Hey guys! Wasn’t sure what forum this would be most appropriate in butthis seemed chill!

I’m new to this whole customs thing but I’m so stoked this community actually exists. I tried getting into customs probably just under a decade ago at this point in time, but at that time the community wasn’t there yet. The best community rhythm gamers got was scorehero lmao.

But anyways, I just wanted to introduce myself and express my excitement for this, the infinite possibility for the future ofmusic games. I spent a good 12 hours authoring and getting my first song playable (on expert guitar at least lol) today. I have a background both in music (as a metal guitarist & as an electronic music producer) as well as in audio engineering/mixing (went to school for that, on top of the stuff i taught myself by learning electronic production).

So, authoring by ear came to me in a heartbeat. Because of that, I decided to toss myself into the deep end and make my first custom authoring a Dillinger Escape Plan song (“Prancer” off the album “One of Us is the Killer”). This song features extended sections that alternate every couple bars (sometimes every bar) between 5/4, 6/8, 6/4, 9/8, 11/8, 12/8, and for one extended section, 12/4 (I know that signature can be simplified, I just didn’t bother for authoring lol)

Needless to say, tempo mapping by ear has been and continues to be a challenge, but it’s a challenge I fully understand and love the process of!

That said, y’all can expect a plethora of heavy music charts from me, especially on guitar and probably full band in the future.

It’s insane how Rock Band hit it’s peak last gen and yet the customs community, as far as i can tell, is not only active but slowly beginning to grow within the past couple years.

Pumped to be a part of it, and I can’t wait to bring some seriously hardcore charts to y’all!
