Guys (and gals), sorry if I gave you the wrong idea. There is no way that I’m going to be able to make multiple “Weird Al” characters just for the video. You get to pick one. I have all my character slots taken up, I actually had to delete one of my characters to make this one. I can’t delete any more, since I use them often. And I can’t stop in the middle of recording to modify the character.
So one “Weird Al” to represent them all. I know, it’s crazy, but we gotta work with what we got.
As far as “corny Hawaiian shirt”, I looked (I had a bunch of weird al pics on screen while doing this so that popped up a lot), could not find anything in the game that even came close.
As much as future-me will hate past-me for doing this, I volunteer for vocals on Albuquerque. Assuming we’re doing it as a collab, anyway.PAST-ME, YOU ARE A FUCKING DICK.
If it helps, I have guitar and bass reductions almost finished. Also, who’s compiling the song when we’re all finished?
I’ll see if I can get the reductions for drums done tomorrow. I take it pksage will be compiling it cause he’s the one who scheduled it?
Also, Another One Rides the Bus is nearly done, I’m just working on reductions for W&N first.
Do you guys want me to add overdrive for drums or do we want to figure out unison phrases and what not? For Albuquerque of course.
Yeah, I’m happy to compile Albuquerque. I will almost certainly be the last one to finish. (I’m currently at the bear claws solo, a mere 348 seconds into the 674 seconds of vocals. Yes. I’m counting.)
If you guys want to figure out Unisons before sending it to me, that’d be a big help, since it’s 12 minutes of overdrive.
Hey, while I’m here…drummerockband, would you like to be included in the formal DB credits for Polka Power!, or are you cool with a note in the blog? I don’t want to downplay your efforts to make it possible, and it still uses your tempo map and most of your X-drums chart, but I totally see that song as my baby after that grueling PK and vocals authoring.

You don’t even have to mention it in the blog. Just happy to help

I totally have sympathy for everyone who does songs this long, and I’m just doing drums for crying out loud!
It will so be worth it in the end though.
I should mention that me compiling Albuquerque does not include doing a venue. There is nooooo way I am touching the venue for a song this long. I’ll be doing a 100% autogen’d one, unless someone would like to go back into the autogen’d one and add a few specific touches.
I have guitar/bass done and sent to pksage. Also, I probably won’t get it done by v1, but I can at least do custom stage direction for the song, though I too don’t think it’s worth the time this late in the game to do custom camera cuts, and I think the default post processing effect is all that’d be needed for this song.
I agree. People underestimate what HMX put into the venue autogen. As long as the practice sessions in the EVENTS track are detailed, the output from the autogen is pretty good. One thing I would say is a must is the sing-along notes in the venue but that’s a 5 second job.
I have already told pksage and drummerockband, I guess I ought to let you all know. I’m delaying recording the video for this song until Tuesday night/Wednesday morning to make sure we get as much done as possible. Don’t operate under the normal Monday 5PM deadline for this pack.
DONEZO.
As mentioned in that OP, Albuquerque needs some work on at least X-guitar and X-drums, and we still need non-vocals overdrive and easy drums. Gigakoops, since drummerockband is out this weekend, can you please do me the huge favor of adding OD to G/B/D? I simply don’t have the time (I’m trying to work one final song into this pack). I believe drummerockband is still intending to author easy drums when he gets back.
This song is a masterpiece, guys. Even though we’ve got a ways to go before it’s done, kudos to everyone involved.
The song I was trying to prepare at the last minute is/was The Saga Begins, but there’s simply too much work to be done to convert it from American Pie. It would make more sense to intentionally ignore American Pie’s charts (except maybe drums) and do it all from scratch.
The fact that this pack does not feature a round number of songs is really bothering me. Odds are good that I’m going to try and squeeze out Pretty Fly for a Rabbi before release, which should be a much cleaner conversion from its Rock Band counterpart than The Saga Begins.
