    This is a file missing EMH:

    Fairly easy, this should get you acquainted with a Reaper project. Also, since it was asked, feedback is welcome:_ doing reductions I most of the time discover things I missed in a previous pass.

     

    Thanks! Will get on practicing this over the weekend.

      We can always use more playtesters. Always.

       

      Am I the only one who dreads vocals charting and venue animations but doesn’t mind reductions? Reductions take like 20 minutes per instrument tops for most verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus songs.

        Yeah, I’m always willing to entertain more playtesters, but I have a preference for keys/pro keys/vocals testers and/or people with broader musical tastes.

        Well I hope I can help you with those in the future!

         

        As for playtesting, I’m all for contributing there too, I just thought you were pretty much filled up.

        As I mentioned earlier, I play everything on Expert except Drum/Pro Drums & Pro Keys on Medium/Hard.

        If that’s of help and you still need people, please sign me up!

         

        Ok so, reductions, venue animation, dry vox, & play testing.

        Any and all of these skills that I can get a handle on, I will happily do for CCC songs.

        Hopefully after a little while at getting familiar with those processes, it will make it easier for me to jump into full custom making later on when I can devote more time to it.

         

        In the same way Farottone gave me a sample for reductions, can someone post a practice file for doing venue animations and dry vox?

         

        Thank you all for your suggestions.

        After I play around with these over the next few days, I’ll send my work to a few of the admin to see if it’s up to snuff and if it is, then count me in.

        I can give it a go on Keys and Vocals on Expert and Pro Keys on Med/Hard.

        I guess I’d prefer to try my hand at a couple Guitar/Bass songs first since those are my primary instruments, but if it was not too crazy a Keys song, like 4 or below, I could most likely get through all of it in one piece.

         

        Vocals are not a problem, as far as difficulty in game, but I think I’d need just a quick heads up what to look for there as I don’t play it often. If I get my wife to help out, that’s a different story.

        She plays Expert Vocals, and that’s it, from the very first RB. She’s pretty damn good too, consistent Gold Stars to this day, so she could be a big help with this and I’m sure she’d help out with that occasionally too.

         

        I also have a pretty wide music taste and I don’t mind play testing songs from genres that fall outside that.

        I’d just like to add my support for dedicated reducers – it’s by far the most tedious part of the custom process (just ahead of venue authoring).

         

        More playtesters would be good as well, since some people like myself really only have time to chart our own and not test others. Plus, the more people that view a chart, the more mistakes get spotted pre-release.

        If only it were that simple.

          If I didn’t have to concern myself with Harmonies, I wouldn’t mind vocal charting. But with harmonies, I dread it.

           

          I personally prefer to do my own reductions. Since I am most familiar with the chart and song, and since I know why I made the decisions I made, it just makes sense for me to reduce them myself right after finishing expert. Typically it takes me about 30 minutes per instrument per difficulty.

            Another way to contribute would be to come up with ideas for things we could do as blog posts/features to supplement the announcement posts. Bonus points if you want to be the guy that does them (and can convince us that you’d be good at them). I’m thinking of spinning off our neglected “around the community” feature into another weekly/biweekly blog post highlighting new customs, events, and accomplishments, to give an example.

            Just a thought, have you guys ever thought about putting a Donate button up? I’m sure I’m not the only person who would happily toss some coin your way to show my appreciation and ensure a CCC continues on for a long time. I guess it might be difficult to divest donations to the people hard at work doing the authoring, but I’m sure hosting and such costs a decent amount.

              We really appreciate your desire to help! Due to the nature of customs, though, we intentionally stay away from anything involving money. If you’d like to spend money to support Rock Band customs, buy the artists’ songs directly or buy some old RB DLC; if you’d like to support C3, the best way is to sign up for playtesting or to start authoring. <img decoding=” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif”>

                How much of your time do you spend in creating customs in..let’s say a week??

                  I was told there’s a forum for this.

                    We’ll be opening up a round of recruitment here shortly. It will be more structured than it was previously.
