Project Bombs and Eternity - weekly update 5

This week's update is a little late but I managed to almost get everything caught up. I haven't had a lot of time  the last couple weeks to work on songs between real life things, school, and my PC boosting sessions. Hopefully by next week I will be completely caught up.

Song Changes
I did a test run of the Homecoming file that I had a number of messages about. I got 100% on my test run (picture included below) so it is possible to get 100% with the file it is just very hard to sync it up properly. That being said it is incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to get gold stars on it. The top score on Scorehero is lower than the score from my run and it ranked 12th on the Xbox leaderboards. So to make this achievement a whole lot less difficult I have made a vocals file for Homecoming. I had a look at Beatle Beat 12 that I had a few comments about. It turns out I put in the wrong BPM when I was making the file. I changed it and re uploaded the file so it should be working properly now. I also made a file containing all of Tre's Greatest hits for those that need to complete the whole set. I moved some of Tre's Greatest Hits, and all of the Rock Band format files for Guitar Hero Van Halen, Guitar Hero World Tour, Rock Band, Rock Revolution, and Guitar Hero World Tour.
Edit - Homecoming gold star cutoff on drums is possible and is around 380,000.



This Week's Songs
This week on drums I made Rock Band format files for Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love, And the Cradle Will Rock, American Idiot, Burnout, Chump, Gratitude, No Sleep 'Till Brooklyn, Schism, and Trapped Under Ice. As mentioned above, I also added Homecoming on vocals. As always vocals videos can be found here and drum files can be found here.

Blog Updates
I made some changes to the blog this week. I added an option to subscribe by email for those of you that want to get post updates by email. I also added some links to useful posts in this blog, my YouTube channel, and my new cooking blog. I started a cooking blog last week to share recipes I have either found, created, or modified. I will probably be updating it weekly so if any of you like cooking you should have a look at it. It can be found here.

Video of the Week
I didn't have time to make a video this week so I will try to double up next week.

  1. email updates very nice. Also I managed to get gold stars on the homecoming song but as you said it does take some time to get it but it is possible.

  2. beatle beat 12 still seems to be off. some of the kicks are not registering or not there and the file runs longer than the beat. i know some of the beats are very similar with only slight variations. is it possible it might not be the right beat?

    1. I will have to look into the file further. I will try to get to it at some point this weekend. If there is something wrong with it I might have to manually record it in December or January when I have access to my drum set again.

  3. Just came across your blog, and think that PBaE is a great idea! I look forward to songs from the first Rock Band, since I have no one to play the game with. Maybe I'll finally get some of the band achievements :-)

  4. Hi! im about to put in practice your method with the midi adapter, but i was thinking to get into the creation of those files aswell, 'cause of the pro drum objective in RB3, ill be checking reaper and so and if i manage to understand it ill try to make those files, if you have any tip that would be great, besides you could use them for your page ;)

    1. I really haven't looked into the pro files other than just opening them briefly so you probably know about as much as I do at this point. If you have any success let me know.

    2. Hi there! good news, the midi adapter is working just fine and thanks to you I got most of the drums trophies in TBRB, GDRB and RB3 (the hardest ones), plus i've been testing the pro drums setting in the midi files and i managed to create most of the beats for the RB3 goal "Drum Trainer Graduate", so i guess i'll finish the rest for this weekend and i'll be uploading them for your page, its my way to say thank you for the great help you gave me with these tutorials, see you around!
