Re: blind's minipack (Hurry dl now!)

Thanks guys! I hope you each find a file that fits your cup of tea. =)

Re: blind's minipack (Hurry dl now!)

So, I never received any reviews for this. =/ Hate to be the guy to bump his own thread, but I've found a deeper interest in stepping.

Thanks,

blind

Re: blind's minipack (Hurry dl now!)

only thing i'd say you need to really work on is balance and conformity
by balance i mean your songs have parts that are very easy and parts that spike and are very difficult, those sudden temporary bursts of difficulty are normally frowned upon by most D:
and conformity, i mean like in starwolf, your 16s rhythms are different in every measure, try n learn to stick to the same rhythm in each phrase (entirely dependent on the music ofc)

you can acquire these characteristics by stepping a shit load of shit so keep it up and make this pack huge!

Re: blind's minipack (Hurry dl now!)

Thanks man. I now realize I have to keep the difficulty similar throughout the file. I'm stepping another song now, so hopefully it'll be an improvement.

Re: blind's minipack (Hurry dl now!)

downloading now, ofc I'm gonna support members of da smo crew (which we should play sometime). reviews coming soon.

Re: blind's minipack (Hurry dl now!)

I feel dickish for not reviewing these files.

Re: blind's minipack (Hurry dl now!)

Keep it up man

Re: blind's minipack (Hurry dl now!)

This :c

Re: blind's minipack (Hurry dl now!)

cedo and I smo'd these files the other night. woot.

reviews:

Crash - not my cup of tea, haha. anyone who plays 250bpm gabber ought to grab this file though. seems accurate enough anyway.

Eiffel 65 remix (oni) - maybe I should've played heavy... some of those dense sections are brutal, haha. all I can really say is that picking music to make for an interesting simfile is key. the song itself is pretty repetitive.

Starwolf - I agree that this one's the best of the bunch. very fun! jumps were well placed. cedo and I both thought the 32nd patterns worked nicely. quite enjoyable overall.

Syndrome Craze (heavy) - old. school. I liked it, personally. can't really go wrong when you keep things simple. repetitive, maybe, but steady rhythms and patterns that flow well can still make a file like this one worthwhile. one major stylistic point I'd like to make: pattern choice matters, even at slow speeds. the 8th section at the beginning has some "minijacks" which don't fit the pitches in the song. even though the patterns don't add any improper difficulty, they still don't quite feel right, especially for spread players (aka everyone).

White and Nerdy - cedo and I both enjoyed this file rhythmically, the file is close to dead-on. jumps and hands emphasized major sounds. nothing flagrant here to detract from a player's fun. I actually think the song choice works in your favor here, because the verses and choruses get changed up some throughout the song. again, song choice is KEY.

one thing you could start working into some of your files is to layer using a single-note-per-sound scheme. doesn't work perfectly for all songs, but sometimes it leads to NEXT LEVEL SHIT. I think you could hit up the tutorial thread in this board for more info.

overall: hell yeah. for as long as you remain interested, keep on making files, and you'll pick up more and more creative ways to express the music you hear. thanks for putting these files up!

Re: blind's minipack (Hurry dl now!)

And a review out of nowhere! Thanks danceguy! We'd play together if you would get on once in a while! (When I'm on)
