Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

so you prefer completely random patterns over PR patterns?

wut

No, if there are rolls, there are rolls, if there are trills, there are trills.
Runnys are runnys, I do that but I do not have the file generally PR. It could occur that deep sounds are on the right and high sounds on the left so yeah there is a certain factor of randomness, I usually tend choose patterns that are fun, not PR. Like I said, I know what it takes to get accepted but I won't compromise to the judges wanting and that is why I won't have files accepted

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

It's important to know when pitch relevancy will really benefit your files. For easier files, I can't really stress how important it is. Do Not Sex to This is a freaking awesome newbie file because of the pitch relevancy. If it had been random notes, it wouldn't have been nearly as meaningful pressing those ridiculously easy notes.

However, in a 190 BPM 16th stream, pitch relevancy can lead to a really, really awkward file and end up being a complete failure.

well, yes

Generally any kind of strong melody or anything with a lot of pitch variance will work well when stepped with PR, whereas something like a constant drum beat or synth is terrible if you PR it. Those things are what index stream and the like are for. But it's not determined by the speed, since a guitar solo with 200 BPM 16ths can be stepped very well with PR...just depends on the pitch variance.

However, blanketly refusing to use PR at all ever is a great way to never get any file you make to a song that has a strong melody accepted, sorry. And "fun" patterns are a dime a dozen and unless they go to the music in some nice way it's another way of saying "generic" patterns in my experience. There is only so much you can do with four arrows *cue Stargroup rant about solo*, and your patterns by themselves have been done before hundreds of times, but stepping them in a way that matches your particular song has likely not. This is why in the previous batch the judges all basically required PR fixes to many files, and I won't be any different in that sense.

not really 190 bpm 16th stream that PR can sometimes find its way to amazing cool if you know what your doing

GLoVE's simfiles have insanely fast solo's that are PR. Sometimes they're weird patterns, but 90% of the time its really fun.

Lol I used 16th streams at 180 BPM. I should stick with hi19hi19's idea and go with 32nd rolls.

Uhh, guys...

So, yeah, I realize that it also can turn out well. I never said it's a 100% failure. It just has to be the right song... some songs just don't work because of the meoldy.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

My submitted file is very pitch relevant, and definite thanks to Yukari for educating me on pitch relevancy.

It's piano, so you kind of have to do it regardless, and the PR makes you feel like you're playing the piano which is a cool feeling. I hope it gets in. =D

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

I'm stepping my song "Deep Blue Skies" which is good song to make it PR. So I'm gonna spend some time on that one for the next batch.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

You guys are going to have to excuse my inexperience here, but if I neglected to have the first 2 seconds of my file clean, will it be rejected, or will a judge remove the notes?

Probably auto-reject. It's not the judges responsibility to clean up your messes. This happened with Izzy recently when he did not take out the holds.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

Well, I've noticed quite a few files in FFR that don't have the 2 second grace period.

I was just wondering how that would work, and it's not like removing the 6 notes in the beginning is terribly difficult...I really hope that's not an auto-reject.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

I thought the first 2 seconds would be automatically cut off by the FFR converter when it becomes a .swf, so you didn't have to worry about that to an extreme degree.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

blu will the two-second silence in for those who forget to add it and get files accepted.

it's not like holds/mines where you're using a mechanic that's just obviously not part of the game, and it's easy to forget it, so it's all right. please do try to remember it though.

[foilman8805]

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

And just to clarify, this is just two seconds that doesn't have notes, not necessarily two seconds of no music, right? The former isn't a problem, but I have no idea how to do the latter.
