Hello!
I’m happy to announce the Stage Kit Optimization Project, or as I call it, SKOP!But Hamiltron, what is The Stage Kit Optimization Project?
(It’s pronounced SKOP) Glad you asked!
SKOP is an effort to add venues to songs that lack them.
But what makes it an optimization for Stage Kits, you ask?Well songs without custom venues or auto generated ones often display a blue light for the duration of the song. For use stage kit users it is boring.
While it is not really noticeably during gameplay for those without stage kits, as the stage is just lit up without any special effects or such, it still doesn’t pop as do those with custom lighting or fully authored pieces.
What I, and perhaps others (lemme know if you wanna help) hope to accomplish with this is simply making songs in the C3 database ‘complete’, by finishing up those songs by topping em off with a custom venue.
But Hamiltron! What drew you to start this project?
Ah yes, another question.
I would love to fully author songs for the C3 database, but unfortunately I lack the time as a college student. How ever I was determined to somehow help out this community so I figured out how to finish off venues when
I realized my favorite songs don’t react to my newly acquired stage kit.So, Hamiltron! You’re really new to this, what makes you qualified to trust you with my sweet, sweet charts?
Valid question. I am quite new to this, but I feel pretty confident that I have a grasp on the venue process, the lighting side of things at least. I don’t intend on doing custom cam work.
It should be noted that I am a theater nerd of sorts and have taken a few college courses that have had units on light design, so I’d like to apply what I’ve learned from there to Rock Band.Alright, I’m sold, how can I have my song get a custom venue by you?
Great question!
Since I’m the only person on this project, I can only do so many songs at a time. And on top of that, I’m a bit picky
(Please don’t hate me) So I won’t do every song that is asked to for me to add a venue to. (Hence why I hope to get others involved)But that being said, what songs pique my interest?
Classic Rock
Novelty (Think Weird Al or songs from Video Games)
Broadway/Musicals/Movie Sound Tracks
PopSure fire ways for me to pick up your song is for it to be on my Mega Request Thread. Those I will gladly help with.
So you have a song for me? You can either send me a message here, in the comments of this thread, or on Discord, if you’re in the Discord, and I shall respond accordingly.
I may even contact you to see if I could work on your song, there are lots I have in mind that I’d like to add venues to and that I have some visions for.
The main requirement for a song to be picked up is that all the other track parts that are present in the song are complete, as well as all difficulties. Then I can come in and finish off the song with a venue and it should complete the song.
Just put my name in the description as the one who made the venue of your C3 entry, and you’re all set. I’ll also put it in this thread as having been part of SKOP.
Production is slowing down to a combination of school and other projects I’m working on (including songs not listed here.) Still working on these songs, but my other projects are taking priority right now. I’ve been working on songs from this list whenever I’m free!

Released Songs:
(1-16-2020) This one was a collab with RongoIK, who did the authoring of the instruments. We managed to pump this out 6 hours after the release of the song, and I managed to do the venue lighting within 14 minutes in between classes. Woah. http://customscreators.com/index.php?/page/index.html/_/oh-yeah-r25485
(1-28-2020) I love Jesus Christ Superstar, so I’m glad that Emotional Flight let me do the lights on this one, a short and sweet (Well, not sweet in the mood) number from the Rock Opera in which Peter denies having any attachment to Christ as he had predicted. Here’s hoping Emotional Flight will do a few more off the Rock Opera. http://customscreators.com/index.php?/page/index.html/_/peters-denial-r19520
(1-28-2020) A popular ballad from Top Gun, the lighting for this was pretty straightforward and stripped down compared to the rest of my work. http://customscreators.com/index.php?/page/index.html/_/take-my-breath-away-r23199
(1-28-2020) This was a fun one to work on, mostly because the song is so fun as well. If you’re not familiar with Bad Lip Reading, they do skits in which they re-dub things like Star Wars. Sometimes they even make songs, this is one of those songs. Enjoy! http://customscreators.com/index.php?/page/index.html/_/not-the-future-r24615
(1-28-2020) This one I couldn’t be more proud of. If I can toot my own horn a bit, I think the lighting I did for this one is fantastic, even more so for those with a stage kit! I should also thank Kramerika for introducing me to this song, as it led me down a rabbit hole in which I discovered an amazing musical called Chess. For those not familiar with Chess it follows the story of a Chess game between the American and Russian Champions during the Cold War. With Lyrics by Tim Rice, and music by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus of ABBA, there’s just good song after good song on that original concept album. If you only update one of three of Kramerika’s customs, this is the one I recommend. Highly. http://customscreators.com/index.php?/page/index.html/_/one-night-in-bangkok-r23201
(1-28-2020) More work on RongoIK’s Green Day songs. This one was fun to work on, but rather simple. Beware if you’re prone to epilepsy. http://customscreators.com/index.php?/page/index.html/_/platypus-i-hate-you-r24871
(1-28-2020) Probably one of my favorite songs off of Rev. Radio is the title song. It feels like a return to form for Green Day. I’ll be interested to see what comes out of Father of All Motherfuckers. http://customscreators.com/index.php?/page/index.html/_/revolution-radio-r18822
(1-28-2020) Another great track off of Nimrod. Very happy and proud of the lighting on this one! Stage Kit users will definitely have fun with this. http://customscreators.com/index.php?/page/index.html/_/king-for-a-day-r24870
(1-28-2020) Finally we come to Redundant. It used to be my favorite GD song. But the lighting for this has gone through so many revisions, and I’ve had to listen to it so many damn times, that I’m happy it’s finally in a state I’m pleased with. Still very much enjoyable though! http://customscreators.com/index.php?/page/index.html/_/redundant-r24873
(2-25-2020) I’ve been sitting on this one for quite sometime now. A great little instrumental track by David Bowie off of his album, Low. This one was authored by Sr.Moog. Enjoy! http://customscreators.com/index.php?/page/index.html/_/speed-of-life-r25142
(2-27-2020) You know this song, we all know this song. Sung at karaoke bars everywhere, and probably just about every sporting event (at least in America). This was a fun one to chart the lights for. This was originally charted by SpinDoctor. Have fun! http://customscreators.com/index.php?/page/index.html/_/sweet-caroline-r17686
(2-27-2020) I love this song! The harmonies are great, the melody is infectious as hell, it’s not unlikely for this song to randomly pop into my head. I’m hoping we’ll see more of The Four Seasons in the database soon. Have fun with this song, instruments charted by SpinDoctor. http://customscreators.com/index.php?/page/index.html/_/december-1963-oh-what-a-ni-r16453
(3-10-2020) My favorite Track off of Father Of All. It’s just such a bop, this was fun to chart! Instruments charted by RongoIK
http://customscreators.com/index.php?/page/index.html/_/i-was-a-teenage-teenager-r25741
(3-10-2020) This track has that frantic Green Day energy we know and love- Fast paced, and quick strumming makes this one a blast to play. Instruments charted by RongoIK
http://customscreators.com/index.php?/page/index.html/_/sugar-youth-r25740
(3-10-2020) “You can take a walk or you can suck my cock, take the money and crawl.”…..’Nuff said.
Instruments charted by RongoIK

(3-10-2020) http://customscreators.com/index.php?/page/index.html/_/graffitia-r25738 Another great track off of Father of All. Don’t have much to say about this song other than that it is great. Have a listen for yourself! Instruments charted by RongoIK
(4-5-2020) http://customscreators.com/index.php?/page/index.html/_/i-think-were-alone-now-r25937 Billie Joe knew what he was doing when he released this song. (For those coming from the Future, we’re all locked inside now. Yay. I think many of us are alone now) Joking aside. I love this song so so so much, and this cover is great! Doing the lighting on this was great fun too. This is also my first time doing CAMERA WORK! From here on out, songs I work on, should they not have custom cam work will be done by me! Instruments by RongoIK
(4-7-2020) http://customscreators.com/index.php?/page/index.html/_/overture-r25951 Also part of the JCS Project I formed, I helped with Lighting on this while BsBloom and Emotional Flight took care of the instrument charting. Stay tuned for more from JCS! These songs are a blast to work on.
(4-7-2020) http://customscreators.com/index.php?/page/index.html/_/heaven-on-their-minds-r25952 Arguably my favorite song from JCS, I’m thrilled to have helped bring it to RB3! Also part of the JCS Project. Lighting by me, Camera by Emotional Flight. Instruments by BsBloom and Emotional Flight. Such a fun song to help create and play in-game!
(4-11-2020) http://customscreators.com/index.php?/page/index.html/_/manic-monday-r25986
Another great cover from Billie Joe for No Fun Mondays. I can’t tell you how hard it was to get the chart for this finished. (I mean, it’s not any more difficult than doing any of the others, but REAPER kept crashing on me. This might be one that I come back to in the future.
(7-5-2020) It’s been a bit, but here’s another upgrade. This classic song by Elvis Presley was charted by SpinDoctor! http://customscreators.com/index.php?/page/index.html/_/burning-love-r17504
S.K.O.P. Releases = 20
I would be delighted if you would perform venues in my songs since, honestly, I don’t know how to perform them. The songs that I have uploaded and that I plan to upload I think that they do not agree with your requirements but in case more people join to perform venues, I will be happy to provide my songs!
Now looking for help with getting some songs into a workable RPP file from songs where the RPP files are no longer available.
So, I sent a private message about volunteering to do tempo maps for you, then I had a thought. If you can extract the MIDI out of the CON file, the MIDI should have the tempo map ingrained into it. Just place the MIDI into Reaper, it’ll probably ask if you want to keep the tempo intact or something, and I suppose voila.
