Re: Yo Patashu I finished the "Power Supply" heres the link.

sec

edit 1: haha the mp3 got gayed up so bad by resonance :flash:

it's fine for real tho so I'll play it brb

Re: Yo Patashu I finished the "Power Supply" heres the link.

What is this, "resonance"? *noob* ;-;

Re: Yo Patashu I finished the "Power Supply" heres the link.

resonance is what the simfile database is called, it presents the mp3 (and chart if there are no bpm changes) but runs it through flash first so weirdly encoded mp3s gay out on it

anyway, playing both heavy and oni I think I liked heavy more. oni felt like it had too much gratuitous bs thrown in to make it harder, like I'm sure most of those 16th triplets weren't actually in the song and the mines didn't have much rhyme or reason

overall I'd say you have the right kind of idea but you need to be a lot more careful about the way you step things. as a general rule of thumb, most music is made up of sections that repeat, or repeat with an extra instrument thrown in; when a musical section repeats, you should step it the same way, or in a slightly harder way, but even if you do keep the prior stepping style as a base.

within a given musical section though you definitely have to remain consistent. If you're stepping a particular instrument keep stepping it, only bring things in part of the time if there are 'gaps' between another instrument's notes that needs to be filled in. once you step it that way, every time the musical section repeats you should step it the same way again.

same goes for freeze usage, if you're stepping an instrument with freezes don't suddenly stop mid-section. anyway...

in the section immediately following the opening trills: you miss a particular bass kick each time it repeats, see if you can find it. and the 12ths leading out of it definitely aren't there. I'd either use a hold arrow or mines to represent that 'wind' noise imho, or ignore it.

just before the first hold: the hold on a blue note shouldn't be there, there is a snare kick there going red blue, blue and the melody goes red, , blue there. the stop really shouldn't be there, since it prevents you from stepping the sounds properly. the 12ths immediately after should be 16ths, and the second one should end in a jump since it 'collides' with the drums that lead out of it

when the main melody kicks in, you step it with freezes initially than stop. Either do it for the whole thing or don't do it at all. You have a constant run following in its wake, and there's definitely nothing to put a constant run to, unless you want to step the quite background noise still going from the very beginning (don't, it's kinda boring). I can hear the main melody, the snare, the bass kick and the hi-hat, layer one or more of those going from left to right depending on how hard you want it to be. Oh, and in measure 27-28 where you have freezes coming back in, presumably to the accented notes of the main melody, they're actually not on sync there. Be careful, if you're not sure check your work on rate 0.5x or lower

the parts with the 16th triplets, why didn't you step the first two of those? you only stepped the last four. the part immediately after that should have been constant minijacks, like 1122334411332244 or something

measure 37, you didn't step the bass kick going into the snare there. a bit after in measure 38, the 8th jack should be 4th notes long and the last note should be on a different column. the drums that go along with the rhythm after that, why not step them both at once? in measure 41 I'd step the 24ths as 16ths, it might actually be 32nds briefly but that's a bit too fast. the 16th gallops going off of red notes in measure 42 are definitely incorrect. measure 44-45, there's no need to have the melody cut out here. measure 46 you're stepping drums with freezes when you've established that the freezes only go to the melody, so...

the freeze note that goes through measure 50 should be split in two, since it 'bounces' half way through, and you incorrectly step the drums around it.

measure 55, the jack is way too long. listen closer, it's split up into 3-5 notes at a time. btw you've missed 16ths to the drums here and there if you want to make the file legitimately harder

measure 63 on, the main part of the song comes back in again but you step it differently. try actually following the melody and drums :P measure 75, why hold a freeze while hitting the 16th triplets this time? etc etc

okay I'm going to stop now, I hope you get the idea. layering, consistency, correct rhythms and patterns blah blah blah

also if you find a cool sound and step it make sure you step it again when it comes in again in the same part(s) of that song, don't 4get

Re: Yo Patashu I finished the "Power Supply" heres the link.

Holy s**tf**k. I know this is barely an excuse at all but my laptop doesn't have any slot for me to put in headphones so I gotta make due with listening to the sound all sharp and noisey.

Still sticking to the less complainy side, I got a lot to learn, not sure if I'm a lost cause just yet, but whatever, thanks for the advice though.

Notes: -Didn't understand some of the instrument names like "jack?"
-I don't know where I picked this up from,(maybe ITG) but I always thought that the cool songs were always easy in the beginning and get harder and harder by the time the song ends. Probably a bad mistake I should fix up. Sigh, well, cya. =/

Re: Yo Patashu I finished the "Power Supply" heres the link.

oh, sorry

a jack is a repetition of the same column over and over in quick succession. it's a pattern not an instrument, like how a trill or a roll is a pattern

http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...ad.php?t=37697 < this thread is good for all the basic pattern terminology, the 'framers' stuff is just an ffr thing tho

as for charts getting harder near the end: normally that happens when the song actually is getting more complicated near the end, so there's more to step and layer. if it's not then it probably doesn't warrant making it get harder and harder, but if you want you can step more and more every time a pattern repeats, build apon what you did the last time it came in
