I wish we never adopted Farenheit. It would make it much easier to communicate (like now) and we wouldn’t have to waste our time learning about the metric system and the conversions in school.
Alright. This is my last “off topic” post in Roast’s thread for now.
how do you make smooth transitions beetween parts on notessimo? im kind of new and i always find a gap between sections of my song
Well first of all welcome!
Second of all, this is kinda in the wrong topic, but we’ll forgive you. The right one is here.
Well a common mistake made is some people position their notes a tiny bit off.Take this song, for example. If you scroll down you’ll see what the song is supposed to be. Doing it this way will avoid you having to make a little gap in between each sheet.
If you have done this correct, sometimes there are bugs that cause a few extra blank sheets here or there. Nothing really can be done to fix that.
Also make sure your notes aren’t too long (once they go over the edge of a sheet a new blank measure will appear).
If I still haven’t helped you feel free to post a song so I can find the gaps you’re talking about.
Actually… it can be reversed…
Well, ive seen both of those glitches, but ive never seen one turn into the other
How?
CoughmagicCough
EDIT: Go on facebook. I’m bored…
You need a new song.
When there is a share bug.
Considering the fact that me and unknowned have the hands down most hilarious rivalry out of anyone else on notessimo, I will probably get around to actually doing something soon to compete with his songs. (Or atleast when DD12 comes back from vacation)
Bumping for justice.
Like I said on the song’s page, it’s amazing and there’s nothing I don’t like about it.
Alright time for some critique. Rubs palms
I thought the song was okay. It’s techno, so obviously the drums are terrible. In fact I hated the drums. Bass #4 is without a doubt the worst bass for this genre. And snare #5? Why not 3 or 2? And the high-hat was just an annoyance. You can tell that this song wasn’t set up very well to be a techno song.
Sure the bass riff was good. Probably the best or second-best part of the song. But it was heavily over-shadowed by the fact that almost every synth riff is based directly over it. I loved the sheet 7-8-9 combo because not only was it a great, and I mean great, transition into the speed-up, it let us hear the riff without any synths over it.
Speaking of which, the speed-up was nice. Kept things fresh and unpredictable, so that you didn’t really notice that the next few sheets were just a copy-pasta of the bass riff with yet more synths. And yet, as if it was there to save the song, synth #3 was placed, and what a god-send it was. It trully is the most dynamic of all the synths, I never expected such a rock-and-rollish solo in sheet 18 to sound so good with a synthesizer. And then there’s sheet 17. Like most songs, such as circus express and DC’s newest song (sorry for not remembering the name), there is always that silver lining sheet that somehow uses crazy techniques and out-of-the box thinking to create a great sheet, and this was sheet 17 for me. Or rather, until the terrible ending of it. But that aside, it was truly a nice listen.
Yeah and the rest of the song is pretty self-same. The transition from solo to regular song felt like it came in a little too early, and really felt like you were trying too hard. Sure, it sounded decent enough, but it felt like it belonged in a rock and roll piece instead of techno.
As Fish said, the transition into it being a loop is good. It works out if you decide to start like half-way in or something. Because this song begs for an intro like Saga of the Dragon did. It sounds nice and gives the song a great amount of re-play value because somehow the beginning somehow sounds better the second time around.
Overall, I give this song a 4.3. It’s not a bad song, far from it, but it lacks that quality that makes songs like Fields of Theory and Rise of Credence stand out, and that is that they sound and feel like a whole TON of effort was put into them. In songs like those, it seems like no matter how small an aspect was, it was dealt with with the same amount of attention that a more major part had, even if it didn’t.

Thank you for the criticism. This thread was desperately lacking maturity for the last 8 or so pages.
Anytime.
Oh and I hope that everyone realizes that whenever I give criticism like that, no matter how bad it seems, I actually loved the song. I do my best to give a fair and unbiased rating of a song
This thread definatly needed a new song lol
So basically the more lower I rate a song the better I am at criticizing?
No.
The less bias there is in a critique, the better. Give people a fair review, because if I said that this song was amazing and needed no further critique, it might offend other people with great techno songs. Take Unknowned for example. When he released Circus Express, everyone was in awe of it’s brilliance. So everyone was simply saying things like “That was epic” and “5/5 great song!” I then preceded to critique it and give it a 3.5 rating, on account of my own opinion of the song coupled with an in-depth analysis. If I were to say this song was so epic and such, he might get offended that he made a song that is many times better than this one on terms of techno and it got a worse review.
If you rate a song low, you better explain why, which is why most people just follow the normal “Oh that was epic” guideline. Hope this helps.
Star, umm… Don’t you have anything better to do then going around making GIANT criticism?
I’d say my time was well spent.
I don’t want to say too much more on the subject, so I will leave you with a single sentence:
The reason I make these huge posts is because I see them as a way to show real thanks to any particular user for taking about around a total of 10 hours over the course of 4 or 5 days (give or take a few) to make something that is totally free, and requires a pretty good effort.
Don’t you have anything better to do than to leave uselessly negative remarks here?
Perhaps you are not accustomed to constructive criticism. Is it an alien concept to you? Let me tell you something, it’s supposed to be HELPFUL, the antonym of which exactly describes your post.
Star posts large reviews because it will be beneficial to those who receive it. Is there any reason why you should try to hinder his efforts?
