And a favour to ask. I've charted Taking Back Sunday - MakeDamnSure but it goes out of sync within the first verse. If anyone wants to download and see why then feel free, it's driving me mad. I've opened both Legacy and Pro side by side in EOF but cant see any difference.

Guitar Pro Customs
All files included from the RBA except the ogg, Pro Con File is included. Add 4 seconds silence to the start of your ogg. (Legacy isnt charted, just copied from Pro to create the files)

NEW
Lower Than Atlantis - Beech Like The Tree http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHtJb-RFyQc
Beech RBA Files & Upgrade Con.rar - 1.7 MB


Anyone tried any of these yet? suggestions??



Aswell as doing Pro Upgrades im getting started on Pro Customs but have a couple of questions...
Do i have to create an .rba with Legacy mode first to get all the necessary files from Magma? And then do i have to do the Pro Upgrade Mid seperately or can i chart directly into the original Mid?

Magma will refuse to complete building an RBA file with a MIDI that has pro guitar or pro bass, but it will error check up to that point. To get an RBA, you just need to author regular legacy instruments, following the specifications of the Rock Band Network documentation. Many of the requirements are documented, such as any gem color that's used in one difficulty must be used in the other difficulties for that instrument. Some, however, may be unknown yet likely, such as whether you must author guitar in order to pair it with a pro guitar upgrade later.

Overall, if possible, it's best to make an RBA file and then make the MIDI file with the pro guitar/bass separate. This allows you to take advantage of having perfectly working artwork, audio staying synced during pauses, etc.

Ok ta, i'll get testing and see what i can get away with, cus realistically i'm only interested in Pro Guitar now.
If i can do legacy as 1 Note Charts to get it through Magma then that will suffice, tho it'll mean i wont have any animations i guess. As i haven't got the fastest fingers then its not something i get time to watch anyway

Edit - Had some success. I created a 1 note legacy chart and about 50% complete pro custom and it plays fine. May have to go back and do note markers if i want to create sections i suppose, but at the moment its good to know all the hard work can go into the pro side.

To be honest i thought it would have taken off more than it has aswell now practically anyone can do this.
Glad you like the charts, i know theres cosmetic issues with the early ones so im hoping to go back and update them.
im not a great guitarist by any stretch so i tend to only choose songs i personally enjoy. And i must admit i can't play a couple of my own songs so im relying on others feedback.

This one is corrupt in the Ziggy pack and the original link is broke. Can someone put up the correct pro with a link?
