Heya
Good luck
General
- I would suggest you remove the notes before 00:09:174 - , I think having these conflicts too much with the part from 00:09:591 - which is far more intense, especially in the higher diffs. I would suggest you just let the instruments play in the off until the drums start at 00:09:174 - .
- I feel like the spread Kantan-Futsuu-Muzu could be improved. I think that kantan/futsuu could be buffed a little with short mono 1/1 and 1/2 triples respectively, because muzu has some longer 1/2 patterns while futsuu doesn't use 1/2 and kantan doesn't use 1/1.
Kantan
- How about 00:28:480 - dkd kkd and repeat instead of 4x kkd? The pitch on the first note seems a bit lower.
- Try to fill out 00:37:369 - to avoid the 8/1 gaps you have, these feel a bit too empty imo. How about adding notes on 00:37:369 - and 00:37:924 - to have 5-note 2/1 represent the guitar?
- Similar to ^, move 00:44:591 - to 00:44:035 - and add a k on 00:43:480 - for a similar structure and just let the drum play in the off.
- You could add finishes to notes like 00:36:257 - and 00:40:702 - 00:49:591 - or every other to have better emphasis of the finish sounds in the music here.
- I feel like you could use a finish on every 4 downbeats in the kiai like on 01:36:257 - or 01:31:813 - .
- Maybe fill out 00:56:535 - and 00:56:813 - with d and 01:00:980 - with k to have some 1/1?
Futsuu
- How about removing 01:02:091 - and starting a 1/2 k triple from 01:02:369 - ?
- 01:06:952 - add k? This part is fairly densely mapped in the muzu, some 1/2 in this section would be good imo.
- I think it could sound better if you remove 00:29:313 - and instead have notes on 00:27:785 - and 00:28:480 - and 00:28:202 - to keep at least some of the rhythm from the previous part, the change feels a bit abrupt otherwise.
Muzukashii
- 00:40:146 (122,123) - ctrl+g and 00:40:007 - add k.
- You should try to combine instrument + drum a bit more around 00:37:091 (109,110,111,112) - , maybe something like this, cursor on 00:37:369. I think the longer pattern sounds a bit abrupt otherwise.
- I feel like you could add finishes on 01:11:813 - and 01:31:813 - for example for better emphasis of the new part, especially if you leave so much space beforehand. You could try some low-density patterns instead follwing the drums, something like this, cursor on 01:11:118 - . I think something like this would sound more fitting, especially if you use a finish on 01:11:813 - for example. If you apply this in oni you could simply add a note on 01:11:535 - in the muzu. Some more notes in 1/2 in the higher diffs would be good to keep the momentum going instead of using a slider imo.
Oni
- A note on 00:38:202 - would be good, I feel like this doesn't play very smoothly as of now.
- Consider adding some 1/4 triples in the part from 01:04:869 - until 01:09:590 - for better spread to the inner oni and for a smoother transition, I don't think the 1/3 streams into a long 1/2 chain plays very well. From 01:05:702 - you have the support of the drumroll, how about 01:05:910 - and 01:07:021 - add d and 01:07:090 - d as well?
Good luck
