Don't be discouraged by haters to get your song into RB.

[atalkingfish]

"Key lesson from working on the RBN: if you are an artist, there is someone out there who will love what you create. You may have to go looking for them, and you may trip over a lot of people who don't like your creations along the way, and some of them won't be particularly nice about it. But there is an audience for you, and you will make their day/week/month/year when they find you."

I knew you were pretentious.

The only "music" I objected to was that noise stuff. No, literally noise. It was disturbing to think someone could enjoy that stuff.

Anything else I don't mind. There's no way I'd hate on someone getting in their music to RB.

I enjoy noise.
Problem?

Well, if you hated that, then you would have loved this.

Strange, I usually disturb people for other reasons.

Oh yeah. Wasn't there something you put out that could easily be called noise?

Nononono. I'm talking about that one dude that made a thread about him bringing his music to the RBN. He mentioned that he knew people would hate on it, but it's what he enjoyed blah blah blah and it was literally nothing but noise. I'd get the same effect from just simply scratching my nails onto a chalkboard for 3 and a half minutes and calling it a song.

I'd buy that for a dollar.

Me too. Putting that song in Rock Band makes the exact same statement as including the song on a CD or in a concert, and I really do enjoy the idea.

As for noise, I guess it depends on the noise. Ambient noise can be quite pleasant. :P

Ambiance is one thing, this "music" was loud, ear-splitting and just plain disturbing. A bunch of "QERRRRRRRRRRRRR!" and "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOEAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!".

No substance or thought process, just pure noise. I can accept "noise" if there's at least some sort of consistency, melody, rhythm, SOMETHING.

Bah. I wasn't going to be able to say it any better now than I did then - and I didn't feel like having anyone calling me on my unattributed repetition.

I would have just attributed it to some random name, made it feel more authentic. Like, "you should work very hard on your songs in the Rock Band Network, they are nothing to be scoffed at. And if you don't believe me, you should know that Abraham Lincoln said almost the exact same thing..."
