30:462 - i would map this as a kat to represent the held note from the guitar melody that started at 04:30:312 (which you mapped as a kat)

permalink

done!

it's the same as 03:49:212 -
