2017-06-06 17:43 Mykaterasu: so lets start
2017-06-06 17:43 Mykaterasu: At first glance the timing seems inprecise
2017-06-06 17:44 Mykaterasu: 01:35:955 - this timing point is fatally late if I remember correctly
2017-06-06 17:44 Mykaterasu: early*
2017-06-06 17:45 dkingo: yea it's about 1/8 early
2017-06-06 17:45 dkingo: will fix it
2017-06-06 17:46 Mykaterasu: I don't like how you've done the intro
2017-06-06 17:46 Mykaterasu: 00:07:644 (7644|3,7644|0,7644|2) - these 3 note chords don't really fit the music
2017-06-06 17:46 Mykaterasu: since there's nothing being accented here
2017-06-06 17:46 Mykaterasu: it's just that this is the highest pitch in the intro
2017-06-06 17:46 Mykaterasu: that should be accented with lane jumps and pitch relevancy
2017-06-06 17:47 Mykaterasu: likewise 00:09:311 (9311|3,9311|1,9311|2) - these chords can only be justifiable as 2 note chords
2017-06-06 17:48 dkingo: i have talk about this with other modders
2017-06-06 17:48 Mykaterasu: sure
2017-06-06 17:48 dkingo: i will reduse some chord, but will also keep some triple
2017-06-06 17:48 Mykaterasu: 00:33:311 - this interlude section feels too prevalent
2017-06-06 17:48 Mykaterasu: mostly because it's the hardest section in the song
2017-06-06 17:48 dkingo: if they have some different strenth
2017-06-06 17:49 Mykaterasu: if they do have different strength, you can change the volume of each note individually
2017-06-06 17:49 Mykaterasu: if I was mapping this I'd never have a triple in that section
2017-06-06 17:49 Mykaterasu: just feels like overkill in a calm section
2017-06-06 17:49 dkingo: hmm...
2017-06-06 17:49 dkingo: sounds right
2017-06-06 17:50 Mykaterasu: there's a 1/4 hihat in the kiai
2017-06-06 17:50 Mykaterasu: so you could have 1/4th streams in the chorus
2017-06-06 17:50 dkingo: 00:33:311 - do you have any suggestion of this part?
2017-06-06 17:50 Mykaterasu: and that would fix the difficulty spike at the start
2017-06-06 17:50 Mykaterasu: because it equalises
2017-06-06 17:51 Mykaterasu: yeah
2017-06-06 17:51 Mykaterasu: ?
2017-06-06 17:51 dkingo: if i just don't use chords in this part?
2017-06-06 17:51 Mykaterasu: you don't need to change that part
2017-06-06 17:51 dkingo: seems it's too hard because of doubles
2017-06-06 17:51 Mykaterasu: it's just that in the context of the whole song it's too hard
2017-06-06 17:51 Mykaterasu: if you made the song harder it would be appropriate
2017-06-06 17:52 Mykaterasu: so I suggested adding the 1/4th hihat in the chorus'
2017-06-06 17:52 Mykaterasu: which makes everything more succinct
2017-06-06 17:52 dkingo: that will be too hard i think
2017-06-06 17:52 Mykaterasu: if you want to change that part and keep the chorus the same, that's fine
2017-06-06 17:53 dkingo: yea i dont want to overmap the chorus
2017-06-06 17:53 Mykaterasu: well it's not overmapping if the hihat is actually there
2017-06-06 17:53 Mykaterasu: but that's just me
2017-06-06 17:53 Mykaterasu: either way you could make that section like 05:03:985 - this one
2017-06-06 17:54 dkingo: i will consider it
2017-06-06 17:54 Mykaterasu: you shouldn't really be ignoring the left lane 00:43:978 - here
2017-06-06 17:54 Mykaterasu: without a really good structural or pattern reason
2017-06-06 17:54 dkingo: the doubles were are for guitar, but i can delete them if they are undecessary
2017-06-06 17:54 Mykaterasu: because you get stuff like this 00:44:478 (44478|3,44644|3,44811|3,44978|3,45144|3) -
2017-06-06 17:55 Mykaterasu: and yeah it's a sacrifice in one direction or another
2017-06-06 17:55 Mykaterasu: that's just how 4k goes
2017-06-06 17:55 Mykaterasu: not enough space to give everything the perfect difficulty
2017-06-06 17:55 dkingo: yep
2017-06-06 17:56 dkingo: will adjust it a bit
2017-06-06 17:56 Mykaterasu: it felt weird to play the same motif in multiple ways
2017-06-06 17:56 Mykaterasu: namely 01:11:978 (71978|2,72144|1,72478|1,72644|0,72978|0,73144|2,73478|2,73644|3) - this
2017-06-06 17:56 Mykaterasu: vs 01:33:343 (93343|2,93505|2,93829|0,93991|0,94315|1,94478|1,94802|3,94964|3) -
2017-06-06 17:56 Mykaterasu: something minor
2017-06-06 17:57 Mykaterasu: just think those themes should be similar to make the whole map more consistant
2017-06-06 17:57 Mykaterasu: 01:33:343 (93343|2) - and you could map these more accurately
2017-06-06 17:57 dkingo: will adjust them as well
2017-06-06 17:57 Mykaterasu: instead of just normal 1/2
2017-06-06 17:57 Mykaterasu: you can map it like you did at the end
2017-06-06 17:58 Mykaterasu: oh yeah and when you're doing the variable bpm
2017-06-06 17:58 Mykaterasu: try to adjust it by decimals
2017-06-06 17:58 Mykaterasu: most of the time whole numbers just aren't accurate enough
2017-06-06 17:59 Mykaterasu: and a multi/variable map with only whole number bpms is usually wrong like 95% of the time
2017-06-06 17:59 dkingo: will check the bpm later
2017-06-06 17:59 Mykaterasu: I suggest looking at the buildup section 01:22:644 (82644|0,82644|3) - here
2017-06-06 17:59 dkingo: can't see anything wrong at the first look
2017-06-06 17:59 Mykaterasu: it's not wrong
2017-06-06 18:00 Mykaterasu: but while the song continually builds up nothing is really changing
2017-06-06 18:00 Mykaterasu: you could probably manipulate the lanes a little to better represent the building intensity
2017-06-06 18:00 Mykaterasu: without changing note density
2017-06-06 18:00 Mykaterasu: maybe start using repeated lanes
2017-06-06 18:01 Mykaterasu: similar to 00:50:644 -
2017-06-06 18:01 dkingo: let's see
2017-06-06 18:01 Mykaterasu: 02:43:954 - this bit felt very inaccurate
2017-06-06 18:02 dkingo: i didn't want to use jacks in this part
2017-06-06 18:02 Mykaterasu: something with the bpm/offset might need to change
2017-06-06 18:02 Mykaterasu: I don't really call 1/2s in the same lane jacks
2017-06-06 18:02 Mykaterasu: so I guess thats a theology difference
2017-06-06 18:02 dkingo: yep
2017-06-06 18:02 Mykaterasu: but if I was mapping this
2017-06-06 18:03 Mykaterasu: I'd gradually introduce 1/2 jacks more an more
2017-06-06 18:03 Mykaterasu: as it builds up
2017-06-06 18:03 dkingo: i will consider it as well
2017-06-06 18:03 Mykaterasu: oh speaking of jacks
2017-06-06 18:03 dkingo: i mapped it at different times so my mind would change
2017-06-06 18:03 Mykaterasu: 03:53:538 (233538|2,233538|3,233538|1,233621|1,233621|0) -
2017-06-06 18:04 Mykaterasu: I don't think this is appropriate in the context of the whole map
2017-06-06 18:04 Mykaterasu: 03:35:121 (215121|0,215163|1) - stuff like this can be attributed to flair
2017-06-06 18:04 Mykaterasu: but a jack like that should really be in the entire map or not at all
2017-06-06 18:04 Mykaterasu: imo
2017-06-06 18:05 Mykaterasu: mostly because you've had really clean triples and doubles up until then
2017-06-06 18:05 Mykaterasu: it would be a breach of design
2017-06-06 18:05 dkingo: true
2017-06-06 18:06 dkingo: i will map them again as jacks
2017-06-06 18:06 Mykaterasu: 04:05:121 (245121|3,245163|2,245204|1,245246|0) - this glissando would be better if it was left to right
2017-06-06 18:06 Mykaterasu: so that it's pitch relevant
2017-06-06 18:07 Mykaterasu: and it starts 04:04:954 - here
2017-06-06 18:07 dkingo: i was wondering if it clashes with the lastest note
2017-06-06 18:08 Mykaterasu: you can still do a pitch relevant solution
2017-06-06 18:08 dkingo: i wouldn't map it so long even it really starts there
2017-06-06 18:08 Mykaterasu: [http://puu.sh/wcDxl/bf1c11f99d.png like so]
2017-06-06 18:09 dkingo: but i want to keep that triple
2017-06-06 18:09 dkingo: it feels weird when a strong drum beat goes with double then there's a piano glissando
2017-06-06 18:10 dkingo: but how about 1/6? i think it would be fine
2017-06-06 18:10 Mykaterasu: you could do [http://puu.sh/wcDEn/02c899d677.png this too]
2017-06-06 18:11 Mykaterasu: glissando can be any division
2017-06-06 18:11 Mykaterasu: but I think 1/6 is slightly too slow to achieve the effect
2017-06-06 18:11 dkingo: i will apply this pattern
2017-06-06 18:12 dkingo: seems ok for me
2017-06-06 18:13 Mykaterasu: 04:36:652 (276652|1,276652|0,276736|2,276819|3) - I think instead of double single single, double double single might be more appropriate
2017-06-06 18:13 Mykaterasu: [http://puu.sh/wcDPj/7571ae6aff.jpg like so]
2017-06-06 18:14 Mykaterasu: gives a little more kick to the offbeat snare
2017-06-06 18:14 dkingo: sounds right
2017-06-06 18:15 dkingo: will take a look at the whole part again
2017-06-06 18:15 Mykaterasu: oh yeah I had an idea for the buildup 01:22:644 - here
2017-06-06 18:15 Mykaterasu: if you wanted to you could have an increasing SV
2017-06-06 18:16 Mykaterasu: as long as you make the change from high to low seamless and pleasant to play
2017-06-06 18:16 Mykaterasu: a slow ramp back to 1.00x would be a good way to not change that section
2017-06-06 18:16 Mykaterasu: but get the build in the map another way
2017-06-06 18:16 dkingo: SV wasn't part of my plan
2017-06-06 18:16 dkingo: but i can do some light SVs
2017-06-06 18:17 Mykaterasu: doesn't need to be major to change how the section is read
2017-06-06 18:17 dkingo: also will do jacks here as well
2017-06-06 18:17 Mykaterasu: but slow enough to be noticable
2017-06-06 18:17 Mykaterasu: to be honest most of the patterns are clean
2017-06-06 18:17 Mykaterasu: so not much to correct
2017-06-06 18:18 dkingo: i will do the SV
2017-06-06 18:18 Mykaterasu: other than stylistic decision
2017-06-06 18:18 dkingo: yep i'll try to unify my patterns
2017-06-06 18:18 Mykaterasu: I think that's everything
2017-06-06 18:19 dkingo: thank you so much <3
