I generally spend 1 hour per minute of music for a normal file, then revisions. Obviously for less complex stepping styles and less complex songs I'll go less but that's a good ballpark.

Thanks. as for making files, I spend like 15 minutes, then get bored and quit, then come back and step for another 15 minutes and get bored, or something like that.

rate 2.0x and ctrl+r

on a serious note, if we ever built a robot to step files he'd do it like that just to make everyone go :O

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

depending on the length of the song and the complexity of the beats, the time should vary greatly, as in stepping Blue Rose should (in my mind) take 5x as long as a normal hard stepfile (ex. Lunar Saturation)

So for me, it varies depending on that, and the amount of time refining it is determined by how abnormal the beat patterns are, if there are parts that should have a 64th with random spacing (songs like Blue Rose, Improv et Chien, and TGWP), it will take me a lot of refining to find out exactly where it should be placed, if it's a 64th or 48th (when by themselves and not in rolls/stream it's hard for me to tell), it takes more time

dancing monkeys doesn't go any deeper than 8ths I thought

what I was thinking of was something that set bpm gap etc. then put notes or doubles to areas in the song of local intensity. for anything better then that like keysounding, pitch relevancy and layering tho you'd have to figure out how to pick out different instruments from a song and follow them separately

ya about an hour per minute of song sounds just about right for me, obviously depending on the complexity of the song and how hard i want the file to be (for hard files i'll step rhythms and layers on .5x then go back on 1.0x and adjust everything a bunch for playability/fluency)

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

The hell? I sent my file in on Friday, "Science Party", and it's not there!

This. I'd like to at least know if it was received or if I have to send it again.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

the 24th or the 17th? either way, i didn't get it. where'd you send it to?

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

obviously different files take different amounts of time to make. simpler, constant-bpm files may take an hour or so, but more difficult songs may take a few hours for syncing alone. then if you're layering rhythm stuff or some countermelody or some vague sh*t in the music it might take you another few hours to just step the file

not for ffr. I'm done with ffr

I used to step on .5x then adjust on 1.0x
now I step on 1.0x and adjust on .5x
that might make it go faster
