I like you.
I will elaborate on those in a little while when I get pictures up. You are correct. Offbeat/upbeat sliders can be used and used well. They are dangerous because if you accidentally put the slider end off of a key note, such as the downbeat, it causes the entire rhythm to mess up.NatsumeRin wrote:
the description of upbeat sliders exactly expressed my feeling about it.
But i can't agree "downbeat sliders are especially dangerous" because we have many places to use it such as:
1. For a rhythm change, to make a variety feeling for players.
2. Using "every hit is on vocal" (circles and slider-starts) technique to map.
3. Because of placements or some other reasons.
Anyway just say it's dangerous is... strange.
Edit: "Short slider is a bad idea." NO.

It’s common knowledge that when playing the bass line with any instrument, you can make up almost any rhythm and play any note so long as you play the downbeat in every measure in key.

I always thought this would come naturally to mappers, but after remembering some of the maps i've seen lately, i think most mappers def. should read this.

First we need a way to force users to read the EULA.akrolsmir wrote:

FYI your maps aren't perfect to me, but they're not unbearable, which is a good thing. You also like mapping lyrics which is really hard, so I don't complain much (you'll just probably never get a 9 or 10 rating from me, and I've probably only given out like 20-30).Ekaru wrote:

...Much to everybody's annoyance. <3
Though, why don't we have a thread full of links to the threads new mappers/modders should read at least? There are like a dozen+ now, and you could put it in Pending as an Announcement thread. You could call it a "mapper's/modder's resource".
In music, syncopation includes a variety of rhythms which are in some way unexpected in that they deviate from the strict succession of regularly spaced strong and weak but also powerful beats in a meter (pulse). These include a stress on a normally unstressed beat or a rest where one would normally be stressed. "If a part of the measure that is usually unstressed is accented, the rhythm is considered to be syncopated."Upbeat sliders
that song is just like any other song with an unusually loud backbeak. The lyrics do not stress the backbeat, they stress every 3/4 beat, starting on the downbeat.Equivalent wrote:

YES thank you so muchEquivalent wrote:
This is what I like to call them. Sliders which start on beat 4 have a serious problem associated with them: if it’s a 1/1 slider, it will end on the downbeat. That leaves the downbeat unstressed, and can be awkward to play, especially when repeated.
