    Got weird errors that didn’t make sense on harmonies for Taos by Menomena, so despite charting them, the initial upload will be lead vocals only.

     

    Unfortunately, as noted, I had a catastrophic backup-less loss of the working files for the stuff I had CONs for already, o fixing small stuff may be impossible (unless people know ways to “unpack” the con to its constituent parts?)

    You can use C3 CON Tools to pull bits out of a CON, including the MIDI and DTA files. That means you can make fixes to existing CONs and even replace those bits without rebuilding a whole new CON in Magma.

    Oh! I knew about the DTA extractor (and quick editor), but I didn’t know the midi file could be extracted. Now I see that option… sweet!! <img decoding=” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

    Actually… and I may need to go outside this thread for the answer, BUT. Once you extract a midi file from a con, how the heck to do you get it rebundled in?

    Same tool you used to extract the MIDI.

     

    I assume you’ve found the “hidden” tool”, that is, the single-CON package explorer that appears when you drag-and-drop a CON onto the C3 CON Tools window but not onto any particular button. That tool also lets you replace files inside the CON. For the MIDI, it’s particularly easy: just drag-and-drop the new MIDI onto the “MIDI” button. You’ll be asked to confirm the replacement. Then, once you click “Save” to make your change permanent, you’re done!

    I did, by total accident. Up til then I was like “ok, I figured out how to extract things” and as I was realizing I didn’t know how to put parts back together outside of an entire Magma remake, I accidentally dropped during a drag and boom ;-)

     

    Thank you, though, there’re a lot of little tricks to pick up and not all of them are obvious or well documented :huh:

    I would definitely play those Elbow tracks, looking forward to them!

    Hey FujiSkunk, how did you make the link to all of your customs in your sig? I would like to do that (to get rid of the lower section in my top post), and I thought I could just do a search in “customs” and use the results URL, but no go.

     

    EDIT: well, I just copied your URL and put in my Author ID. Seems to work.

    You got it. <img decoding=” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

     

    For future reference, you can find that link on your “My Content” page. It’s the “Customs” link on the left-hand side.
