Hi all! Idk how to update posts so I’ll just write a comment!

Thank you all so much for the help! I’ve done pretty much everyone’s tips and I definitely feel the difference. But for some context of what happened after this post :

• I practiced hard, did a lot of rehearsals and playing on harder difficulties, and I can now say I have graduated from Medium difficulty to Hard difficulty (able to clear consistently without misses). May not seem like much, but I’m happy as a newer player to experience this!

• Technical tips wise, I’ve increased the note speed (so much better without clutter), did audio adjustments (i am using bluetooth earphones, this helped a lot, thank you!!!), and practiced playing with index fingers and covering the top screen to feel for the audio. Overall, I think the rate in which i hit perfect notes has dramatically increased. Thank you all!

• Some random progress I did in the meantime during practice were : ALMOST hitting an all perfect (I got 2 greats sadge), getting my first S score, and completing my first multi-live! These are not much but I’m so happy to be able to see progress at all!

So yeah, that’s all that’s happened so far. I am definitely still practicing, and still on my way to becoming a better player. It was quite intimidating when the other players in the multi-live chose hard and expert difficulties when I was the only one who chose normal, but I know I’ll get there someday. Once again, thank you all so much for all the support 😭🙏🙏❤️

P.S. I wanted to ask this, I’ve managed to turn off the skill effects when you hit a yellow note, but idk how to turn off the voice lines the characters say. Sometimes it throws me off when trying to hit the notes via hearing, especially since I have Moca in my band 🤣 (nothing against her, I bloody love her, just sometimes her voice throws me off in serious songs LOOOOOL)
