Greyblood (Storn42) [8/10]

PERMS OK
SYNC OK

1:37.915: Missing note? The guitar hits here. Same for 1:50.302, 3:03.076 and 3:15.463.

1:44.399: At this point I'm not entirely sure if I understand the layering of the hands so far. Some snares like this one seem to be missing (see 1:47.495 too and a couple of earlier snares, please check for consistency).

2:32.786: This section feels slightly odd due to the "PR" being focused on the drums, which fully ignores the different notes of the vocals and the bass on the hands. It's not necessarily bad, but it does sacrifice a bit of representation for little to no gain from that motif. Same concern for the earlier section at 1:09.173 although in the earlier iteration the guitar is much clearer with the repeated chords so that one could probably stay as is.

Really fun chart. Drags a little but there's enough pattern variety to keep things interesting. Check out the layering and PR. Good stuff.

11.882 - Why no jump? Compare 12.270
- fixed

26.205 - Why no jump? Compare 27.753/29.302
- fixed

49.237 - Ghost note
- fixed

1:02.011/1:02.108 - Why is this not on [1]? These are kicks, not the staircasey guitar melody
1:02.399/1:02.786 - Should be on [1]? Compare the logic of 57.366-59.689 where all the kicks are on [4]
1:05.495/1:05.882 - Should be on [2]?
- The anchoring of the kicks isn't as important to me after the main melody of the section. The anchors are there to emphasize the rhythm which isn't as needed during the simpler 8th sections.

1:37.334 - Why is this jump, but not 1:37.044? Compare 1:49.431-1:49.818
3:00.850/3:01.237/3:01.721/3:13.237/3:13.624/3:14.108 - Why jump?
- to be honest, the layering here is kind of loose based on what felt right to do at the time rather than some rigid structure.

- I dont hear it. Its possible there is a short guitar slide/bend but it should be fine without a 16th there.

1:44.399: At this point I'm not entirely sure if I understand the layering of the hands so far. Some snares like this one seem to be missing (see 1:47.495 too and a couple of earlier snares, please check for consistency).
- good catch, quite a few of those snares should be hands.

2:32.786: This section feels slightly odd due to the "PR" being focused on the drums, which fully ignores the different notes of the vocals and the bass on the hands. It's not necessarily bad, but it does sacrifice a bit of representation for little to no gain from that motif. Same concern for the earlier section at 1:09.173 although in the earlier iteration the guitar is much clearer with the repeated chords so that one could probably stay as is.
- The PR isn't focused on the drums though. Just like last time it follows the guitar. Now that the snares and cymbals are also accenting the guitar notes, i would argue the song puts an even greater focus on those beats. The guitar has been a focus point of the chart as a whole so i think its perfectly fine to focus on guitar pr instead.
