Official Tournament 13 Batch Notes

Re: Official Tournament 13 Batch Notes

Man, I feel with that last post it's starting to become nitpicky from one side and straight up hostile from the other. Aren't we adults that are all here for the same reason, to get awesome files and music into the game?

People are going to be sensitive about their work sometimes, cool off and solve it in a private conversation or something.

No, I'm here for the purpose of facilitating the tournament if you want to get technical about it. This runs deeper than just this specific thing, but I'm not bringing that all out here into it. And not to be rude but honestly, this post doesn't really do much good for the situation either. It just needs to be let go now.

2 left and they're both Halogen's files. All that's left are the CQ fixes. And easy batch is suppose for the lower difficulties.

Easy batch was just a general easy batch that we'll pull from if needed but I think we're actually okay. Not sure 100% yet but I have some lower stuff already in place.

Re: Official Tournament 13 Batch Notes

Those have not been updated yet. I'm going by the OP which has an updated list.

ok so AJ just has to judge 2 more files which he stepped himself? i guess he'll rate them 10/10? xD

Re: Official Tournament 13 Batch Notes

I do not judge my own files, obviously.

Marianas Trench (Pizza69) [7.5*/10]
Artist: August Burns Red -- Perms: OK

- opening 8th note PR is respectable; can be improved slightly but it definitely works as is
- patterning really shines with the 16th streaming; dual-layer PR is not easy with only 4-keys but you do it about as well as you really can with the space you have
- 31.927 to 51.647: patterning seems to become a bit unclear at times; sometimes the drums come in and provide some fitting trills
- 56.718: feel like [DR] would be a bit better here to prevent the repeated [U], unless it’s a contouring thing for the PR (you don’t do it at 1:04.957, though)
- 1:25.247: having a jump for the tom feels a bit off as an accent, given that 1:25.568 is noticeable as well -- either remove here or add the jump at 1:25.568 for a clearer accent
- 1:28.626: missing jump? all guitar chugging seems to be repeated jumps until the triples come in at 1:32.376
- 2:01.032: missing note for kick
- 2:10.974/etc: personal opinion, but I feel like making the power chords triples might make them stand out and give the guitar more of a punch (2:10.974, 2:11.974, 2:13.974, etc)
- 2:29.287: missing note for snare
- 2:44.351: not a fan of this, given that the guitar was introduced with single notes -- the kick appears to be used as a layering structure, considering there’s four repeated notes at 2:45.394 that don’t go for the guitar (the last note of the four repeating should be something different if so)
- 2:54.472: missing note for snare
* 2:54.537: this BPM change to shift to a red note does not need to happen and it pushes the chart’s sync to a yellow note until you reset the BPM with some changes at 3:19.711 -- that cymbal crash is on an off beat; additionally, the cut BPM feels very strange as a whole because the percussion paces very similarly to how it did in earlier sections -- the change in overall presentation shouldn’t have happened until the BPM switch at 3:21.690, in my opinion
- 3:17.885: 24ths are a misrhythm - should be a 32nd after the 8th here, and then a gap, and then the next 32nd at 3:18.081
- 3:18.994/3:19.125: missing notes for drums
- 3:47.074: missing jump?
- 3:35.536/etc: are these being omitted in favor of the snare a 16th before? you accent other cymbals, but consistently ignore these
- 3:53.767/4:01.151: four note jack here, but nowhere else?
- structure gets a little dicey at the end, but the chart’s fairly coherent overall and has some nice PR control in the opening
- CQ on the offset fix

Sent in fixes:
- improved PR in opening 8ths
31.927 to 51.647: sharpened the patterning up here to follow the drums a bit less ambiguously
56.718: done
1:25.568: added jump
1:28.626: i'd initially left this out because it's noticeably more subdued than the other instances, but upon second look i think it's better & more consistent with this as a jump; fixed
2:01.032: done
2:10.974/etc: ooh i like this, thanks for the suggestion!
2:29.287: done, and reworked the patterns around this area (8th jumptrill is now split, lead-in is a little different)
2:44.351: moved the last note of the four repeating off 1
2:54.472: I don't hear this at full speed; left this out
2:54.537: Fixed
3:17.885: fixed
3:18.994/3:19.125: no clue how i missed these; fixed
3:47.074: yup. added this in

Extra changes:
3:01.162: made some rhythms a little more accurate here and in a couple other places close by
3:51.558: turned this into a jumpjack

Not gonna lie, now that I look at this again I kind of wish I'd redone the whole ending before sending it in. But whatever, I'm happy with the rest of the file. Thanks for the notes!

Re: Official Tournament 13 Batch Notes

Updated Benson & Hedges (Venetian Snares Remix). IDK how to multi-quote, so here's some dumb formatting of the concerns I had with some of the notes below. Any unmentioned notes are those that I've addressed in this 2nd draft. Number (1-7) is AJ's notes, XXX is my thoughts.

Benson & Hedges (Venetian Snares Remix) (ositzxz369) [7.5/10]
Artist: Shitmat -- Perms: OK

(1.) - 12.960: the three repeating 8th notes are a recurring theme (12.960, 14.355, 15.751, 18.541, ), but it’s really hard to understand why the third repeat is there in most instances, as only the first two notes are really audible over the percussion. Additionally, your PR can be improved if you’re going to actually represent those pitches as a part of your structure.

XXX - Made an attempt to address 12.960, 14.355, 15.751, 18.541 (and also the unmentioned 31.098, 32.493, 33.889, 35.284, 54.819, 56.214, 57.609, 1:00.401, 2:00.401, 2:04.413, (After this, I lost count of the other spots that had this issue – but I did address them). Hopefully I assumed correctly on what u meant by saying the “third repeat”.

(2.) - 36.941: I hear what this is following, but it’s definitely tough to hear at 100% rate; might be worth reducing/removing.

XXX - Do u mean this one arrow OR the 32nds between 36.854-37.203? I’m currently assuming the former.

(3.) - 1:00.576/1:01.186: another opportunity for strong instrument relevance - if you change the [D]-[R] mini-trill to an [U]-[R], then the pattern at 1:01.186 is a continuation because they both use the same instruments (and are tied to the same arrows)

XXX - So 1:00.576 and 1:01.186 aren’t EXACTLY the same noise, but I’ll still do ur suggestion.

(4.) - 1:05.895: ghost note

XXX - Nope, this one note is part of the subtle flute background.

(5.) - 1:13.134/1:13.221/1:13.308: these three notes correspond to snares, and those same snares play at 1:13.831 -- these are opportunities to really tighten up your chart structure and maximize the flow against the music

XXX - Not sure wat ur suggesting I do here. I’m assuming I was being inconsistent on the patterning of these two snare triplets, so I’ll attempt to fix that.

(6.) - 2:14.180/2:18.366: missing jump for kick (you do them at 2:12.785 and 2:12.959)

XXX - I was aware that 2:14.180 (and also 2:18.366) was supposed to be a jump, but I white-noted it b/c I didn’t want to make a 16th mini-jack off a mini-jumpglut (e.g. [12][14], where the [14] is a different sound from the preceding [34][12][34][12]). For 2:18.366, the same white-note logic was applied here, but now I relistened to this section again and just noticed there was 3 pitch changes instead of 2 (basically one more jumptrill transition), so please rejudge this small section if time permits.

(7.) - 2:33.715: since you’re working with a drum solo and not any sort of melody, you can afford to mix up the patterns a bit while still keeping the relevance - a simple mirror for the repeating drum patterns will make this feel a lot less dull

XXX - Gonna need an example of a "mix-up'd pattern" for this one. If “a simple mirror” means stepping a descending sound as an ascending pattern, I’m not comfortable with that.
