November 17, 2020 at 11:59 pm in reply to: The Long-Awaited Dr. Nekronimus Release Thread That Nobody Was Actually Waiting For (Updated 11/17/20) #515073
Update for 11/17/20:
Added a new song from one of my favorite groups of all time, Death Grips! I know a lot of their material may not be suited for the Rock Band format as much as other artists, but I still think it worked out nicely for this song!
The track in question is Known For It, the 11th track off their debut mixtape ‘Exmilitary’ (although if you want to get technical, it actually debuted on the ‘Death Grips’ EP). Formed around a keyboard sample from the old animated short “Quest: A Long Ray’s Journey Into Light”, and even including a chopped up portion of the bassline from Magma’s ‘De Futura’ in the verses, this track is a lot more groove-oriented than other Death Grips tracks. The drums in the song are fairly basic in the verses, but be prepared for some tricky double bass hits in the choruses!
Hope you have fun playing it, and I’ll see you guys for the next update!
Update 11/13/20
- Cough Syrup is ready to go!
After playtesting Cough Syrup for a while, I think I’ve ironed out all of the problems I saw with the chart from my first go-around. I am planning to make a new “released” thread over in Custom Song Discussion so that this thread will be solely for future chart ideas from here on out. As for Known For It, it has been a while since I’ve taken a good look at the chart, so that may be my next big priority so I can get that transferred to the new thread.
Be on the lookout for my release thread, and stay legend everyone.
Update 11/9/20
- Moved a song (Lexicon Devil) from Future Ideas to Already Started
- Changed status of Call Ticketron’s progress
- Moved a song (Cough Syrup) from Already Started to Playtesting!
Hey everyone! I know it’s taken me another month to get this far, but I managed to get into the playtesting phase of yet another custom. This time, it’s the Butthole Surfers’ Cough Syrup. You can find a link to it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18VdwF94Rpr_43tGVwahk2hAmIItSj6mI/view?usp=sharing
This custom took me the longest time to reach the playtesting stage by far, and I would appreciate any feedback since this is only my third custom. There are definitely some spots that I plan on tweaking later (mostly in the bass part), so stay tuned for another update on that. The album art may look a little strange as well (it looked a little blocky(?) on my Wii U), although I will try to fix it to the best of my ability.
Anyway, hope you guys enjoy, and stay legend.
Update 10/1/2020 (Whew, this thread was dusty):
- Added a song (Lexicon Devil) to the Future Ideas list.
- Took 2 songs (Secret Agent Man and Cough Syrup) out of Future Ideas and into Already Started. Also added brief descriptions on the progress of certain songs.
So yeah, I’ve been away for a while. But, I am trying to get back into the swing of things slowly but surely. As you can see, I’ve already started two more songs that were in my Futures Ideas list. While Cough Syrup is still in a very early stage at the moment, I have already charted most of the Keys and a few portions of the other instruments for Secret Agent Man, so be on the lookout for it!
Thank you, and stay legend.
Update 7/19/2020:
- Took out Known For It from the Started category and placed it into Playtesting.
If anyone sees any obvious problems with Known For It, be sure to let me know. I am still new to this whole thing after all.
Also, there are no vocals for the time being since I don’t exactly feel comfortable doing them just yet. Stay tuned for any updates though.
Update 7/14/2020:
- Reworded the OP
- Added 3 Devo songs (Blockhead, Secret Agent Man, and The Day My Baby Gave Me A Surprize) to the Future Ideas list
- Took Fashionista out of Playtesting and into its Initial Release!
When I was playtesting Fashionista, a lot of the notes felt off, so I pulled it up in Reaper and I’m pretty sure your backing track is misaligned by about an eight of a beat. I’d go and make sure your downbeat is actually falling in line with the grid. It was making the fast hammered guitar part impossible for me to play.
When you say “backing track”, do you mean the song audio, the beat track, or the tempo map? I playtested the song on both my Wii U and CH and it didn’t seem offset to me. Double checked REAPER and the audio seems to be snapped properly and the beat track looks fine. Could you show a picture or something to explain this further?
On your drum part, I noticed you have the clap charted to to red gem, which is usually reserved for snares. If it were me, I might change the claps to a vocal percussion section and have the drum part just be the kick + hat triplets. That way you can really focus on making an interesting rhythm part based around alternating yellow and blue cymbal gems. Just my opinion, though.
On that note, it seems like the drum part is only about half-finished? I feel like there’s meant to be the hat triplets going throughout the song, but they cut out about a third of the way through.
The claps serve the same purpose a snare normally would, right? At least that’s what I intended.
I’m assuming you’re referring to the “verses” where the hats cut out? I wasn’t too sure about what to do for those parts. If I charted them literally (basically transferring the notes from my original project file to the RB format), I feel like the closed hats would have seemed too awkward to play since some notes overlap. It just made more sense to keep it as an open hat/clap pattern, but I could be wrong of course.
Update 7/11/2020:
Added a song to the started list (Call Ticketron), added a song (Cough Syrup) to the future ideas list, took one song out
Is it just me, or is the link to Where the Lines Overlap broken?
Anyway, another exciting release! Huge thank you to everyone!
This is incredible, good job to everyone who contributed!
I do think that Open Your Eyes has a problem with it, though. It’s downloading as a .dms file and it’s giving me an error with the converter.
