Song Choices, Your Opinions

Magma won't auto-generate the venue track if there is already data present in the track. Unless you mean that you auto-generated first, then went back and added some directed cuts.

Rest of the song looked good to me, I didn't scrutinize the other tracks but I didn't notice any glaringly obvious mistakes either.

Yup.

EDIT: I've already received some good feedback on youtube, and I realize that apparently the charts would flat out fail peer review at this point. I dove into this head first with no knowledge of the programs or the charting process. My intention is to learn something new, so the more help I can get, the better.

I took your advice. Here's a new preview vid, now with 100% more guitar and vocals!

I haven't done anything with the venue track but adding sing alongs, so don't mind that just yet.

Cool. Seems like the guitar chart needs some work, but it looks like it's getting there. Maybe it would help if you asked the composer for tabs? I'm not much of a guitarist, so I can't really help you much there.

One last thing with the drums though; You still have the drummer animation hitting the ride during the chorus, when he should be hitting the hi-hat.

Work on this is on hold at the moment. The re-record for "Tell Me Why" is done though. It's a bit faster, apparently CJ slowed down the project originally in 2000, but forgot to this time around when he based it off his original midis. He'll probably re-record the vocals again.

JPSChampagne, I know you're interested in this song, what do you think?

Opps. Thanks.

It's a little different flavor than the original. The increased volume of the drums really puts a lot more light on them - when they are far from the best part of the song. In fact, they're really badly repetitive. Giving them more emphasis like that doesn't do the song any favors.

But I like the guitar better in this version. Has a warmer sound. I also like those weird harmonies better in this version as well. I think it's a more mature take on the song and sounds quite a bit more professional. I think it would sound much more fitting on Rock Band than the original would have.

Sorry I was so long to respond, by the way, I've been hooked on Lego Rock Band and I haven't been on the forums as much. Haha

No problem and thanks for the input! I've been hooked on Lego Rock Band too

That's a good note about the drums. I think I'll put a little less emphasis on them in the mix for the game when I get a hold of the masters. Glad you like the other aspects of the re-record.

Right now (when I rarely do get a chance to work on RBN stuff) I'm redoing the vocal chart for Leave Me Alone. The guitar also still needs a lot of work and I haven't even begun overdrive and the other difficulties.

I'll update this thread with anything new.
