Re: Any good unstepped Dream Theatre sims

Hmm... I'd have to say Learning to Live, Under a Glass Moon, Panic Attack, or The Mirror

Under a Glass Moon has already been stepped perfectly by the one and only GLoVE.

Re: Any good unstepped Dream Theatre sims

I think so. It's in either one of the SMGs, definitely, though.

EDITed all GLoVE's rock sims in my post.

Re: Any good unstepped Dream Theatre sims

god I love Under A Glass Moon.

ps GLoVE is the only person who has ever made a good Dream Theatre file. Patashu's Dark Eternal Night was kind of annoying.

Re: Any good unstepped Dream Theatre sims

Didn't mean comments on your sim. Meant what you've said in the DF thread.


*edit*

Downloading and will play the file. After I'll do so, I'll leave comments in this thread then tell you what I think you should step (if anything)



*edit*

Congratulations, you have met my expectiations for that file. It sucked big time.

0.25/5- First of all, learn to adjust the gap. It was off by -54ms. Very noticeable. Learn to layer, seriously. Parts feel empty and awkward, as well as boring, as a result. Technical accuracy. Where can I begin? It was not present whatsoever; you had 16ths where there should have been 12ths; you started and ended rhythms incorrectly. Jump placement was pretty lame. Hold usage sucked and was inconsistent, as well. Sometimes you had holds to longer guitar notes, etc. when you shouldn't have and sometimes when it worked you were inconsistent with it throughout the file. Jack usage was also bad and inconsistent. Very very few of the jacks fit with the song (pitch relevance and accuracy). One-handed 24th/32nd trill (dont remember which, probably 32nd) when it easily could have been something else. Congratulations, you created another reason for why people wouldn't enjoy the file. Just plain inconsistency. You often switched around what sounds you were stepping at times- NOT A GOOD THING TO DO. Pitch relevancy errors. Pretty clear. The 0.25 out of 5 I gave you results from a couple of parts with surprisingly accurate pitch relevancy for a couple of seconds as well as having arrows in your file. Poor transitions from one part to another. The song has pretty decent ones, and so should you to follow with it. I could go on and on, but I'll stop here since these are most, if not all (might have forgotten), of the major errors that are in this file.



tl;dr - this is worse than the average DF sim congratulations



don't even THINK about dream theater for a long, long time.

Wow. Well first off regarding the transitions: considering that the drums were frequently present at the same time as the guitar, my layering couldn't be consistent. That's simply impossible. The transitions between the two were as fluent as the song permitted IMO. Obviously you disagree. I don't really know what you mean by pitch consistency. I made an effort to consider it at all times. And yes, the jack usage is inconsistent. Take the intro for starters: I converted those jacks to triplets while I kept the longer ones at the end. I prefered the flow that way. I also must disagree regarding the 12ths. Sounded like 16ths to me.

I've played quite a few DF sims, and to say that it's quite below average is inarguably incorrect.

Whatever though. Consider that my last sim.

Re: Any good unstepped Dream Theatre sims

yea dude.....jacks = useless and incosistent.

mesure 25-34 are 12ths.

Well I'll look at it again. Perhaps I was so certain they were 16ths I neglected looking into it further like all the other sections.

Re: Any good unstepped Dream Theatre sims

I don't know how you did not see that they're 12ths..

Eh, sometimes I make stupid mistakes like that. It happens.

Re: Any good unstepped Dream Theatre sims

EVERYONE PLEASE CHECK OUT "WHEN THE WATER BREAKS"

Quite possibly the best stepfile ever made. 17 minutes of awesomeness. granted, it's liquid tension experiment or w/e they're called, so it's dream theater minus james la brie+ some dude on chapman stick. but yea. PLEASE PLAY THIS FILE BECAUSE IT IS AWESOME! and I did not make the file lol, I just really appreciate the simfile

Re: Any good unstepped Dream Theatre sims

okay you guys need to stop being jackasses and being all like HAY YOU SUCK YOUR SIMS ARE TERRIBLE when you could be helping him improve and get better

true, he's not amazing but he does have some potential to make a few decent sims if he got better. when I completely bash someone it's only because they're a complete idiot and will never ever make a half-decent piece of crap. this guy isn't one of them.

Umm... Thanks? lol Well hey like I've said before I'm open for CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. I'm gonna forget about DT for now cuz obviously I'm having trouble with just DF. Now after I correct the beat offset and those 12th notes, what should I do? I really did try to be careful with my layering. Like I've said before, it can't always be consistent if you include the drums since if you "overlayer" guitar sections with the drums it would detract from the guitar (which I thought was more fun than just 16th streams).

I know what to do with some of those jacks. A few I'd like to keep. I love those 2 note jacks near the intro, but I did overdo some sections no doubt.

Also regarding the jumps: I tried to pay attention to pitch relevence by putting higher notes towards the right and lower notes towards the left.

So what needs to happen? What's the correct beat offset for starters?

Re: Any good unstepped Dream Theatre sims

you can still do the same pattern you had with the 16th, but use 12ths instead.
