☆ ACCESSIBILITY
:!: WORK IN PROGRESS! :!:
While Rock Band is by its own nature not always the most accessible game, there are certain things to keep in mind to help out.
----------
☆ REDUCTIONS
You should make sure your song has properly authored reductions, that are fun to play for people at the skill level that best fits each difficulty.text/html2025-06-01T02:26:01+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)advanced_building_troubleshooting

If you ever were unsure about which age rating to give your custom, here is a very over-detailed deep dive into what seems to fit within the FF, SR and M rating labels. This guide will also talk about how to handle slurs, so you don't end up with a karaoke party where people say a bunch of no-no words and ruins the fun.text/html2025-07-08T00:39:10+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)audio

☆ AUDIO
This page will help you with setting up the audio used in-game and for charting.
----------
☆ Audio Quality
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:text/html2026-04-11T08:29:17+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)beat

☆ BEAT
:!: WORK IN PROGRESS! :!:
The Beat track decides how the beat lines will be handled in-game. By default, you can mostly leave it alone, but in some cases it is useful to know how to edit it, particularly when it comes to songs with odd or shifting time signatures.text/html2025-07-24T01:20:59+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)big_rock_endings

☆ BIG ROCK ENDINGS
:!: WORK IN PROGRESS! :!:
A Big Rock Ending (aka. a BRE) is a mechanic unique to Rock Band, where you can make it so songs that ends in freeform jamming can be marked as an improvisation lane. This is done to make it so a song doesn't become suddenly nigh impossible to full combo or even pass just because the band goes bananas at the end. They're often more common in live versions, but they sometimes occur in studio recording as well.text/html2025-04-06T03:22:05+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)drums

This page details how to author the standard and pro 4-lane charts for Drums to be played with a drum controller or MIDI drumset.

☆ Introduction
Charting Drums for Rock Band consists of creating a pretty close and mostly accurate representation of the actual drum part in the song. While some adjustments have to be done for things like multiple cymbals and toms on occasion, the basics are mostly 1:1, and can actually teach the player how to perf…text/html2025-04-27T18:24:22+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)events

☆ EVENTS

The Events track controls 3 different things via text events:
* Gameplay parameters
* Crowd animations
* Practice sections
Here is how to handle each of them:
----------
☆ GAMEPLAY EVENTS
Don't worry, this step is very easy and you don't have to learn any programing languages to make your custom work or the like. For most cases you only need these 3 events to make it build, which should already be in your charting template:text/html2025-04-06T03:47:36+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)genre_list

☆ GENRE LIST
:!: WORK IN PROGRESS :!:
Here is an extensive list of all the genres and subgenres available to use in-game and in the metadata for your customs, with some explanations to help you pick the most fitting one for your song. Picking a genre affects in-game sorting and animations, while subgenres are only for sorting use outside of the game.text/html2025-04-06T02:13:07+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)guitar_bass

LYRICS IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES
This page is here to help you out if you're charting vocals for a song in a different language from English.
----------
General Info
* Some languages are traditionally written in a different alphabet, such as Kanji or Cyrillic. Since these letters won't show up properly in-game, you'll want to romanize the lyrics, finding out how they would be written using the Latin alphabet used in English, Spanish and so on.

☆ TEMPOMAPPING
:!: WORK IN PROGRESS! :!:
Tempomapping is one of the most important parts of your chart; it is what makes it so the beat of the song syncs up to the audio. You should not chart anything until the tempo map is fully done, as you want your notes to follow the beat. Not only is this to make the charting itself much more sensible, but it also affects elements such as Overdrive, crowd clapping and the animation speed in-game, as they're all synced to it directly.text/html2025-04-09T03:01:28+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)tools

☆ The Basics
Reaper v4.22
The main program most people use for Rock Band customs, and the program recommended by Harmonix themselves. It is a full digital audio workshop, and can be used for the charts themselves and the audio of the song in one.
