Rock Band Harmonies Project – Megapack Release

(To download Rock Band Harmonies Project upgrades, check out the project’s home on Google Docs.)
Our goal at C3 is to provide quality custom songs, but that’s not the only custom content you can enjoy in RB3. One of our authors, espher, is the long-standing administrator of our sister project: the Rock Band Harmonies Project (RBHP). RBHP authors create upgrade files for official Rock Band DLC, enabling multi-part vocal harmonies, Pro Drums, and even Keys/Pro Keys in songs that don’t have those parts. The upgraded songs are playable online, and work on Title Update #5! Today, RBHP celebrates a huge content release; a “megapack”, if you will! (Or even if you won’t.) And it’s not just harmonies, either. Check out this big list of new content, with authors listed in parentheses:

Rush – “Xanadu” (farottone)

The first Friday C3 release demanded something epic, and something epic you got with the mind blowing RBHP megapack release by espher. So, as a single we needed something epic, and epic it is. Xanadu is the 11+ minutes long suite by Canada’s power trio Rush. And this is a very special version…

Long ago, when vinyl ruled the music world, audio real estate was at a price. And sometimes to make a song fit on an LP record, audio engineers had to speed it up a bit. And speeding up means changing the pitch slightly, so much so that if you ever tried to play Xanadu on bass or guitar or even sing it you have probably realised that you needed to adjust tuning.
Here however we have Xanadu as was intended, no speeding up, no half step adjustments, a real treat for Rush fans. So, do enjoy all instruments, including pro keys, in their original glory!

Taylor Swift – “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” (GHtoRB3)

Epic songs are a critical part of a Rock Band library, but what about party hits? Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” is the lead single from the famed country star’s 2012 album Red, which hit #1 on the Billboard 200 and has sold over 5 million copies worldwide. With this release, you too can experience the pain of having, like, a million different cheating boyfriends.
