EDIT: I'd love to hear back from some of you in relation to some questions I bring up, or things I need clarified in my questions to your comments. Thx.


TC_Halogen:

1) Thanks
2) I never noticed that... interesting. However, I am keeping it otherwise there will be weird mini-jacks. So I will keep as is for now haha.
3) Yeah, The difficulty is much harder then I intended. But I decided to put more heavier patterns in there instead of having lots of nasty spikes.

1) Thanks
2) Thanks again haha.

No notes again. Sad day. I guess I'll just PM you later.

Thanks



1) Haha yeaaah...
2) Fixed
3) Fixed
4)
5) This part took a while for me, the problem is if I under-step it a bit to the way you recommended, it will really decrease in difficulty from what was happening already in the chart. (Especially in comparison to the 32nd trill sections) So I was aiming for this chart to end on a bit of a nice hard run.

2) Sweet. Thx.

1) Well I kinda agree, but I really feel as though in comparison to the rest of the file it seems understepped. It might be due to the fact that I listened to this file a bajillion times and recognize that chord there, but I find it necessary to step.
2) Fixed. No more 16th trills.
3) Ah never noticed that. Changed the jack to match PR well, making it a 1-3-4 instead. Fixed.
4) I kinda fixed. I worked a few notes around here and there to make it flow better.
5) I never noticed that hahaha. Woopsie. Okay, I removed it. Fixed.
6) Hands have been removed. Made it flow nicer.
7) Agreed. I lowered the difficulty a ton with these changes.


1) Fixed all sections, made the changes from 3-4-3 to 2-4-2 instead and fixed the hands to flow better.
2) Sooooo I'm confused, would you prefer I leave it as a 32nd burst or change it to a 24th bunch there?
3) Well, I decided to leave the hands to show emphasis at the beginning of the song due to weak layering options. Also from the hard hitting chords that are represented in the beginning, I like the way they are.
4) Yeah, not much I really can do about that.... haha
5) I need a bit to think about this. I feel like it's very empty otherwise. I'll talk with you about this next time you are on.
6) What would you suggest then? I tried to put the emphasis on the repetitious notes to keep consistency, but that's all I could do off the top of my head haha.
7) Fixed. I think?
8) Fixed.
9) I guess I was going off of the 'Retro City' File in terms of wub stepping. I really like that approach to dubstep. If you really disagree I'll change it.
10) Oops. Fixed.
11) I disagree. Both melody lines are PR'd correctly, with the high-hat snare filling in the rest. I mean it does make it boring but what I guess then needs to change is the high hat and remove it to provide focus on those sections? I dunno lol

1) Fixed
2) Fixed
3) Fixed
4) I changed it up a bit, so it wouldn't be boring, and they are different pitches, no?
5) If I would step these, they would really be turned into nasty jacks which really spike the difficulty, I decided against it.
6) Fixed
7) Yeah I changed this around a bit, should flow a bit nicer.
8) Yeaaaah, I get what you mean. I reworked it so it flows a bit nicer.
9) I ended up removing the hands, since I haven't used them anywhere in the song before.

1) I'm really sorry, I have to question this... wouldn't removing 5 of the notes kinda make it incomplete? Wouldn't it be better just to remove all of them?
2) Fixed. I also changed this for the other whip cracks throughout the song. (4-5 places)
3) It is in some sections, but it isn't in others... I dunno do you hear that too? Oh, and fixed. I changed the patterns from 3-4-3 to 1-3-1 as said above.
4) What? I don't really understand, it's not a jack?
5) Yeah, I meant to step the percussion during that.
6) Fixed
7) Not sure why I didn't do that before... fixed
8) I agree it does not end here, however I'm afraid it will create quite nasty jack here... a lot more then I think is needed.
9) I did that at first but it became unclear what I was stepping, and made it look like I was stepping randomly. I decided just to keep it the way it is.
10) Fixed
11) Kinda fixed. Made it less of an anchor.
12) Same as above. Fixed.
13) Fixed.
14) Dossar made this comment earlier. I'm considering it, however I kinda liked the 'wub' stepping of 'Retro City' as said earlier, so I am keeping it for now. However, I might change it.....
15) I'm confused... what do you mean?
16) Pssst... It's my signature hahaha. In every file that I have made I do a 12 / 13 / 14 hahahaha. I know I know, but I mean it kinda breaks away from the boring-esk jumpstream that it becomes.
17) Jumps are stepped to the main melody + kick. It works? I dunno what you mean. And if I use color theory here it will be pretty much used for the whole section...
18) The way you are recommending is the way I had it before when I had people review it, and they suggested it not to be like that, mostly because it really left the file to be open and empty... so I don't know what I want to do with this now haha

I've gone over this file with you already and you didn't change anything. Why would I bother writing noted when I already told you what o thought should change about it when you sent going to do it anyway?
