Re: Stepmania University: We'll make your files suck less (under construction)

A quick basic random question I have:
Let's say I'm layering multiple instruments at once, and multiple sounds fall on a particular note. That note, however, isn't 'strong' (I can't think up of a better term, sorry), and it feels wrong to place say, three notes, just because three instruments coincide there.
Is there a guideline, or a general rule of thumb to follow when "watering down" a stepfile? In this case, do I keep that note, or turn it into a double?

hmmm tomorrow @9 PM est (gotta work around u damn theists' easter dinners) i will give an analysis on hand usage on the IRC channel, that seems like a nice place to start

Re: Stepmania University: We'll make your files suck less (under construction)

strong is good enough; accented is a more precise term but it's not always correct for what you mean

but uh it depends; most of the time i tend to water it down to a double (though i often shoot myself thirty times to convince myself to do it). though normally if i'm following three sounds and they all coincide they're bound to louder, because otherwise i probably wouldn't be following all three in the first place (such as beat, some percussive sounds (like a snare or something), and a melody, which all three together often makes an at least somewhat loud sound). i generally take a homophonic approach to what i do



oh and also i am stepping a horrible korean r&b song and i will send it to kommi or someone

i am prepared to get a failing grade especially because it is my first file in well over half a year

Re: Stepmania University: We'll make your files suck less (under construction)

first assignment is this song, measures 1-20. Send them back to the instructors for a review, and as the lessons progress, you will all keep working on this simfile. We'll give you tips so that you may develop your own style. Every file will be different and this'll keep things interesting. We'll also suggest things you can add or change to improve your chart, as well as explain certain theories that can be used. Aite go nuts.

This looks like a pretty cool idea, I will join in as a student.

Re: Stepmania University: We'll make your files suck less (under construction)

WHEN YOU HAVE COMPLETED your 20 measures, upload the .SM FILE ONLY to a file hosting website of your choice and send it in a PM to gnr61, Patashu, and kommisar[os] with the subject title "Stepmania Assignment 1"

Re: Stepmania University: We'll make your files suck less (under construction)

Had to see this for myself. I really like this idea. I've been meaning to step something for a long time, but I keep procrastinating and like being a perfectionist, thus not like getting help from others. However, I'd like to see how this goes and join in on this. What the hell, right? All stepman players turn into some sort of stepping artist eventually.
