I was burned out on poni poni errday so I decided to do this song from my childhood. Took forever and I'm STILL working on it. Those drums are WAY more complex than I thought. Will return to EqG now that I'm done with this.

Since the video, I've simplified the vocals significantly since they were too complex and nuanced for anyone to realistically sing them. I'm still finishing up the lower difficulties and rebalancing overdrive a bit, so it'll be a while until I get this out. I might even put it down for now and get back to it later. And yes I fixed that missing lyric glitch. If you comment about it I will find out where you live and kidnap your dog.
-== DEVELOPER'S NOTES ==-
Did something unique with the venue in this one by setting all the camera angles to focus on the pianist instead of the vocalist (if keys is active), which meant screwing around with camera take priority for the first time so that it would show the vocalist singing if there's no keyboard.
Then I realized all of my hard work would go to waste (at least in the video) because the pianist doesn't even appear on stage in All Instruments Mode. Was so proud of how it looked that I was all like "buck the police" and used it as an opportunity to experiment with some video editing.
Recorded about four takes of JUST the venue track in Performance Mode, twice with Keys and Bass, and twice more with Keys and Guitar, then used a lil' multicam editing to choose the best camera angles. Then I did a recording of just the gameplay on black in All Instruments Mode, spent an hour keying/masking out all of the black in After Effects, and overlaid the gameplay on top of the revised venue track so that it looked like a typical recording.
Yeah. Too much work.

The fact you got the keyboard player mostly singing the song is amazing I wish we had that option for certain songs . That’s all I wanted

At this bpm remember to leave 1/16 spacing between chords on keys

Wow i feel stupid i charted pro keys for this last night but i didnt know it was already done lol my chart needs a little work but i think its more challenging and im new to the custom authoring scene so i still dont really know how to chart vocals and quick question do u know how to chart unison bonuses because im stumped and great full band chart btw

@NickHa 10 жыл бұрын

If the game detects multiple Overdrive phrases on different instruments in the same section, it'll automatically turn them into Unison bonuses, so just line them up together.

thanks so much for the quick feed back btw how hard was it to chart the vocals ? because im pretty familiar with the other instruments now but i wanna chart vocals for a couple songs i have already completed but from what i hear its a huge pain.

Justin Diaz Conceptually, it's pretty straightforward: just map the literal notes that the singer is singing. In practice, it's an exercise in patience, and often frustration. 1. You have to be VERY precise with timing, down to the hundredths of a note. If a syllable is transcribed just a hair too long, it becomes much more difficult to hit and maintain. 2. That also means you can't copy-paste similar sections or notes as easily, since each section will vary wildly from one to the next. 3. You have to transcribe almost EVERY minor variation in pitch. Have fun with those vibratos. 4. You have to compensate for consonants, since they don't produce a pitch that the game will understand. When you're trying to be precise, this is pretty difficult to do. 4. You have to rewrite the lyrics with a specific syntax so the game understands how to interpret each lyric.

does the song come with the isolated drum part, or is it all a singular entity?

@TheSonic497 6 жыл бұрын

Dicksponge Ent. It's just the song, none of the parts are isolated.
