Kil's Dark Chancellors Pack 2 (Submissions Open)

Re: Kil's Dark Chancellors Pack 2 (Submissions Open)

k here's ur expres delivery. one judgement ala patashu

no imo
-straightforward gabber file, decently stepped but lacking in depth
-has nothing to do with guitar hero??? what a let down
-I prefer the edit chart btw. the runningmen aren't THAT bad, they're only awkward if mixed in with one-handed trills (possibly caused by jumpstream) or very fast, which this chart avoids
-you could think about layering in that vocal sample that goes blue, yellow. it would help it be different

measure by measure breakdown:
m4: the melody you put freezes to at the end of this measure starts a 16th earlier than you started putting down freezes. so it would go 12343. fix this every time it pops up (m8, m12, m16, m20, m24)
m12: the last blue note of this measure could be made a jump cuz it's two melodies overlayered (if you change this make sure it also changes in similar places)
m26: I see the instrument the freezes are meant to be following but you did it wrong. it goes like this in measure 26: x.x.x.x.x..x.x.x.x (ie four 8ths, then four yellows coinciding with the vocal samples. however the last two notes are SLIGHTLY later than yellow. I can't pin it down exactly) then in measure 27: x.x.x.x.x....x.x.x (the same but without the first yellow note, i.e. it starts yellow notes coinciding with the vocal samples)
m77-m79: try stepping the clicking this time, seeing as it's the outro and all

That's quicker than what I'm used to. I'm pleasantly surprised.

-straightforward gabber file, decently stepped but lacking in depth

Yeah, soz.

-has nothing to do with guitar hero??? what a let down

I only think the title has to do with the main melody synth, which I suppose does sound a bit like a lead guitar. Aw well.

-I prefer the edit chart btw. the runningmen aren't THAT bad, they're only awkward if mixed in with one-handed trills (possibly caused by jumpstream) or very fast, which this chart avoids

Fo' realz? May consider putting that as the main then, depending on other opinions. I have tried to be at least a little considerate concerning patterns overall, and perhaps it shows.

-you could think about layering in that vocal sample that goes blue, yellow. it would help it be different

I have thought about it, but I don't like what I'm coming up with, i.e. more jumpstream territory. I know I could layer it, but in my head at least it seems rather messy, especially in the last quarter or so of the song. More mini-freezes are thought too I guess, but I've already thrown in about 300,000,000 of those already. I may have to look into what other options I have available if I can't make them work, assuming I even need to.

The suggested measure fixes meanwhile shouldn't be too difficult to tweak. Now I'm just wondering if I should send it again today once I'm done or wait for more critique from others first.

Re: Kil's Dark Chancellors Pack 2 (Submissions Open)

it's not your fault; you did more or less all you could with the song (minus the few technical errors)

yeah, don't add in the vocal sample thing as more minifreezes O_O but you could think about incorporating it in the more 8thier parts of the song.

Looking at it, I agree with you. Of course there will be better songs to step, but I really wanted to do this one. This is a matter of motivation. =)

What I've thought of doing is just adding an extra plain arrow every time the sample comes up. I could probably get away with doing that between measures 9-24 alone. Where the samples are concerned, I didn't use mini-freezes before, so there's arguably little need for more. (lolrhyme) I think that will be acceptable.

Re: Kil's Dark Chancellors Pack 2 (Submissions Open)

So I resent my file. Hope the folks approve moar, though I can imagine there will be more to say from other judges. As long as it turns out awesome/ish, I'm willing to work on it a fair while.

Re: Kil's Dark Chancellors Pack 2 (Submissions Open)

I must say this is frustrating. All these new packs and I can't do anything . Nothing but wait for my ****ing computer parts!!! I hate this.

Re: Kil's Dark Chancellors Pack 2 (Submissions Open)

how are you sending posts then ?_?

DCP isn't going to close for a while. it's very very unlikely that you'll miss out

Re: Kil's Dark Chancellors Pack 2 (Submissions Open)

i made a new stepfile out of boredom and wanting to relive stepmania nostalgia

it's love countdown by fastway, a new eurobeat song. it's a great song. is eurobeat ok?

[Patashu]

Re: Kil's Dark Chancellors Pack 2 (Submissions Open)

the genre isn't important, how cool the file is is important. we had obligatory eurobeat file in dcp1 so your chances are good

yo scylaax don't step vanessa. if you wanna step a 12th song try promised land (teranoid mix), there was a xoon megapack 2 file for it but it sucked and it missed all the weird colournotes that teranoid uses in his songs (like some of the gallops are actually 16ths, etc, look through the song there are lots of aberrations)

Re: Kil's Dark Chancellors Pack 2 (Submissions Open)

Oh, right.
I'll see :0

Re: Kil's Dark Chancellors Pack 2 (Submissions Open)

alright awesome!

i'm putting a lot of time into it, so it shouldn't dissappoint. how many files can we make for this? i'm thinking i can easily find 2 more awesome songs to throw in there.

also whats the competition like for quality? if it's tight i may spend a whole week crafting a single file

edit: forgot to mention if you guys would like someone else judging i wouldn't mind. never judged a pack (except for.. keyboard collab 1/2) before so i wouldn't mind helping out if you guys need it

Good taste

I can upload the 5 min version here if there is anyone interested...
Actually the first half minute should be cut but rest remains... the later half is more awesome anyways imo.

Re: Kil's Dark Chancellors Pack 2 (Submissions Open)

as it says on the first post (I think) you can submit as many files as you want but for every file you get in subsequent ones will be judged harsher and harsher.

as for average quality, it doesn't have to be perfect but it has to stand out. I couldn't tell you the average, most of it's ffrcpIII stuff I never got lol
