Permission = good
Metadata = good
Offset = good

Let me start off by saying I really like what you did with the intro, the triplets are fun and PR is followed well.

***12.415 etc.: I'm sorry but these feel like missing notes. I understand the omission, but I hard disagree especially since you are using jumps for the snare and kick drum.
- 31.895, 33.154 ... 72.143, 73.403 etc.: You do layer in the kickdrum here?
- 35.829: Why is this a hand, it's just a snare, the next 4th is actually more hand-worthy since there's a crash.
- 40.234, 40.862: Why hands?
- 41.177, 41.491: These have cymbals playing on them and are more intense than 40.234 and 40.862.
- 42.747: These are kind of a storn42 trademark haha, I really like them here.
- 43.690: Red note for the kick?
- 44.946: I would at least include a red note to emphasise the cymbal.
- 45.889: Isn't this the same sound as 46.203? I would make them both hands.
- 50.306: Yeahhh dude, this might be the most satisfying pattern I've played in a while.
***52.644

- 73.560: Why hand?
- 76.080: ^
- 76.395: Feels more worthy of a hand.
- 80.490, 81.119: See 40.234.
- 81.434, 81.748: See 41.177.
- 83.947: Same as 43.690, just look at earlier notes for the rest of this section.

- 97.904: I would connect this with the 4th jump to follow the guitar. It might be hard to hear, but it's similar to 100.434.
- 105.491: ^

After the solo it pretty much follows the same structure as the rest of the file.

I would like *** adressed. Other than that aside from some layering issues the file plays fine to me.

>Perms, metadata, sync good
>I’m surprised by the lack of long anchors (evident in your previous files) in this song.
>Jump-layering varies between hard snare hit, vocals, and hard guitar strum. At least it’s consistent on whatever noise is focused in each section.

12.257-28.907 - Within this region, why aren’t there notes placed on spots such as 12.415? It doesn’t seem to be related to the presence of vocals. It also happens again later on (see after 51.204). Not sure the reason here anyways.
21.067/36.143/44.946 - Cymbal crash; should be hand?
33.311/40.234 - Why hand? I see that some of the other hands have that kick drum, which I’m ok with them being hands. But idk about these ones I listed.
40.234 - Hand b/c snare + vocal?
42.747-45.574 - What determines “1grey2red”, “2grey1red”, and “2grey”?
43.061 - Should be jump? There’s vocal, but not snare here. (happens again at 83.318/143.768)
50.579-51.048 - Some PR can be done here.
51.204 - Cymbal crash; should be hand?
70.496 - Should be single? Compare 30.239
85.203 - Cymbal crash; should be hand?
88.338/88.804 - No jump for vocal?
90.849-91.323 - See 50.579-51.048.
91.481-111.617 - Maybe turn all the cymbal crashes within this section into hands. I also notice that the third arrow on each of your 3-note anchors is of a different pitch, which means these 3-note anchors should actually be minijacks.
102.497 - Missing jump (hard snare hit)
112.569-130.523 - No jumps on hard snare hits? No hand on cymbal crash? Compare 10.999-28.907.
145.653 - Cymbal crash; should be hand?
148.788/149.258 - No jump for vocal?

>>File is mostly consistent on its layering. Just fix 112.569-130.523.

- Fine, i suppose i can revert these back to

31.895, 33.154 ... 72.143, 73.403 etc.: You do layer in the kickdrum here?
- yes, the jacks here are intended to follow the kick like with 0:11.628.

35.829: Why is this a hand, it's just a snare, the next 4th is actually more hand-worthy since there's a crash.
0.234, 40.862: Why hands?
41.177, 41.491: These have cymbals playing on them and are more intense than 40.234 and 40.862.
- Its all Snare+vocal. I can see reason to add more for the crashes so i've gone in and added hands with this in mind.
- So after adding all of the cymbals, i realized this chart is crowded with hands everywhere. So i've dialed it back. I've added the most explosive ones, but probably not as many as you would've liked.

42.747: These are kind of a storn42 trademark haha, I really like them here.
- One of the very first things i did when planning this chart was making sure the other vocals were colored

43.690: Red note for the kick?
- I am not giving extra notes for kicks in this chart. so there is no extra note for the kick.

44.946: I would at least include a red note to emphasize the cymbal.
- That, however i can do

45.889: Isn't this the same sound as 46.203? I would make them both hands.
- no, I'm not sure what you're hearing but there is clearly a snare on 45.888 that isn't on 46.203

97.904: I would connect this with the 4th jump to follow the guitar. It might be hard to hear, but it's similar to 100.434
- I think i hear what you want here but its not the guitar. its the bass thats playing a second note here. Since its not the main soloing guitar i dont want to focus on it and place the jack here.

12.257-28.907 - Within this region, why aren’t there notes placed on spots such as 12.415? It doesn’t seem to be related to the presence of vocals. It also happens again later on (see after 51.204). Not sure the reason here anyways.
- The idea was that each open chord had a gap, and the rhythm basically follows the guitar for the most part here. This has since been changed.

21.067/36.143/44.946 - Cymbal crash; should be hand?
- 21.067 isn't a crash that i can hear. Others have been added.

33.311/40.234 - Why hand? I see that some of the other hands have that kick drum, which I’m ok with them being hands. But idk about these ones I listed.
40.234 - Hand b/c snare + vocal?
- Yup, snare + vocal

42.747-45.574 - What determines “1grey2red”, “2grey1red”, and “2grey”?
- The white notes are for the 2nd set of vocals in the chart. Extra notes are for sounds layered ontop of them. The only time the notes are reduced to 1 white note is for the last note of each phrase, where the main vocals pick up again on the same note. I've tried for the most part to keep the PR the same between the 2 pairs. Which is why notes like 43.061 mirror the coloring of 45.574

43.061 - Should be jump? There’s vocal, but not snare here. (happens again at 83.318/143.768)
- These are the rare occasions that we have the 2 vocals overlap. Its all intended.

50.579-51.048 - Some PR can be done here.
- i'm not sure i understand. Its already PR because its changed to a jack on 1 instead of 4 for the pitch.

51.204 - Cymbal crash; should be hand?
- sure

70.496 - Should be single? Compare 30.239
- ahh, you're right! i SHOULD add a jump at 30.239

85.203 - Cymbal crash; should be hand?
- yup

88.338/88.804 - No jump for vocal?
- i'll add the first one because it should've been there. however the choice of note placement for 1:28.804 is VERY deliberate i would not chart that specific note any other way.

91.481-111.617 - Maybe turn all the cymbal crashes within this section into hands. I also notice that the third arrow on each of your 3-note anchors is of a different pitch, which means these 3-note anchors should actually be minijacks.
- the cymbals are specifically jumps here. i do not want them being hands here and i want all the focus on that guitar. I can hear the difference in some of the jacks, but at the same time those are the 3 most emphasized notes so it makes sense to keep them as jacks even if the pitch changes.

102.497 - Missing jump (hard snare hit)
- good catch!

112.569-130.523 - No jumps on hard snare hits? No hand on cymbal crash? Compare 10.999-28.907.
- This is completely intentional. This section is much calmer than previous sections. The vocals and drums just dont have as much energy here, and the guitar is reduced to open chord stums from palmmuted 8ths. Since the section is calmer i've reduced the layering.

145.653 - Cymbal crash; should be hand?
- done

148.788/149.258 - No jump for vocal?
- same as before

Acknowledged notes? Sounds good, moving this along batch.
