Hi there, sorry for the long wait, but here we go with the mod
|S|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|
[General]
The OD/HP settings are not consistently spread between the difficulties and the jump from 7 straight to 8 from N to H is kind of bothering me
I'd either make it evenly spread or at least lower HP of H to 7,5
Hitsounds aren't always clearly hearable, especially the whistle and single streams as observed in the X diff, I would suggest raising the volume for single streams like that with a green line I guess and maybe raise the volume of the whistle somehow
[X]
Judging from this diff I see one major flaw in how it's mapped - it's obviouslyt a chart for left scratch, completely ignoring right scratch players. It's not terrible for them, but there are patterns which are very biased which in my opinion is bad
00:15:612 - Not accenting the burst in any way here?
00:22:202 - Why is there a gap here? You have a very clear bass hit here and there's nothing
00:23:589 - Same here
00:27:751 (27751|7,27838|5,27925|7,28011|5,28098|4,28185|6,28271|4,28358|6,28445|4,28532|2,28618|4,28705|2) - This entire pattern makes no sense musically, it makes no sense pitch wise, it doesn't accent the loud synth well enough with transitions and it honestly looks really random. If you're for some reason charting the piano that plays in the background, then it's way too quiet to be represented in that way. You really should redo the pattern to accent the synths.
Also I can see that you are building the next sections using the same trills as a base. That concept is wrong, it doesn't accent anything that's hearable without good headphones and that's the core of patterning here. Really suggesting a redo on that.
00:30:295 (30295|1) - There is no kick here, it pauses for a moment, however there is a kick around 00:29:716 - that you should accent.
00:30:959 - 00:32:260 - right hand very empty
00:31:913 - This sounds like there's a 4 note 1/6 burst in, you're not accenting it on purpose?
00:32:607 (32607|7,32693|5,32780|7,32867|5,32953|6,33040|4,33127|6,33214|4) - This trill is fine btw, here the synths are accented well
01:11:104 - Just making sure, the burst is not accented on purpose? (Same as the one mentioned at 15:612)
01:20:468 - Ironically you are ignoring the bass hit like at 22:202 but also not ignoring the minijack for the other hit
01:34:341 - You really should at least add one note to every clap for this part, it plays almost like a straight jumptrill so more accentation would be great, to not have the same stuff all the time.
01:39:283 - There's also this "clap roll" that would be nice to actually map for some more spice
01:38:676 - 01:44:225 - there are 8 notes on column 7 inbetween those two timestamps including them, kinda empty here, I see no reason why wouldn't you spread it more, especially since this part has very heavy 4th column usage too
01:45:526 - whY DID YOU STOP ALL THE 1/4s HERE THE PIANO IS STILL GOING ON FOR A WHILE THE STOP IS SO RANDOM WHEN YOU CAN CLEARLY HEAR ALL THE PIANO NOTES FOR AT LEAST TWO MORE MEASURES (((((
There are also some interesting unmapped sounds in the outro before the slow down which are worth checking out.
I'm really curious as to what you think about the mod and it's crucial to fix some of those issues (for me), so I'll wait with modding rest of the set until you reply. Once again sorry for the delay, but I'll get back to it once you reply.
