I use the Elite Beat Osu skin because I like the hitsounds better. None of that loud default whistle.

BAT are humans, too. We don't get some magical injection that gives us superhuman powers of modding when we get our BAT wings. Therefore, despite what you might think, its still perfectly possible for us to make mistakes.

Wait, you didn't get the injection?

Anyway, if a map sounds like shit without any hitsounds, doesn't that mean the song sounds like shit?

I think you all missed MY point, being that I'm the person who INITIALLY complained on this thread.

I'm saying I don't mod hitsounds. To be honest, I wouldn't be able to mod hitsounds effectively because I think hitsounds are OBNOXIOUS. Whistles always sound out of place because we're not cheerleaders or in the military or some shit. Whistles aren't music. Claps are cool sometimes, but it's still just an obnoxious distraction to the music.

So yeah, if I were to mod hitsounds, I'd tell the mapper to get rid of all whistles.

Do you want that? Probably not. So I don't mod hitsounds. I don't know what you people think is "right" or "wrong", but that's where I stand. Strange that your idea of "good" and "bad" is not actually universal.

lol whoops ^^;;

But yea. Whistles are annoying out of place. I've seen very few maps where they are used rather well and not annoying.

Oh god I couldn't agree more. I seriously hate using whistles they're horrid. When I see maps with tons of whistle spam I die a little inside. Yeah, it's user preference, but argh.

Usually the whistle-spammed maps are using them incorrectly, anyways.

I like whistles.

They are technically music BTW. Anyways, I like them because they're a good indicator of whether your volume/the map's hitsound volume is too loud, or just fine. If the whistles don't hit your ears, you're good to go. If they bug you, then your volume is most likely too loud (That, or the mapper needs to fix their volume).

Difference is clearest between two maps of the same mp3 with different hitsound volumes. I know from my experience this morning. I just tested it, too. So, what's the lesson?

Don't play osu! when your comp, headphone, and osu! volumes are all on max. I assure you that the result is not good for your ears.

As far as hitsounds go, if a person modding it knows how to make the hitsounds sound better, I say go for it. Hitsounds are very, very important in games like this. What do I mean by "games like this"? Why, games where sounds come when you press/hit the correct key/button/stick/pad/slot/etc.

tl;dr: Have your volume at a humane level and you'll be fine if the mapper checked to make sure that the whistles sounded good and weren't too loud to rape your ears. Mappers, don't be idiots please. Unless you're me.

P.S. By "humane", I mean that pretty much only you should be hearing the sound from the headphones. I should not be able to hear the sound from them clearly on a totally different floor, and/or on the other side of the room. After all, the point of headphones is so that only you hear the music, especially if it's rap. You hearin' this, classmates?

My take on hitsound modding is this: only offer suggestions on how they can possibly improve their use of it, and not specifics ("put a whistle on this note").

For example, if they have an entire section filled with whistles, tell them that there are too many there and that they should remove some, but don't say *which ones* to remove.

If I feel some specific beats should have a specific hitsound, I would say "I *expected* to hear a whistle on this note while playing because [some reason eg. stacked notes]" or "try putting a whistle here, do you think it sounds better?", but never "put a whistle here or else"

I think I increasingly agree with Echo the more I hear from him.

mtmcl you make me sick. Hitsounds are what MAKES osu! maps what they are. You should be left yearning for the hitsounds to be playing when you listen to a song without them. They should compliment the music. It does take skill to make them do this, but saying things like "whistles aren't musical" is pretty incorrect and a very personal opinion. I don't think a BAT should be sharing such opinions with the community as it may be misperceived.

1. cheerleaders...like ouendan? ;o

2. there are perfectly good uses for all hitsounds that make them sound good. ive seen maps where the whistles blend so closely with the song that you can remove them and they still sound like theyre there. not music? then why were they in the music? I use whistles in all of my maps, even normal whistles....in fact in my most recently ranked map i have individual sections of normal sampleset specifically for the purpose of using the normal whistle where it sounded good.

3. claps are another thing that can sometimes be found inside the music that you are mapping. again i ask: if they are obnoxious and distracting, why did the composers put them into the music to begin with? answer: they arent. they fit. they make it sound BETTER.

if you cant agree with those two points you should probably let someone else do your hitsounds for you because you suck at them.

Why all the drama about hitsounds? This is just an issue of personal taste, but within limits. Like mapping itself is. I don't see a rage thread about bad use of sliders. They're there to complement, not to stand in the spotlight.
If a map has bad hitsounds, turn them off. Easy as that, I tend to do it sometimes too.

I personally like to use hitsounds on the vocals, or on certain syllables that need a stress. Of course, as a member of the TaikoM@ster group, my maps have hitsounds that make the map fun on taiko mod.

Example 1: Yie Ar Kung Fu
Taijin yamafuri oolong cha, Yie(whistle sounds like "ryie!") Ar Kung(The clap resembles a "kah!") Fu (Finishes sound life "shoow!")
Example 2: Dan Dan Dou
Thanks to the variation of hitsounds on repetitive parts, this map remains fun and replayable. Of course the patterns have something to do with that too, but the hitsounds are like a spice here. Also, check the Hyper diff on taiko. It's even better than standerd, I'd say.
Also, if you don't like the current Whistle and Clap sounds, feel free to change them, as you can use anything from a twinkle to a belch. (but please don't use the latter)

Usually if the whistle is too obnoxious in a given map I would suggest that they try turning the hitsound volume down a bit. Often it's the volume of the hitsounds relative to the song that makes them annoying.

lol

what sounds right in some ears might sound bad in others.

im for giving suggestions on a beatmap, however requiring is abit to harsh. sure there are some maps that sounds really terrible to YOU with hitsounds, however thats what the rating system is for in the end.

hitsounds don't fit with a massive amount in all maps. instead of forcing the mapper on to hitsounds, how about just adding a comment like "you have to many claps" or "your whistles are to loud".

theres no a chance the mapper will learn how to use hitsounds good when you mod the shit out of his map with hitsounds and force your own style. the mapper will just get insecure by that.

@peppy and SFG

If you make your argument without insulting me, I'll respond to it.

I think there are some exceptions, but in general, a map without hitsounds is incomplete in my opinion.

@mark: I will agree that the whistle sound CAN be annoying, but it's part of the game >_>. Luckily, we can optimize our hitsounds when mapping!

A map needs hitsounds, because if nothing else you want the player to feel like they're part of the music. If you don't like the hitsounds in either sample set and believe neither is good for your song, then get your own that do. The hitsounds are there to accent parts of the music that are particularly high-pitched, finalistic, or rhythmic. If your song doesn't have those elements, surely it has elements that vary. Songs that doesn't vary in sound like this aren't interesting music.

I think a big problem about hitsounds in regard to modding is the fact that they don't impact the playability of a note, as their effects are not felt until after the note has been hit. Timing, distance spacing, combos, and note-type choice are all elements closely criticized because they help people see what's coming, but hitsounds generally don't help the player know where the next note will be. It's also an audial concept instead of a visual one, so often you have to click the note to find out what it is in the editor, or play it back and then rewind.

Like all elements of mapping, hitsounds are subject to a degree of subjectivity when they go through the modding process. The mapper has the choice of accepting criticism or rejecting it. There is a point at which hitsounds can be so unliked that it is considered "bad" - not by some external standard, but by the community - to the point at which the map cannot progress any further unless there are changes.

For those debating creative freedom, think about it this way: the front page says, "Also available is a fully functional built-in editor, allowing intuitive creation of your own beatmaps for the songs you want to play." (emphasis sic) Notice that the page says nothing regarding ranking, popularity in the community, or general goodness. If you want to place crap hitsounds, then fine, that's your choice. Maybe you and your friends will enjoy it. But don't expect your map to go anywhere unless you use them in a way the majority of us (or at least 2 of us) think is good.

I think people are being a little too hard on mtmcl's opinion. I think of it this way: If peppy were to ask me which shade of pink looks best on the website, and I hate all pink, it's probably best that I refrain from commenting, since I know that my opinion on the matter is unhelpful toward peppy's goal of the best-looking pink website. Similarly, if I hated the sound of whistles, my opinion on where the whistles sound the best would be rather unhelpful as well, since they'd sound bad to me in all places, so I would again refrain from commenting on them. In a more literally applicable sense, I suck at timing, so I let other people mod a map's timing, because my timing suggestions would be useless.

Sticking to what you know is a good thing, and there's no reason to insult mtmcl for doing so.

You put it better than I could.

And hell, if you play my maps, I'd say I place the hitsounds properly for the most part, so it's not like I suck with hitsounds. I just don't personally like them in most cases.

I have no problem with people modding hitsounds. I do think if you pop a bubble over something like hitsounds, you better babysit the map and be ready to rebubble it even if they say "I don't like your suggestions," though.

This map has been deleted on the request of its creator. It is no longer available.

I sometimes mod hitsounds, also I don't deny hitsounds modding, it's a way that can make maps better after all. But in my opinion, hitsound moddings should be suggestion,hitsounds are not ABCD choice questions, they can sound good in more than one way. And a good hitsound for a person sometimes sounds not that good for others.

Also, seriously, please don't call people idiots simply because you don't like their creations, don't call maps shit simply because you don't like them. What you don't like is simply you don't like, not everyone.It's really immature to call someone idiot or something shit for this reason IMO.

My English sucks, my words may be offensive. I apologize here. If you don't want to read my shitty post, in short, I hate people to force others and even to insult people just because they don't like it.

if he ignores your mod isn't that fine enough saying he doesn't want to change it? honestly people are not that much of assholes to ignore mods unless they truly belive that they have the right hitsounds for their map. there are a massive amount of players and modders in osu, im pretty sure if a map had so bad hitsounds that it can hardly be played, people will complain.

i think you are over-reacting. also you seem to be the only one who is having this problem apparently (maybe a very few other BAT's). by being "blunt" like you are right now and attacking peoples oppinions, what position do you think that puts you in? do you actually think you are going to win peoples respect by this? i really doubt it. i would hate it if people were to insult me in some way.

All that SFG is saying, basically, is that people shouldn't totally disregard a modding post just because it's all about hitsounds, and that they make a big part of the map. They should at least try it, and see if they like it better. Instead, they often just disregard the post because they think hitsounds don't matter, and call the modder an asshole or something similar, even though it was just a suggestion. That's all she's saying, honestly.

I 100% agree this, and it's what I always do no matter who give me opinion. Also, this is what I hope mapper do, I sometimes nazi hitsounds, and I never face situation like that.

If mappers just disregard the post because they think hitsounds don't matter, and call the modder an asshole or something similar. Then I call them assholes as well. If this happens "often", then just ignore my previous shit, or tell me then I will delete that.

It's how English works; since lots of American male teenagers are both stubborn *and* fail at their native language, you have to make it simple for them to understand, while also adding a bit of an edge. How sharp depends on the situation. Sometimes it's dull, other times it's sharp. But yeah, that's English for ya.

OK I reread my post after few minutes. I simply hate people call "leaving the mapper their style" a fucking BS or treat mapper's style as a fucking BS. Maybe I just type too many craps then lost the point.

I think most people here are polite regardless some jokes and lames(Yes I did that, too), at least people what I met in this 1 year and 3 months. That's why I love osu. If there are those people who are stubborn with thick skulls, then I won't deny to be blunt. Just like nuking and making lemon tree an April fool butt or throw down the cake made with sour milk and shit. I did this to some nonsense maps. But I won't refer all maps and mappers to shits and being blunt.Extreme is extreme, a black sheep can't represent all people and osu.

And yes I do suck at English and I do learn some from this post. Thanks for this and making things clear anyway.

all right let me try this one more time before i give up on communication entirely, since im doing such an incredibly bad job that other people have to interpret my posts for the people reading this thread.

if someone sees something that could largely improve a map or something that is largely detracting from a map i believe that it is, in effect, their DUTY to point that out to the mapper.

i compare someone who lets these messes slide to someone who watches a crime happen and does nothing to stop it. he is not a criminal, but he is not exactly to blame either.

and as a side note, Alace, you said that if you modded hitsounds to your standards it would be horrible, but as a mapper, ive had times when i wanted nothing more than to have a hitsound expert like yourself go through my maps and be as critical as possible over my hitsounds. that way i could combine knowledge with them and produce a better map, and furthermore improve my mapping overall.


there are some comments that are over the line. looking at a map and saying "i dont like this map, remap the whole thing" is wrong (no offense to peppy). saying "i dont like the hitsounds on this map, let me take it for you and rehitsound the whole thing" is wrong, unless the mapper gives you permission to do so first. i think some people take the line and put it too far into helpful commentary for the sake of stubborn mappers or personal leniency. and i think that that is also wrong.


please ask me if i need to clarify any of what i just said a few more times before i finally get my thoughts lined up enough to communicate them properly, and i apologize for my earlier rudeness while i was being frustrated by my inability to communicate.

Time to back to topic and clean up the mess.

I agree hitsound modding, it's a way to improve beatmap anyway. But I don't force people to change unless it's a shit. Cause art has no rules, osu is fun because we have many kinds of mappers and many kinds of maps. In my experience, mappers do try, and mostly take my suggestions, sometimes they don't take it but their reason do convince me so I just let it go.

I think thing is more clear in this way instead of mix with offensive metaphor craps. Also apologize to people who see my shitty posts in last hours. Feel free to blame or flame me if you want.

I don't like hitsounds at all.
They disturb the song in my eyes(/ears).
The only acceptable hitsounds so far are the taiko ones.
The rest annoys me

Wow, glad someone opened up this thread. Yes, some hit sounds are just so ridiculously placed that at times it throws of my rhythm and often times i crack a combo. For example, red series of hitcircles: 1-2-3(Master)-4? Why would the loudest , most distinct sound not be on the end of the combo? Also, whistles do get over used cuz mappers think they are Ouendan programers and must make their maps equally annoying as Osu! Takkae! Ouendan!

those are the kinds of hitsounds i try to mod OUT dears, not the type i try to mod IN

I think one of the reasons hitsounds sound good or bad to different people are their speakers. I use my laptop to play osu!, usually with headphones on. But on odd times where I map without headphones and simply use the Macbook speakers, they sound a lot different.
So yeah, I think half of the problem is that people are actually hearing different things, and not just personal hitsound preference alone.

Write a blog?

0_o, laptop speakers suck. I tried modding on my laptop once and couldn't. Poor speakers don't just ruin hitsounds, though; they ruin the music as well. If you don't have a decent setup even, you shouldn't be modding by sound.

Yes they do suck Still though, how the music/hitsounds sound can differentiate even between quality headphones or speakers.

I don't see a reason for you to be such a jackass, strager. I mostly just state it due to people acting like I don't know what I'm talking about when I get into specifics.

I'm done with this thread now, by the way, so bye.

Whoa Mogsy. I don't think anyone was insulting you. I think he was just making the point that the insults made about the arguments on the first page weren't really warranted.

@SFG - I wasn't saying that your mod posts are rude. I'm just saying that calling people idiots is rude. If you're going to respond by telling me that it's sometimes necessary, you're wrong. There is no situation in which it is acceptable to be inconsiderate.

As for your argument about art, I think it's important to note that there's a difference between the statements "art is art" and "art is valuable".

Anyway, I don't know, but I think, other than small disputes, most things here are resolved?

This thread has really gotten out of hand. This was supposed to be a discussion on hitsounds, not "hey lets bash the shit out of everyone elses arguments." I'm fine with normal discussion, but personally attacking specific people because of their views is disrespectful.


tbh, i expected a bit more maturity out of BATs/Global Mods, but i guess not.

If anyone has a problem with me locking this, PM me.

Yes, go play mafia instead. If there was this level of posting and post picking and opinions being thrown around (and out the window), I'd be super happy.
