Astronomic Metal Collection 2

Re: Astronomic Metal Collection 2

I actually forgot to play Heavy, lol.

I made the mandatory Heavy chart and you FORGOT TO PLAY IT!? SULFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!

Okay, you're right about measure 118, but you still left out a few jumps in that section... and put a random 8th jump that doesn't belong.

I'll probably step the drums for the Heavy chart.
Is this the random jump?



That IS a 192nd hold, which means its a cymbal crash.

Minifreezes should be 16th streams.

Not sure what to follow, but I guess I'll just do it as a stream.

Re: Astronomic Metal Collection 2

Can someone PLEASE step "You Were the King, and Now You're Unconscious" from the new Atreyu album? And possibly a GOOD stepchart for bleeding mascara?

THAT WOULD MAKE MY DAY.

No, the 8th jump is sandwiched between the 4th jumps in measure 119. There ain't no cymbal there.

If you slow the music rate down, it becomes pretty obvious that 16ths should be where those minifreezes are.

Re: Astronomic Metal Collection 2

Oh whoops. I wanted that pattern to be consistent, so I forgot to remove the jump.
Will send in the fixed .SM soon.

I'll look into it.

And a good BM chart would be cool. Funny how there are so few good metal files. Not the easiest genre to step. =P

Re: Astronomic Metal Collection 2

Measures 125-126 are retarded.

Maybe measure 124-125.5? I can't seem to deduce what you are specifically talking about if you aren't referring to the fast 141 bpm jump section, which is technically accurate to the music.

Also, why is that stream of jumps easier on Edit than on both Heavy and Challenge?

Which one? There are several streams of jumps in the song.

Put the retarded patterns on Edit, the slightly retarded but not as much patterns on Challenge (or change it all together), and something simpler on Heavy. Remove the out of place, random hand(s) in Challenge or put hands throughout the whole chart.

Are you sure you're commenting on the right chart? Challenge only had one extraneous hand on m112.5 (my fault - must have missed it when I went to remove hands.) All the retarded patterns are in Edit - I can't imagine anything being easier. Same with Heavy - I took out the long solo, most of the jumps, and simplified most patterns. Is there something in specific you are referring to?

The biggest problem is the sync. It needs some help.

Uh...sync is off? I assume you're taking about the solos? If so, they're perfectly synced - you have to slow down the song substantially to hear where each individual note goes, though. Try .2 or .3x.

If you're going to argue with me, I'll gladly just reject the file without any comment next time.

The stream of jumps is the exact same one as the one in measure 123-125. It's stupid because it's freaking impossible (okay that's exaggerating). Like I said, the patterns of it are easier on Edit than Challenge, and it shouldn't even be in the Heavy chart because it makes the difficulty even more inconsistent.

By retarded patterns, I was only referring to measure 123-125. The rest of the file was pretty good, okay.

N.T.M. also said the sync was off. That means the sync is off. I can't tell you where the sync is off. That's you're job. If you make everything else okay I might not even care though.

Maybe I could explain things better, but I don't need to explain anything in the first place. Reviews aren't what I'm good at. *shrugs*

HEY! You said PR wasn't important!

It really depends on how good the patterns are. The only parts of the song I do prefer to be PR are the solos.

Re: Astronomic Metal Collection 2

There is no need to be so combative - I was just asking for some clarification.

I spoke to N.T.M on AIM - he said the solo was synced great, and all other sync issues were very minor. When you said it was "a big issue", I had assumed you came to that conclusion through your own independent analysis, which contradicted what he told me. as for the jump section, I will remove it on Heavy, so I will resend the file later tonight.

N.T.M. also said the sync was off. That means the sync is off.

It seemed generally close in DDReam. Things were a bit off intermittently, and in a few places I know you favored the guitar over the drums even though at 1x speed it looks as though they layer perfectly. Sometimes in that case you gotta apply what I call "the theory of subjectivity": since drums have a definitive beginning and guitar doesn't, if the gap is negligible you should favor the drums, but still layer in the guitar.

Sync, again, seemed good overall, but to really ascertain its accuracy it takes a really long time (especially with guitar).

Guitar solos also seemed fine overall although I think a few things could be tightened up by a couple 192ds or so. That's nothing though.

PR was my main concern.

I have an inkling that he's primarily referring to that same drum-vs-guitar section I told you about.

Sorry, I've been sick, which generally makes me cranky and aggressive. That's no excuse though, is it?

Mostly, yes.

Re: Astronomic Metal Collection 2

Sulfer is always quite the diplomat.

Also, I should be able to crank out reviews tonight.

Oh hey, can you hold that review of Native File until I send in the fixed .SM?
