if i remember correctly, there is a forum topic around, not sure if under WIP, with vocals only customs.

 

as mentioned before, you should be able to upload to the database or create a topic with your customs, as long as they are not official content, i.e. DLC or anything from HMX’s RB games…

 

Saludos!

Thank you both very much! Again, I had no clue/idea. And it’s great to know. I’ll get right on it then!

[Datgamer14]

you can upload whatever you like. you’ll find plenty of drums only, guitar only charts in the database

Thank you. I was just curious is all. I figured either way I’d be breaking the rules

 

1, by uploading it, and possibly being told that it needs more

or

2, making a forum topic about it, and it being shut down by a mod

 

So I figured I’d get talked to about it either way, thank you again

[Datgamer14]

Nevermind, I’ve actually figured it all out, and have finally made the actual song all the way to the end

 

I actually just drew the rest of the beats one at a time by myself, and fixed all the other errors Magma told me.

 

I got to the end, and it told me that the song was made! So I guess I’m done here for now.

Just double click on the beat track to bring up the midi editor. Then copy what’s there so that you can extend it to the [end] event.

It will not let me copy whats on the Beat track down to the editor, I get the option to copy everything on the Beat track itself, but I can not paste anything down to the Midi Editor whatsoever after trying to copy.

 

I apologize if it seems like I’m trying to test your patience, that’s certainly not the case.

[Datgamer14]

No you need the beat track to start at 1.1.00. Then open up the beat track and hilight all of the notes in it. Basically chart the beat track like you would the vocal track.

The beat notes are definitely starting at 1.1.00, as I have it in that picture.

 

By beat track, is that completely different than the midi editor? Cause I had that open in my last picture. If not, is there a quick button combination/ menu way to open it?

[Datgamer14]

Use the mouse to hilight all of the gems, then hit “CTRL+C”. After that go to where the gems end and hit “CTRL+V” to paste them.

You mean the gems in the Vocals track? Or in the midi editor? Cause there’s actually none down there. If you mean the gems, you mean paste them together like what I did here from the Vocals track?(I cant grab the actual gems up there for some reason);

No you will need to copy and paste it to extend it. Just make sure each measure looks like the one before.

Alright, so that’s what my Beat thing looks like right now.

 

How would I go about copying it and pasting it? There are no events at the bottom that resemble the ones up top, and trying to copy and paste the thing up top, makes the song time double for some reason.

[Datgamer14]

Yeah those are all the errors. Just zoom into the measures where Magma says those errors are to see what it is talking about.

I understand, and I’m actually having an easy time fixing them too.

 

About the BEAT track, how would I go about extending it to the end event? Just drag it over?

[Datgamer14]

Magma also said there were some bad notes (meaning excess midi notes in places they didn’t need to be). Just look at any more errors that Magma gives you and they should be pretty straightforward, but feel free to post any more questions/errors.

You have no idea how much of a help you’ve been to me. No idea. Very kind thank you so much.

So I’m guessing those are the errors that i really only need to fix, right?

[Datgamer14]

I am getting many errors with your project, and many are just about lyric/phrase misalignment. The [end] event in your EVENTS track is well before you want it to be! The [end] event is about halfway through the song, whereas you want it somewhere after measure 120.

Are you serious? I figured I got them all right, it’s a fast talking song, and I figured I needed the phrases close together, They didn’t even look un-aligned when I went over them. Goodness.

 

And oh my gosh. I just checked, and realized you’re right. It’s defintely at the end. I don’t know how that happened in the slightest, but it’s fixed. Was everything else ok?

[Datgamer14]

Mute all except Part Vocals, the audio, Beat, Venue, Events, and Count In. Open up the Beats and the Events. Where ever the end event is, delete the beat notes on and after the end event.

 

P.S. The end event goes in the Events track, not in the vocals.

 

Hope this helps a little.

I didn’t know that at all. Goodness. Alright, I’ll do it right now.

 

The beats track should have beats markers all the way up to, but not including, the [end] event. I can’t really tell from your chart where they stop, but I could take a look at it if you like to see if I can find out why Magma is spitting out these errors.

 

Oh you mean the actual project? Yes please. Of course, here’s the actual Reaper Project, and the song;

For the first error, my guess is you have too many notes in the BEATS track (there can’t be any beats after or on the [end] event in the EVENTS track).

 

The second error means that you still have the VOCALS track muted. It must be unmuted before exporting the midi. If you don’t want to hear the midi notes when you play the track, you can always click the power icon right to the left of “FX” so that the track is not muted, but it won’t make any sounds either.

Regarding the beats track;

It ends right before the end event down below, Do I need to take the Beats track and manually move it back some?

 

And as for vocals being muted;

I’ve tried exporting with all of those unmuted, unfortunately, I still get the same error of that authoring.

 

I’m really appreciating you trying to help me.

[Datgamer14]

First off, I don’t think instrument tracks need any [end] or [start] commands.

Secondly, I would check to make sure that the “PART VOCALS” event is of type “Track name” and that it is located at measure 1.1.00.

Lastly, and I think this is the issue, make sure none of the instrument tracks are muted in Reaper when you export the midi file.

I did not know that. Would taking them out make a big difference?

I do have a part vocals event actually! Right here; http://i.imgur.com/xo8o92T.png

As for that muted part. That was what was doing it. I had bass guitar and drums muted. Didn’t think that mattered. But that got rid of the None of the Parts found error!

 

But now I get this error actually;

For reference, here is my end section, as you can see, there’s nothing after the midi end event;

As for the second error, is it talking about putting in a specific event that’s the title of the song?

[Datgamer14]

There should be a grey line at (or near) the bottom of the screen, drag that line up and there you go.

And that did it. Apparently it was this little section of grey dots at the bottom left. I got it now. Thanks a lot for your help.

[Datgamer14]

You have shrunk the text events window portion, reload the unedited C3 template to see where it is.

Reloaded it back up, and that’s the unedited C3 template

 

Where would the portion be?
