Late to say so, but more ’80s metal is always welcome.  Thank you!

Hope you enjoy my charts! Classic Priest is best Priest ^^

Radar Love, by White Lion

Hello, guys! Hope you’re well. I’m back with more 80s, this time with a total classic.

In the OP you’ll find the RB3 version, including the 2x version, and the 1x chart for Rock Band 2. You know the drill: if you find any issues, please let me know, and I’ll mail you some Rock Band dollars. I hope you enjoy the track! ” data-emoticon=”” src=”/emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” title=”” />

just curious but is that because you can’t find a working rb3 copy?

Well, in part yes. But I kinda enjoy RB2 a bit more as well.

One more thing you could try is removing the less accentuated snare gems before the accents so the player would recognize them. HMX did this a lot; I remember the fills in “Highway Star”, that “Misery Business” drum break, and probably “Aqualung”. I’m personally not very fond of that, but perhaps that works for you ” data-emoticon=”” src=”/emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” title=”” />

Okay, uhm, hello.

Well, it seems that you got the rhythm handled during the chorus, the right hand is playing correctly and so is the snare. You are missing some hi-hat notes that are clearly audible when the drummer does those little snare fills in the choruses, so you should check that.

But I also checked the rest of your chart, and there are some bad practices here that while do not make the song unplayable, it hurts the experience. For instance, it’s a general rule of thumb that all hi-hat notes are charted yellow, so I’d move the blue gems in the chorus to yellow, and the open hi-hat gems to blue (this last one is up to the author).

Also, during the verse, you are charting yellow gems that doesn’t exist during the upbeats. These have to go. Another rule of thumb is that authors must chart what is heard in order to make players feel like they’re actually playing the song and not just arbitrary notes. This rule can be broken when there is very technical drumming going on, but this doesn’t seem to be the case

The docs are not something C3 put together, they were written (mostly) by Harmonix. They’re standards and nothing more. As such, authors are to follow those standards. You don’t even have to read all of them at once, go through each of them as you chart each of the song’s elements.

RB2:

Best: “Painkiller”, but that’s just extremely bias from me.

Worst: I hate to play “De-Luxe”. Like, I really don’t have a good time playing the song.

Underrated: I’d probably say “Teen Age Riot”. Not quite difficult, but it definitely took me by surprise

GH: WoR

Best: “Sudden Death”, by far. 

Worst: “Bleed it Out”, because Linkin’ Park generally is a hit-or-miss for me.

Underrated: Maybe I should socialize more, but I feel that “Chemical Warfare” doesn’t get the difficulty recognition it should.

Thanks! So I converted some songs, and I have some logs if you wanna see them. Do you mind if I PM you some songs?

Sure, maybe I can help

Hey, so I got the Rock Band 2 custom to work using the RB3 customs. As I click on the song it gets stuck on the loading screen before I get a chance to play. I used Onyx btw.

 

Edit: The song will play in Practice Mode, but I wanna try getting it to play in Quickplay as well.

Last time I had that issue, I tried many things, including passing it through Onyx again, where the log showed that there was an error in one of the tracks (if I remember correctly, a note after the [end] event). AFAIK, if Magma v1 fails, Onyx “bypasses it optimistically”, so sometimes, critical errors can make their way to RB2.

I’d recommend taking a look at the log during the convesion, you might find something there.

I think another question that could be asked and may have been discussed before is how many people play with fills turned on?

I play all customs on Rock Band 2, so I really don’t have much of a choice. 

[Jack Tyler Rourke]

I agree with Shroud, arbitrarily removing notes, especially if they are clearly audible, is generally not a good idea. I’ve done it, and the results have never satisfied me. 

With that said, you should still make the part feel good, or at the bare minimum playable. You mention that the drum kick feels out of place after the section, have you considered removing the fill altogether?

Personally, I’d leave the fill and the kick, since that was the intention of the drummer (most likely).

Oh sick, Freewheel Burning

I’d love to hear your feedback, man ” data-emoticon=”” src=”/emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” title=”” />

[Jack Tyler Rourke]

Hey there, brother. I’m here to shamelessly promote my customs repository. You can find “Freewheel Burning” (and other songs) there, since I’m yet to upload it to the C3 database and I would really appreciate the feedback.

In regards to White Lion’s cover of “Radar Love”, are you using the cover audio from GH80s or the real audio?

I’m using the real audio

 

Edit: Now that I read my post, I guess where the confusion comes from, my bad

The database is up and running as far as uploading songs which is all you really need as far as basic functionality.. Currently there’s no reason not to use it to upload songs for the 10th anniversary (or any other release). ” data-emoticon=”” src=”/emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” title=”” />

Hey, Banshee, any news on the Token log in situation?

I didn’t. And can’t. And no one is really forthcoming with what to do now since they are currently working on it. As far as I can tell, it’s a waiting game unless you somehow had logged your token from the old profile. I didn’t think I needed to and now cannot login because I don’t have it. Ah well, my songs will always be on YouTube for download and pretty much the reason I don’t host them on C3. I don’t necessarily need them here.

Oh, apologies, my bad. Yeah, now we wait. Don’t think it would be too long, but since I actually upload them here, I hope I’ll be the first one lol. Thanks for your response
