So this is basically like the song creator in GH4 but 10x better.

[Vedicardi]

they are completely different thing.

one makes midi songs, the other allows you to put original REAL songs into a game

The concept is similar in that it allows users that are not developers at HMX to develop song charts and distribute them online. I think the similarities end there, though. The RBN is ridiculously deeper than the GHWT song creator.

Except it isn't as widely usable, isn't open for free to anybody who has the game, and is probably temporarily nothing more than occasional extra DLC to PS3 and Wii users.

That being said, it's a really great idea, and I hope it makes its way to other consoles and countries completely.

Well if you go the Rhythm Authors direction it is free... They do all the work and the only thing you would pay is to get the track recorded correctly.

Yeah this is really not like the song creator in GH4 at all. Completely different.

[Ferocious Q]

RBN is more like ITUNES in a creative sense. GHWT's music "maker" involves a very small set of prerecorded noises to self-edit. The latter is far from creative.

Conceptually they are both about user-generated content. But the methods of implementation are vastly different.

They are as closely related as lightning is to a lightning bug.

[General Lein979]

It's the answer the same problem, but different solutions. The problem is that people like making custom songs and their is only so much dlc we can release at a time.

GH answer is lets give them the ability to make the songs on disc with prerecorded sounds and mash them together to make a song. Positives: Tech is on disc, anyone can do it, and songs are free. Negatives: Songs sound like ringtones.

Harmonix's is lets give them the ability to put their own songs in the game made with real instruments using the same ramifications and tech they use. Positives: actual songs and can make an indie band gain more fans. Negatives: Cost, buy the tech, musical talent, ability to understand what your doing when you chart, and not anything goes.

So what I'm trying to say the two things are very different and are not comparable.

Way better, I really don't like gh4 though

[guarf1]

It will be completely different from GH4's music studio. First of all It won't be free. If you go to http://creators.rockband.com/ and look under the Review tab you will see in small print that it says that a membership will be $99/year. Secondly you will have to own the rights to the track, so you can't just download someones song and use it. It will also have to be approved by the community or the song won't be released. It will only be for Xbox Live and only select songs will be available for the PS3.

What do you think makes it 10x better? The fact that we don't make our own music and steal someone else's just to chart 'em?
