lets gooo

Touk Touk (Lights & Tru) [6.5/10]

- Perms, metadata, sync are good

8.622-8.876 - I would honestly choose to ignore this to not let it blend with the 32nds rolls. Both used close together create a weird flow

10.810 - Not hand

14.560-16.435 - This is very nice

19.872 - PR, [14] not [24]

22.450 - Debatable if minijack

*24.950, 25.106, 25.731 - Not minijacks

30.419 - Ghost note

32.450 - Same as 22.450

*33.388, 35.888, 36.044, 39.638 - Not minijacks

*34.872-35.028 - Wrong quantization. According to your structure this glitchy break should be a 32nd

42.138 - Missing note

42.450 - Same as 22.450, 32.450

43.518, 43.674, 43.830 - Not a fan of these flams used together with the jumps. From playtesting it felt a bit disruptive

*50.810 - Very arguably not a minijack. Should be 3

*52.138 - Not a minijack

56.356 - Why minijack here?

*57.138 - Not a minijack

*1:04.403 - On the other hand, why no minijack here? Compare with 1:09.403

*1:08.310 - This is rude. I would highly suggest to keep it at [24]

1:11.981 - 20th, not 16th

1:15.966 - Not a jump if it goes to the drums. Even if not, feels oddly weird to place one here

*1:19.592-1:19.839 - While it matches with the waveform, the notes do not line up with the vocal. Double check

*1:20.966 - Minijack?

*1:24.716 - ^

1:25.419, 1:28.544, 1:32.294 - Like here you have minijacks, but the previous two notes you don't. What gives?

1:39.872-2:05.185 - What's the layering with the jumps and hands here? Why there are kicks/vocals that use layering as hands but others as jumps?

2:10.810, 2:12.685, etc - Not quite sure why these aren't jumps, also why 2:12.685 lands on the same column as the jumps. Should be 2 instead

2:21.278-2:22.060 - Unusual anchor on the right

2:26.747-2:30.497 - Oh that's just vile

2:30.575-2:30.731 - Ghost notes technically, unless it's for the vocals?

2:34.013 - Jump?

2:42.919 - Ghost note

*2:53.388 - Not a minijack

*2:57.060-2:57.216 - See 34.872-35.028

This file is really good. It has lots of variety to it and lots of difficult sections that can catch you off guard. That said, I tried really hard to not give it a reject rating, but the extensive misuse of minijacks in the file is too overbearing. That and the few more inconsistencies in the structure/layering is too much to consider a FR the way I see it. They are really minor errors/mistakes that unforunately spread out to the entire chart.

In an event this goes above reject rating, FR on the extensive misuse of minijacks, and general recheck of the notes.

Judge Score: 6.50 - Rejected

0.810 - fixed + fixed future iterations (Lights)
6.825 - fixed (Lights)
9.247-9.794 - fixed (Lights)
14.169 - fixed (Lights)
20.341 - fixed (Lights)
22.450 - fixed + fixed pr that wasnt noted but was wrong anyway (Lights)
22.919 - percussion + w/e that brass instrument is, im uncultured (Lights)
25.653-25.731 - fixed (Lights)
26.435-26.747 - fixed (Lights)
27.685-28.414 - explanation:
first bit = 32nd because sound starts strong. descending because pitch isnt moving up yet
second bit = 24ths because maintaining 32nds through here while switching stream direction would make this really hard for no reason.
third bit = 20ths to give the peak of the fourth bit more impact and to make it easier to transition into the fourth bit (24ths force a onehanded motion that doesnt reflect the movement of the sound as well)
fourth bit = 24ths to reflect the peak of the sound

I understand your concerns with this section, but i couldnt find an approach that did a better job of balancing relative difficulty while still capturing the more prominent aspects of the sound, opting to leave as-is (Lights)

30.028 - fixed (Lights)
36.435-36.591 - they are (offset) 24ths, just colored to reflect being a much different sound. didnt look right to me as vanilla 24ths (Lights)
38.031 - your timestamp here is incorrect. but fixed (Lights)
39.950 - fixed and moves stuff around to make it work (Lights)
40.810 - fixed (Lights)
41.122 - fixed (Lights)
41.435-41.747 - fixed (Lights)
42.685 - vocal + bass + melody (Lights)
47.528-47.685 - begrudgingly fixed. makes the transition into that trill a little rough, but doable (Lights)
48.466-48.830 - fixed (Tru)
52.685-53.153 - eehhhh ok (Tru)
53.356 - are you hallucinating a minijack? theres nothing here. (Lights)

1:25.341-1:25.419/1:28.310-1:28.544/1:32.060-1:32.294 - Should be more consistent (Tru)
1:40.731-1:40.810 - Subtly varies the tension a bit in response to chord changes. (This totally isn't my flimsy justification for not changing anything here) (Tru)
1:41.747 - fixed (Lights)
1:53.935/1:55.810 - fixed (Lights)
2:11.356/2:13.231/2:24.481/2:26.356 - This stays. (Tru)
2:12.528 - eehhhh ok (Tru)

1:39.872-2:05.185 - Think I removed a jump that was only on a vocal? idk it's otherwise pretty straightforward (Tru)
2:10.810, 2:12.685 - Layering: it makes sense in my head because music chills out hereeee aaahhhhh it's fine. Patterns: tweaked (Tru)
2:21.278-2:22.060 - eehhhh ok (Tru)
2:26.747-2:30.497 - This is kind of the only remotely good solution to this section that captures the trill, snares, and vocal (Tru)
2:30.575-2:30.731 - ye (Tru)
2:34.013 - Could see an argument for this but I think as is works better (Tru)
2:42.919 - Its not, but the note there is so faint that i'll remove it (Lights)
*2:53.388 - i disagree, but fixed (Lights)
2:57.060-2:57.216 - fixed (Lights)

These notes are really good. 6.5/10, write better notes next time. (Lights)
