21:23 Skylish: heyo~ banana, wanna have a quick maptest for me?
21:27 Skylish: WIP, just check whether the style is fine or not.
21:27 *Skylish is listening to [https://osu.ppy.sh/b/913970 Sawai Miku - Colorful |Asterisk Remix|]
21:27 Skylish: leave your comment here and I am going to have a shower.
21:50 bananannian: hiiiiiii \o
21:50 bananannian: first of all
21:50 bananannian: ...why another colorful asterisk remix map
21:50 bananannian: this song seems to be really popular lol
21:55 Skylish: lol
21:55 Skylish: no taiko mapset yet.
21:55 bananannian: so drum & bass
21:55 bananannian: consists of:
21:56 Skylish: time to have some good music to map. *yes...
21:56 bananannian: drums + vocals + any other sound effects
21:56 bananannian: super simple
21:56 bananannian: which is why people tell beginner mappers to map dnb
21:56 bananannian: (that or anime OP/EDs lol)
21:56 Skylish: yeah, some call that TV size
21:57 bananannian: there's a very easy formula for dnb in taiko
21:57 bananannian: d = bass kick, k = snare
21:57 bananannian: add in patterns in there to reflect the vocals + sfx
21:57 bananannian: done
21:58 Skylish: LOL -.- really that simple.
21:58 bananannian: so according to that formula, 00:01:047 (3,4) - switch
21:58 bananannian: and the next few bars do the same thing
21:59 bananannian: but this is only if you want to follow that formula
21:59 bananannian: d_k__kdkd is ok too
21:59 bananannian: but if so you're following the sfx rather than the drums
22:00 Skylish: um... I will strike a balance btw drum and sfx.
22:00 bananannian: there's really nothing wrong with that, you could say it's your style
22:00 bananannian: just pointing this out because it's unusual
22:00 bananannian: if you want to keep kdkd
22:00 bananannian: then perhaps 00:06:190 (24) - k
22:00 bananannian: 00:07:561 (31) - k
22:00 bananannian: 00:08:932 (38) - k
22:02 bananannian: and then the vocals start
22:02 Skylish: yes, changed
22:02 Skylish: yet to finish.
22:03 bananannian: what I personally do with dnb
22:03 bananannian: is to maintain the drums' consistent pattern
22:03 bananannian: and add density when there's vocals
22:03 bananannian: so, maintain drum consistency: 00:10:647 - add d
22:04 bananannian: add density: 00:10:647 - add d; 00:10:732 - add d
22:04 bananannian: 00:11:161 (48) - change to K btw
22:05 bananannian: note that this is what I would do, it's not necessarily better than any other way of mapping it
22:05 Skylish: um...
22:05 bananannian: oh lol, the second 00:10:647 is supposed to be 00:10:990 -
22:05 Skylish: I would like to make the notes consist of vocal+drum as the prominent parts simultaneously, what do you think?
22:06 bananannian: yeah, that's what I'm doing
22:08 Skylish: I really love mapping the drum SE with k, is that fine?_?
22:08 bananannian: which drum SE?
22:09 bananannian: the bass drum kick or the snares
22:09 Skylish: I cannot define them very clearly...
22:09 Skylish: 00:27:961 (31,34,39) -
22:09 Skylish: these
22:09 bananannian: that's the snares, yeah you're SUPPOSED to map them as k
22:10 bananannian: don't worry
22:10 Skylish: my hearing is so bad... :+(
22:10 Skylish: so where are the bass drum?- -
22:11 bananannian: there's always a kick at the first beat
22:11 bananannian: listen at 50% playback perhaps
22:11 bananannian: the standard dnb beat: d_k__dk_
22:12 bananannian: k = snares on the 2nd and the 4th beat
22:12 Skylish: yes I can hear that.
22:12 bananannian: d = bass drum kick on the 1st beat and the 3.5th beat
22:13 bananannian: you can literally copy that pattern across the whole map
22:13 bananannian: then add notes inside to match vocals and sfx
22:13 bananannian: and have a decent map
22:13 bananannian: lol
22:13 Skylish: clever way!!!
22:13 bananannian: can you hear the bass drum now?
22:14 Skylish: yes I can hear that.
22:15 bananannian: so can you hear the bass drum at 00:10:647 -
22:18 Skylish: yes, of coz
22:19 bananannian: in fact, I'd just map this part starting from 00:09:790 - like this:
22:20 Skylish: oh shit.... asuasu_yura is also mapping this song, me get surrekt. ...
22:20 bananannian: ...except I can't get puush to work, hang on a sec
22:20 Skylish:
http://puu.sh/nnjDy/aa3e2042d9.jpg @_@ ** yes, I would like to see your ver.
22:21 bananannian:
http://puu.sh/nnjEB/b8399fb339.jpg22:22 Skylish: nope... that's not appropriate imo
22:23 Skylish: vocal is the top priority
22:23 bananannian: so you want the isolated notes?
22:23 bananannian: see, when I map dnb vocal is also the top priority
22:23 Skylish: yes, you can see that my original ver. is that , I leave some space for the vocal.
22:24 bananannian: but I make it top priority by increasing density
22:24 Skylish: to emphasize them.
22:24 bananannian: and use k to emphasize them
22:24 Skylish: re-check ur pattern
22:25 bananannian: e.g. 00:11:504 (53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60) - this part
22:25 bananannian: I would make it very dense
22:25 bananannian: and this part: 00:13:904 (65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83) -
22:25 bananannian: not as dense, probably just d_k__dk_
22:25 Skylish: in fact I would like this ready-session to be a bit solo feeling... it should be clear and clean.
22:26 bananannian: yeah I can see your reasoning
22:26 bananannian: having single notes is fine
22:27 bananannian: see? we have different styles ^^
22:27 Skylish: yes, I agree with you that those parts should have a high density, and perhaps I am doing so.
22:27 Skylish: LOL yeah, diff. styles
22:27 bananannian: 00:11:161 (48) - this really should be K though
22:27 Skylish: yes, I have changed it already due to my consistency.
22:28 bananannian: one thing I don't understand is this part: 00:13:904 - to 00:16:304 -
22:28 bananannian: I don't think you need so dense of a pattern
22:29 Skylish: I beg to differ.
22:29 bananannian: explain! :3
22:29 Skylish: the previous patterns are some warm-ups, and from this session onwards, stream is waiting for the players.
22:30 bananannian: well, this: 00:16:647 (80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95) - is warmup already
22:30 Skylish: and this session is a bit free to map.
22:30 bananannian: warmup for the streams
22:31 Skylish: !_! little boss in 00:13:904 (64) - to 00:16:304 (82) - , r
22:31 bananannian: lol there's nothing much there to map except the drums right?
22:32 bananannian: so you wanted to freely add some triplets and 5-plets in
22:32 Skylish: that's true. but not my intention.
22:33 Skylish: ~_~ I still changed the 5-plets into triplets. -
22:33 bananannian: errrr repeat your intention again?
22:34 Skylish: sth like this
http://puu.sh/nnkdp/c5d6d48d79.jpg22:35 Skylish: presence of solo= clear and clean , d&b+vocal = take a balance, only d&b = own style + increase density + more complicated.
22:35 Skylish: 00:13:904 (64) -
22:36 bananannian: lol very different styles indeed
22:36 bananannian: basically reverse of mine
22:36 Skylish: LOL really. !_!
22:36 bananannian: if there's vocals I add density, if there aren't I make the patterns simpler
22:37 bananannian: if there's sfx involved I map them in while modifying the d_k__dk_ if necessary
22:37 bananannian: here's how I would map the section starting at 00:13:904 -
22:37 Skylish: interesting comparison here LOLLLL * yes?
22:37 bananannian:
http://puu.sh/nnkhF/a5c21ec6bd.jpg22:37 bananannian: see? very different ^^
22:38 bananannian: BUT if I want to keep with your style, hmm
22:38 bananannian: I think the gap at 00:14:590 - and 00:15:961 - would still be there
22:39 bananannian: but there would be more triplets or 5-plets
22:40 Skylish: lol yours sounds great indeed.
22:40 Skylish: mine is abit clumsy when putting them on the balance.
22:41 bananannian: the main thing is k, you use a lot of them
22:42 bananannian: I only use k's when there's snares LOL
22:42 Skylish: well my style is sth like this, inevitable LOL
22:43 bananannian: ok whatever you do, as long as it's consistent it's fine
22:43 Skylish: good to hear that!
22:43 bananannian: when there's vocals solo-ing use less dense patterns
22:44 bananannian: when there's drums + sfx
22:44 bananannian: like starting at 00:22:132 -
22:44 bananannian: use more dense patterns
22:44 bananannian: am I correct? Is that your concept?
22:45 Skylish: yes
22:45 Skylish: exactly
22:45 bananannian: I see no problem with it
22:45 bananannian: lol
22:46 bananannian: ok! moving on
22:46 bananannian: 00:16:647 - good build up
22:47 bananannian: your main emphasis throughout the whole song is on vocals right?
22:47 Skylish: vocal+d&b
22:47 bananannian: then at 00:19:047 - perhaps like this, all k match vocals:
http://puu.sh/nnkPk/2bdceb36f3.jpg22:49 Skylish: um... nope, that's not appropriate again imo.
22:49 Skylish: 00:17:847 (88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96) - is a group
22:49 Skylish: consistency should be considered.
22:49 Skylish: 00:19:390 (97) - is 'chi' , while 00:19:732 (101) - is 'me'
22:50 Skylish: they following the pitches
22:50 Skylish: *are following
22:50 bananannian: the chi is at 00:19:218 - , not 390
22:51 Skylish: yeah, see my pattern here
22:51 Skylish: 00:17:847 (88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96) - is a group
22:52 bananannian: ok, so you want to keep the kdkdkd
22:52 Skylish: yay
22:56 bananannian: ok, so I have a few ideas
22:56 bananannian: about this stream: 00:19:390 (97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105) -
22:56 Skylish: yes, please go ahead.
22:56 bananannian: you can hear the bass drum going twice as fast as before
22:57 bananannian: so, keeping with the kdkdkdkd pattern you have before
22:57 Skylish: yes
22:57 bananannian: if I don't care about the vocals, I would have this stream as kdkdkdkd too
22:58 bananannian: except you DO care about the vocals, so perhaps kdkdkkkkd instead
22:59 Skylish: which timing are you talking about?
22:59 Skylish: 00:19:390 (97) - ?
22:59 bananannian: yes
23:00 Skylish: 00:19:390 (97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105) - my previous one is ddddkkkkd
23:00 bananannian: yup
23:00 bananannian: I disagree with having d at the beginning
23:00 Skylish: ok clarified. let's see what's yours going on.
23:00 bananannian: and also kkkkd at the end
23:01 bananannian: ooh
23:01 bananannian: scratch that
23:01 bananannian:
http://puu.sh/nnlsY/3036531698.jpg23:01 Skylish: um... the flow is not appropriate.
23:02 Skylish: Let me finish my words first before looking at your new idea.
23:02 bananannian: ok, sure, explain!
23:03 Skylish: as you have mentioned that, 00:19:218 (96) - is chi, and 00:19:732 (101) - is me,
23:03 Skylish: but according to my own consistency and structure, 00:19:218 (96) - is separated from the stream,
23:04 Skylish: this does NOT mean that the upcoming notes are not following the pitch.
23:04 Skylish: Therefore, as the pitch of chi is lower than me,
23:04 Skylish: the stream should be ddddkkkkd
23:04 Skylish: that's how I complete the structure of this stream.
23:06 Skylish: Now, I am confused with your idea. What time is the note 97? ** oh, if you have sth to comment on the above explanation, plz fire it out
23:06 bananannian: 97 is at 00:19:390 -
23:06 Skylish: ok.
23:07 bananannian: as I've said, I use density rather than d/k to reflect vocals
23:07 bananannian: so during this stream, I don't even care about the vocal's pitch
23:07 Skylish: yes, I bear it in mind.
23:08 bananannian: as long as there ARE vocals, I map it as k
23:08 bananannian: so if I were the one mapping, it would be like this:
http://puu.sh/nnlNf/a7daaf17d1.jpg23:08 bananannian: 95 is at 00:19:047 -
23:09 Skylish: ok
23:09 bananannian: BUT I tried to match your style with my previous suggestion
23:09 bananannian: so in the previous puush, 00:19:218 - is d like you have it
23:10 bananannian: and ddddkkkkd stream is fine actually
23:10 Skylish: both of our mapping styles make sense literally. LOL
23:11 Skylish: yours mapping style really ignore vocal's pitches LOL
23:12 bananannian: yup, I rarely can fit in patterns that match both instrument and their pitch
23:12 bananannian: so I just ignore pitch
23:12 bananannian: you seem to be doing well matching pitch, so
23:12 bananannian: ignore me
23:13 Skylish: lol, yours idea is yours, I should take it as ref. They are still helpful really!
23:14 bananannian: ok, so another thing is that you have another stream at 00:20:418 -
23:14 bananannian: 00:20:418 (107,108,109,110,111,112,113,114,115) -
23:14 bananannian: that one
23:14 Skylish: well, looking back to my Perciuss (too long I cannot remember) , it sucks due to inappropriate music setting XP * yay back to topic now.
23:14 Skylish: yes?
23:14 bananannian: you can see from my suggestion that I broke it up
23:15 Skylish: yes.
23:16 bananannian: sending you another picture
23:16 bananannian:
http://puu.sh/nnm93/405e93ca35.jpg23:17 Skylish: make sense again
23:17 bananannian: ...as you can see, I really don't care about pitch
23:18 bananannian: 00:20:675 - this gap is here because the note before has a loud cymbal splash
23:18 bananannian: I wanted to emphasize that by having a stream end ON the note
23:19 bananannian: by stream I mean triplet in this case
23:19 Skylish: yes I see your point.
23:19 bananannian: and actually, if I wanted to further emphasize 00:20:590 - I would delete the note at 00:20:761 -
23:19 bananannian: and the same thing goes for 00:20:761 -
23:20 bananannian: let me send you another picture
23:20 bananannian:
http://puu.sh/nnmlE/d4e8f46c44.jpg23:23 Skylish: lol that's not my taste, regrettably, we have to stop at here because I get ganked by my mom.
23:23 Skylish: thanks in advance for another mapping which is inspiring.
23:23 bananannian: yeah I know it's not gonna be your style
23:23 bananannian: just showing you how I map stuff
23:23 Skylish: BTW this is a post-DSE project, so leave it behind!
* yes i know it.
23:23 bananannian: with really good maps, modding basically just becomes showing others how you map stuff
23:23 Skylish: thank you.~
23:23 bananannian: aight, good luck!
23:24 Skylish: see u~
