Awesome song and the chart looks fun too. Excited to get some cool new music for RB!

[blueblur3000]

Thanks! I'm getting some flak over the guitar chart. That's really the only thing holding it up from getting approved now.

[JPSChampagne]

I was watching this and thinking how it was the right choice to make all of these half-whispered half-snarled vocals into talkies, and then there were a few weird parts that you charted. My advice would be either to do that for everything, as you really could if you wanted to, or not do it for any of it. Having those weird little parts charted just felt badly uneven and would throw off anyone trying to sing it.

Awesome song, though! Killer venue track. I loved all the effects. Suited the song.

[blueblur3000]

All the vocals should be talkies. Those are just mistakes in the vocal charting. The venue track is even better since I've uploaded this video, and I corrected the hi-hat solo so that the open hits are on blue instead of yellow.

Thanks for the comment!

[SonicRocker15X]

Nice work on the track, just one thing I noticed though:

At about 1:59 after the yellow it almost sounds like there's a note that wasn't charted. I was just thinking maybe you missed it.

[blueblur3000]

The "guitar" part is kind of tricky to chart because the synth has a little delay effect on it. I generally tried to only chart the actual notes. I hear what you're talking about, but there's quite a bit of that in the song that I didn't chart.

Thanks for the comment though.

[LordHardwar3]

Any reason the guitar is all over the place?

Maybe chart the song relative to notes being played instead of difficulty you want it to be

[blueblur3000]

When is the guitar all over the place?

[LordHardwar3]

for most of the song?

i can understand the difficulty of it considering you're charting two synth tracks as one instrument but you jump between the two synths in the same bar

[blueblur3000]

There's only one synth in the song.

[MrOwn1]

THE WHOLE FRAKKING SONG.

Man, I have so many good ideas for the chart for this song, but alas, I'm not in control of this.

[TheDJPooka]

Very nice track and one I'll definitely be grabbing - although I gotta ask, why not map those two drums sections as a drum solo, or is that not possible?

[blueblur3000]

Thanks for the nice words.

I could technically make those parts drum solos, but they're pretty simple. It's a fairly repetitious pattern both times. I think solos are supposed to be...not so repetitive, so I don't think they should really be charted as solos.

[TheDJPooka]

I know what you mean - it's certainly nice to see some electro showing up in the game that isn't the chiptuniness of Freezepop!

I must get back into this music writing thing again, although my stuff is really not suitable :p

[AtupoMaruru]

I'd still stay make them drum solos, at least the last one with the double bass. A solo is when one instrument takes center stage, which I would say that the drums does in those places.

[GeneralAwesome]

In case you haven't spotted it yet, you missed a green drum note at 3:04. Aside from that, great work.

[blueblur3000]

Yep. I noticed that. Thanks though.

[timmowarner]

I plan on buying this!

And glad to see that you're going to spend time on the lighting and animations. I fear too many people will only worry about the charts!

[blueblur3000]

Yeah, I don't imagine groups such as Rhythm Authors (no offense to them or anyone similar) will take as much time with lighting and camera angles and character animations than people doing their own stuff will.

Once I get done with this song, the plan is to start on another song of mine called "Around the World." Watch out for updates on that if you like this song.
