    How do you determine if a song is "steppable"?

    I saw this term being thrown around a bit in the ODIpack3 submission thread, and me being a beginner stepper, I don't really know exactly what it means. What do you think makes a song steppable?

    For me, it's one with a complex and varying rhythm, with a clear melody to follow, while not being cluttered.

    Released!

      Steppable material is up to the chart maker. I tend to pick songs with beats that get caught in my head, or interesting rhythms to me that I try to capture.

      What is steppable to one person, isn't always steppable to another, and even then some songs are suited depending on the game.

                      Anything is steppable for the right reasons, more or less. However finding a song with lots of unique beats in it is very much desirable when it comes to stepping.

                      For instance, take majority of the songs from the blues. While there some blues that are really good, a lot of them don't have a lot of unique beats going on for a player to enjoy and play the song at the same time, if that makes any sense.

                      Another example is if you did pick a song with lots of beats, like generic techno, that may still not be steppable because the songs in nature are very repetitious in composition and would make the player get bored repeating the same rhythm.

                      So yeah, everything is steppable, but for the most part. It's very much desired that that song, whatever that may be, has lots of variations to the music.

                          if you listen to it and visualize steps you think is an appealing chart to yourself and possibly to other players then its steppable

                              anything is stepable

                              that doesn't mean the file will turn out interesting, fun, or good, though

                                  I did notice some trends when looking through my files, though. Ex. a ton of my files dated 2004-2006 were DJ Sharpnel.

                                      what choof said

                                      anything is steppable

                                      but the real question is

                                      is it PhUN??

                                      and then after that it's, how many ppl is it PhUN to? ?

The vocals are filled with slangs that gangs used since the 70s and a lot of the instrumentations are replaced with "Street Sounds" instead of traditional instruments. Music is defined as any combination of sounds that is pleasing to the ear, so while one person may find it as "noise" another person can find it pleasing to the ear and so call "vibe" with it as how I think the kids would say it these days.
