Column numbers enclosed in brackets mean a chord, e.g [124] would be a triple chord on the first, second and fourth columns
Mostly just pattern checks, I'll only do this for the SHD difficulty but they're things to consider for all of them.
(X)! Nope: 00:04:004 (4004|2,4004|1) - try to follow the pitch of the synth here, it's a repeating triplet where a correct pitch relevancy would be 432 432 etc
This is a hand balanced pattern. Left and right hand press. Also to avoid the repetitiveness like in your difficulty 00:23:547 (23547|3,24061|1) - holding an LN on one hand during a minijack is a bit rough considering the density. Something that would flow better would be to either move the minijack to the other hand (1 or 2 columns) or make the doubles on these sections on one hand, like [34] or [12]
Moving them will change the entire pattern in that pattern.OK! Fixed: 00:25:004 (25004|2,25090|2) - generally in fast 1/8 streams like these, you want to avoid a 'hidden' minijack as occurs here on the 3 column, since this significantly increases the difficulty of the pattern. a suggestion would be to mirror the placements of 00:25:090 (25090|2,25132|1) - so that it flows better on each hand
Rearranged but in different wayOK! Fixed: 00:25:432 (25432|2) - LN here on the 3 column is uncomfortable when you hit the 1/8 notes on the 4 column. suggest to move LN to 4 so the 1/8ths are 321, which are much more comfortable to hit
Removed the LN and focus on the strength of beat insteadOK! Fixed: 00:36:361 (36361|1,36404|2,36490|1,36575|2,36661|1,36704|2,36832|1,36918|2,37004|1,37090|2,37175|1,37261|2) - mirroring all of these would make the doubles more intuitive to hit, and make the 1/8th triplets more bearable.
Nice one~OK! Fixed: 00:36:318 (36318|0) - if you follow the above, move this note to 2 so that the 1/8th triplet here is 23[12], which is more comfortable to hit compared to 12[13] or 13[12]
OK! Fixed: 00:37:261 (37261|0,37432|1,37604|2) - mirror these so they are descending, this follows the pitch of the BG voice better. i know this makes the LN pattern repetitive, but that also emphasizes the presence of the voice better than on different columns
(X)! Nope: 00:42:747 (42747|1,42918|2,43090|1) - also the same
(X)! Nope: 00:45:490 (45490|2,45661|1,45832|2) - ^
since they are already on different columns, not repeated notes anymore. OK! Fixed: 00:47:375 (47375|2,47547|1,47718|3,47804|0) - these are all the same pitch, suggest to move them to the same column, or the same hand, like 1 and 2, or 3 and 4. I like how you did this with 00:47:890 (47890|3,48061|2) -
Moved but the third and fourth LN note synths have different pitch, not like the 1st two synth which are really the same.00:48:232 (48232|3,48490|2) - the synth you layer as LN also plays on these rhythms (and in later repeats). would be nice to layer those, maybe as more LNs or more notes
OK! Fixed: 00:50:547 (50547|0) - in the case you reject the above, adding a LN here (and on later repeats) to the synth notes here
followed this suggestion instead(X)! Nope: 00:58:175 (58175|3,58218|2,58261|1,58518|0,58561|1,58604|2) - this is a very rough pattern, though it fits the layering. a suggestion would be to remove one of the notes in the triple so it would look like this
http://puu.sh/9cHWp.png (you can ignore this if you want to follow the layer more strictly)
The triple/3-noted notes are for emphasizing the strength of cymbals+melody+beatsound. Since this is SHD I'll keep it.OK! Fixed: 00:59:804 (59804|2) - remove LN here and on other repetitions. the synth note extends from the offbeat into this interval, there is no new pitch/note here
changed all into single/short notes.(X)! Nope: 01:04:004 (64004|0,64004|3,64090|1,64090|2,64175|1,64175|0,64261|3,64261|2,64347|0,64347|2) - minijacks here are forced and rough to hit. suggest to shorten the LNs and make a double trill like [14][23][14][23][14] or [34][12][34][12][34] (the 2nd one would be preferred as the doubles are on one hand)
I strictly followed the length of that LN synth sound.01:08:461 (68461|3,68461|0,68547|1,68547|2,68632|0,68632|1) - same as above
^(X)! Nope: 01:09:661 (69661|3,69661|0,69704|1,69747|2,69790|1,69832|2) - minitrill is tough to hit considering there are LNs at the same time. suggest to move the LN to column 1 and make the 1/8ths go [14]234[12]. this flows better
There's an LN to column 1 after these notes and it will overlapOK! Fixed: 01:16:261 (76261|3) - remove this. it doesn't go to the synth you're layering here and creates a forced minijack on the 4 column
OK! Fixed: 01:31:347 (91347|3) - ^ the other minijacks in this section go to either the synth or the percussion, this doesn't go to any sound
OK! Fixed: 01:36:832 (96832|3) - ^
OK! Fixed: 01:42:318 (102318|3) - ^
(X)! Nope: 01:42:747 (102747|3,102747|0,102747|2) - follow pitch relevancy here like in beginning
previous reason stated01:54:404 (114404|1) - the synth you layer as LN here follows the same rhythm as the section beforehand (damnit Jea stop copy pasting your music) so i'd use the same rhythms here too. it'd make it denser (and harder lolol) alternatively, you could remove the LN on 01:54:747 (114747|2) - this rhythm since it's not as loud there
No change in these parts. All of LN selected are for the synth with different patterns to avoid repetitiveness.OK! Fixed: 01:56:118 (116118|1,116118|2,116290|2,116375|1,116461|1) - flip this horizontally so the double minijack is on [34] which is more comfortable to hit
OK! Fixed: 01:58:861 (118861|1,118861|2,119032|1,119118|2,119204|2) - ^
OK! Fixed: 02:07:090 (127090|1,127090|2,127261|2,127347|1,127432|1) - ^
great suggestion~OK! Fixed: 02:11:461 (131461|2,131461|3,131547|0,131547|3) - try to vary the patterns for the doubles in this section more, it'll be a lot better to hit that way. if you choose to do so, a good tip for patterning would be to keep the minijacks created by the varied double patterns so that they alternate each hand.
example would be [12][34] [14][23] [24][13]. the minijack from [34] to [14] is on the right hand, and the minijack from [23] to [24] is on the left hand. the jack patterns are much more comfortable to hit this way
Rearranged with some additional reversed,left,right patternsOK! Fixed: 02:10:518 (130518|3) - i know you're trying to be consistent with the layering here, but this makes this section a lot harder than it needs to be. the clap you're adding an extra note to is barely audible over the 1/4 bass drum.
Removed :v02:13:175 (133175|1,133261|1,133347|1) - ^ This last section is very tough to hit in relation to the speed, and the patterns are extremely easy to slip up on. Staiain can attest to the playability of the patterns. Pattern these 1/8ths so that they can be hit as offset doubles or rolls, such as 1234 1243 2134 etc. These are much more comfortable and playable patterns that split 350 bpm streams with hidden 3 note 1/4 minijacks.
No change here. Personal pattern I can say and its not tough though. (I bet Stai can hit these notes as I can hit most of it.) 02:18:404 (138404|3,138404|2,138404|1) - 1/8 streams into a triple chord is brutal. This creates a 1/4 minijack on 3 column and is a very rough transition. three notes is more than necessary for this sound. take out one of the LNs and make the double on [34] Example:
http://puu.sh/9cJDF.png 2 notes is enough to satisfy the layering you use here, and is a lot more comfortable to hit.
There are no more streams in this part. This is the last/final instrument and just same as previous notes 1/4 minijack before these LNs. No change.On a side note, I know this seems a bit offensive etc. but I whipped up my own map in about half an hour to help you out with the rhythms on some sections, and examples of how to pattern the 1/8ths at the end so they are friendly to hit.
