Sent something.

I can also help with judging if you need it.

Kraezymann · 02-7-2015, 01:48 PM

Cool beans man! I'll play these files when I get home in a bit

DDRNGGin · 02-7-2015, 04:36 PM

I have sent you a keyboard file for your pack.

Kraezymann · 02-7-2015, 05:05 PM

Okay so a couple things:

I just realized making the main chart set on Medium was kind of silly - so I'll change that to Hard.

Also I have added a reviews section to the OP, so check there for updates! (When I get to them haha)

I'd also like ideas on how to rate the difficulties. Everyone has a different idea, but I'm thinking of grabbing [blank space]'s NPS generator and using fudge factor. Any one else have an idea?

Glad you changed that rule around, having Medium be the main chart was just a weird idea. :P

Have you looked at Novice and Easy at all? If you feel anything needs to be changed with those two charts I'd be happy to hear it.

EDIT: Blanky's NPS generator + fudge factor is exactly what I used with New York's ratings. Personally I'd go with that.

As for the chart itself - Really nicely synced, and actually a lot more fun than I was anticipating! It's a bit simple for the pack, but that's not a huge deal. There are a couple things I think might fix it up a tiny bit though: At M6, you are missing 2 jumps (instead of just 2 right arrows); the same sounds are jumps in almost all of the other measures. And at least in the second half of the song, during the chorus(es), you could probably get away with adding a third jump at the beginning of each line after the "Bye"s (ie: the beginning of M19 and similar measures). And don't be afraid to spice it up a bit! Some of those big beat sounds during the song could use a jump, or you could put a mini freeze in some of those 16th runs where there is that hi-hat(I think?) sound. Once you fix up those bits then you should be good to go!

I have sent in the Challenge file with the changes you requested. This song has been a favorite of mine since I first listened to *Nsync.

By the way, the NPS Generator + Fudge factor rating combo might work; however, testing the method is required.

Kraezymann · 02-8-2015, 01:58 PM

Col man, got them both - will try out later today. Great to see a few files already and we are only 3 days in!

Kraezymann · 02-8-2015, 07:01 PM

Double post for 2 + 1 more reviews.

Also, just a heads up that I don't play much (if at all) during work days, since they are 12 hour shifts. But it's only 3 days a week, so the other 4 days I should be able to keep up with things!

DDRNGGin · 02-8-2015, 09:22 PM

I have sent you the revisions for both of my charts.
Regarding AM-3P's Challenge chart, can you give specific measures where I could add some 16ths in case I have to make a v3 for the chart. I would greatly appreciate it.

L.B.D.D · 02-11-2015, 09:51 AM

glad you're making this pack, i would like to apologize (because i never really got around to doing so) about the first pack

the idea was good but i was a very bad organizer. i have good hopes for this one since i know kraezymann is a very competent person and organizer. good luck, and i hope this one reaches a wider audience

Kraezymann · 02-11-2015, 10:15 AM

Aaaayyyy double D! You gonna submit anything?!

It's all good man, the pack was still a great idea. Shit happens! I was super happy just to be a part of the last one.

I'm really stoked to see where this one goes!

**blindreper1179** · 02-14-2015, 06:24 AM

What We're Made Of (blindreper1179) - Neato. played Hard and Expert, quite enjoyed Expert. I would probably end the song at about 2:02 though... maybe fade it out after "Don't let the fear in!"? It seems to drag on a bit after that. Also the fast part at M12 starts a 16th early. If you take out the bpm change of 61 and keep it 77.5 then the fast part at M12 will be on proper 4ths but you'll have to resync that whole bit lol. If you also want to add some 16ths into the open bits during that part to make it a bit more streamy, that would be cool too! Fix that sync and we should be okay

Yo, if I do that bpm adjustment, that throws the entire song off sync by that 16th. (snares are on 16ths after that now)

Also, I don't know measures I use ddream studio, using second markers would help a lot more.

(I just knew where you were talking about because I had a hard time with where to sync it to lol)

Kraezymann · 02-14-2015, 10:52 AM

The entire song or the rest of the song? By changing that 61 to 77.5, and then changing the 102BPM at 53.45s back to 77.5BPM, you still keep the sync for the rest of the song, and only that one part of the chart (between 37.96s and 53.45s) will have to be resync'd (which you can do in SM with copy/paste 1/16th down). Unless I'm blind and totally missing something haha

Also got porkypinks file. Is pretty good, mang.

Ok, I changed both bpms and everything is synced like you want it. but that section is still snaring on 16th's and just doesn't feel/look right. Are you sure you want it like that? I know that it can be all the same bpm, but with the two bpm changes in there, it just looks more uniform.

Let me know.

Kraezymann · 02-14-2015, 11:17 AM

Damn broski that was quick! Haha okay well how about I'll leave it up to you. It seems to ME that it looks and feels better with the changes, but if you would like to leave it I'd be happy to do so as well. Did you cut the song?

Also added porkypinks review

I guess we're stuck in a pickle of potato potato. lol

I'll keep the sync, but I'll meet ya in the middle and I'll cut the steps out at the end.

Kraezymann · 02-14-2015, 11:34 AM

Aight playa you got it. Clean 'er up, shorten it down and we'll call it good.

Also DDRNGGin I see you there, let's talk sometime today

**blindreper1179** · 02-14-2015, 11:43 AM

I just have a quick question about this
"If you also want to add some 16ths into the open bits during that part to make it a bit more streamy, that would be cool too!"

I'm not sure what to add to it. I stepped the guitar mostly, I included the drums where the guitar wasn't so it didn't get overstepped.

Thoughts? Thanks. After this, I'll be good to go!

Alright. I'll see what I can do.

Kraezymann · 02-14-2015, 11:58 AM

Reper - I was just thinking in places like 39.321s, 45.519s, 47.068s, etc (anywhere where there is a bit of space) but after thinking about it it doesn't really NEED to be filled in, I just thought it might keep the flow a bit better. Give it a go, tell me what you think. And send me a new copy when you have it all done!

DDRNGGin - it's not a big deal if you can't do it today either, I can even show you via PM if you like.
