1. Forsaken Promise (3.03 stars, 248 notes)
2. Shattered Promise (4.69 stars, 392 notes)
3. Unfortunate Promise (1.05 stars, 148 notes)

EDIT: If I make the diff longer for the foresaken promise, is it ok to copy and paste from old sections and just flip them? Or Should I make completely new sections?

- Background image should be 800*600 or 1024*768 please fix
- All the diffs should start at the same time
- Remove "k-pop" "remix" "promise" "davichi" and "sad" from the Tags. Don't know what the others mean but I don't think they belong They're the korean romanizations for the song name if anybody looks them up? XD


Unfortunate
00:59:888 (2) Make it end at 01:00:811
01:01:273 (3) Bad placement, move it somewhere else



Forsaken
01:14:196 (1) move it to 01:14:426
01:28:042 (3) Remove and extend (2) to here
01:47:426 - 01:47:888 Don't like the kiai placement here, seems weird Do you want me to just take the kiai away or change the time?

Lots of ugly slider choices please fix em
03:13:965 (1) make it end at 03:16:734?

[General]
- remove the audio lead-in, it won't be necessary cause there are enough time before the first note This is the countdown right? XD
- sad, promise, Davichi and remix are already in the title and artist box so remove them from tags, try adding the name of the girls
- set preview point in any place that you like, Timing--> Set current position as preview point. Do this for all diff I have no idea how to do this aha XD
- avoid using kiai only for the fountain, place kiai on the chorus is better Not sure how to change the kiai to other stuff other than the fountain XD

[Combo]
when placing a new combo, try to make it follow a fixed pattern. For example place new combo with each stanza change or lyric change. Also the harder the diff the longer the combo count Oki doki, shall do

[Sad Promise]
00:50:196 (1) - too many finish, avoid finish in a succession like this (especially when the volume sample is max) it hurts. Take a look on the other places similar to this and remove them
00:59:888 (2) - lengthen this to the white tick (1/4 beat forward)
01:01:273 (3) - not a good overlap please move this
01:15:119 (1) - hmm maybe lengthen this to red tick (1/2 beat forward)
01:17:426 (x) - add a circle here

[Unfortunate Promise]
00:42:350 (7) - fix the slider, the end is not snapped to any time division
01:14:196 (1) - lengthen by 1/2 beat
01:17:426 (x) - add a circle here
01:28:042 (3) - this circle doesn't really follow anything so consider removing it
01:28:965 (1) - lengthen by 1/2 beat
01:32:196 (x) - add a circle here
02:13:273 (1) - shorten by 1/2 beat
02:16:503 (x) - add circle
02:27:811 (1) - YES!! YAY!!!
02:31:273 (x) - circle

[Forsaken Promise]
00:57:119 (1) - the spacing is too close
01:05:196 (2) - in a case like this you can ignore spacing and put this right under 01:04:734 (1) to make it more neat, same goes for 00:37:965 (3)
01:13:273 (5) - spacing is too close
01:18:811 (6) - instead of placing this under the slider you can stack it under the slider's end or place it else where
01:20:657 (4) - ^
01:28:042 (4) - consider mapping this place, maybe put a spinner?
01:37:965 (6) - spacing is close
03:22:273 (6) - doesn't look very good imo
03:25:272 (1) - an anti jump but not a good one, fix the spacing

make your pattern more neat, try increasing distance spacing to avoid crowded placement and look at this for basic on pretty slider I'll do my best >_<"
Good Luck on your first map~THANK YOU!

00:18:811(8,9) overlapping.
00:57:580 (7,8,9) bad overlapping..



I see no major errors, but there are some not-looking-good overlappings. Shall fix if i see anymore xD

00:37:042(1) - idk about you, but I would follow the vocals and place three 1/4 beats here Yup, sounds better now thanks ;D
00:57:811(9) - there is no vibrato here (there is a tiny vibrato in the song at 00:58:503) in the song and this just runs over many vocal beats. I don't think it fits very well. I changed it a bit but if you still don't like it, I'll change it again to something else XD
01:16:734(1) - at this point in time, the backgroun music seems more important musically than the vocals. In my opinion, it's a little hard to hit this note at the right time when there's this weird 1/3 business going on. Uhh... *sweats* >_<"

I'll focus on hit sounds here.

Listening to the other difficulties, the hit sounds are pretty dis organized in my sense of using hit sounds.
Instead of trying to mod the difficulties which would have me changing near every sound and/or note, I'm going to try and give you a crash course on a (what i think is a proper) method on how to use hit sounds.

When it comes to the CLAP, I tend to think of it as the metronome for the Osu! player. The easier the difficulty, the higher the clap tick you want so the player can keep on beat. Ok, I think I understand this much XD But when you start adding the whistles and finishes and then there's long sliders it gets confusing >_>" Should I work out the hitsounds before I map it next time? =_="


On harder diffs, the tick can stay the same or you can space it out more since there the more experienced players have a better sense of rhythm and/or there are more soft beats inbetween drumming away. Ok~ I THINK I get this... I think the claps are further apart in my 'easy'/unfortunate one right? o_O" But there should be more or just stay the same?


Starting from here I get a little confused sorry XD (especially the parts i marked red)

As for Finishers, I prefer to keep the (hard) finish sounds for the final beat in the time signature. Ex. in a 4/4 time signature, i could put a finish on the 4th beat of 1/4 notes. For 3/4, the 3rd beat of the 1/4 notes. For (soft) finished, the same could be done, or something I like to do---add them on the symbols being used in the drumming or to accentuate a powerful or intense part of the song, like you you on 03:30:816 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - [Shattered Promise]


For (hard) whistles, I tend to keep them for Kiai time. 1/2 beats, or extra drumming off from the metrical beat of the drums. Ex. Drum solo's. As for (soft) whistles, I keep them for softer intensity songs to replace clap sounds or to indicate a softer section of the song.

That, so far, is the general basics I use hit sounds for. To help the player with the song's BPM, spice up the 4/4 or whatever time signature the song has, and THEN get more complex by adding hit sounds off the time siggy to add your own unique groove/music.

4/4 Time signature
1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and
1 clap 2 clap 3 clap 4 clap
1 clap 2 clap 3 clap clap clap
1 clap 2 clap 3 clap 4 finish
1 clap 2 clap 3 clap clap clap/finish
1 clap clap clap 3 clap clap clap

The more complex you get, the more likely you may make the music TOO noisy with additional sounds.

Hope this helped you with getting a solid hit sound board. My advice would be to copy a difficulty, erase all hit sounds and try what I explained above and see how it sounds compared to your original works. Yup, I definetely will have to try this >_<" Any trouble understanding anything, feel free to PM me or find me in-game. I used some musical terms there you might have a little trouble wrapping your head around if you've never played any instruments before.

Star none the less, the mapping was done very well. Thank you! XD

Hi thank you sooo much for the explanation, I think I'm slowly understanding how the hitsounds work more and more (after having about 2-3 other people explain it to me as well =___="

Ok, I think I understand this much XD But when you start adding the whistles and finishes and then there's long sliders it gets confusing >_>" Should I work out the hitsounds before I map it next time? =_="

I usually do hitsounds as the LAST thing in mapping because I feel its independent to how you situate the notes. Also, if you do hitsounds early and find a section needs to be changed, it adds more effort replacing hitsounds and you can (it does for me) confuse yourself as to where the hitsounds originally were. Long sliders....means nothing I feel. If it causes a break in the static clapping, let it make a break. I rarely find cases where a long slider makes the periodic clapping sound odd.

I think the clapping should be more often. Every other white tick should have a clap. (My opinion here) And on every 4th clap or every other 4th clap a finish could be added during the normal instrumental parts (exclude any abmornal instrument playing or solo's)

Starting from here I get a little confused sorry XD (especially the parts i marked red)

I find whistles annoying if used too much. That's why I keep it for special times, EX. Kiai time. 1/2 beats, 1 clap 2 clap 3 clap 4 clap = whistle clap whistle clap whistle clap whistle clap. Extra drumming, like if a snare drum is used sparingly or a higher pitch drum, I'll add a whistle on those spots to accentuate the lesser used musical sounds.

The soft whistle sounds like a light jingle so its not really a whistle per say. That's why I feel it can be used in-place of the clapping for softer, quieter, slower songs. When I say hard and soft, I mean changing the hitsounds to hard or soft in the timing menu (F3) if that might have been confusing you.

Time Signature. 4/4 means... TOP 4 = how many quarter notes per measure. BOTTOM 4 = what type of note gets a main beat. In this case 4 means a quarter note. Im not going to dive deeper in this, its not REALLY important unless you start getting into songs that are 3/4, 6/4. 9/8, etc... so uh.... if you still dont quite grasp time signature, ignore this.

The points is, After you have a solid beat in the song with hitsounds, then see where adding different hitsounds, will sound better.

The more complex you get, the more likely you may make the music TOO noisy with additional sounds.
