The average acceptance rate is around 30-35%, and that includes the 75%+ of the top guys. The acceptance rate of the non-top guys has to be closer to 10-15%.

There is a distinct difference in consistent quality between those who we know can make quality files and those who we don't know. Over time, the more files you make and the more blu and jx can help you to improve (plus others, of course)... the better you'll get and the higher your acceptance rate will be.

I'm actually starting to see this myself. My first set of submissions got all rejects, then my second set got a queue, and this one got approved by Blu; all I did was keep in mind the things that the judges didn't like. Meh--it helps a lot when you have people to tell you exactly what's wrong.

xander: easier files will get in more readily because they are less complex. there are fewer things you can screw up on.

[bluguerrilla]

Also, I've said this before but once jx is done and Tass posts the notes, I'll gladly go over stuff with your file if you disagree with anything I said or you want me to elaborate.

AIM is the best way to corner me, not PMs.

FFR can have stops?

I'm pretty sure it can - since FFR technically runs on a C-mod, stops are treated in a similar fashion to BPM changes in that you will never notice them - it'll just space the arrows further apart.

However, looking through batch notes, the judges seem to frown upon using stops for syncing something that drifts offbeat.

You can use stops you just won't see them. They're useful for if a song has a pause and comes in on a random beat and you can just turn an area into a stop to bring it back to red notes.

[Tasselfoot]

but using stops throughout your file as a means to attempt to sync it is not good... likely means your bpm(s) are wrong in the first place.

Okay haven't been here since ~Oct 20th.
What's the deal with:
1) Is the queue open, if so for how long?
2) If not, when does it open again?

Thanks,

oh cool i have another accepted file. I sent in nebula for the next batch

[jimerax]

done.

did pretty inconsistent on rating of borderline file, maybe.
good files were obvious though

[TC_Halogen]

Sweet. All that's left is for Tass to play them now. =)

[NSane]

is blu's list like a page or 2 ago the only files that made it? I was pretty sure my file was well stepped.

EDIT: nvm this post, you may delete if needed. I found out.

I'll be back in a month. >.>

[dore]

lol he'll get 'em in in the next few days

[stavie33]

so, do batch notes come out now or after Tass plays them? And JX, did you get to play my drum solo file? I went over it again, and I can't find anything wrong with the steps except maybe not FMO difficulty, in which case I'd have to get rid of the hands, but other than that I can't find anything, I followed the sheet music exactly and used pitch relevancy, hmm...maybe I'm just not experienced enough to know what I did wrong yet

[dore]

they come out after Tass plays them
yes jx played it
stop asking, you'll hear about it when the notes come out

[HighAndr0id]

grats on getting through the batch guys that musta been rough :P

[Tasselfoot]

i'll work on compiling my list of songs to play tonight (usually takes about an hour, all told. between printing out blu and jx's notes, then going through each and comparing them, then noting which files to play with different colored highlighters based upon who +d or didn't).

then tomorrow i'll get down to playing... will try and have it all done by the end of the weekend.

[TC_Halogen]

Awesome. =D

Answers will be given soon...
