21:01 HibikiDesu: hello
21:01 HibikiDesu: are you there?
21:02 Smolboi: ye
21:02 HibikiDesu: would you mind checking out my latest map and telling me what you think?
21:02 Smolboi: sure
21:02 Smolboi: np it
21:03 *HibikiDesu is editing [https://osu.ppy.sh/b/1283284 cillia - FIRST [LAST]]
21:03 HibikiDesu: i want it to be about 6* when its done
21:03 HibikiDesu: maybe a bit higher
21:03 Smolboi: nice diffname
21:03 HibikiDesu: does it work?
21:03 HibikiDesu: i think its appropriate
21:05 Smolboi: plis no spectater totts
21:05 HibikiDesu: sorry does it lag you?
21:05 HibikiDesu: oops
21:05 Smolboi: don't look at how overinflated my rank is for how bad my aim is
21:05 Smolboi: :^(
21:05 HibikiDesu: dont even talk to me about that
21:05 HibikiDesu: do you know how bad my aim is for my rank?
21:05 HibikiDesu: lol
21:06 HibikiDesu: i get beat on NM maps by like 20ks if im on a bad day
21:06 Smolboi: you forgot to remove the watermark in the picture
21:06 HibikiDesu: yeah but it will take work and im bad at editing photos like that
21:06 Smolboi: give me 2 minutes
21:07 HibikiDesu:
21:07 HibikiDesu: really?
21:09 Smolboi:
http://imgur.com/a/WeEsC21:09 HibikiDesu: owo thank you
21:10 Smolboi: 00:16:496 (1) - wouldn't bother with a spinner, there's no incomming sound anyway
21:10 Smolboi: 00:23:285 (3) - give me a minutes, i'll show you how to do good squiggles
21:10 HibikiDesu: rip spinner
21:12 HibikiDesu: 00:43:022 (1,2,3,4) - does this work or would a different pattern like repeating 1/4 sliders work better?
21:12 HibikiDesu: 01:01:969 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - is my only other unsure section. i was going for a cool expanding pattern feel but it might be too hard to read
21:13 Smolboi: 00:43:022 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,1) - yes this is finr
21:13 Smolboi: fine
21:14 Smolboi: 01:01:969 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - no this is not fine
21:14 HibikiDesu: rip
21:14 Smolboi: it looks deformed
21:14 Smolboi: like it has down syndrome
21:14 HibikiDesu: lol
21:14 Smolboi: it needs assistance in school
21:14 Smolboi: and is not eligable for a diploma
21:14 HibikiDesu: damn
21:15 Smolboi: if that pattern went to school and tried to get a degree
21:15 Smolboi: it would instead get a certificate of compleation
21:15 Smolboi: so yeah
21:15 Smolboi: uh
21:15 Smolboi: change it to something that isn't worse than the holocaust
21:16 HibikiDesu: lol
21:16 Smolboi: 01:05:917 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) -
21:16 Smolboi: it just keeps happening
21:16 Smolboi: we can't escape
21:16 HibikiDesu: sorry, i like that pattern
21:16 HibikiDesu: the drum hits are on the bottom notes
21:17 HibikiDesu: it has reason behind its use this time
21:17 Smolboi: well, atleast you have a favorite
21:17 HibikiDesu: i liked the downward motion to hit the snares
21:17 HibikiDesu: i used some blanket sliders :^)
21:17 HibikiDesu: i really like how they flow with the section of music
21:17 Smolboi: i see that
21:18 Smolboi:
http://i.imgur.com/xFcJdRW.png21:19 Smolboi: this is how you aquiggle slider
21:19 Smolboi: need to work on that blanketing around the squiggles anyways
21:20 HibikiDesu: i was just doing the squiggle based on how i remember it
21:20 HibikiDesu: i dont use them that often so mine are bad lol
21:20 Smolboi: yeah
21:20 HibikiDesu: can you show the slider points please?
21:20 Smolboi: don't listen to other mappers on how to do squiggles
21:20 Smolboi: oh
21:20 Smolboi: oops
21:22 Smolboi:
http://i.imgur.com/H142Nro.png21:23 Smolboi: use approach circles
21:23 Smolboi: they are your friends
21:23 HibikiDesu: ok
21:23 Smolboi: don't listen to other mappers on how to do squiggles
21:23 Smolboi: everyone does them wrong but me
21:24 HibikiDesu: lol
21:24 Smolboi: 00:34:022 (5) - now sound on this
21:24 Smolboi: no
21:24 Smolboi: fucjisao can i type todays pls sdasdfasdg
21:26 HibikiDesu: typing fast is not allowed
21:26 Smolboi: in general i would keep spacing down in the beginning
21:26 Smolboi: like at 00:31:496 (5,1,2,3) -
21:26 Smolboi: and 00:33:864 (4,5,1,2,3) -
21:26 Smolboi: like, singletaps instead of jumps
21:27 Smolboi: helps to keep a good contrast between kiai and normal sections
21:27 HibikiDesu: well i havent mapped the kiai yet
21:27 HibikiDesu: i used a 4.0 spacing on the snare hits in the second section of the beginning
21:27 HibikiDesu: does it work or is it too much?
21:28 HibikiDesu: i wanted to add emphasis on the snare hits
21:28 Smolboi: example pls
21:29 HibikiDesu: 00:44:601 (3,6) -
21:29 HibikiDesu: and all of the hits on 2 and 4 counts after that
21:30 Smolboi: the snare is really frequent so i wouldn't emphasize it that much
21:30 Smolboi: overuse of emphasis makes it not emphasis anymore
21:31 Smolboi: if everything is emphasized then nothing is
21:31 HibikiDesu: well its the repeating pattern i wanted to use in that section
21:31 Smolboi: i think shiirn is rubbing off on me
21:31 Smolboi: help
21:31 Smolboi: i sound like a jackass
21:31 HibikiDesu: lol
21:31 HibikiDesu: nah, you're pretty helpful
21:31 Smolboi: i've been modding and talking a ton with him recently so aaaaaaaaaaaa
21:32 HibikiDesu: im still learning and experimenting with stuff
21:32 Smolboi: saaaaaaame
21:32 HibikiDesu: i need to know what works and what doesntr
21:32 HibikiDesu: i think this one is turning out pretty well, just some small stuff so far (except for you know what)
21:32 HibikiDesu: lol
21:33 Smolboi: you seem to overdo spacing emphasis though
21:33 Smolboi: and then alot of sections feel kind of freehanded as a result
21:34 Smolboi: my recomendation would be to just stick to DS a little more and emphasize less
21:34 Smolboi: it'll make your maps feel more tight as a result
21:35 HibikiDesu: i mean, i did make sure that the spacing was consistent
21:35 HibikiDesu: at least in terms of groups of notes
21:35 HibikiDesu: like when i used the 2.0 3.0 and 4.0
21:35 HibikiDesu: is that not considered consisten spacing?
21:35 Smolboi: again, the frequent spacing emphasis makes it seem like the notes are at random spacings
21:37 HibikiDesu: 01:04:496 (1) - from here on is better right?
21:37 HibikiDesu: at least in those terms
21:37 Smolboi: yes that is one of the tighter sections
21:38 Smolboi: notes like 01:05:601 (5) - 01:08:128 (5) - 01:10:654 (5) - would work better as sliders
21:38 Smolboi: covers the gaps nicely
21:40 Smolboi: oh my god
21:40 Smolboi: 01:01:969 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) - THESE ARE TRAPEZOIDS TOO
21:41 HibikiDesu: hehe
21:41 HibikiDesu: i actually just changed that part
21:42 Smolboi: 00:44:284 (1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3,4,5,6,1,2,3,4,5,6) - what exactly are the sliders emphasizing
21:43 HibikiDesu: they are mapped to the upbeat where the vocal is stressed
21:43 HibikiDesu: i wanted to make it so that it wasnt just constant 1/2 circles
21:43 Smolboi: interesting
21:44 HibikiDesu: i found it to be a nice repeating pattern for tapping
21:44 HibikiDesu: that also allowed me to map the sounds i wanted
21:44 Smolboi: then this one doesn't really fit then does it 00:49:022 (6) -
21:44 Smolboi: also theres no strong sound on that tail
21:44 HibikiDesu: if i was gonna use highish spacing, i wanted a repeating pattern to make it easier to read
21:44 Smolboi: idk why you put a clap on it
21:45 HibikiDesu: im not allowed to add my own drum part?
21:45 HibikiDesu: i liked how the second clasp sounded
21:45 Smolboi: could put an extended slider
21:45 Smolboi: would better reflect the rythym and would add some variation
21:46 HibikiDesu: please explain
21:46 HibikiDesu: what do you mean by extended?
21:46 Smolboi: 3/4 with a note at the end
21:46 HibikiDesu: oh i see
21:47 HibikiDesu: that would cause me to lose the drum hit i liked though
21:47 HibikiDesu: idk, is making up your own drum parts a bad thing?
21:47 Smolboi: not necicarily, but alot of people look down on it
21:47 HibikiDesu: i thought it was a nice sound that kind of showed the section was repeating
21:48 Smolboi: 01:04:496 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,1,2,3,4,5,6) - in general i would like to see more of this
21:48 HibikiDesu: wait actually i think i know
21:48 HibikiDesu: i have the snare hit from my skin
21:48 HibikiDesu: its like an actual snare drum
21:49 HibikiDesu: ill put it in as a custom hitsound later
21:49 Smolboi: you can make up for the odd, consistant rythym by making it more pattern based like this
21:49 HibikiDesu: i updated the map
21:49 HibikiDesu: i changed "the section"
21:49 Smolboi: that would make emphasized notes stand out more ny breaking the pattern
21:49 HibikiDesu: i gtg for a bit so just take a look and tell me stuff
21:49 Smolboi: k
21:49 HibikiDesu: ill repsond when i get back in a few minutes
21:50 Smolboi: ok i'll just write some general thoughts
21:51 Smolboi: Clean up blanketing and the general slide shapes of the squiggles, shit looks ugly yo
21:52 Smolboi: use less spacing emphasis, as overuse defeats the purpose of spacing emphasis in the first place
21:54 Smolboi: Try to organize things in a more pattern based way like at 01:04:496 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,6,7) - in order to keep things clean, given how unclear the rythym is
21:55 Smolboi: that would help to make up for the rythym and to make pattern-breaking notes with the intent of emphasis more, emphasizing
21:56 Smolboi: also find a few more slider shapes, espicily if you do make it more patten based, otherwise it will end up being boring as fuuuuuck
21:56 HibikiDesu: back
21:57 HibikiDesu: and i was planning on changing the slider shapes in the kiai section
21:57 HibikiDesu: since its a different part of the music
21:57 HibikiDesu: also i gtg for the night so could you quickly give me some feedback on the changes i made to 01:01:969 (1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4) -
21:57 Smolboi: i noticed you map more like a player than a mapper
21:58 Smolboi: you don't really think in patterns, you think in spacing any rhythyms
21:58 HibikiDesu: is that a bad thing?
21:59 Smolboi: no, it's just an observation
21:59 Smolboi: i think it's important that you get a split perspective when it comes to mapping
21:59 HibikiDesu: i guess i am just mapping how i like to play
