Hey, that's my sig!

Seriously, though, how about a short mention of the sm editor? xP

Cool idea, even though I didn't take the time to read the actual guide :s

do tell people that if they use mixmeister to round their bpm's off, and that 10% of the time they are inacurate like ****, like I dont even use mixmeister anymore.

also if they want to make xmod files with bpm changes and stops, good luck doing that in ddream

3.9+ + notepad++ is still the best to me for stepping tbh

you can do some xmod tricks easier in DDReam than SMeditor, such as smooth speedups/slowdowns. the grow beats and smooth changes tools work wonders.

lol stops though

As far as BPMing, I personally prefer setting the tempo manually (listening through and pressing B on each beat in sync mode). I always get better results and more "freedom" that way, in comparison of using some bpm finding soft.

If that helps anyone! Not a pro stepper by any means, but it's what I got out of my personnal experience.

Of course, I'm using DDReam lmao. If you prefer stepmania for stepping, I recommed doing that to put the bpms everywhere and then save as filename.sm, then step up on sm as you please! =3

mix meister works great when you're lazy and you know the song has a static bpm and a steady noticable rhythm.

just read the guide that you wrote up and no offense to you or anything. your input is appreciated but for someone who has never used ddream the steps you gave make no sense.

A lot of this can be curbed by common sense. It's not that difficult to tell when Mixmeister is wrong. On static bpms, Mixmeister is a very quick and easy program to grab your BPM. Using common sense, you'd also figure that the bpm of a song would be, for instance, 140 BPM, not 140.02 or 139.98*. If you're that easily fooled by Mixmeister then stay away from it lol. But it's not that hard and still a good tool to use. If you're still absolutely uncertain, then use DDream. Applies for static BPMs only.

*for those of you who don't know, BPMs on Mixmeister are often off by 0.02 BPM.

Re: What do i do to start making charts you ask? I've made it simple for you to start

I've already been personally thanked by 6 people. With comments along the lines of "i wasnt able to find DDream anywhere" and if they had found it, "that guide there was way over my head and i didnt feel like reading any of it so i just said **** it and didnt bother learning"

Which leads me to the reasoning to have this thread.. Also thanks Bmah, ill throw that in the OP real quick.
