Charting

Hello! I'm offering drum only charts for Clone Hero and YARG. These charts will be as accurate as possible on expert difficulty, which mostly follows RBN standards (such as flams being R+Y). You can find previews of my existing charts on youtube to get a better understanding of how I chart.

Pricing

The pricing of a song has a couple different variables, but it's mostly determined by song length and how much tempo mapping is required. As you may know, tempo mapping takes a good amount of time, which is why pricing can be so various.

Prices are in USD.

Standard

$5 $4/minute

Standard rate for studio songs

* If the song requires little to no tempo mapping, I'll subtract a dollar per minute

Live Recordings

$6 $5/minute

Live recordings require extensive tempo mapping

* In some cases, this can also include studio songs that are not played to a metronome

About Me

I first got into charting back in May 2023. Since then, I've learned a lot about the process and after a full year, I'm comfortable enough to start taking commissions. Playing drums has always been my favorite out of all the instruments that can be played. I have an Alesis Nitro Mesh kit, which is about the standard kit most people buy to play casually.

The Process

  1. The song is obtained in FLAC, if possible
  2. The BPM is determined and a count in is added to the song, then it's transcoded to Vorbis (.ogg) 256kbps for the best quality
  3. Starting in MoonScraper, all sections of the song are set
  4. AI stems using demucs are utilized to help make sure the song is properly tempo mapped (and charted)
  5. All expert notes are placed and lyrics are added (as a rough draft), then the .chart file is converted to a REAPER project file
  6. Star power, activations, and lower difficulties are charted
  7. Lyrics are synced syllable by syllable
  8. Chart is exported as a .mid file, then zipped to be released

Q&A

It varies greatly depending on how long the song is, how difficult it is, and how many other commissions I have. You will be notified when I start and given a very general timeframe based on the song.

When I add lyrics, I go syllable by syllable in REAPER to ensure each one is synced closely to the song. It's a very slow but precise process that warrants extra compensation for the time taken.

I'm not familiar enough with the other instruments to take commissions for them. The only other one I might consider is vocals for YARG.

When starting, it's easier to visualize the chart using MS. REAPER offers more functionality, especially when it comes to things like lanes, solos, and disco flip.

TLDR: They both have their strong points, so I get the best of both worlds.
