Is there a video tutorial or any kind of tutorial out there?

[Coldplayer]

Hey there.

I'm not an audio pro, I just record some songs with Cubase and I'm not sure if I will ever create RBN tracks but I just would like to see how it works. I downloaded all the programs and even the sample song but I can't even see how the charts will look in the game. (In a video I saw a preview window where you can see the chart just like you see it in the RB game)

Anyway, I can't find a guide to create Rockband tracks anywhere. A Vid Tutorial would be awesome. I guess there are some out there for Reaper but a real tutorial on how to use The RB Plugin and Magma and everything? There must be something like that somehow. Can't imagine all you people figuring everything out by yourselves?

Really, just some kind of Step to Step Guide to create a Rockband track in Reaper and Magma?

So, no tutorials?? How do you guys know how to create the charts?

Why, the documentation of course!

Start here, in the "Creating Songs" section:

Well, thanks, but I've seen this and it looks more like a site with some tipps but not really a guide on how to create the charts. That's what I was looking for.

Did you download the sample of "The Future Soon" that's available at http://creators.rockband.com/tools/download ? The documentation assumes you already have an understanding of Reaper or digital audio workstations in general. If you don't, looking at the sample song is a great way to start!

Yeah, I have experience with Cubase and I also downloaded the sample song, but I could not really find out how to for example take a look at the charts. (well you can kinda see them when you double click on the layer but I thought there would be a video of some kind to see how it will look in Rockband)

I don't know but I think a step to step guide should be made. Can't believe there isn't one.

If you download Reaper and the sample track, it's actually generally self-explanatory.

Maybe for those who are experts in Reaper.
Anyway, maybe someone can at least answer me this question: In one of the few RBN videos I saw a small preview window in Reaper that shows how everything looks in Rockband. Know what I mean?

Can anyone tell me how I open that window in the sample song?

And ... I still think a tutorial should be made.

There is a thread asking that exact question still on the first page of this section.

Hmm... I wonder how well-received a video of a song would be if the lyrics explained everything that was happening in the MIDI file as it happened just for this purpose, like a demo of each post-proc video, light cues, directed cams, etc.
