Pretty relentless broken Handstream file

Some of the hand usage is inconsistent due to lack of space, but I felt some of the sounds were too beefy to just be jumps so I had to make some compromises.

Some of the jacks will probably convert to 2-framers, they're fairly isolated though.

✔️ This chart has been marked as final and shouldn't receive any more changes.

Path to Nowhere (M0nkeyz) [9/10]
>Permission good (CC BY-NC-SA)
>Sync good
>Folder contents, metadata good

(Playtest Impression)(0.85x Rate) Yep, that’s good. Very stamina draining breakcore file. Accentuates all my weaknesses though hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ;_;

As far as I’m concerned this file is executed basically perfectly. I’ve gone through this a few times looking for anything to suggest for tweaks and ….yeah… nothing.

Well done!

Path to Nowhere (M0nkeyz) [7.5/10]
>Perms, metadata, sync good

7.422-7.689/8.222-8.489/15.955-16.222/16.755-17.022/etc - Missing some 16ths here.
20.555/37.555/38.555/1:10.622/1:11.622/1:12.289/1:12.555/2:46.622 - Missing note
20.622-21.422 - Technically some 16ths here, but I guess it’s omitted for hand pattern variety?
24.622-24.822 - Could buff these to jumps to represent the “now very loud” kick sound of this ascending noise section.
27.555/41.422/42.222 - Later into the song, this loud kick sound is stepped as jumps. So shouldn’t this spot be a jump as well?
36.355 - Should be jump
39.022-39.222 - Descending roll? Maybe 2143?
40.899-41.022 - There’s no buzz sound to warrant the 24ths. The sound comes after 41.022.
45.955-46.955 - Compare 20.622-21.422. Please decide if you want to omit 16ths or nerf some of the hands into jumps to fit in the 16ths. This applies to hand-heavy sections similar to this one later into the file.
48.622-48.889 - No 24ths for the buzz?
1:08.355 - After this point of the file, this loud kick noise is now hand?
1:11.822-1:12.022 - Better as trill?
1:33.422-1:33.889 - Mind making this trill 24’s to avoid the [1] anchor?
1:35.822-1:36.022 - Should be 3412.
1:45.155-1:45.689 - Surprised there wasn’t any 24ths here.
2:09.055-2:09.111 - These two notes sound like a single 16th.
2:37.155-2:37.289 - Why not step this buzz noise as the usual 24ths?

>>Solid breakcore file. Could use a consistency check though.

Thanks for the notes, will take a look over the weekend.

7.422 - 17.022 etc: I don't really find these prominent enough to include.
20.555: These notes are in rough spots :/ I feel they aren't super prominent and would make the transitions exponentially harder.
20.622: Yeah kinda hard to include these.
24.622: Good suggestion, but I feel it would ruin the build up to the 24ths.
42.222.: 27.555: Done, 41.422 also has a sub beneath it which warrants a hand imo.
36.355: Done
39.022 - 39.222: Made it a 1321
40.899: Woops changed.
45.955: These 16ths are louder
48.622: I feel this is more of a ''background buzz'', compare it to something like 19.823 and the difference is quite big imo.
1:08.355: Yeah, I feel this sound fuels the ''drive'' of the song from this point onward and I wanted to emphasise that.
1:11.822: Agreed.
1:33.422: Changed it up.
1:35.822: Done.
1:45.155: Changed it up.
2:09.055: I'm hearing more than just a 16th here.
2:37.155: Not sure lol, changed.

The inconsistent layering of hands at the beginning/end was bothering me alot, so I changed it up by altering the bursts slightly. It's pretty consistent, but if you want to have a look I can send you the new version.

Nerfed some of the harder 24th bursts. Most notably the ones between hands.
