Me in contrast likes Gojira a lot

Oh boy............... You so made my day!!! So cool to read you again, m8 - sorry no RR that. Nice guitar there . Don´t make it go silent again! Rock! Rod.

Absolutely. Everything is fine, and it´s on a very high level. We are always +- 0.5 - that´s way way better than in the beginning of the Champs, when started to implement Classes and started to rate songs. That topic will show how hard it is to be only objective on a song But what´s important to state is what a certain difficulty shall not hold, cause it´s too hard. And yeah - difficulties of songs are far more than RS recognition can tell - you name some important points. Stamina or Speed (16th and 32th) can make a simple but fast and long path very much harder than it seems on a screenshot. Also esp. on rhythm parts (but anywhere) the ability to make a rhythm or riff sound right defines the difficulty, not the recognition. Let´s see. Rod.

I´ll start the week with a last weeks post that is important to me; have a blast of a week - all great songs and please be verbose about your diff rating impressions. M8, m8, m8, m8! Stop it! There is no doing wrong in diff ratings!!!! To a point diff ratings are always some kind of subjective and more importantly NOT VERY IMPORTANT FOR THE COMPETITION!!!!!! because it´s absolutely ok to get harder or easier songs from time to time - and it´s the same for everyone! YOU ARE DOING GREAT AND WE WON´T LET YOU BAIL!!! Thx for your work. All is great. Discussions about diff ratings are never a personal offence but help to optimize the CS and CF world for everyone. Comments are a bit harsh from time to time - but most here are not native english speaking - that explains most of it. However we shall avoid using terms like WRONG or FALSE cause.... it´s offensive and truely speaking a rating +-1 is not wrong. THANKS TO ANYONE PUTTING SONGS INTO SSL and furthermore THANKS TO ANYONE RATING PATHs IN SSL - you keep the CS going!!!! To improve the situation. There is something that has to be done for long time. C´mon let´s get it on and create a Compendium about the most possible objective diff rating criteria - you´ll see it´s straight forward - i´ll start a thread about that (update: did that) and please everyone, esp. @ Mikson who is a prof. rater by now add your thoughts and add corrections with comments. I am in contact and nagging to implement diff ratings into Ignition for quite some time. I wont stop. That will help. Rod.

This is colaborative work. The collection of opinions end experience of Championship organizers, song raters, players and CF members. Work in progress. If you wanna add something please copy this whole text, add your statement in the fitting place or if you want something changed please cross it out and comment stating your member name! I will update the opening post. Let´s go. Diff ratings are 1(very easy) to 10(ultra hard). We are in the good position that we have 5 diff classes that those diff ratings are assigned to.. Classes difficulties standards are BEG: 1-3 INT: 4,5 ADV: 6,7 MC: 8,9 GoG 10 that does make it easier to begin with: Beg (1-3) very easy charts, basic chords, no fast changes, basic tunings, easy single note melodies and solos. MC/Gog (8) Masterclass = very hard charts (9) absolute Masterclass, (10) insane charts what´s left is to define are diffs (4) to (7) easy intermediate to hard advanced. General statements: 1) In general songs (= songpaths) shall be rated by their hardest parts because if you cannot master the hardest part you cannot master the song. Exception can be made here eventually if there is a eg. VERY short (surely not 50+ notes) harder solo in an else easy chorded song. It´s also ok to rate that song after the hardest part - that songs just may not be very feasible for the CS for the vast inter-song diff difference. 2) If you feel a song does not meet one straight number (.5) ratings are welcome of course. 3) Scores are in general not helpful for difficulty ratings! Why? There are eg. songs with short very hard sections with few notes that make them very hard rated songs... the long easy chord sections will bring a very high accuracy. OR there will be easy to play songs that will be badly recognised in RS that will yield a low accuracy. Both of the above might not be optimal for competition, no - but the accuracy will not show the difficulty in a lot of songs. 4) The ability to master a song of the highest difficulty of a class (3/5/7), meaning achieving 99% (guitar), 99,5% (bass) or more marks the limit to level up to the next class (respecting 4) that might be cozen - so it´s up to the player to deny the level-up). X) Rating songs is always a somehow overall impression of the playthrough and also always for some degree subjective (because of personal preference, personal playing style and taste) so the features below mark non-cemented cornerstones that fit "best" in the category. Best not always. BEG - mostly exclusive E-Std, Drop D, almost NO harmonics or other tech notes, NO fast chord switches, only basic slow melody parts and solos (1) (2) (3) INT (4) (5) ADV (6) (7) MC (8) (9) God of Guitar (10) everything above (last update 22.07.24 - @ Rodman ) To be continued soon.

Well, thx Miks! I´m a bit bassless these days 1000km away from home with only my lovely Squier Mini Strat. Still love that so much. ... I should go on vacation more often so it get´s used I have tested all the paths and my notes state (5-6) for GD and (6-7) for Z7 - i decided to go with (5) to have it inside the INT (i like it when things are...less confusing let´s say) and there was something in the Z7 chart that made me decide - you nail that 99.5 - you deserve MC - scores prove me wrong. So we go 5.5 and 6. Rod.

It´s ChatGPT now - Chatty is ultra confident reading pictures and extracting data, even bad ones. @ avastreg is to get all the credit for the incredible App he created for that - started with something like OpenCV, switched to a payed OCR service that was better and migrated to GPTa while ago. We are constantly improving all that, next is to learn the App to correctly sort multiplayer scores. Rod

Anybody knows their CF username - i cannot find that convo about the CDLC quickly.

Yes, Rodman knows - ..... and they didn´t - didn´t know they are doing CDLCs. But they asked me once to do a CDLC for them, which i did ... well i shall be asking them right now if they ain´t joining the Champs, yay. Rod.
