I actually have a **** load of ideas how to make it possibly better if you wanna try again. Seems like the judges dont want another 0 though...

Choofers · 11-16-2009, 05:50 PM

I PMed what I have so far to kommi. But it seems like he isn't saying anything about it. Wanna test it?

**Ntc2415** · 11-17-2009, 04:02 AM

I submitted... I don't really expect to make it in the pack... just looking for constructive criticism on what i could improve on... song is

**kommisar** · 11-17-2009, 09:10 AM

i played it. ressembles linus' and some parts don't make much sense

moches · 11-17-2009, 09:13 AM

Why has Linus made all these files I've never heard of -.-

have you tried Landscape yet? impatient hehe

**kommisar** · 11-17-2009, 09:20 AM

i tried nippon

N.T.M. · 11-18-2009, 04:45 AM

Finally submitted my file. Uh, here's some important info on it.

A few technical aspects I'd like to address:

M23 - Initially the colored jumps preceding the 8ths were more prominent, but they soon crossed over as the 8ths segued into predominance. In fact it's actually a simplified pattern because the colored notes don't quite align at the point of the 8th's culmination.

M32B3 - Unfortunately this trill alone wasn't sufficient once the other sounds were introduced. However, since the 8ths don't occur every other note like a standard runningmen configuration, placing them as single steps would mar fluency since they'd be misconstrued with sections of the trill. Jumps were the best option by default.

M36B3 - While Jordan was playing this segment he did so by running his thumb from the far left bass notes to around (perhaps a bit before) middle C which is exactly 24 notes. Now considering this, its unintelligibility, plus the assist tick, and producing a concise number for the sake of pattern configuration, exactly 20 notes seemed best.

M37 - Most bass notes were omitted here because they detracted from the notes I wanted to emphasize.

M65 - Sadly this jump stream presented a sort of stepping impasse for me. The bass and treble clef aligned terribly with the bass preceding the treble by a notable margin. Since I didn't like the prospect of a dump pattern (I tried it actually) the only solution was to place whatever sound was more prominent/crisp. Obviously this was the treble clef (another best-by-default situation).

M72 - I didn't layer the two potential jumps because one followed the last single note which I wanted to accentuate and adding a subsequent jump would have marred the effect.

Took me long enough

**Patashu** · 11-18-2009, 04:51 AM

so do you provide a technical reference with every file you make ntm

**jimerax** · 11-18-2009, 04:57 AM

so how long did it take in total?

from those words kinda curious about how it actually is haha

The songs that he picks to step should answer that question.

Well if a section's accuracy may seem questionable to a player I wanna explain how it's necessary.

It's a very... well.. "unique" file. I hope the guys like it.

An embarrassingly-long 15 hours or so.

. I'm not too happy about that. I'm too much of a perfectionist. I'm into details that 99% of people aren't gonna notice.

**Patashu** · 11-18-2009, 05:10 AM

play on rate 0.2x to experience the full richness of the stepchart

**Ntc2415** · 11-20-2009, 04:49 AM

I love how im like disregarded on this thread...lol =(

**Bynary Fission** · 11-20-2009, 05:30 AM

Submitted a major project for this. I think it may be a personal record in terms of length in creation - more than 30 hours went into it. I have a feeling it will be one of those files where I have to explain every detail to the judges...

**kommisar** · 11-20-2009, 07:28 AM

how can you spend that many hours on a simfile

**Bynary Fission** · 11-20-2009, 08:21 AM

Because that's what it took to sync it correctly. It's a great song with amazing stepping potential, and I do not have an issue spending excessive amounts of time to step it properly. Besides, it's not anything new to me - every sim I've made since Summer has taken, on average, 20-25 hours to make (with the exception of a techno song - that was more like 6 or so.)

operationstrawbarry · 11-20-2009, 06:18 PM

Pshhhh.... I spend more than 10-30 hours miniumun on files from now on.
