osu!mapping: drum n bass

generalizing what i find interesting about how drum n bass is mapped
disclaimer/reminder -- there's a billion dnb songs and the things i say will leave out a lot of them. it would be impossible to make a video about everything inclusive of a genre lol

2:28 $1 snare and bass vs $1000 snare and bass

[@bananya6020]

hypercyte ok

[@pav_pab]

Big Marvel? :D

[@hypercyte]

パブロ yup glad someone got it

[@pav_pab]

hypercyte hehe

[@opposite342]

lol

[@pav_pab]

is it just me or today's "hello there" was really touching?

[@Minib34ts]

As a person who's been writing DnB for a few years and who has been fortunate enough to have had a couple tracks I've worked on mapped and ranked in the game, you hit the nail on the head.

[@PurityXD]

completely unrelated but your insane diff on Xi - Zauberkugel is a masterpiece. It will forever be one of my favorite maps just because how much it fits with the music and how fun it is to play.

[@emilyddeer]

nacht and bass 100

[@hypercyte]

yes

[@PeterEU]

yes

[@sirensis]

nacht 100 when

[@pav_pab]

yes

[@opposite342]

Yes

[@den0saur]

Damnae's diff on Ghost Assassin is so nut tbh,,

[@Ninjamaa]

DMB maps are like the music itself, chill.

[@ensei_alice]

i never was able to map drum n bass
now i can
cool

[@yukariyoshisaki6333]

reviving a tradition
hanairo biyori is still not linked in the description of the video about score v2 and the 9:00 map in ranking process as well
had a slog recently, but im feeling a bit more chipper than usual so im doing it again until you fix that shit

[@lordtraxroy]

breakcore dnb neurofunk jungle and every genre that is with breakbeats involved are able to map easly

[@BigGhoul53425]

Nice Job in the mapping Olympiad

[@Impcent]

how about a video on breakcore / speedcore / high bpm maps with many sounds going on at once and how to handle that sort of thing without overwhelming a player? mostly lapfox (the quick brown fox, renard, kitcaliber) maps come to mind honestly

[@HoveringZero]

I don't map, but I actually really like playing death stream and double bpm DnB maps.

[@davidmel2184]

I like that transition 4:47 lol

[@MintyCodes]

Really interesting video as always!

[@jazzenycatten]

You won Mapping Olympiad #1!

[@nathantellez4830]

osu!mapping: Future Bass thanks (:

[@daxtaken]

you mean Kawaii Bass?

[@over_loadcode]

1. deetz
2. ???

[@nathantellez4830]

PogChamp nah future bass or like squirrelpascals slow experimental future bass

[@james-rl4wz]

osu!mapping: Nathan & future bass

[@nathantellez4830]

nah osu!mapping: squirrelpascals & future bass would be better :^)

[@marrymetacos2801]

I fucking love DnB

[@meiyagii]

I have a question in regards to the recent events due to Sotarks’ Despacito map and the outcry of specific players. Do you think mapping could be defined as a transformative process?

[@ElMustaccio]

8:50 nice

[@MrNigel117]

At 7:11 I hear Polygon by Shock One but I don't see a map associated with the song in the description

[@vaarka7534]

I love you

[@secretpipe]

why am I not included on it :( I feel bad smh

[@SCRedstone]

Good Drum and Bass EDM is god

[@TMSupertriskel]

DnB mappkng video without any map from secretpipe oof

[@secretpipe]

this !!!

[@TMSupertriskel]

@@secretpipe ça fait longtemps dis donc

[@joaoarthur2945]

So complicated, so complex T_T

[@l1mi13]

Would be nice if he could explain ranked maps that are undermapped and overmapped at the same time. Maps where the mapper undermap to emphasize stronger sounds but at the same time place notes where absolutley nothing is playing. I can understand both but not at the same time. Dont you just get a made up rhythm then?

[@Celektus_]

Stefan I mean adding emphasis through undermapping works because it creates a really noticeable difference in note density (unless you undermap everything) and overmaping emphasizes things through note strain or just makes rhythm easier. You can easily mix the 2 and overmaping can even amplify the effect of undermapping for example imagine a overmapped triple leading into a undermapped 1/1 slider, the triple makes the sudden low density more apparent

[@l1mi13]

So its a made up rhythm that amplifies the undermapping and sometimes make it easier to play. (I heard that reason once before from Kite, that it makes it easier to play but didnt understand it and im not sure i do now either but ill try think about it a bit more). Feels good to know it at least has some purpose even if it feels wrong to play sometimes but damn this mapping meta is so diffuse and hard to comprehend.
It feels like anything goes as long as you can argue its for the sake of making it easier to play or for emphasis.

[@Celektus_]

Stefan just as an example of how overmaping can make things easier, pishi mentioned in 2 videos the use of overmapped doubles over 3/4 beat gaps since you effectively split this odd rhythm into 2 1/4 gaps and a 1/2 gap in between personally don't know many other uses of overmaping for simplification maybe how Dnb mappers usually put quints or triples into the 3/4 beat gaps of drums instead of mapping them

[@l1mi13]

I totally agree to that both undermapping and overmapping can be good, the problem come when you combine them at the same time. Thats what I have a problem understanding. I mean you end up with something that can sound super good, even better than the original music it self but not following the music.
Nghhn I need to make a joke map that explains it, give me a few months I map slowly. = )

[@technica5432]

I agree with this and I love the video!... except you didn't mention dnb marathons. those can be the most repetitive and boring maps out there...

[@gdash6925]

technica dnb is mostly boring tbh. Esp when its undermapped

[@abrahamd2002]

1:55 Does someone have the link of this Pendulum map?

[@itswinter4101]

Pishi always links all the map he uses as reference in the description of the video.

[@DeviousHands]
