That authoring Group is looking for authors!

That'd be a dream come true! Unfortunately I have no idea how to chart, otherwise I'd be all over this.

Look over this and check back with us in a month or two once you get a handle on it.

it has me really excited, the list includes one of the song I've wanted to drum along to in RB since the game came out, its hard to not just scream in excitement =D.

If it's "Wipeout" by the Safaris (I haven't been able to get to that list yet), then I can say I am OK with this. Even though I came this close *pinches fingers* to getting that song before they stopped replying.

Yeah, what's in the list? Hopefully Mayday Parade and Sugarcult!

Gotta get hired to find out... because I know I ain't revealin' nothin'.

[crash13]

I sent an email a while ago, so I guess I might find out soon anyway

we're currently working with fearless... so thats definitely not the accouncement.


the song is pretty heavy, easily devils across g/b/d, and will probably have one of the top 5 double bass speed sections actually done by a human.

and has too many fills to count

Please... the teasing makes my wait to see the list hurt more...

Do authors get to choose the songs they chart? Because if I decided to apply, and then was stuck charting metal, which I despise (personal opinion, no criticism toward fans), I'd jump off a roof,

Well, yes, you do get to choose the songs you work on. However, be aware that a LOT of our label partners tend towards the heavier music, so while we strive for variety in genres as much as we can, sometimes the majority of our tracks are metal.

Also, be aware that while we allow TAG members to pick the parts they work on, it's sort of assumed that when a track really needs to get done, and there are parts nobody has signed up for, we all have a responsibility to pitch in, even if it's not something we're really passionate about authoring.


Hopefully that answers your questions.

TL;DR: You can choose not to chart metal, but you'll be missing out on a lot of work, and you may feel obligated to at some point anyway.

but if i give it away, then the entire list might get leaked, and that consists of 26 bands.

do you know how many people would get upset if I leak 26 bands who will make their first appearance on RB only to have the label back out at the last minute? too many :\
