So I'm reading this article in the new Game Informer (You Say You Want a Revolution, pg. 24 of the Sept. 09 issue) talking about how Rockband is releasing a new program for just about anyone who can use it to make their own music available for Rockband. You lay out the tracks (you will need to split up guitar/bass/drum/vocal) and lay out the gems in a similar style to many popular music programs out there.

Essentially, Strange can download said software(s), find someone who can use it (they say most people who have used audio editing software should find it very easy... I assume like a fruity loops grid layout), then lay down the gems to match the songs. After completing the song, they can then upload it to the Rockband database, set the price (the artist sees 30% of the profit from DL sales, although prices can't be free), and bam.. You're playing guitar, bass, drums, and vocals for Tech songs.

I don't see why Strange wouldn't be able to get fans to do this for a small price, if not free.

Also, I believe the program is free... It's just a matter of owning the rights to the songs, which will create a problem for any songs with samples in them, but it's an interesting start. I suppose if you want to check out more about this, check gameinformer.com, or perhaps check the harmonix website.

I'd def play Tech on Rockband....

I used to have fun playing old shit of his on guitar with the songs... I suppose they'd be more of a drum/bass/vocal genre track, but I'd dl them so long as they were pretty damn cheap and didn't come with malware.

It's the only song other than the sample songs on ER disc 2 that I truly enjoy both of them on tracks. Otherwise, I can't get down with Mr. Landis' voice.

Well, it goes without saying why they were actually on the first song of the cd.

Anyway, I think this idea would be a good way to cash in on a game market that has yet to see cold feet.

LoL I always said the same thing.

I always kinda wished he didn't have Skattnasty and Snug Breezy on it.

LoL I always said the same thing.

instead of a guitar for rap songs, create a synthesizer board with the color key layout

That defeats the whole point of the thread. If I could just go out and create a new game, I would.

Ya`ll some skat and snug haterz...... If it wasnt g shit yall wouldnt like it but if its to gangsta ya`ll dont like it. Startin to think ya`ll dont even like rap! Id much rather hear skat and snug then blaze or boondox or even the great twiztid ..... They put shit down to some metal beats they sample shit like styx man in the wilderness, musically they show that they try and be versatile. Those of you from the town who be hatin should be ashamed and as far as the mid-west goes they some of the best we got.... Do any of you actually hustle or even see the streets? I cant believe ya`ll dont feel skat and snug?

Maybe it hasn't hit you yet, but not all rap listeners are from "the streets". I don't need to be from "the streets" to see that S&S' raps and rhymes are generic compared to lots of others out there. I'm sick of hearing motherfuckers whine about how bad the streets are, but they stay hood all day every day.

That'd be pretty awesome if that happened. That program is going to make Rock Band 10x more awesome.. unfortunately for me I have RB for PS3 and PS3 users won't be able to download every song, just "the greatest hits" so if tech did put some music up it wouldn't probably be available for me.
