 Its important to use audio that will sound good in game, and be of high enough fidelity where you can actually tell whats going on when charting. Unless no better audio exists, you never wanna go below a 320kbps MP3 in sound quality. Here are some audio sources we recommend: Its important to use audio that will sound good in game, and be of high enough fidelity where you can actually tell whats going on when charting.

 After getting good quality audio of the song you want to chart, you want to import it into Reaper. Simply drag and drop it to an empty audio track in your project. Before editing the audio further we recommend setting up the tempo map. After getting good quality audio of the song you want to chart, you want to import it into Reaper.

-Once the audio is lined up properly, you'll want to add a count-in to your song unless it already has one naturally.

 +If you have multitracks or DIY stems, sampling a hi-hat, ride or stick hit from the song itself usually sounds pretty good. Please do not use the techno hi-hat sample that comes with Reaper, it will sound off for anything that isn't techno. 
 + 
 +If a song has a different time signature than 4/4 to start with, you should try matching the count-in to that. For example, a 3/4 rhythm would be "1, 2, 1-2-3-1-2-3".

 If working with entirely unmixed multitracks, we recommend looking up audio mixing tutorials on YouTube or asking someone for help as it is way too much for us to cover on this page. If push come to shove, remember that audio quality always should be the priority over just having multitracks in-game, so if it turns out impossible to mix them well just use them for reference while charting and use the CD mix in Magma. If working with entirely unmixed multitracks, we recommend looking up audio mixing tutorials on YouTube or asking someone for help as it is way too much for us to cover on this page.

 For songs without multitracks available, DIY stems are very helpful for hearing what is going on in the song better, and on rare occasions might even be good enough to use in-game. Here is how to make those: For songs without multitracks available, DIY stems are very helpful for hearing what is going on in the song better, and on rare occasions might even be good enough to use in-game.
