- Do not use a volume above 80% for every sound because it has an impact sound on the default sample, instead use a standard volume below 70%.
- A mapper must estimate their own rules in determining the volume level.
- Make sure the hitsound you made is followed the sound well. There is no need to be perfect hitsounds (no one is perfect). As long the hitsound is audible and used in all the samples.
- Gathering feedback from your friends. They likely will help you with feedback!
