    • Reminder to tempo map first then chart because the count in will shift everything right!

  • SHIFT+Q - Move closest grid line to mouse cursor while holding.
  • SHIFT+L - Import lyrics for selected notes from file.
  • ALT+SHIFT+S - Splits a long note along the current grid. Great for quickly creating things like 16th note patterns.
  • NUMPAD 9 - Set note lengths to grid size.

Other essential stuff

Section titled “Other essential stuff”

It’s worth checking this stuff out!

  • [RBN/C3 charting guide] - The essential guide on charting for Rock Band. Written by Harmonix and with parts added by the C3 team.
  • [MAGMA] - A tool to compile your custom so it can go in the game. It’s still in use and has been improved over the years.
  • [Nautilus (formerly known as C3 CON Tools)] - The Swiss army knife of Rock Band stuff. Lots of great and specific tools for customs.
  • [Onyx] - A must have tool if you’re testing on RPCS3 as it can export into a modern PS3 format.
  • [Ultimate Vocal Remover GUI] - Contrary to what the name is, this does a lot more than just remove vocals. This is AI stem separation software that can greatly help in separating a song into separate elements to help with charting. The version linked is a beta version that includes the ability to import Roformer models. Here are the suggested models:
    • Demucs:
      • htdemucs_ft - Separates into four instruments.
      • htdemucs_6s - Gives you six instruments instead of the usual four.
    • MDX-NET
      • [BS Roformer SW] - Like htdemucs_6s but with monumentally superior quality. Requires a beefy graphics card!
      • UVR-MDX-NET INST HQ 3 or 5 - Essential as it usually gives better vocal isolation than Demucs.
      • [Drumsep] - Essential as it separates a stereo drum track into various elements. Helps a ton with drum charting.
  • [Mvsep] - Like UVR but it runs on a server. You are restricted to MP3 quality and there is a queue. You can pay to avoid this.
  • [Pro Guitar Guide] - You’re probably never gonna touch Pro Guitar/Bass, but for the masochists, this is the only good guide out there.
