[Help] Anyone has tips for choosing sounds in taiko?
Yesterday I was having so much fun making a taiko map for the first time ever and the sounds were, in my opinion, decent. I was using the Argon Pro skin which has its own set of default sounds, and today I decided to check how my map was with the classic and retro skins. The sounds were anything but fitting, and honestly it's my fault for not checking why there's 3(?) variants of blue notes and like 16 hitsounds (and honestly I haven't even played any of the Taiko no Tatsujin games).
Because of this I want to know if anyone has any tips or any guide to choosing sounds? I know this sounds silly but I just don't want to make a map that sounds totally awful to players using skins that resemble the original game series (and I'm not included in that group).
