paraoka blanket permission
A somewhat complex polyrhythmic file with gradually increasing layering.
FOR JUDGES: a few notes.
29.73-59.26s: the 16th arp sound is ignored in this section, because it gets really tiresome and occurs throughout almost the entire song.
64.57-67.57s: sections like these I ignore the main synth melody temporarily because I want to focus on the other synth that staccatos. However, later on, for interest and layering, I add more into the pattern with light jumpjack sections such as at 80.72s.
77.49-78.64s: however in sections like these, I do my best with the layering but can only go so far, as layering in everything would create a jumpjack section that is a bit too long and messy, which is why the main melody is temporarily omitted in places like 78.41s.
103.56-114.63s: there's a lot of things going on simultaneously, but one that you might miss is the 12th melody that pops back in twice, which will explain arrows at places like 105.71s,106.02s,112.55s,113.09s,113.40s.

**You’re going to have to reduce the volume of these high pitches (especially those at 57.414, 1:41.478 and 1:56.243) and/or run a high-pass filter on this. My ears still hurt from my sightread. Gonna require fixing this for acceptance.

Playtest Impression, 1.0x Rate - Audio is actual pain. Chart might need some minor things.

29.037 - would argue for drum 24ths similar to 14.272
58.260 - 59.260 - (subjective, can ignore) Suggest changing the roll to 321 or 234 so this doesn’t end in a pretty rough right hand thing (You do this nicely with the other one of these at 1:42.555)

Optional things, understandable as-is for style etc.
-1:07.219 - Suggest 4 for better accuracy with the synth thing. You could do eg. 1 2 3 afterwards.
-1:21.984 - ^
-1:51.514 - ^

Chart is pretty enjoyable and well done on the whole. Needs an audio fix and it’s good to go.

Folder contains .dwi.

- 15.888(etc.): I find it interesting that you omit these 4th note rimshots, but you include the rimshot 12ths at 16.042 etc.
- 23.886: Put on column [3] for PR.
- 25.116: You have room to put this on [4] for PR, right now it's on the same column as 25.424 and it has a higher pitch than 24.808.
- 29.115(etc.): 24th roll? See 14.273.
- 32.845: Missing note to melody.
- 34.229: I feel 34.229/34.344 should be [3][4] for PR and it can be done without much friction.
**58.222, 102.632, 117.397: These should just be 32nd notes starting at 58.222, 102.632, 117.397.
- 102.555, 102.613: Ghost notes
- 117.378: Ghost note.
- 123.626(etc.): Are these jumps going to the melody? If so why are notes like 122.934 and 123.280 singles?

Excellent file, the layering is quite complex in this but also easy to understand. FR for 58.222 etc.

Also the audio is quite painful at the timestamps Tru mentioned.

Ok, so there are three sections of the song with the high-pitched sounds. I did a combination of compression + low-pass filter via Audacity to amend this. It WILL still sound high-pitched but it's the best I can do without compromising the song's audio quality entirely. Some effects may be subtle but there is a difference. If you can find a better way of adjusting the audio then be my guest.
