THREAD MOTHAFUCKAS MINTY 2 BITCHES NEW PACK YEAH

[MinaciousGrace]

it's not a waste of my time if you learned something

also I'll be loosely reorganizing the pool based on my personal ranking rather than alphabetical with files I think are closest to earning locked spots at the top so people who have pooled files can make better judgments about where they want to place their effort

they won't be hard rankings and unless neon sends me something similar they will be sans his input (which is obviously an important factor)

[Soul Evans]

Hmmm, i'll think about it

what you said wasn't false either, i thought phil could have done a better intro for it, but it is more technical than it is a dump i agree, at some point i can't really see what to change their except adding a bit variety in patterns and make it more dense with 32nds for vocals, and our intent was to highlight the chorus more, so it's going to be a bit difficult to change it.

So, i don't need a different approach to this file, i can edit the ones you mentioned and it could be accepted even though it's a bit on the technical side?

this is the one thing you can't do

if you just change what I tell you to change you're never going to learn to look at music differently and you'll just end up doing the same thing over and over again

No. You need to read what Mina said over again. You DO need to take a different approach, because the one you have applied now is not up to snuff. There is no objective way to approach a file, so to claim that you have no other way of charting it after someone has given you the means to do just that is not acceptable. As of right now the file is missing out on a ton of interesting and fun vocal accentuation due to your so called 'technical' approach. Take another look.

Also, to reiterate Mina's point, if you send a 'purely technical' file to this pack (not saying your file is Soul), I will absolutely deny it flat out. I'm not saying that I don't appreciate technical files, or that I refuse to acknowledge the creativity that goes into them, but just that it is not what these packs are about. If you really care to understand what you are sending to, which you should, just look at some of Mina's packs, some of my packs, or (obviously) Minty 1.

Told csenc about this, they go to the sharp S-sounds of the vocals.
I think they're hilarious, who AAAs anyway.

Fair enough, when I ever feel like fixing it.

Whether this involves some clever use of mirror and slight shifts of notes across columns or full repatterning is up to you, however there should be no sections of the ending/outro that are immediately recognizable from earlier segments of the chart. I tend to think of longer charts as journeys and I like my journeys to end anywhere but where they started.

Apparently you don't know how hearts are drawn.

Thx

[MinaciousGrace]

no i know what they go to im just saying they dont play well, it has nothing to do with aaa'ing or not

i stand by the rest of my comments

ps.

desire of ages best hearts

[SKG_Scintill]

Why wouldn't you use the original song? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBgp5aDH23g

I still think this is easily your best file and the song choice is great for the buildup. I also still think there are occasional gross errors in pattern judgment that detract greatly from the file. It'll actually be much easier for me to make the fixes and then send them to you rather than the reverse so that's what I propose, if you want to make fixes on your own I can give you a detailed list of the problematic areas and you can submit fixes. You get a blue stamp conditional upon fixes irrespective of where they come from (assuming they you know, are fixes and don't make things worse somehow).

I forgot the section you wanted me to look at, would appreciate the time stamp for it.

Would like the list of problematic areas to look at as well to see what I can do.

153s- right hand 34 gallop that leads into a [34] jumpjack that immediately leads into a 2134 48th roll is an ungodly rush trap.
163s- the left hand chain pattern here is almost the hardest thing in the entire file and it goes to a sound that I can barely hear. Also the sound repeats like 6 times and the only other time you have a chain pattern to it is...
170s- the left hand chain pattern here is the hardest thing in the entire file and we're still in the buildup to the climax. Pattern the chains like the rest of the 32nds, or come up with a consistent way to place jacks to the sound that doesn't involve multicb difficulty spikes even if you can fc the rest of the file.

those are the only major offenders but they're bad enough that they have to be fixed

I can nitpick over any other patterns at a later time

i have an image in my mind of someone watching a kidz bop commercial and thinking "wow those kids write some pretty catchy original songs"

does that mean you're looking for kidz bop files

[MinaciousGrace]

if you think you can make a convincing chart with one sure

[contrapatior]

legit wanted a file for this for the longest time
