Mod \o/
mostly suggestions and some experimental hitsound modding since this seems pretty good, and modding slow maps is hardsdfsfaf
why do I write so many words for simple suggestions LOL your mod is good tbhIn general, I feel like hitsound volume could use a bit of work. I feel like in some sections, starting here for example 01:38:669 - , the hitsounds are barely at 100% music and 100% effects volume. uhhm kinda not sure since I want the map to stay quiet. Lets see later.ye <3
It might also be a good idea to silence some of the slider ticks in slower sections of the map, this 03:32:241 (2) - is a bit unfitting for example. agre
00:43:383 (1) - The angle on this note seems a bit weird to me, somehow. It makes me feel uncertain about if the note is part of the pattern or not; it could go either way.
Personally I would have done something like this https://i.imgur.com/KCwmL2o.png öhh fine to me. Your angle is too short for me.
01:11:669 (8) - This slider feels like it was forced to fit the playfield, rather than to fit your visuals. This makes it stand out in a bad way, imo.
As a fix, you could try moving 01:11:455 (7) - up a bit, this might give you that extra space you need. (also the blanket isn't perfect !!11!) fixed I guess
01:17:026 - It's a bit weird to skip this sound, to me. The sound is important in the sense that it tells the listener that the piano scale starts going down in comparison to 01:16:812 (4) - . It's also fairly loud and noticeable. Skipping it makes the scale feel incomplete and unsatisfying, but that could just be me.
As a fix, I suggest making 01:16:812 (4) - a 1/2 slider. fixed
01:18:527 (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) - these 1/8th extensions :weary:
Though, I do suggest putting a whiste on the head of all even-numbered sliders, as the piano does play on 2,4 and 8, not only on 6 and 10. It would also help dividing this pattern into pairs rhythmically. good idea
01:24:527 (3) - I feel like a 1/2 slider + circle would fit better with these vocals.
To me, it feels very much like the vocals are split into 2 groups of 2 syllables : "To-mo" and "Ki-ku". The rhythm would represent this better if it would have a similar pairing, like this for example https://i.imgur.com/INupqPq.png .
Additionally, it is worth noting that having this repeat occur so quickly after 01:23:241 (1) - made me think that they are mapped to similar things, while they really aren't. well thought but I want to keep low rhythm density
01:30:955 (1,5) - I think whistles would fit on the head of these sliders as well, with how you're using them so far. I has a whistle lol
01:42:740 - The same thing I talked about with the piano scale applies here as well, it feels a bit weird to skip this sound. Personally I would put a 1/2 slider + circle or 1/2 repeat here. nah. I actually want that long slider for movement and emphasizing vocal.
01:45:740 - 01:46:169 - I feel like the cymbals here are pretty defining for this specific part of the music. In my opinion, the way they're separate from the melody builds very well into this downbeat 01:46:384 (1) - . It's also a repeated pattern, it occurs here 01:40:598 (5,1) - and here 01:50:884 (4,5) - for example.
As such, it would be cool if you found a suiting rhythm for these rather than skipping them entirely. A 1/2 reverse might work well. That problem gets mentioned every time but I never come to a better solution then what I did.
01:53:883 (9) - This is another place where it feels like you just forced something to be on screen. It could make sense if you meant to put less emphasis on the cymbal, but that seems inconsistent with 01:43:598 (8) - .
I suggest trying to find a way to keep this distance snapped. Idk how to fix
02:00:526 (1) - I would add a whistle here, for the start of the new measure and start of a new melodic scale.
02:01:597 (6) - And I would remove this one, as the next melodic scale starts on 02:01:812 (1) - . fixed
02:14:669 (1) - The volume increase is a bit sudden here, going from 40% hitsound volume to 60% feels pretty jarring.
I'm not sure if I'm a big fan of the normal finish on its head either, it sounds pretty obnoxious to be completely honest.
I think Drum sampleset + Soft finish would be a better replacement in pretty much the entire map. not sure about that. Ill note it
02:22:384 (1,2,3) - The vocals these are mapped to are very simlar to 02:19:812 (1,2,3,4) - , yet the rhythm is fairly different. Not necessarely for consistency, but I think the rhythm you have at 02:19:812 (1,2,3,4) - just works better. So, I suggest repeating it. nah, Im fine with it tbh
02:36:098 (4) - I feel like this sliderhead should have been the Drum sampleset, rather than the Normal one. I think normal is fine
02:50:669 (1) - Holy moly this hitsound fits perfectly. Good stuff credits to deramok :3
03:44:240 - I feel like a click here would be better. Together with 03:44:669 - , these bass drums feel like they structure the buildup in this section with them occuring every 4 measures.
So as a suggestion, I think it would be fitting to give the player the same sense of structure by making both of these bass drums clickable in all cases. So, same here 03:54:526 - and possibly here 03:39:098 - . I made it that simple on purpose tbh so I cannot agree sry even thought your idea is not bad :/
04:04:384 (2,3,4) - This completely linear arrange feels a bit weird to me, it seems out of place within the context of the map. It might just be me, but I personally would try something like this https://i.imgur.com/KrHwSvm.png uh sry but thats one of my favorite patterns in the whole map if not my favorite xd
04:15:312 (6) - It could be interesting to stack this note underneath 04:15:098 (5) - , so there is no extra movement while the vocals pause. It would also help add impact on the jump to 04:15:527 (1) - . actually good idea but it kinda feels unfitting in movement for me but I keep it in mind
04:15:526 (1) - Odd to start using an entirely different finish here, imo. Ill keep it in mind xd
04:51:955 - Another sound that feels a bit odd to skip. It's fairly noticeable, especially since it feels like it forms a pair with 04:52:383 - , where you put a click. I suggest shortening 04:51:527 (1) - to be a 1/1 slider instead. That way you could also more accurately represent the background vocals by putting a circle here 04:52:169 - . I rly like my idea there tbh sry. Since this part is the a rly strong transition with vocal I wanna give it a strong contrast by using extra long sliders
05:00:098 (4) - I think you accidentally gave the sliderbody and tail the Normal sampleset here, it sounds really out of place. whoops
05:12:098 (1) - I would silence the end of this slider, the hitsound playing on the blue tick seems a bit unfitting. fixed
05:01:812 (1,2) - 05:03:098 (1,2) - reeeeeeeeee something blanket mod something nah. blanket tilts me there and disturbs movement and spacing
05:27:527 (1,2) - cute <3
Cool map, good luck!
Thx your mod is actually pretty good even though I haven't agreed much
