Incoming Mod from RRM Queue
Glad I took to modding this, the song is actually really good.
One thing to note is that I'm not very experienced in 7k mapping or patterning in general, but I'll add some suggestions wherever necessary and its always open for discussion till we reach an agreement.
Okay, here we go! I'm mostly going to just suggest structural improvements and pinpoint some minor changes that might add that little touch to make it better. To apply them will mostly revolve around your opinion though.
Column 1|2|3|4|5|6|7Rainbow Melody
00:02:068 (2068|0) - Assuming you added this note for the lower-pitched piano sound, I personally feel you could extend this to the beat before the melody plays at 00:03:568. The beginning just feels a bit empty without it and I thought it was possible to make it an LN since the pitch itself was held until the drums came in. The entire map doesn't have an LN for piano though, and I'm a bit hesitant to change that. Personal preference, but I'd say that having that the only piano note as an LN would be inconsistent and I'd have to search through the map for similar notes and make them LNs
00:21:158 - Suggestion to add an LN in column 4: The presence of this LN is to reflect the resonating cymbal sound so it doesn't feel that empty for these few measures where there are no other notes. I'd recommend ending the LN at 00:21:704 so it'll look like this I could do that
00:21:499 - Same general comment about the slowdown (refer to Umo-): While it would be possible to play this section with practice and adjustments, the slowdown feels a bit too abrupt. In my opinion, this slowdown could be toned up to 0.65x so it corresponds with your second verse slowdown at 02:08:545. If anything, it makes the transition from the first section into this verse more comfortable as well. Did some thinking and I guess it wouldn't be bad to speed it up a bit. changed to 0.65x
02:11:068 (131068|1,131204|3,131340|2) - Could be changed to col 4-2-6, seems to flow better in terms of PR when combining both piano parts together. Sure
02:17:340 - This part feels a bit undermapped compared to the rest of the map, keeping in mind that you spent most of this map layering on the bass. As part of a transition to the 2nd part of this verse you could map the vocals with LN, or reuse the piano patterning in 02:08:613. I personally prefer the latter as it was already introduced when you moved on to the second verse of the song. Personally, I feel like having this as a break section, as few notes as possible while still having something to play. It's a personal opinion though, that may change, but for now, I'm leaving it as it is.
03:55:522 (235522|2,235522|1,235522|5,235522|4,235522|6,235522|0) - suggestion to change this whole chord into an LN that extends to 03:57:431. Presence of this LN chord is to maintain the nature of the resonating cymbal, keyboard chords and the vocalist holding the pitch. For the chord LN No can do, cutting it off at 03:57:431 - isn't accurate; neither is the one at 03:57:704 - . The sounds go either longer or shorter than that. For example, the vocal doesn't go all the way there, it stops at 03:57:636 - and the keyboard chord (at least that's what i think you meant) stops at 03:57:158 - I guess this response also applies to the next point ↓. Gonna keep it as regular notes
03:57:431 - if you applied^, have one of the LNs from the chord extend to 03:57:704 and cut off the rest at around 03:56:613. What I imagined in 2 screenshots For the LN releases
05:07:249 (307249|3) - the piano note resonates a bit here if you listen closely. I think it stops being audible around 05:08:613 so what you can do is to extend that note till that timestamp as an LN Sorry, no again, I'd want to keep the piano as regular notes.
It's a short mod but that's about it from me unfortunately, I wish I could fix your inconsistency as pointed out in previous mods, but I suffer the same syndrome myself. Also can't really judge the playability of this as I don't really have the skills taken to play this properly yet It's alright, you took time to look at the map and still gave some suggestions, anything I can use helps. Don't worry about it
Overall still a really intuitive style of 7k mapping and I love it! If this is going for rank soon, good luck with it. All the best Much thank o/
