What kind of missing features would you most appreciate added to mostly finished customs?

Hi all,
this summer I finally took the courage to learn and create my first custom, and Reaper tells me it took me only about 60 hours to do it
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” /> I have many other customs in mind, but this is always the time of the year when my free time for hobbies disappears, so I don’t see myself able to work on my next full custom until after Xmas probably… so I’ve been thinking that maybe I can put my newly acquired charting skills to contribute to the community with some lighter work, as I have already discussed privately with a few of you.There are thousands of customs in our database which are in totally playable state, basically complete, but are missing a feature or two. Different people may consider these features anything between nice-to-have only and quite essential, depending on your tastes and way to play the game, so I thought it would be useful to get a gauge and ask you directly on what kind of additions would be more appreciated. I won’t promise that I will necessarily work on whatever comes first on the poll, because I’m definitely not good at all with some of these, but I will certainly consider the results.
Let me also know if you want me to add more options to the poll. Note that the poll takes into account only songs that are at least in “legacy instruments” state, so I am not considering customs that are even more incomplete, as that could easily lead to a much heavier task.
100% pitched vocals for me, I always get really sad when I go to download a custom and don’t pay attention to the fact that it doesn’t have pitched vocals until I start playing it. Definitely strikes me as something that is mandatory in creating a high quality custom, though I do get that it is time consuming and isn’t for everyone, but I feel like it is really rewarding in the end.
Pitched vocals, harmonies, and lip sync. Go big or go home!
I have been assuming lip sync as part of the “detailed animation” group in the poll, but now I have also added specific mention for it, in case it wasn’t clear. Thanks!
This was a close one for me, but pitched vocals are very nice. Many times Ive ran into customs without them & although I enjoy karaoke style, & wished more authors would add that as a separate option, its nice to have a good pitched vocal challenge.
Honestly, just whatever’s actually missing being added! There’s lots of stuff that’s Guitar/drums only that could use the full band treatment.
Like Colt 45 (crazy rap) by Afroman for example, the whole thing kinda needs work because it’s out of sync, and it’s guitar only at the moment.
Out of the options, I guess I’d say Harmonies or Prokeys.
I definitely would love more charters to add rhythm guitar on songs that have very little/no keys in the audio, but I know I’m in the minority in that regard. I also stress authored reductions mainly because, although I play expert everything, it’s rare for my rock band nights to not have at least 2-3 people who cant play expert, so atrocious reductions can sometimes hamper the experience for them.
Lip sync, 100%. It’s super minor, but it always irked me when I’d find a custom of a song I love that’s full band, with pitched vocals and everything else, but it’s missing the lip sync/dryvox for the vocalist.
Pitched vocals for me. I refuse to download non-pitched charts for the sake that I mostly sing now when playing.
I’d just like to see customs fully authored and released all at once instead of piecemeal updates. Corrections happen, yes, but releasing a song before everything you plan to do is complete, I wish not.

Of course
