unfortunately i think the song just doesn't offer enough

Hi.

Sending my files shortly.

You may receive COLORS, WOBBLE IMPACT and uh... TSUBAKI.

[choof]

can I step speedcore

[ilikexd]

you can step whatever genre you'd like, but speedcore and others are really hard to make a memorable file out of, so good luck and no promises

[Fission]

only one again. i'll review zappa tomorrow -- i keep forgetting to do it, sorry 'bout that.

BRAVE GLOW (Shiron) - REJECTED
- roll @ 6 isn't 4 notes
- don't understand the jumpglut @ 16
- missing jump @ 21.46 and 21.83
- another jumpglut here that i don't understand
- roll @ 49.21 should be ascending and feels like it starts 1/2 way through it
- second minijack and 3 note jack @ 199.9 don't reflect what is going on in the music
- not really a fan of the 192nd accents. i think they are unnecessary when they occur so often to the point where they lose their effect.
- in addition to these you have more layering inconsistencies and ghost notes/missing notes that i didn't mention. you should look at this file carefully and try to spot them.

Will try to submit something for this pack.

edit: just to clarify, does rejected mean it has no chance of being accepted if fixed or is it just rejected in its current state?
i.e. does it imply anything about potential

[Fission]

rejection has no bearing on potential, just that it has too many problems in it's current state to consider being accepted

EDIT: if a chart doesn't have potential because of song choice, i'll explicitly mention it

[Wafles]

I'll probably pm one of you guys to see if my song choice is cool before i bother starting anything. The file I had in mind probably would've worked but the end of the song kind of ruins the whole thing and I dont want to cut it :/

[Fission]

i definitely encourage people to do that and i don't mind answering if song choice is yay/nay. it's a really integral part of creating a chart that stands out.

Teenage Prostitute (Scintill) - ACCEPTED

funny song, and cool file for beginners or for going for MA scores

Quartz Rainbow (Plopadop) - CONDITIONAL

40.5s/beat119 - 4th jump?
70.1s/beat205 - 16th should be followed by another 8th, see also 75.6s, etc
92.0s, 92.3s, etc - missing 16th note, 94.8s - missing 16th note.
double check this whole section and make sure youve captured all the 16th notes, make any easier chart(s) you want, and i'll gladly accept it

Catkin and Teasel (Valor and Fission) - ACCEPTED

there are a few very minor things i'd point out, but it's already released as a single and fine as is

[SKG_Scintill]

kewl, was waiting patiently for the review

Disagree; I'm only stepping the lead synth/bass kicks/snare in this section. Adding an 8th after the 16th for this section would make for an inconsistency in layering.

I'm not hearing the 92.0, 92.3 16ths...are you talking about the [23][14][14][23] bit or something else? The ones at 94.8 etc. I definitely hear though and added 'em in, along with a couple more here or there.

I'll probably work on the easier charts tomorrow and resubmit. Thanks for the review.

yeah disergard the the jump comment, it was the [12] jump btw


listen closely, the synth isnt just a 16th gallop, but a 16th triplet


92.0s the sound that's stepped as a [23] repeats right after it on a 16th, same stuff happens at 92.73s

there were some missing notes that were more obvious than others, just make sure you check, also i'll have matt look at it

Very nice.

One thing I'll want to mention though is that flatly stating a song has little potential is a strong thing to say, because you need to make sure that is the case. It's very possible you might underestimate that potential.

[Fission]

a fair observation. if i'm not entirely sure i'll say something like "maybe with a cut" (i said this for one of valor's charts) or "not sure" but if it's just 180 BPM Generic DJ Sharpnel 16th Note Synthesizer etc. then i already know right away that the song isn't going to offer much.

[Wafles]

can i step darude sandstorm
thats a pretty unique song

[Fission]

there is a small (emphasis on this) chance that i would accept it as a joke file. not as a serious file though.

- the problem with a song choice like this is that it's really difficult to make a file that isn't arbitrarily varied (if that makes sense?)
- there is quite a few ghost notes (e.g. overstepped 32nd bursts), listen on a lower rate
- a lot of the mini holds are unnecessary and emphasize guitar notes just fine as layering
- it's not inherently a terrible file, it's just not what i'm looking for

- Eh variety isn't everything. People seem to like undeviating files from hoarding Jump/Handstream and buzzes. Maybe this is just my view of it. Might be wrong.

- I've listened and cannot for the life of me find these ghost notes. There might be some in that 32nd solo, but other than that I'd have to say there none that I hear? (If you'd point them out or just like a few examples I'd appreciate it.)

- I'm weird I really like using them this way. Just my preference though. I guess another thing I'm curious about is the graces at the intro. Were those alright or did they heavily bother you?

- Fair enough. I know it's a keyboard pack, but how do you feel about easier end files? I'm talking like maybe challenging - VC range on FFR? (Just curious.)

[ilikexd]

- totally true, but so many of them play so similarly or exactly the same to others, so just not what we're looking for

- 15.4s, 92.583s, 102.674s is only 24ths, 35.652s ghost note, and yea some parts of the guitar solos are a bit inaccurate

- personally i think those miniholds are fine and work well, also grace notes in intro were good too

- challenging-vc range files on ffr would be acceptable, but will be harsher on objective errors since there's less going on, also would be even better if you can make at least 2 difficulties for them
