First file
Hey guys , as u can guess by reading the title of this thread i finally created my first stepchart...
now many of u guys are ppbbly like :" omfg jesus another offsync- false stepped piece of crap", buut, i rly put a lot of effort into the steps / syncing / offset and stuff, i needed about 12 - 13 hours to create the steps, and i used 3 programs called DDream/ MixMeister and Stepmania. I know its ppbbly far from perfect, and i may did a lot of wrong stuff here and there, but anyways: "I rly want to get a file into FFR someday, maybe not this one, and maybe not in the next few months.., and maybe never, but i rly want to try and to learn in creating epic charts. So if there are any FFR pros out there , that are great in chart sim-creation please lend me your hand, and help me to improve. =) PS: if u want that file in order to help me, send me a PN, or inform me here.^^ Greeze: Dark

Re: First file
Here's my mini-review:
The offset should've been .227, even though its not that big of a difference, it affected the sync so I fixed that. Feels like an old-school Sharpnel file so I give you props for that. My biggest issue is with the vocal parts from 83.868-96.937, where you could've used a little bit of variation to it like using color-note theory or if you were to go towards an SM file maybe mine theory could've worked there. But since you're aiming it towards FFR, maybe color note would work on the vocals (but you used an SM editor, which it could be hard to detect where the vocals are exactly) The mini-rolls that you used should have used a little bit of variation . Instead of 1234 1234 1234 4321 4321 4321; you could have it set up like this: 1234 1324 1423 4231 4132 4321. But that's not a biggie. And I would have to ask MN about the one in 97.60, I don't see any 24ths on that section at all. The jacks bring minor difficulty spikes but it feels right for the file. But overall, it brings me back to 2006, which would be a perfect file for the nostalgia pack that just came out. As your first file, fantastic job on it. +. 79.4% Just improve on some of the stuff that MN pointed out in his more detailed section and on my mini-review. But the BPM is correct and yes, get DDReam studio, it helps you out with the offset and stepping the most complex sections of the file. But, Great job for using an SM editor Also MN, the pic that's in this post is in regard to what you said : |

Re: First file
lol... really?
funny how i make a THE OTHERS file and someone else just makes one right after cool to see the differences. the patterns are too repetitive, and because it can't be helped (the song itself is very repetitive), you should create some fun patterns (that are diverse) or just cut the song. that's the exact review i got from many others (the others, haha get it?) and yeah.. but your file is 2747 notes, and mine is 5040 notes long so.. that makes quite a difference LOL also, i recommend changing your BPM to 183.610 |

Re: First file
@Midi:
What I pointed out at 97.60 was not a mistake, here's a pic to show what I received as a file: Because I sent my review yesterday to Darkbreezee, I believe he already made slight changes related to my review, thus giving you an updated file over the one I received. |

Re: First file
okay ... now im kinda confused, is the offset fine if i switch the BPM to 183.61? .., i kinda doubt that, but i might give it a try, but :
Quote:
i knew it was kinda offsync in the beginning or during the ending, cuz i wasnt able to nail the exact bpm or needed offset. i will try to set the offset to 0.227 , hope this will work well.. Quote:
and yes i was struggling with myself whether i should use jacks there, but i felt like they have to be there ^^ and yes, u guys already got the slightly reworked version, guess if u would have seen the first one u'd gave me a 3/5 as well =) ps: Nintendo: I finally "heared" the missing notes u have been mentioning .., although i have to say that i needed a lot of tries to recognize them O.o and ye i got DDReam now as well, am i able to open a sm file with ddream? would be cool, because i guess its easier to step files with DDReam. BIG EPIC EDIT: THANKS A 27987913 Times XxMidigamixX , i finally got the rite offset ... <3 could u show me where u had to place the first beat ? ( by showing the ddream waves..) that would be amazing i rly want to learn how to work with this program

Re: First file
ddream takes some getting used to but most people swear by it. I only use it for syncing purposes and use SM to actually chart because I personally find SM easier to navigate. But it's all preference really. But yes you can open your sm file in ddream.

Re: First file
Well...there's always guides to help you out with using DDReam (for example: Patashu's, Roar's, Ducky's, and probably a few that have made "Stepcharting for Dummies") I'll hunt the links down and post it when I have the chance.

Re: First file
You can always click on my sig to find Patashu's guide. This is the place I told you to go in order to download DDReam. The video up there is very useful and other cool functions are listed as well in the first post.

Re: First file
yeah, use DDReam to get your syncing on point
183.61 should make the song exactly on beat in DDReam |

Re: First file
Looking at it in DDream, the most stable sync seems to be at 183.601 BPM, with an offset of -0.228 (looked at with wave filter + zoom 7).
The bass drum in this song makes it fairly easy to find using a wave filter because there's a giant spike in the waveform right at the tip. It never seems to hold on any specific number, but .601 seems to keep it steady for the longest time. There might be a ridiculously fine change somewhere in the song. |
