Astronomic Metal Collection 2

Okay =\
I'm slowly trying to finish my simfile, because I haven't the same energies for stepping songs than before, although I think that I've become more technical.

Your files have potential. You just pick really tough stuff to step lol. Lots of people who can step other genres well can't step stuff like that either.

Hey NTM ETA when you start judging again?

I've already resumed judging. Check the previous page. I can't remember what file was yours, but basically all the files I reviewed were salvageable.

Any questions regarding further details, just post.

Also, Sulfer can (and has before) override any of my decisions. I tend to be very strict. He's more lax.

French Power Metal,duh

[Ghakimx]

I'm gonna do Japanese Power Metal. Aw yeah.

[SulferDragon]

German power metal is definitely the best.

I played the files N.T.M. reviewed and I'm not accepted any of them. No, I'm not posting reviews. I already said I wasn't going to. None of them were terrible, but they all definitely need some work.

Also, Joe, don't send another version of When Legends Come to Life. You're not going to make an enjoyable file out of it. It's a bad song choice.

The only file that hasn't been reviewed is Love is Green. People haven't sent much recently.

Lastly, seeing as how nobody labels their simfiles like I have said they should, here's an example of how to do it so I don't have to keep fixing them myself:

I'll review that tomorrow then (in addition to a file I just received via PM).

Also, Sulfer, seeing as I'm a hopeless perfectionist I may make some tiny revisions to a couple of my files. =P

*edit* DCPII is never gonna get judged. I may rescind a couple submissions and send them here instead. I just wanted to diversify my submissions (where they're sent).

*edit again* Post # 666

ok.U still gotta chek my revised Eve of Seduction.Im preety sure I sent it awhile bak.Ill re-send it if i must.

PS-u only say German Power Metal cuz of Freedom Call :P

[SulferDragon]

Wait, I could have sworn I accepted that already...

Okay, it was the last file I bothered reviewing. I never posted it.

Eve of Seduction (again) - Accepted - It's great when you give someone advice and they follow it exactly. You fixed everything perfectly.

P.S. That's only half the reason. Blind Guardian, Helloween, and Gamma Ray are also from Germany.

[N.T.M.]

Love is Green (Bluearrow) - rejected - Poor song choice, very bad PR, inexcusable omitted notes, and riddled with sync errors.

Under a Glass Moon (GLoVE) - Accepted - This just needs to get the OK from Sulfer as it's hardly from an obscure pack. Still, imo, it's quality warrants its acceptance despite that.

Misanthropic Coil (ICYW) - not fully judged yet - I'm in a hurry to be somewhere so I'll have to postpone further details 'til later tonight when I'm back. All that stuck out to me when I played it was some superfluous hands. I still need to check a few more things.

[Choofers]

N.T.M. will probably appreciate this.
I'm going to try stepping Sacrificed Sons.

hmmm maybe i should send my Warmen sims to this, what u think NTM?

I say yes. Just go over the sync on those 8th note streams again for your RR file. The gap's a bit off there, but the sync for the solos is sufficient. Both are pretty much guaranteed accepts.

I've got two more files for this too.

This seems to be a problem with a lot of your files I have played. It's not that bad in this file, except in places such as measures 37-42. Some of the holds are half-notes, some are quarter-notes, and others are completely ignored. Talk about inconsistent. This song is also a bit on the long side. Although, it is varied enough to be interesting.

Carrion Sculpted Entity - Accepted with some tweaks - Good index stepfile fare. I would like to see something else more interesting done with that long 16th stream at measure 101-118. That's about it. Thankfully, it's short; otherwise, I would reject it on account of being boring.

Euphoric Dream - Accepted with some tweaks - Errors I found as follows:
m104, Why can't you put 16ths in between the jumps?
m114, The error should be obvious if you listen to the guitar.
m132, I think the correct pattern is more like this.
m195-196, I honestly think that 16th stream breaks the flow and is out of place.
m201, I don't think all those steps actually go to sounds.
m203-204, Just like measure 195.
The 24ths in the solo are all wrong. They're not 24ths at all. Also, some of the 16ths should actually be 24ths. You stepped everything backwards!
I also noticed the sync in this file was really bad. It might be the gap, or it could be the BPM. I don't know. Either way, it's wrong. Some of your other files might be off too, but I don't feel like checking.
Overall, this file is actually really fun. It's probably the best file I have ever played by you. It's certainly the most consistent. The song is ****ing great too. Fix this file.

I have fixed up these files and will submit them shortly. I will also submit some new ones.

Regarding the holds in A Warrior's Death, the reason they're different lengths is to avoid hands (I have an irrational hatred of hands). I agree that there could be more consistency in other areas, though, so I fixed up a few things.

I also completely redid the last part of Carrion Sculpted Entity and took all your suggestions for Euphoric Dream. The gap and BPM feel right to me but you can change them if you want.

accepted with some tweaks.

So... We've got some superfluous hands, and lots of fairly minor PR errors. An example would be like measure 13: both patterns initiated at m13b2 and m13b4 should be the same. However, when this minifreeze section repeats, the pitch isn't always repeated identically. Like maybe instead of 12321232 it may be like 1232xxxx. Both of those are relatively negligible though. The only error I'd present as a stipulation for acceptance is measure 118: the majority of those notes (namely 8ths) are completely inaudible. Rectify that with a more "coherent" pattern and I'd accept it. And I'll leave Sulfer to decide if it's the kinda style he wants in the pack (cuz it's debatably overstepped a bit and repetitive).

Hey NTM, can you help me to fix Pull Me Under please??

Certainly. I don't recall the name though. Did I review it? Sulfer? I'll check some of Sulfer's recent reviews and see if it's included. Then I'll just download the file.

*edit* So I checked and it has been sent. I'll download the file and review it later and give an overview on how to rectify any errors.
