Timing: Resnap All Notes <-- Never forget about that.

[Harder]

00:32:01 (3) - move slightly to the right to allign with 00:28:48 (1)'s end.
00:41:72 (3) - allign with 00:39:07 (2)'s end.
00:42:60 (1) - show the slider's end. so that everyone knows how to follow this slider.
00:42:60 (4) - undo new combo.

00:47:89 (2) - allign with 00:42:60 (4)'s end.

00:59:37 (3,4,5) - 01:00:26 (6,7,8) - 01:01:14 (9,10,11) - Delete second beat of each and take 3rd to blue tick,
in other words make them just like 00:58:49 (1,2) -
01:02:90 (2) - allign with 01:02:02 (1)'s end.
01:05:99 (2) - reput on top of 01:05:55 (1)'s end.
01:06:39 (4) - move ahead to white tick.
01:18:39 Here your story board should be blank. (1) beat is overlapping it.
01:21:43 (5) - shorten to red tick and reput 01:21:86 (6) - on top of the slider's end.
01:22:32 (7) - "
01:23:20 (1,2,3,4) - add double whistle sound. When clicking the beggining and ending also.
01:24:51 (4) - Move this slider's end slightly to the left so it alligns with (5)
01:24:96 (5) - instead of finish sounds, whistle sounds.

01:33:79 (1) - add finish sound. Begenning and end.
01:36:66 (9) - take clap sound off.

01:47:46 (4) - "
01:51:43 (1) - This is how all of the circle sliders should look. This way people know where is the start, and the end.
02:04:23 (2) - flip vertically
02:07:31 (1) - i liked this slider's style. Try remaking it so that the curve plays smoother.
02:09:08 (3) - new combo
02:21:44 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - Too many stacks already, try changing this for an slider with returning arrow.
02:35:34 (9) - reput on top of sliders end

02:44:60 (5) - new combo
02:45:93 (9) - Put on top of fading one

My suggestions to make this map even more awesome.
None of these are changes that are a must, so it's your choice if you want to add them


- Grid level 3 -

[Normal]

01:09:07 (1,1) - Finish spam, it never sounds nice
01:50:55 (3) - 1 down
01:50:99 (4) - 2 down 1 right
01:51:44 (5) - 3 right
01:51:88 (6) - 3 right
01:52:32 (7,8,9) - Don't forget to space this to the previous notes
02:05:56 (1,2) - 1 down
02:12:62 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) - meh you could space this better ^^
02:19:68 (1,1) - Finish spam
02:48:35 (1,2,3,4) - 1 left

[Hard]

01:28:48 (2,3,4,5) - 1 right
01:28:48 (2,3,4,5) - 6 down?
02:21:43 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - Finish spam
02:47:91 (1,2) - 3 up
02:48:35 (2,3) - 1 right
02:49:67 (1,1) - finish spam,

[Harder]

01:10:51 (1) - D:
01:20:11 (2,3) - 1 down
01:21:87 (6,7) - 2 up
01:23:19 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - 2 up
01:53:19 (4,5,6,7,8) - D:
02:19:68 (1) - 2 up, 1 left
02:20:12 (2) - 1 left
02:20:56 (3) - 2 up
02:21:00 (4) - 1 left
02:21:44 (5,6,7,8,9) - 1 up
02:21:44 (5,6,7,8,9) - Finish spam.

Normal:

01:42:61 (5,6) - move these up a bit. The bottom of these hit circles are currently going off the screen, which is unrankable.


That's all. Good job, have a star!

nothing to say bout hitcircles or spinners
but try to Storyboard the maps individual

also try playing with colors in them

for the rest

Normal
- 02:37:32 (1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - Seems odd how one combo is one slider and the rest is so long. Maybe make it four combos? Each having one slider and the circle at its end. In other words, remove New combo from 02:38:65 (1) and add it at 02:39:09 (2), 02:40:85 (4) and 02:42:62 (6). You can also try making two combos, by removing new combo from 02:38:65 (1) and adding one at 02:40:85 (4).
-02:49:68 (4) - Cool effect, but a bit much for Normal. Don't double the bpm, and instead halve the slider length. It sounds the same but is less wtf for the players!

Harder
- 01:10:51 (1), 02:22:32 (9) - Kind of a Finish spam here, maybe. Not sure, it's late at night.
- 02:14:38 (1,2,1,2) - You can't tell the sliders below the first sliders are sliders rather than circles. At the very least, make the slider paths be distinct.

The difficulty level in each map is a bit uneven though...are you sure you can't make the beginnings of hard and harder a bit more challenging, for example?

Some interesting patterns and storyboarding lead me to giving you my gold star.

Inherited timing sections use the previous non-inherited timing section as the basis for the 1x, 0.5x 2x BPM thing.

- Look at the previous posts (in the beginning), you see why its not centered

Gladi wrote:

Inherit (?)

- its a new timing point. If i keep thesame beatrate, i will have problems with it in the end.

Thx for your post Gladi, i wanna appologize for the bad english. Cya soon ^^ Gozah

Hard:
00:42:59 (4) - Seperate ending and start more
01:51:43 (1) - ^

Normal:
01:47:91 (1) - Seperate ending and start more


Hmm~
I'm not sure about the timing.

[Normal]
00:28:48 (1,2,1) - hitsounds?
00:42:60 (1) - separate the ends of the slider a bit more
00:58:81 (2) - id suggest moving these to the white ticks and also increasing the hit volume in this section a bit
01:30:25 (1,2) - this is perhaps the most elegent use of slider overlap i have ever seen
01:43:71 (7) - doesnt flow well from 6
02:21:44 (1) - hitsound this
02:19:68 (1,1) - after playing with your custom hitsounds a bit i think i like whistling every other note starting at the beginning of each slider and then finish at the end of the last one :3
02:31:37 (4) - new combo
02:49:68 (4) - whistle the end
(i LOVE your custom whistle can you tell?)


[Harder]
00:35:53 (1) - i would prefer the ends separated a bit more
00:42:59 (4) - ^
01:02:89 (2) - stack end under fading end of 8
01:45:69 (2) - imperfect stacking
01:51:43 (1) - separate the ends more
02:22:32 (8) - id like whistles instead of finishes + the finish at the end but thats just me fangirling your whistles
02:31:36 (4) - new combo
02:34:89 (8) - ^
02:43:06 (1,2,3) - have 2 and 3 make an equilateral triangle with the end of 1
02:45:93 (6) - can you move stuff around so this stacks under fading 2?
02:49:67 (1) - i dont really approve of the bpm increase here


[Hard]
i think the intro could use a bit more hitsound here
oh before i forget again: a note on inherited timing sections! they should happen slightly before the note they intend to affect! believe it!
01:23:64 (2) - doesnt flow well from 1
01:28:93 (2) - improper stacking
01:32:46 (2) - ^
01:44:81 (2) - doesnt flow well from 1
02:49:68 (1) - again i dont approve of bpm change
i think you may have too many breaks but w/e have a star yay

[Normal]
00:35:54 (1) - end 1/2 later?
00:40:83 (2,3,1) - start 1/2 later
01:47:91 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) - all the claps disappeared


[Hard]
00:42:59 (4) - slider start and end are too close to each other
01:36:87 (10) - delete and replace break
02:36:66 (1,2,3,4,5,6) - where'd all the claps go?


[Harder]
00:33:77 (7) - nice use of whistle :3
01:10:51 (1) - the first timing section of this is a bit quiet...i cant hear anything and its sharply different from the second
01:40:84 (1,2,3,4,5) - where'd the claps go? i like them
02:14:38 (1,2,1,2) - ^
02:51:22 (1) - whoa whoa this bpm change is COMPLETELY unintuitive

here have a star...again...and good luck!

Really cool map.

Ty, ty =D. Its one of my first maps, i hope it gets ranked some day...

Wow, cool SB and map.
And great work on hitsounds... Can I take this awesome custom hitsound, please?

[Normal]
00:41:05 (2) - Maybe place this note here 00:40:836?
00:41:93 (3) - And this note here 00:41:719?
00:42:82 (1) - Place here 00:42:601.

[Hard]
00:32:01 (3) - Custom hitsound on start?

[Harder]
00:44:80 (2,3) - Custom hitsound here.
02:15:71 (2) - Custom hitsound on end. Try it.

Oh. Awesome. Amazing. Ranked it.

Use this clap sample
It fits the song
Also
don`t let your drum sample overlape with the BGM drum,it sounds too loud
you can make more timing lines to ccontrol volumes
good map

Download: soft-hitclap.rar

Like everyone else said please get rid of the timing section at 14,363 because you only need a 1x part if you use inherited timing sections which you are not. Right now it is just extra code (sorry if that sounded harsh, not meant to)

Only nazi issues below

Normal:
01:00:69 (6) - align with 2
02:16:15 (9) - align with 8?

Hard:
01:20:54 (3,4) - make parallel to 1,2
02:05:77 (3,4) - make the spacing between these 2 the smae as the ones in the rest of the combo

Harder:
02:20:56 (3) - align with 2

Great map and sounds. Star.

Instant star for Armin van Buuren.

The low BPM countdown is a BRILLIANT touch. Best use of the countdown I've ever seen in a beatmap in just about forever.

I am not too fond personally of stack stream maps, but everything else is just so good about this combination that I will probably play it anyway.

Excellent job!

Very excellent map. I agree with Ephemeral on the countdown
Anyway, the storyboard is also great, and the timing is spot on.
Ranked. :>
