Any active places for charting disscusion?

I'm gonna ask another question, but this time about chart editors, what's the mere cause for the audio in DDReam to be influenced by external sources (such as Equalizers, etc) while Arrowvortex's audio remains the same regardless of the external sources are enabled or not?
Also, I can notice to hear 24th triplets in Puzzle now, maybe it's either because DDReam does a little something with the audio compared to Arrowvortex or I just listen to the song too much.

Yeah, I'm never gonna be a budget wv, wasting my time rehashing what others have already theorized in the past.

I still contend that anyone who thinks there's no room for originality just doesn't have enough imagination, even for 4k.

I don't fault anyone for thinking this, but I completely disagree.

I'd love very much to be wrong. I actually want to be wrong here very badly.

I don't think I am though, but I'm so out of the loop with literally every community of chart makers, mostly because I'm insufferable tbh completely my own fault, that I'd leave it open that likely something like that would miss my radar entirely regardless.

ignoring the fact that you are generally considered merely an alright charter (at best) by many in the community, you made a chart for freedom dive

But of course, that's nonsense and sounds more like a black and white fictional system made by a naive child than the more diverse and possibly intimidating reality.

Just responding to this and haven't really read anything else in thread for the most part but wanted to comment on this specifically.

If we reject your chart from FFR, it doesn't mean your chart is bad, just that it isn't a good Fit For FFR.

FFR Judges also aren't the ruling authority on stepcharting, nor is any single person or group. We aren't perfect.

I highly encourage anyone that gets a file rejected from FFR to either submit with fixes, or submit it elsewhere, like a Pack, or to Osu, or do literally anything to it other than have it gain dust and deleted in a desktop cleanup 5 years from now.

If no one else likes your files, release them yourself. That's quite literally how I began stepcharting.

well if you're going to send a chart that you made for ffr to a pack or osu please try to color it up by using holds

Part of the reason I made my charting guide was to try and capture the old-guard style, which tended to focus much more on musicality and creative depth, which I felt like was still vastly underexplored.

The meta today, the kinds of levels people like to play nowadays isn't very conducive to that style. People want to focus on scoring, and while not impossible to make dense, difficult patterns musical, it is significantly harder.

For many years now, I've been trying to push these kinds of games to being more accessible, and that has largely been rejected by the community, maybe not even necessarily in attitude, but at least out of discomfort or logistical reasons.

If you want to be convinced otherwise, my personal recommendation would be to play the ODI packs, Dark Chancellors, etc. (which I think there's a high likelihood you already have, but I don't know you personally), and put those level designs into context with the concepts in my guide (most notably "Groove", "Harmonization", "Counterpoint", and "Connotation") to notice that it is vastly underexplored in comparison to modern levels.

I ride the same wave stargroup does when it comes to stepping tbh

So a chunk of the charting meta got more superficial in charting theory?
