If you have a google account, you can open “google apps” scroll down to “drive” and click on it to open your drive. From there it’s personal preference, I created 2 folders one with “RB custom WIP” and the other being “RB custom releases.” Once done, assuming you have the con file ready, drag it into the folder that you created into your drive. Then open that folder and you’ll see your custom, right-click it to open a pop-up menu and scroll down to “get sharable link.” From there another pop up should appear and where it says “restricted”, click on it and a drag down menu appears with the options of “restricted” and “anyone with link.” Set it to “anyone with link” and the link right above it should be the link to the custom. Once done copy the link to your WIP and people should be able to download it.

Side note be sure its set to “viewer” right next to “anyone with link.”

Hard to tell but I would say no only because there’s a difference between sound and feel of it being played if that makes any sense. I’ll watch my songs through a preview after its made, but once I load it up in rock band than that’s where it becomes more clear. However my RBN FX doesn’t work for some reason, so honestly I can’t help with that very much.

I don’t see anything wrong with posting a video preview for general advice.

Me either. Plenty of help has been given based on those videos. If we can hear the song and see how your chart is going, plenty of advice can be given by sharing just that.

Hmm maybe my advice was too much based off my personal experience, and if it’s for general advice I can see that working. Whatever works the best for him is what I should have said having anything to work with is better than nothing, but having the song at hand will always remain on top.

I think this is really good for your first charts. The tempo map seems to be in good shape (which is the base for all good work), the drums are pretty good though you are missing the pro notes (please ensure you author those so a person can get full enjoyment from the chart) and your note placement is relatively accurate. (on drums you have some notes that are too close to the kick pedal and you’re missing some notes on guitar that I hear but aren’t charted).

Your biggest issue is your sustains. You have them right against each other on guitar and they need to be backed off. You also have a lot of short sustains that should just turn into single notes. If you run CAT and run the command Fix Sustains, you’ll see how CAT fixes them and you’ll be able to understand how to adjust accordingly.

Overall, good job. I definitely was no where close to this good out of the gate.

First :20 in the song you’re off grid. that could be a tempo map issue or just your note alignment. but if you play it, the player will feel a bit “off” when hitting those notes. which makes it seem like you missed some. seems like the tempo syncs up at :22 though.

:40 – you come in too late or you haven’t charted enough notes. go really slow through this area and you’ll see you have guitar playing before your first green note.

1:13 – it’s a three strum chord progression, you have it mapped as singles

2:08 -2:16 – this section doesn’t line up with the guitar that’s playing. Again, slow it down to hear your notes aren’t hitting in time with the music. they might be the right pattern, but they are out of sync. Good transition though to the follow up solo. Make sure to mark that solo as a solo.

Based on your comment I’m guessing you’re only doing 5-lane keys? It’s sometimes better to author pro keys as they are played, then start taking notes away so they are able to be played with one hand only. Most the time, that means eliminating what the left hand plays. So once you have that, you then do a conversion for 5-lane keys. So basically, you want to emulate as close to playing real keys as you can. If a keyboardist is hitting three notes then author three notes. I wouldn’t just make them three notes without it being like you’d play on an actual keyboard.

I’d also check out that section on the docs again and read it over. It took me quite a while to get authoring keys down (and I still don’t profess at being an authority with it) so keep at that one.

For your other comment regarding files:

The midi file will only contain the tracks you are creating and will NOT include any of your audio files. If you aren’t using multitracks, you’ll have audio files that you load up in MAGMA (the main audio track with count in, a silent track, and your dryvox track(s)). These will be compiled INTO the CON file that is used in game. This will compile ALONG WITH the midi file you create. So think of these things separately. MULTIPLE audio files, ONE midi file.

And then lastly your credit:

You really only need to credit when someone is contributing a chart (keys, guitar, bass, drums, venue, etc.). You don’t need to credit people who help you along the way. You can thank them if you wish, but it’s not required. If someone helps you directly author a track, you should credit that.

Hope that helps and keep at it!

As for solo, I just have a single long note across the entire solo part, is that not how it is supposed to be?

Yes. Just can’t see that in the preview window so just ensuring you had it there.
