[Terms List]
Nice song by the way, I enjoyed listening to it.- Accent - Emphasis/Stress on the beginning of a note
- Staccato - A sound or note sharply detached or separated.
- 00:07:491 - I have a feeling that you were following vocals for most of this song but sometimes it doesn't seem like it or only very, very loosely. Such as:
- 00:07:491 (1,2,3) - If you didn't even have the 1/1 slider, I would've had no idea at all that you were maybe following vocals. It would be nice to have a few hit circles such as for 00:07:855 (2) - because in these two beats, the intonation of the vocals on the first beat is slightly more accented.
- 00:10:037 (4,1,2,3) - These two are even harder to tell because the first two vocals are on the slider ends of the first two sliders. I'm not even quite sure you were even following vocals until the 1/1 slider. If you were following the vocals, maybe try to address it by making the first two vocals be clickable by changing 00:10:037 (4) - to a hit circle and then 2 sliders afterwards and then another hit circle.
- 00:25:673 (3,4,5,6) - I'm not quite sure about this but are these 4 hit circles here because of the background synth at this moment?
- 00:26:764 (2,3,4) - Nothing special really happens here except for the vocals but you're not following vocals so just kind of question the rhythm placement here. I don't believe this would play very well as following the vocals because of the kicks but possibly change 00:27:127 (3) - to hit circles because the second vocal is slightly more stressed than the others.
- 00:34:764 (4) - Possibly change these to hit circles because, one, there is a stressed vocal on the slider end of the slider, and two, it is the build up to a more intense section of music.
- 00:50:764 (7) - Any reason other than variety for the rhythmical difference in rhythmically identical parts between this and 00:38:037 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - this?
- 01:28:582 (2) - Possibly remove the whistles on the 1/8 beats because having all 5 of those whistles sounds a bit too loud.
- 00:06:037 (1,2) - Any reason for this measure to be portrayed completely differently from everything else?
- 00:18:037 (2) - Possibly change this 1/2 slider into hit circles because of the staccato intonation in the vocals on the 2nd beat of the slider.
- 00:19:127 (1) - Maybe change this 1/1 slider repeat into a 1/2 slider then a 1/1 slider because you skip over a vocal line using the 1/1 slider repeat.
- 00:24:946 (1,2,3,4) - I don't like how this measure and 00:26:400 (1,2,3,4) - this measure are portrayed completely the same rhythmically when they're very different to each other. I would recommend possibly changing the latter to 1/1 slider then two 1/2 sliders because of the vocals being a nice offbeat rhythm.
- 00:28:946 (4) - Possibly change this 1/2 slider to two hit circles because for most of this you passively play the vocal rhythm but having the end of the phrase end on a clickable object and also the most stressed note of all them would definitely have more of an impact and be more rhythmically accurate.
- 00:39:855 (2,4) - Consider changing these two 1/2 sliders into hit circles to make all the vocal rhythms clickable and also to include variety as most of the rhythm in this section are solely 1/2 sliders.
- 01:02:218 (3,4) - If you change this rhythm around it would be a bit nicer as the last note of the phrase would end as a clickable one and would better lead into the spinner.
- Consider increasing the rhythmic density in this entire map because the low amount of 1/2 notes do not prepare players for the jump between this difficulty and the next. Some points to possibly add notes are:
- 00:06:582 - Because of the vocal start here, it would be a nice clickable object.
- 00:10:218 - Same thing to do with the above.
- 00:14:037 (4) - Possibly change this into a 1/2 repeat and add a hit circle at 00:13:491 - or have two 1/2 slider repeats in a row to better follow the vocals.
- 00:24:037 - Possibly have a 1/2 slider repeat and then a normal 1/2 slider so the cymbal on 00:24:582 - is clickable.
- 00:26:946 - You could add a hit circle here because before this you have 3 1/1 sliders in a row.
- 00:32:764 - Another hit circle here would do well because of the slowly increasing intensity up until the 2nd verse.
- 00:35:127 (5) - Removing the repeat on this slider and adding a note at 00:35:855 - would make the emphasize drum hit clickable.
- 00:42:037 (4) - Possibly change this into a 1/2 slider so as to increase the intensity at the chorus and also to slightly under map the 1/4 rhythm in the background.
- 00:50:764 (4) - I'm pointing all these out mostly because you yourself add some of these 1/2 but you don't everywhere so it's slightly inconsistent. It would nice if there were these in the corresponding spots in this entire section to slightly increase the rhythm density.
- 00:53:673 - The last corresponding space is on the slider end of this slider so either you would need to place a hit circle on the next red tick or change the slider to a hit circle then add the 1/2 slider here, that is if you are following these suggestions.
- 01:06:582 - You might want to remove the hit circle here and just add a 1/2 slider repeat or add a hit circle there and change the 2nd hit circle to a 1/2 slider because of the vocals. Most of the other times you mapped this rhythm were good but this one is very... passive.
- 00:20:582 (1,2,3,4) - The only thing I can really notice in this difficulty is how off this rhythm sounds. I think it would play more accurately and sound better if it was a two 1/1 sliders in a row then a hit circle then the 2/1 slider and another 1/1 slider. If my explanation doesn't make sense here is an image.
