How to make a rba/rb3con file from a mid file

Hey guys! I just bought a new drum kit and really want to get back into Rock Band. It's been prolly 2 years since Ive been active. Anyways, I really want to get some RB3 customs. I've done it before, but always just had the .rb3con.

I have searched thru the forum, and everyone posting their custom songs, only distributes the .mid file. I know that it is against the rules to post rba and rb3con files and I'm fine with that. I just really want to know what to do with that .mid file. There doesn't seem to be a guide to how to create an rba/rb3con file anywhere? And I'm just stuck before I even begin. If anyone has a link, or could spare a couple minutes for instrucitons I will greatly appreciate it!

If it's just the .mid file, you need to use Magma to build your own RBA, essentially, and then use one of the tools out there (RB3Maker is a good one) to convert it to a CON.

If it's an RB3Maker zip file containing the .mid, you just need to get your source audio/album art and then RB3Maker will do the rest.

Thanks bud I appreciate the help. Unfortunatly I just realized I DONT have the original disk, and I have a stupid MadCatz re-release one. That means no customs right? I can still delete TU5 and everything, but I haven't loaded a custom in yet. I guess its off the Gamestop to test out all their copies of RB3?
