Thanks, both answers help immensely!!

Oh please do bring “This Will Be Our Year” to fruition!!!

Hey FujiSkunk, how did you make the link to all of your customs in your sig? I would like to do that (to get rid of the lower section in my top post), and I thought I could just do a search in “customs” and use the results URL, but no go.

 

EDIT: well, I just copied your URL and put in my Author ID. Seems to work.

The way it worked out for me is I have two RB3 discs — one MadCatz and one EA. I take out my customs flash drive and use the MadCatz disc when I want to go online and buy content, then switch disks and put in my drive to play!

[a2dmusic]

That’s a great chart! I wish they were a bit more consistent in the conventions (this, and things like “PART [instrument]” everything except HARM… etc). But that Harmonix created RBN at all (allowing for everythingthat has flowed from it, like this fantastic site from what I understand) is such a great thing, I won’t quibble too much. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />

I did, by total accident. Up til then I was like “ok, I figured out how to extract things” and as I was realizing I didn’t know how to put parts back together outside of an entire Magma remake, I accidentally dropped during a drag and boom

 

Thank you, though, there’re a lot of little tricks to pick up and not all of them are obvious or well documented

[a2dmusic]

Thank you…!! I realize it’s kind of a simple thing, but when you read the Harmonix docs, it’s left unclear. Especially since there’s a lot of inconsistency (like crowd_normal/crowd_intense/crowd_mellow…. but no “normal” for play).

[a2dmusic]

Actually… and I may need to go outside this thread for the answer, BUT. Once you extract a midi file from a con, how the heck to do you get it rebundled in?

[a2dmusic]

You can use C3 CON Tools to pull bits out of a CON, including the MIDI and DTA files. That means you can make fixes to existing CONs and even replace those bits without rebuilding a whole new CON in Magma.

Oh! I knew about the DTA extractor (and quick editor), but I didn’t know the midi file could be extracted. Now I see that option… sweet!! ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

Got weird errors that didn’t make sense on harmonies for Taos by Menomena, so despite charting them, the initial upload will be lead vocals only.

 

Unfortunately, as noted, I had a catastrophic backup-less loss of the working files for the stuff I had CONs for already, o fixing small stuff may be impossible (unless people know ways to “unpack” the con to its constituent parts?)

[a2dmusic]

I had this error too (just today)… and there is nothing in my EVENTS track at the measure with the issue.

 

That said, it fixed itself when I re-Exported the midi from Reaper. Go fig!

[a2dmusic]

That didn’t reveal anything but I found a fix — once I have the WAV converted from ogg, render it again (not convert it with a file converter, but use a DAW render process, e.g. Reaper). It remakes the WAV from its audio contents, not from its contents+metadata like a file converter does. Net effect, a file Magma likes!

[a2dmusic]

Have you read the C3 customs tutorial? The audio files need specific settings. From the guide:

 

 

Although I’m not really sure if different settings throw Magma errors…

 

Yeah, Magma actually throws a different error if your files are the wrong bit rate or frequency (I’ve already had that happen when I was inattentive). The nice thing about those errors is they actually tell you why Magma is rejecting the file (something like “File is not 44 or 48 KHz” or whatever).

 

This is… seemingly something else. And rare enough no one had an instant for-sure answer… I may just have to see if I can track down a different source file, but I hope not because I don’t know that I will be able to!

[a2dmusic]

Yeah, the way the documentation is worded is not quite right. 126 is used for a roll/swell on one pad, 127 for a roll/swell on two pads. 126 can be used with any non-kick gem (snare, tom or cymbal), 127 can be used with any pair of non-kick gems as long as they are different colors.

 

Awesome, thanks! Time to dive back into the file…

[a2dmusic]

As for the lyrics importation, you need to setup the shortcut in the action menu of the piano roll window.

 

Oh my god I wish this had been documented a little more clearly… I was going mad there for about an hour
