2014-09-08 11:35 -Iz: heya, came across your map while randomly browsing through the forums. you okay with a quick irc mod? im a new modder sooo might not really be of any much help hahah
2014-09-08 11:35 Thundawave: Sure! Anything helps. :p
2014-09-08 11:36 -Iz: alright, i'll just say a few issues that i see, first your timing seems to be a bit off
2014-09-08 11:37 -Iz: you can try bpm: 95 and offset at 2571
2014-09-08 11:37 Thundawave: Thanks!
2014-09-08 11:37 -Iz: also, your easy difficulty spread of uhh 3/3/3/3 might be a bit too high
2014-09-08 11:38 -Iz: theres also inconsistent distance snapping, some are at 1.2, some are at 1
2014-09-08 11:38 -Iz: might want to keep it consistent for easy
2014-09-08 11:38 Thundawave: Ah ok
2014-09-08 11:38 Thundawave: Lemme check them
2014-09-08 11:39 -Iz: like for this you have a distance of a 1.45 jump which is quite sudden 00:26:571 (1,2) -
2014-09-08 11:40 -Iz: oh and you might want to consider adding a kiai?
2014-09-08 11:41 Thundawave: Can you please tell me how to do that? I saw the box but it was faded out o.o
2014-09-08 11:41 -Iz: this might also be a bit hard for an easy 00:54:360 (1,2,3,4,5,6) -
2014-09-08 11:43 Thundawave: Thanks! Got that fixed
2014-09-08 11:43 Thundawave: Does resnapping all the notes help with the jump problem?
2014-09-08 11:43 -Iz: overall you should probably keep an eye on the distance snap and the flow in easy
2014-09-08 11:43 Thundawave: Like the button in Timing?
2014-09-08 11:43 -Iz: nope thats for the beats?
2014-09-08 11:43 Thundawave: Oh ok
2014-09-08 11:44 -Iz: at around 36 seconds i feel the break is unnecessary but thats up to you
2014-09-08 11:47 Thundawave: Ok thanks!
2014-09-08 11:47 Thundawave: Made some changes
2014-09-08 11:47 Thundawave: Reuploading Easy
2014-09-08 11:47 -Iz: oh and for your tags, stuff like "mew" "melody of light" and others already listed above dont have to be included in them
2014-09-08 11:48 -Iz: generally your normal feels a lot better
2014-09-08 11:48 Thundawave: Thanks!
2014-09-08 11:48 Thundawave: I usually play on Normal right now so maybe that's why XD
2014-09-08 11:48 -Iz: still some parts regarding distance snap, try to keep it consistent too
2014-09-08 11:49 -Iz: you can also consider some unique slider shapes/patterns to keep them from being too boring
2014-09-08 11:52 Thundawave: Thanks!
2014-09-08 11:52 -Iz: hmm is it just the nature of the song or does the mp3 end really abruptly?
2014-09-08 11:52 -Iz: not really a huge problem though
2014-09-08 11:52 Thundawave: I think it's the song
2014-09-08 11:52 -Iz: but alright thats as much as i can help with D:
2014-09-08 11:52 -Iz: good luck~
2014-09-08 11:53 Thundawave: I got it straight from YouTube if you'd like to check XD
2014-09-08 11:53 Thundawave: Thanks!
2014-09-08 11:55 -Iz: ahh i see
2014-09-08 11:55 -Iz: thats where your bg is from too right? you might want to consider sourcing a higher quality one though
2014-09-08 11:55 -Iz: kinda pixelated
2014-09-08 11:58 -Iz: careful when you resnap from timing menu, you have some overlaps now XD
2014-09-08 11:58 -Iz: 00:36:676 (3,4) -
2014-09-08 11:59 Thundawave: D:
2014-09-08 11:59 -Iz: just recheck it through manually everytime you resnap
2014-09-08 12:00 -Iz: since the resnapping is done by the comp, might not always be accurate haha
2014-09-08 12:00 Thundawave: Done
2014-09-08 12:00 Thundawave: It probably didn't like that one was on a quarter beat
2014-09-08 12:00 -Iz: ahaha alright
2014-09-08 12:01 Thundawave: Getting it back up
2014-09-08 12:01 -Iz: now wait for more experienced modders to help you probably
2014-09-08 12:01 Thundawave: Thanks though!
2014-09-08 12:01 Thundawave: Those hitsounds 8D
2014-09-08 12:02 Thundawave: Hopefully they'll help with those lol
2014-09-08 12:03 -Iz: yeah i have no ideas on hitsounding ahah im learning to map too
2014-09-08 12:06 -Iz: this sounds nicer with a slider imo (in easy) 01:19:623 (1) -

Good luck!

Just a quick reply


Maybe use soft hitsounds, cause you follow the voice and there you do not really need that much drums. if you want to add some drums you can use the clap or take a hitsound you like from another map (that's what I do)
And the volume is a bit too loud o:
You can both change in the timing menu


Can I try to map a hard/ insane?

1. remove silence from start/end of mp3
2. fix timing. offset should be much later

1. 00:36:676 - map this part
2. 01:20:269 - add note
3. 01:25:637 (2) - remove
4. 01:33:216 (2) - remove
5. 01:34:479 - add note
6. timing is off at last section

1. 00:31:939 - add note
2. 00:35:097 - add note
3. 00:36:676 - map this part lightly
4. 00:46:781 (1) - too long
5. 00:50:255 (5) - remove
6. 01:01:005 - add note
7. 01:20:584 - need something here
8. 01:28:795 - add note
9. 01:33:848 - add note
10. 01:48:674 - spinner end here

General

Remove melody of light song from the Tags, it's already in the metadata, like in the Song title field.
Add cover to Tags, as this is not the original version
Remove Vocaloid from the Source, this is not a valid source, furthermore vocaloid is already in the tags
Artist isn't Mew. Mew is a software, an instrument used. It's in the ranking criteria as well that Vocaloid shouldn't be used as an artist anymore.
Artist should be Kajiura Yuki, who composed this song for Kalafina.
The Background Image is so blurred, please find one of a better scale and size so that it fits the dimension of the game and is clear

Are you sure you need that many red timing points, having just one at the start should be more than enough

Some general comments on the difficulties

Drum hitsounds all the way in this song sounds weird

Normal

01:01:978 (1) - avoid shapes like these, they look very deformed and not pretty
01:07:031 (5,6) - keep spacing constant, it looks more refined that way, especially for Normal and below

Easy

00:44:294 (3,1) - Try and avoid overlaps like this
01:09:557 (1) - sounds like this in music deserve the soft hitsound finish sound
patterns need to flow together more and look more structured


Good Luck in your first attempt. Look at more maps and see how maps are made with more structure
