Head over to the FFR Batch Forum for all the details on how you can get your file into the game. The Artist Permissions forum section will help you find out if FFR has permission to use the song your file goes with.
Rap music is music. However, It's not in the traditional sense of how we understand music. 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.
ok updated w/ another batch. never thought of judging files like this before, no wonder FFR been doing that for years xd
anyway with file caps i'll put that in the rules, idc how many someone submits as long as i don't have like 10 files from one person in a single submission and like 9/10 are not even pack worthy.. i mean use your own judgment there. if you think all 10 are good then OK i can't argue with you so go ahead and submit all 10 files, but if you play it and think for a second.. "idk if anyone but me will play it" then please don't send it to me lol i mean maybe you have self-loathing issues but again your own judgment
don't be discouraged guys!! believe....
I know this is directed at me, lol. Just to clarify, I sent 13 files (some jokes, I admit) because I didn't know what kind of submissions you were expecting. With that said, I finished one of the two files I planned on doing for this pack (spent part of the afternoon on it). I sincerely think it turned great, and I hope it'll fit with your vision of the pack! <3 Sending soon after some more playtesting.

I wasn't really directing it at you cuz I had someone else sendl ike 10 files and half of them I recognized from other packs I judged for years ago....
But anyway graphics, I'll start pulling mp3s and link them to the main post so graphics can be done over time as more files are accepted.. I'll mark which ones already have gfx too
I'll have the newest submissions judged too in the next day or two
updated w/ reviews. 19 files now xd so i added a tab for graphics & mp3 locations. no rush on those since it seems like there's more traction for this than i expected
Entrance (Xel) - reject
well it's kind of a dump with the 12ths and random 24ths rolls to the loud buzz in the background.. tons of 12th ghost notes i believe all over that go to nothing after the 4th jumps. not sure if I like that too much. A lot of sections are idk the exact same and even though its short i can't say i really like it too much. for a "hard" file it's kind of bland. rejec
Calling it a dump kinda bugs me because compared to real dump files... It kinda doesn't fit. imho. There is a sound the 12ths go to though. It's kinda hard to hear and I used it to try to pad the difficulty up very slightly to keep it a little more consistent, and I am thinking now that was a mistake, because I admit they're hard to hear.
Your review was really helpful though, so thank you. I know what I wanna fix with it.
Hopefully the rest of the pack goes well. Might try to do something else, but we'll see.
@ xelnya: To be more specific about your file, what I disliked outside of the ghost notes were the patterns and 24th rolls. The 24ths would of been alright if it was more audible; the buzz could really be interpreted as rolls or just a freeze (personal bias but I would create two difficulties: one with the the rolls and another with freezes in place of the rolls). PR in the file was alright, but the layering and pattern use could of been better. The song is electronic, so you're going to have repetitive sounds all over the file (not that they're all like that). So it needs fun patterns along with PR on accenting patterns imo to make it much more fun as a scoring and MA file. I had to play it multiple times to figure out what about it I didn't enjoy.
In my judging I'm not really going into the editor because it'd be time consuming for me to get into measure-by-measure reviews. I mean if needed I can since I think the file could be p good for scoring
YAY Mario Paint got in!!
I'll try to squeeze in one last submission... I god I hope the pack won't get released before it's finished XD It's been a while since I've been this hyped about stepping.
