Hey guys,

Beeing a huge Rock Band fan and musician, I can’t believe I haven’t found this website sooner.

It got me interested in charting songs, and I started with some nice results so far. Yesterday I finished the first version of a song I’m working on for a pack I’d like to offer in the future.

Anyway, I wanted to export a new song today and got the following errors in Magma:

etc....

The first problem is, that Magma immediately told me it found 0 tempo markers. Which is strange. Because I have a tempo marker right at 1.1.00. And yes, I have checked “Embed Tempo Mark” in REAPER.

Also, that other problem “Gem at … is only 0.00 seconds into the song” doesn’t make much sense either.

The song I’m charting has an intro. The intro starts around 3.3.00 and the real song starts at 11.1.00 (that’s when the first charted instrument sets in).

Could it have something to do with the text events? But if so, I also don’t know why. I have a [music_start] Event at 3.1.00 as usual, even though the song starts a bit later, but I assume that doesn’t matter as long as the event is not sooner than 3.1.00.

Am I missing something else? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks!
