That was a pretty buried discussion so I’m not surprised you didn’t find it. Not sure why you feel like people hate you or find you not funny, I’ve not read anything that points to that. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif”>

 

Anyway, I would see a use for a tool to do this, definitely, but I’m not sure how many people here beside Nemo have the expertise to do so.

Haha thanks, Yeh that last bit wasn’t meant to sound so self pitied, just trying to chill about it lol ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />

 

I actually think I’ll look into it myself, because it seems to be a really simple program.

 

It’s obviously highly likely I’m underestimating the whole thing, but nevertheless I’ll give it a go.

 

I have a good grasp of programming’s absolute basics and functioning, and it’d be a good way to expand my skills in that area, since I’ve always wanted to do something programming related.

I say go for it. Keyboard dropping in and out between songs made it so I never even plug the thing in anyway. I always just pick keytar if it’s harder than guitar. I’m on PS3 and the upgrades are a little more complicated so I wouldn’t do it for all the songs, but I think it sounds like a fun idea.

I understand the point OP is making. But also understand Nemo’s “traditionalist” position. (For the record, I kinda fall in the “traditionalist” camp, too)

I don’t like using blanket generalizations, but I think most active authors here *typically* try to render charts as “faithfully” as they can (well, as “faithfully” as one can do dumbing down musical notation into 5-button combinations). That means only charting instruments which actually appear in the song, etc.

 

On the other hand, the beauty about customization is that you can do whatever the heck you want. If you want to duplicate guitar midi tracks into part KEYS…hey…go for it! C3 has already provided the tools to allow you to do this. I don’t think you should expect C3 developers to spend time building *more* tools to help with this (they’ve already done enough, and some have moved onto other pursuits in life), so you have to respect that stance, too.

 

Personally…if I know people are coming over who are going to want to play full-band (including keys)…I’ll typically formulate a setlist (or load up the USB stick) with songs that I know have interesting parts for everybody. Sometimes, even limiting the choices for your guests can help provide for a more immersive play experience. Don’t give them the option to debate picking a song that only has vox and guitar in the first place, perhaps.

 

Anyways, good luck with whatever you choose to do. If you end up building out a new tool to quickly extract/duplicate instrumental parts/rebuild CON, then please feel free to share it here. This community is all about selflessly sharing and trying to give back.
