Re: A List of ALL the Songs in the FFR Queue

I have had a number of questions that I'd like to ask either Synth, Tass, or Shash. Just general questions... like an interview on their involvement in FFR or that.

Any of the three of you interested? It's just for curiosity, not a paper or anything.

Re: A List of ALL the Songs in the FFR Queue

Can't you just post here and ask the questions, or PM one of them if you want privacy?

Re: A List of ALL the Songs in the FFR Queue

and Goldenwind... feel free to IM me about that stuff. or PM.

Re: A List of ALL the Songs in the FFR Queue

Where's my Broken Palace?

And hurry up and do the two weeks after, my sig is getting full down there.

[dore]

Re: A List of ALL the Songs in the FFR Queue

You guys always disagree about my stuff ;p

[Valtrix]

Re: A List of ALL the Songs in the FFR Queue

The moral of the story is that a suck at faster songs still =P

EDIT: And, I need to find more intense songs because you guys always think I overstep >>

[Tasselfoot]

Re: A List of ALL the Songs in the FFR Queue

if Broken Palace is in the "Great Big Rednanaki Package" that you sent me 3 times... i still haven't opened any of those e-mails. they're right at the bottom, from the 16th.


Also, I forgot to add.... Guys... if you are submitting multiple files, and are seeing a pattern that your files are consistently in Needs Minor Tweaking or Needs Work... perhaps you should be sending off your files for testing to others before submitting them to Shash and myself. There are 3 or 4 individuals who I feel have submitted around 10 files, none of which have been queueworthy, even after 2 or 3 submissions... this really should tell you that you need assistance from others to get better.

Doing this will help you improve faster, which will get your files into the game faster. It'll also help Shash and I to get through the batches faster, which means faster updates. The less times we have to play each file (some files have been submitted 5+ times already and are still not in the queue), the less files we have to play overall.

So try and reach out to Rebirth, hi19, dore, Silver_Brian, Exag0n, jimerax, etc etc etc... there are a decent number of quality simfile makers, people who get a good 75% of their files accepted on the 1st try. Learn from them. And be grateful. They don't have to help you... and if they do, they're doing you a favor. Remember that.

Is guilty. Maybe I'll try to ask others first =P

EDIT: Speaking of files, for Nosebleed you said, "Does this song have stream?" I don't understand what you're asking because it should >_>

[dore]

Re: A List of ALL the Songs in the FFR Queue

Fixed my Needs Minor Tweaking ones, I'll hold off sending them until you guys discuss my others.

I also changed the BPM on Song For All Time, it was .03 (.06 in the doubled sections) off which I didn't realize until just now when I was greatstreaming the ending jacks when playing to the music. A little simple math later and now the sync is much better. Moral of the story: wierd BPMs on long songs suck because being .03 off can really effect syncage.

[brothaice]

Re: A List of ALL the Songs in the FFR Queue

Zen 2k5 by brothaice - bpm

Bpm? does that mean that my song is offsync? Because i know the end is a little off, because there is a slow down, but i dont know hot to figure out the bpm change. But other than the end, every thing else should be right.

Re: A List of ALL the Songs in the FFR Queue

When did I submit my five files? I forget.

[SulferDragon]

Re: A List of ALL the Songs in the FFR Queue

Maxx Resurrexxion by SulferDragon - jacks, 24th trill, trills in general
{Colossus} by SulferDragon - bpm, jacks, trill before jacks

In other words, thrills are a no-no now

Uh, what's a thrill? (I'm damn serious)

Re: A List of ALL the Songs in the FFR Queue

ok... comments on the discussion files:


Frozen Bond - Shash made a typo... file is in queue
Cold Breath - we're both going to replay the 2 files and re-discuss
Elements of a Party - Shash is going to replay with my comments in mind
Melonman's OP - Shash is going to replay with my comments in mind
Piano Etude - in queue
Run to the Hills - we're both going to replay, cause neither of us remember the file
Maxx Attaxx - Shash is going to replay
Neon-213 - Shash is going to replay with my comments in mind
KilStage - need to resend the mp3 to Shash, his is corrupted for some reason, then he can play it and comment

Sail Away.... I thought it'd be easier to just C&P our conversation on the subject.
[23:12] Shashakiro: and the sail aways. whooo boy.
[23:13] TasselFoot: yup.
[23:13] Shashakiro: ilu's and brothaice's are both out
[23:13] TasselFoot: my rankings: blazze/jx, hi19, rebirth, macgravel. the other 3 i didn't +, and i threw them out of discussion.
[23:13] Shashakiro: uh
[23:13] Shashakiro: I didn't mind flip's oni
[23:13] Shashakiro: which is all I played
[23:13] TasselFoot: i'd have ranked flip's 5th, like you did... so i commented on it and put it elsewhere.
[23:14] Shashakiro: k
[23:14] TasselFoot: we both have hi19's as 2nd.
[23:14] Shashakiro: I think Rebirth's is too streamy
[23:14] Shashakiro: was my biggest complaint with that
[23:14] TasselFoot: i felt rebirth's WOULD have been 1st... it had the best patterns... if he had broken his 2nd stream in the middle down into bursts.
[23:14] Shashakiro: yeah
[23:14] TasselFoot: i already told him this. and i assume he'll fix it.
[23:14] TasselFoot: and then his will be the best.
[23:14] TasselFoot: which will make all of this moot, alas.
[23:15] Shashakiro: I think jx+blazze's had a few 16ths in funny places
[23:15] Shashakiro: wouldn't put that high up there
[23:15] TasselFoot: i had no comments on jx's or hi19s.
[23:15] Shashakiro: I'm going from memory
[23:15] TasselFoot: macgravels... i didn't like the fact that the whole file was trills
[23:15] Shashakiro: I do remember these
[23:15] Shashakiro: personally I liked the trills
[23:16] Shashakiro: I dunno, I wouldn't mind hi's going in at all
[23:16] TasselFoot: i think the fact that we both had generally no complaint on hi19s, and had his ranked 2nd for both... is good enough to make his the current queue file.
[23:16] Shashakiro: was really close between them
[23:16] Shashakiro: yeah sure
[23:16] TasselFoot: right. me too. was very close between hi19 and jx's for me.
[23:16] TasselFoot: between 1/2
[23:16] Shashakiro: yeah
[23:16] Shashakiro: we'll use hi's then
So hi19hi19's file of Sail Away is the one that makes the cut!













EDIT: Brothaice... the bpm is wrong
SulferDragon... see the FFR Picture Dictionary for any and all issues on terminology. It's located as a sticky in either FFR General Talk or Newbie Forum (i forget which).
