Finished my first chart in Reaper. Now what?

Forgive me if this has already been mentioned somewhere, but in Magma it requires a MIDI file, but all I used was a single mp3 file to create my chart in Reaper. It also requires a dry vocals file and I don’t know what to do with that. What do I do now? Also if I put “build song” will it then ask to incorporate my Reaper Project File or do I have to do something with this beforehand?
Thank you for these, but I have another problem that I can’t figure out. So my chart is expert only, but Magma finds errors in that there is overdrive and drum fills without notes for the other difficulties. Using CAT is suggested by the tutorial, so I attempt to use it to remove those errors, although Reaper says that Python is incompatible with it even though I’m sure I have the one suggested in that tutorial. Would overdrive need to be removed for expert only? And one other small problem is that a vocals note is apparently misaligned and I don’t seem to see it. Sorry if all of this is also mentioned somewhere.
If CAT won’t work, just copy the Expert notes down to Hard, Medium and Easy. Select all the notes and press Alt-C to copy them down to Hard. Select those notes and repeat for Medium and Easy.

What they said.
Magma requires that all difficulties need notes in them anywhere so theoretically you can have a single note in all of the lower difficulties and it’ll still work however if there aren’t any notes that reside in a drum fill or overdrive on those lower difficulties, Magma will think anyone playing on the lower difficulties won’t have notes to get that overdrive so it throws an error. As Whizzer said, just copy the notes to the lower difficulties and it’ll work fine.
As for the misaligned note, it tells you in Magma what measure the issue is at. Sometimes the misalignment is incredibly hard to see because it’s ever so slightly off or there’s a tiny note that you may have accidentally inserted. If it seems like it’s aligned, I’d just redo the note and lyric and if it still has an error, I just redo the whole measure.
I found another problem I have. The audio starts automatically when playing the song, even though in Reaper it should have the count in. I’m assuming it’s because of the backing track I put in Magma which is just the wav file of the song, which doesn’t have a count in. How do I get the audio to be on sync? and where would I put the audio in Magma’s audio section if not the backing track? I’m asking so many questions, so hopefully this will be the last.
You’re supposed to put the audio in the backing track, but you should render out the song with the countin in Reaper. You would go to File -> Render, and make sure the settings are stereo, a sample rate of 44100, and 16-Bit PCM bit depth. Make sure to only have the song audio (as well as the count in) audible (as in, disable the FX on the instrument tracks when rendering the audio), and you may need to adjust the timing in the time settings to be as long as the song needs to be.
You have uploaded an RBA, how have you tested an RBA on your console? Please reupload the song in the proper format.
I’m a PS4 player so I can’t test it but I do have Phase Shift for customs. I’m guessing I just upload the one without the .rba.
