I tried messaging you but not sure if you saw. None of your links for Bad Omen’s tracks from FGBGFM work and give XML errors.

thank you

Awesome to see another full album completed!  I definitely don’t have the endurance to make it through on drums without my arms falling off though.

I had never heard them before this release, and it took me exactly this long to get You Are Invited to get out of my head.

I also had never heard of them before a few weeks ago but have been enjoying it.  Very unique and fun to play.  Thanks again for bumping this!

Bless all of you working on this project.  I’ve been religiously refreshing this site daily to check on the status.  😁

Pretty good news for the future of this game.  I have no intentions of getting a new Xbox but I was always super disappointed with the original Xbox One performance and load times in general.  My original 360 cold boots into RB3 with twice as many songs in less than half the time and also has far less latency when playing.  

Sounds like the next thing they need to do is produce some more instruments to get new people back into the game.

Haven’t heard that one before but now I’m definitely gonna use it

I started playing Guitar Hero 2 and 3 and when I got Rockband 1 back on release I didn’t really care about drums. However after a few months I found myself gravitate toward the drums and fell in love with how challenging and rewarding it felt to nail songs. I eventually got the Ion drums around Rockband 2 (before pro drums) and tried to play as accurately as I could. Once RB3 came out with support for the pro drums it already felt natural.

 

Since then I find myself appreciating drums in music far more than I probably ever would have. I wish I could go back in time and tell the younger me to get into drums. I honestly only purchased an Xbox One to get RB4 (even though it’s arguable worse than RB3) just so that I could continue to play online with people and made friends with strangers who also had the passion to purchase way too many songs.

 

I have discovered a myriad of bands/tracks that I probably wouldn’t have appreciated as much without playing these games. To this day I can’t believe I haven’t stopped loving this game. I unfortunately went almost a year and a half without getting to play drums since I had moved to a smaller place thousands of miles away (and only brought my RB4 and guitar) and the first thing I did when I moved back home during this covid fiasco was get back on my busted old Ion set.

 

I’m very thankful that this site continues to exist along with all the dedicated charters. I was inspired to finally attempt charting myself this year and hopefully I will continue to do so for a long time. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif” />

Yeah I love mewithoutYou! Rickie is one of my all time favorite drummers. Never feels repetitive and compliments the emotion of their songs so well.

 

I was the one who “broke the cherry” on here by adding Julia last week. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif” />

That was the first chart I’ve attempted. What a coincidence that no one has added anything by them until we both started charting. I haven’t dared to attempt anything more complicated just yet. However, even on that simple track I still managed to make a couple of mistakes on the drum chart. I’m going to update it soon to fix some mistakes and add animations, overdrive, etc.

 

Good luck!

I got chills when I saw what song you were talking about.

 

I’m not a real drummer so I don’t really have an ear for it and I know you said you already looked at some live stuff but this video gave me a pretty good idea of what he’s doing since the camera is on him (at least something to go off of). all ghost notes on left with mostly floor tom on right? Hard to say how much you can accurately chart of that without making it awkward to play.

[GoodGooglyMoogly]

It’s hard to say since difficulties are subjective and sometimes based on the artist’s other songs (at least in my opinion).

 

I’d say the first one is a 3, second one a 2, and the third one probably still a 2.

[GoodGooglyMoogly]

Ah, I see the option for silent tracks in magma – I kind of forgot that was an option after reading so many documents. I went ahead and shortened it as well I just need to give it another test!

 

Thanks for the tip as well rubydanger. So I guess I can move that [music_end] a little bit earlier than when the track goes completely silent.

[GoodGooglyMoogly]

Thanks Echo!

 

I rendered the audio with the song track muted to make a silent version and applied it to the drum kit and crowd and that sounds like it worked. I must have also had the count-in muted the first time I rendered the main audio because I tried it again with it not muted and now I can hear the count-in. Just tested and I believe I fixed both of those issues.

 

I do have another question about shortening the track. I might not mess with it right now since I’m happy it’s working but at some point I might want to adjust where it ends. I kind of just messed with the “end” marker until I made magma happy but I’m not positive I did it correctly. You can see in the image below that I had to drag the Events out slightly past all of the other tracks. Does this look alright?

 

I think I’d like to end at 61.1.00 instead as anything past that is silent.

Would I just drag the song audio back to 61.1.00 and all of the other tracks to 61.1.00 but leave the events track pushed out just slightly past like I did? (+ re-render audio tracks)

TheFrisk you just made my day man! The songs I would like to see the most would probably be The Webs We Weave, Situations, The Guillotine, Reverse This Curse, and Theres No Symphony for the Dead. Would love to play these on the drums and rock out! Thank you so much for helping me out man!

 

I fully agree with everything you just said but have never thought to ask. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

 

TheFrisk you are awesome my dude!

The Twitch link in the first post of this thread still works. Which forum post are you referring to?

That’s strange the links are working for me again now.. I promise I tried multiple times and it keep giving strange messages as if the video had since been removed. Disregard that!

[GoodGooglyMoogly]

Sounds great to me man. I’m all for restoring/reusing what would be junk. Plus it’s not like there are any premium rock band guitars available out there anyways – they’re all very light and cheaply made. What type of guitar is it? Are you going to use the guitar hero frets then or custom?

 

Keep us posted!
