Oh ok, that resolves my question. If that's the case, I'll case Spread and then degrade it to Index. By 'degrade', I mean make remove layers for less technicality.

P.S. Are running men and streams at 185bpm difficult Index patterns?

[SulferDragon]

Not at all. In fact, running men are generally easier for indexers.

EDIT: It more depends on the patterns than the BPM.

[Ghakimx]

What about 16th jump patterns that go like this?

1010
0101
1010

or

1100
0011
1100

and

1100
1010
0110

Almost complete with the index version of one of my files.

[SulferDragon]

I'd have to say the last one because it requires you to switch keys the fewest amount of times, but unless the music actually warrants jacks I wouldn't go with it. If it doesn't, I would probably use this pattern instead:

1001
0110
1001

It's been awhile, but when I played index, I think that was the easiest one to do. If the BPM is on the slow side it probably doesn't matter either way.

btw, if you have any more questions about patterns, just post them on my profile.

Just submitted The Air That I Breathe.

It's been a WIP of mine since forever. It took a good 2 hours to fix it up, but it's finally done! I wasn't sure if I'd ever finish it.

One WIP I'll never finish though is that Metallica song (The Day That Never Comes). If anybody wants to take over be my guest. I just don't feel like doing it. Take full credit, I don't care.

[Dr Tran]

so i just found an awesome band that would make bitchin files so expect some metalforce from me

[Ghakimx]

I'm having technical difficulties. I tried attaching the file onto an email but it keeps giving me errors and not uploading. May I upload it on another site and then send it as a download link?

[Dr Tran]

sounds reasonable

[Ghakimx]

K sent.

[Ghakimx]

Just wondering.
Was the file received?

Checking all files today.

I got it now. I'll probably judge the three (LOL) files that have been sent in the last month today.

I know you're sending more files in the future. Try to label them with parentheses, not square brackets. For the sake of consistency.

Finally the day has come when the great GLoVE has let me down. I've always revered his work, but further looking into his Universal Mind file made me sad.

Now it's still good enough to be included, but it's not nearly as good as I initially thought.

Examples:

Measures 49, 67, and 99 sync sucks. A lotta little things here and there.

Sulfer if you feel like fixing any of those places go ahead. I still like the file though.

[SulferDragon]

Wait, you're giving me permission to fix errors in one of GLoVE's files.

Can you do that?

Not that I didn't change a few blatant errors in other people's files without their permission in the first pack.

I'm assuming so. I mean if you use 24ths in place of 16ths I think it should be changed. The first and last measures I mentioned are the worst. For the first I'd just use colored notes so you don't have to mettle with BPM changes. Just on those drum hits that're way off.

And that last measure (piano) was totally off.

*edit* I'm just assuming that he'd accede to it.

Oh, my bad, I thought I could use either (or in my case, both).

If submissions are still open for a bit, I'm hopefully going to work on a Bury Your Dead track this weekend.

[SulferDragon]

Submissions will still be open for a bit.

Boy, I sure have a lot of stuff to review.

The Air That I Breathe - Accepted - It's definitely good enough to warrant accepting, but I would expect better from you.

Goddess Bound - Accepted with tweaks - Cool instrumental song. Measures 125-126 are retarded. Also, why is that stream of jumps easier on Edit than on both Heavy and Challenge? Put the retarded patterns on Edit, the slightly retarded but not as much patterns on Challenge (or change it all together), and something simpler on Heavy. Remove the out of place, random hand(s) in Challenge or put hands throughout the whole chart. The biggest problem is the sync. It needs some help.

Into the Oblivion - Accepted - Sure, why not.

Native File - Accepted with tweaks - Measures 26, 44, 53, 67, 116: Missed sounds. Measures 49, 113: Minifreezes? measure 101: Where are the jumps? (You probably did this other places too) 118-124: Shouldn't the jumps be on the 8th? 125, 126: improper, awkward patterns. Pitch Relevancy could definitely use some improvement.

Overall, I thought all of these files were fun. That's why I didn't label any of them as "Needs work."

Very mediocre song choice.

That's why I almost never finished it. It's like my Metallica file, except slightly better song choice. It's for that reason that I'll never finish that file.

I don't have any more WIPS though, so don't expect any more files like this. If you remember a while ago all my song choices were kinda sub par.

*edit* I like Goddess Bound. I'll go into more detail later, but off the top of my head the sync's a bit off here and there and it has very weak PR. Conceptually solid though. Pretty sure it's accepted. I know for this pack I need to be a little lax regarding certain aspects (namely PR).
