You know, you can quickly copy notes by selecting them and holding ctrl and dragging, right? And you can copy and paste notes with ctrl-c and ctrl-v. And you can copy entire sections down from one...

It looks like you either have one stereo drum stem, or you forgot to include all of your drum stems in the Audio tab in Magma. If you do only have one stereo drum stem, you want to use "mix drums0",...

Yes and yes.

The student XNA membership does not include the ability to submit songs for peer review (which leads to it going into the RBN store for people to buy). But you could use that to make sure your...

If you're desperate, you could try recording your own dry vocals track. It is not built into the RBA file and will not be heard in game, it's just used for scoring, weighting, and lip syncing.

You can adjust the midi synth in Reaper to match the singer. Click the FX button for the vocals midi track and select VSTi: ReaSynth (****os), there is a Tuning slider that gives you the ability to...

I wouldn't worry too much about it if it takes longer than an hour to author a part. In fact, it's probably better to spend more time with it; the quality will most likely be much better if you...

I have a confirmed report of someone with a trial membership being able to access Audition mode in RB2, so I know that much works.

The student thing gives you a trial membership, see http://creators.xna.com/en-US/membership

I would imagine that creators.rockband.com will follow the same membership privileges as...

You can use it to audition, but I'm pretty certain you won't be able to peer review or submit songs.

From reaper.fm/purchase.php:

There is going to be plenty of metal in RBN. Maybe not the particular metal that you're looking for, but with the playable demo that is coming with RBN (you can download the song play 35% of the...

You don't need it to create charts, but you would need it to actually test them on the xbox.

You're on the right track. You can have up to three tracks for drums, one track for guitar, one track for bass, two for vocals (one without any effects applied), and one track with everything else...

I'm pretty sure it's just one at a time

I feel the frustration too. I don't see what the harm would be to make the wiki available with a great big disclaimer that the documentation is a work in progress and subject to change and that the...
