-[00:28.423] Kind of expecting the flam here to be in a different column has it doesn’t share PR with the previous flam in this portion.

-[00:51.825] flam usage notably absent from this section?

-[01:32.025] Because of this 8th being here, kinda wish that previous iterations of these 8ths were filled in as well (01:29.625, 01:27.225 e.g.)

-[02:31.422 & similar sections] These are pretty gimmicky. I understand the pretense behind them. Personally, I feel like they could be better harped upon by skipping a column based on PR, (the pitch changes from measure to measure) but the current approach is relatively fine too.

-[06:16.941] Same sorta flam PR call-out as 00:28.423.

-[08:39.874] 24ths, not 16ths.

-Plays pretty alright. The section starting at 02:55.200 is by far the hardest in the song, tackling chordjacks and tight 16th js at 220bpm. On a personal thought, I think this could fit as a good token file between some of the gimmicky sections & the sheer length of the file.

- 0:00.0623 You can clearly hear attacks before each of the notes here. For example 0:00.823 can be heard at 0:00.790 and 0:01.023 can be heard at 0:00.965 This is over 100ms earlier. the sync seems to get fixed once the drums kick in.

- 0:09.273 no flam here despite 0:09.673 getting a flam?

- 0:10.156 might be better to make this a single note. It sounds like only the lead guitar plays here, where as all the previous jumps had drums and other guitars.

- 0:21.773 cant hear anything for this note. Even the other 32nd is quite hard to hear. might be a good idea to remove one of both of them.

- 0:22.523 missing 16th for the drum kick like 0:22.323

^ Similar notes on the repeat.

- 0:28.023 this is a jump while 0:09.623 was a single note.

- 0:28.456 I think the note here is a bit early. The guitar note here sounds closer to 0:28.490 to me.

- 0:38.023 Not quite sure i understand the patterning here. The trills seem a bit out of place for whats going on in the song. I can clearly hear the guitar strums at 0:39.023 so the anchor makes sense, although its not repeated at 0:40.423

- 0:41.623 Rhythm here is completely wrong. The drums start playing 16ths here and skip 0:41.923

- 0:45.325 appears to be another missing kick.

- 0:49.425 This seems to be the clearest this sound can be heard in the song and i just dont hear any 32ns here. I can hear 3 clear 16ths from the guitars, but i'm honestly confused at the 32nds. I think they just might be ghost notes.

- 0:51.325 a third repeat, a third variation. this time with no flam.

- 0:57.025 feels like a jump could be added hear for the cymbal.

- 0:57.735 a jump here just seems wrong. This note just appears to be the guitarist sliding to play the next note and has no attack. This really doesn't warrant a jump, and maybe not even a note.

- 0:58.558 this cymbal is quite soft and hard to hear. it might be better to remove the note. (also one uncharted at 58.492)

- 0:59.425 The snare doesn't start until 0:59.625 so this trill really shouldn't start until then either. 0:59.525 also seems to be a ghost note.

- 1:03.725 missing note for the kick. another one at 1:04.325

- 1:07.725 is missing a note. It has also been charted previously as a minijack at 1:03.325 I can understand omitting it due to the following 24th.

- 1:07.825 This roll seems a bit out of place since you've been charting 24ths as streams the whole time. I dont hear anything to cause this one in particular to be a roll. I think its fine to use more rolly patterns but using a straight roll just seems out of place compared to the rest of the chart.

- 1:09.425 fourth appearance, no new variations.

- 1:12.425 Comparing this to 0:30.623 there is quite a big difference in density and i dont really see a reason why. With the new added density 1:13.025 really feels like a missing note to me.

- 1:19.425 Considering the next section, it might be a good idea to add in more notes for the guitar in this section. I can hear quite a few 16th burst with the most clear one being 1:21.225

- 1:23.158 this note can be hard to hear. i'm not sure if its even there.

- 1:23.825 this rhythm is very clearly 12ths.

- 1:24.425 sounds like a note for the guitar here like the following 16th. Same for all the similar 16ths in the section.

- 1:27.825 i dont think the rhythm is quite right here. Something like this seems more accurate. https://i.imgur.com/tkNqaqu.png also maybe consider making 1:28.125 a jump for snare.

- 1:30.492 i know you aren't following the kicks but the lack of 12ths here sticks out to me, especially when other drums like 1:30.358 have notes. having other drum fills like 1:23.025 adds to why it feels like its missing.

- 1:32.025 and as i say you aren't following kicks here is one.

- 1:32.625 see 1:27.825

- 1:35.225 considering 1:36.458 The rhythm here seems incorrect and the 48th seems to be misplaced.

- 1:35.628 only note like this not to be a 48th

- 1:38.125 I dont really think having this 16th in the trill really sells how abrupt and out of place the snare is.

- 1:38.325 Im not sure this note is accurate. There is no percussion here and from the sounds of it the guitars are playing 12ths with maybe a 24th burst at the end.

** 1:39.025 Maybe i'm focusing too much on the percussion, but this section doesn't really seem to fit with the music. the rhythms just dont seem quite right to the point where im not sure what you're following. I see notes that dont have sounds and sounds that dont have notes and a lot of the 32nds just dont make sense to me. I need this explained to me or maybe the section just need to be recharted.

- 1:48.625 sounds like these 32nds might be 24ths

- 1:54.825 missing 8ths? i'm hearing a bunch of squeaks like at 1:49.625 and figure thats what the 8ths are for, but we have more sqeaks and no notes.

- 1:59.225 why do the 24ths stop? the drums continue and it doesnt seem like the guitar is playing 24ths (maybe 16ths or 12ths)

- 2:06.672 this is the first 32nd burst i can confidently hear, but this is a ghost note, and probably the 16th too.

- 2:17.472 copy/pasted mistake

- 2:27.322 shouldn't this 16th jack with the 4th and not the 8th similar to 2:26.722?

- 2:29.824 no jump here seems a bit out of place.

- 2:31.422 I'll be honest the 3 key section here just seems arbitrarily placed. I'm guessing you really wanted to make the section harder but didn't want to increase density. There is just no musical justification for this and i dont think it works as its currently charted. However I do have a suggestion to keep the 3 key and add some musical relevance. A tool from my toolbelt i gift to you. What if instead of Keeping the notes on the same 3 keys for the entire section, you switch which keys are being played. A good spot for this would be the white jumps. To take this one step further you could PR those 3 keys with the guitar like you would with hands. Now the 3 key section follows the music and is no longer just arbitrarily placed, and it isn't overly heavy on just one hand.

- 3:07.649 Unsure this note should be a jump. Sounds similar to notes like 3:06.968 which dont get jumps. I hear the note at 3:15.285 but it sounds much clearer, where 3:07.649 feels more like a pause than a note.

- 3:28.785 kinda rude patterning on the right hand here.

- 3:40.797 again, i just dont see 3 key working here.

- 3:57.297 The 32nd bursts here are inaccurate. The percussion is playing 48ths and doesn't even start until the 16th. same for the next burst.

- 4:26.847 hand usage seems to be wrong. The cymbals and hands dont line up in this part.

- 4:39.597 kinda wish the trills moved with the guitars like with 4:25.697

- 4:54.747 after listening in closely i cant hear anything for this trill. Even the guitars are playing 8ths here.

- 4:57.897 pretty sure this first part should still be 16ths and not 24ths. Those dont start until 4:58.097

- 5:15.803 unsure about these last 3 white notes. might be better left uncharted.

- 5:20.251 I'm really unsure about whats going on in this guitar solo here. I assume the guitar is supposed to be layered on top of everything but there are many places where the guitar has notes, but there are no jumps such as 5:24.389. Other jumps dont have guitar or any other sounds i can hear that would cause a jump like 5:28.734. Other places there are jumps that just dont follow the guitar rhythm remotely like the jumps and sounds closer to https://i.imgur.com/0I1Mq4t.png Or 5:35.148 which places the guitars 12ths on 16ths. It feels like this solo really needs another pass.

- 5:22.803 sounds closer to the 16th than the 24th to me.

- 5:37.424 the cymbals are still playing 24ths here, but are charted as 16ths

- 5:48.569 only cymbal in the section to not get a jump.

- 5:50.355 This minijack here is kind of weird since you completely ignore the kicks for the rest of the section and i cant hear anything else this note could be for. Though tbh considering the funky rhythm of the kicks compared to the constant 8ths of the bass, maybe it would've been better to focus on them instead along side the solo.

- 7:06.178 no minijack?

- 7:10.523 no jack like 7:04.110?

- 7:26.040 should be 24ths and not 32nds 7:26.661 is also missed 24ths.

- 7:36.525 random missing 16th

- 8:30.897 there are 4 notes here unlike the 3 16ths imply. This entire drum section has a lot more going on and a lot of omitted/incorrect rhythms. 8:33.473 for example should be a constant stream of notes but has weird offset rhythms

- 8:58.207 i dont hear anything for these 12ths

I get the feeling the creation of this chart may have been a bit rushed. Quite a few simple mistakes i would've expected to be caught found throughout. Just really feels like it needed more polish. outside of that its a fine enough file. I am always a fan of a nice egregiously long file :)

I know this has kinda been stuck in the batch for some time and has a fair bit of notes. Wanted to chime in and see what's happening.

I will be moving this as-is to Difficulty Consultants & for release after November 8th (Because it's Accepted & not Change Recommended).

Only just saw the poke post (don't log in to the site with this account much anymore lol)

This is going to take some more time to get it to a point I'm happy with. Hopefully by the end of the month?

Cool, will add it to the leniency list on my end.

Quick check-in to see where things are at in regards to this file, been in the batch for a fair bit, and should probably either move onto engine soon, or be resubmitted to another batch, etc.
