Hi Nacholede, I do applaud the first efforts of those contributors. Been busy with my own CDLC so I couldn't say anything yet about their quality. I think I speak for everyone when I say: Please go ahead and improve things if you can. About Dance of Death, I recommend you check out both versions in circulation (both of which I haven't rigourously tested), maybe you'd save yourself some time if you like one of them. Thanks for your initiative, those are important songs!

Maiden fans: I am proud to present my 1st CDLC, Iron Maiden - No More Lies I hope you enjoy it! Here is the link to the Customsforge post: http://customsforge.com/topic/7759-no-more-lies/

MacGyver might be fun on the guitar.

Thanks for the hard work Snake. I have the same issue for No More Lies sequences that go 5 5 5/7 1 1 1/3 3 3 3/5. I find the song sounds good both ways even if tab doesn't have them as palm mutes. On YouTube I could only clearly see Adrian Palm muting in No More Lies so I think I will only palm mute his arrangement and then since each arrangement is similar every user can more often choose the arrangement they prefer. I guess it is also sounding fine without palm mutes because the single notes are played fast and relatively gently compared the the power chord (ta ta TA ta ta TA ta ta TA)Any way I look forward to Die With Your Boots On!Can't wait to try Satellite 15 ... Final Frontier! Nacholede this song sounds like it will be awesome to play.I've just tried a sneak preview of Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.... You guys are gonna lose your shit!This has been a great month for Maiden fans! Thanks to all!!!

Oh I see how it works now! I took for granted it would auto-refresh as soon as a non-grid-snapped note was moved to grid but since you found I had turned it off all I had to do was turn it back on to the redo the check and all the highlight disappeared because my notes are in snap. Then I went to another arrangement, the feature was enabled this time, and many notes were highlighted as off-snap so disabling then immediatly re-enabling the feature got the highlighting to update and disappear since my notes are in synch. Nice feature that it catches tech notes out of snap too when in Tech View. It's a good reminder of where tech notes were purposely placed millseconds out of grid snap so as affect the current note and not the following adjacent note. Thank-you raynebc! As always, most helpful! So helpful I most certainly credited you in my song posting released last month only as a beta and as well in the future official posting.

Hi raynebc, As recommended here is a link to my project. http://www.mediafire.com/download/y6tl5zpe03i18qg/IronMaiden-NoMoreLies-Berneer-vBeta7.1.eof If you are wondering, yes it is still the same bloody song you've been answering questions about since December. :oops: I've basically resynched it all and started from scratch :???: Thanks so much for offering to help. Oh, and I will read all posts on this thread to see what I need to update for the next update to the Tech Notes tutorial. I haven't abandoned you. Just extremely busy in the summer running my soccer league and accompanying amateur but detailed stats web site.

Apart from beautiful Russian Milf pop-ups I have no problem with Mediafire. I don't use Anti-virus software because I still feel unpriotected with them, so I couldn't say anything about viruses. So far Dropbox impresses me most in terms of speed of download and no advertising and simplicity though I have found Zippy, Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive to also be adequate. Mega could be a tiny bit better streamlined but is fine too I think. Considering the hours of fun in each package I will be happy to visit whatever site you guys post on as long as it is safe and obvious. I do hate pop-ups and couldn't be bothered with the mentionned remedies but my love of the content you all share with us far outweighs the very acute hate I have for advertising. :) Sorry font sizes are all wacky today on my end....

Hi Madmaxx. Yes I have. This problem I am having has been in every hotfix since approx 1327. Just wondering if I need to do something better or if there is a problem with the new feature. Thanks Madmaxx!

Sorry, been out of the loop for a little while and have a lingering question to which I have found no answer. About 10 hotfixes ago, raynebc introduced a yellow highlight toggleable feature that could highlight notes that are out of or have fallen out of grid snap. Ever since then I've had this issue where I see a bunch of notes that are grid snapped but which appear with the yellow highlight as though they are not grid-snapped. I figure it is a floating point round off issue but since no one has commented on this I'm thinking I'm doing something wrong. Here is a screenshot of one sequence in my project that shows highlight where I think it shouldn't. All 4 instances highlighted are in grid-snap 1/32 but the one I circle in red is one that most easily proves my point since it lands perfectly on a beat marker. Just to be sure I resnapped using CTRL+SHIFT+R. No change. Any help would be appreciated as I am tempted to ignore the yellow highlight but then it feels like that defeats the purpose of this great feature. http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/ad41/Berneer/SmithyAnvilStuff/Question%20-%20Non-gridsnap%20highlight%20when%20gridsnapped/Iamgridsnappedbuthighlightsaysnon-gridsnapped_zps51df4e01.png

Viva l'Italia! With coach Prandelli, I put all my eggs in their basket! The best thing that ever happened to Italia was to finally attack! The only problem is they showed in the Euro 2012 that their attacking style demands high energy which left them depleted in the final they should've won, though they had 1 day less to rest than Spain. Now add humidity and that may cancel the advantage of most of their players not having gone far in the Champion's League and being rested. My bet is in Italia! But as Snowdog said, European teams rarely win in the hot humid countries outside Europe. In fact Spain are the only European team to ever win the World Cup off of European soil (South Africa in 2010). I'd hate to see Brazil win it again but they were impressive at the Confederation's Cup last summer by destroying lacklustre Spain....I love Spain's scintillating performances but I think they are done. I wouldn't mind Argentina winning. Last year, I thought Germany might win the World Cup but I just don't feel it anymore. I'm still upset with Suarez cheating and ultimately eliminate promising Ghana in 2010. I used to like England when Michael Owen was around. I'm so excited!! It's insane! I subsribe to cable 1 month every 2 years just for Euro and World Cup. Great times ahead! Enjoy everyone!

Thanks so much for the feedback NotGuilty! I really appreciate it. I've been crazy busy for the last month but I will very soon resume work on this. I aim for end of June, lots of testing after I fix synch since sync is step one. :) wish I had more time but playing in and running a soccer league and it's web site is drastically gobbling up all my free time... Oh wait World Cup from mid June to mid July..... Hmmmm.... I'll try to fix No More Lies before then or else it may not come out till August.... Hehehe. Thanks again Not Guilty!

Guys, I am noticing several contributions to this discography are not always accompanied with RR or all the arrangements or a Custom tone, and that is your prerogative and we are thankful for all your hard work, but may I recommend that in your posts of Iron Maiden songs which has features missing (relative to a ODLC) that you let us know if you intend to eventually add them or if you are staying put. This would help others know whether to be patient when say, guitar or bass arrangements are not created, or whether they should simply create it themselves becausethey know it is not forthcoming. Thanks. I would also ask as a very minimum that we all break down our Maiden CDLC into at least half a dozen sections since these songs aren't easy. EoF evn gives us cookie cutter standard names for them "Intro, verse, chorus, interlude, solo". Like this we can use Riff Repeater (simply press SHIFT+S at several distinct locations in your project and voila Riff Repeater is now enabled.) Keep up the great work everyone.

MrCscn has made a noteworthy contribution: our first Iron Maiden CDLC featuring Blaze Bayley! Check it out! Thanks amigo!

Everyone check out what Jazzie just gifted us with, none other than Murders in the Rue Morgue! Awesome CDLC. Check it out!!!

Feedback on No More Lies showed me that I could make some slight improvements to my beat mapping. However since it is almost complete and very playable I might as well share my latest beta version. Feedback also recommended considering all sequences similar to the 5 5 5/7 1 1 1/3 3 3 3/5 after the first chorus to be palm mute the 2 single notes before the powerchord. Watching Maiden footage it looks like Adrian is the only one palm muting. Check out 3:24 of this video: I even bought an ultimately non-noob friendly seemingly official tab from onlinesheetmusic.com, which seems tabbed differently than this CDLC and the middle of page 7 has a bunch of Cryptic "Fig 1" and no palm mutes, but later in the tab there are some sparse palm mutes. I think I will just keep Dave and Jannick without Palm mutes and Adrian with Palm mutes unless several of you have a definitive answer for me. I am told my tone is close but distortion is a bit twangy.

Note: the Jannick lead intro shows a half dozen notes non-negligibly out of synch. This seems worse in YouTube than in -game but needs to be fixed. The rest of the song seems like the video notes precede the audio by less thn 100ms so it is worth me taking the time to redo this better. Still very playable in the interim, I think.

Sorry for the non-standard APPID. For some reason Cherub Rock makes my CDLC crash the game. 2. Guitar tones are original, Bass tone taken from Iron Maiden - Run to the Hills 3. Tab Used: http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/i/iron_maiden/no_more_lies_ver5_guitar_pro.htm# 4. Lead = Jannick Gers Rhythm = Dave Murray Bonus Rhythm = Adrian Smith Bass = Steve Harris Vocals = Bruce Dickenson 5. The Rhythm clean tone sounds high pitched relative to the song but I noticed that it is part of the harmony and it sounds better if picked lightly. Deviations from the Tab: The following are the deviations with respect to the tab, either due to RS2014 limitations or corrections made by ear: a) Jannick, measure 100: whammy bar not modeled (RS limitation) B) Adrian, measure 93: Grace notes modelled as two quickly successive notes with first note as a string muted note defined with the same fret as the note it precedes. Tab showed pre-note to be open string. Since grace notes are not part of the RS2014 feature set, the pre-note has been given IGNORE status, so missing that note won't penalize the player's score. c) Dave, measure 79: 1 grace note modeled note and pre-note as a Hammer-On; neither note is given IGNORE status. d) Adrian, measures 86,87,88,91 & Jannick, measure 94: 'artificial harmonic' and 'special harmonics' were modeled as 'pinch harmonics'. e)Dave, measure 122, Adrian, measure 122, Jannick, measure 27,28,31,32: calls for Rasgueado flamenco flicking of the strings technique. For Dave and Adrian, the flicking is quite slow and was modeled as an arpeggio. For Jannick, this was simply modeled as a regular chord being picked. f)Jannick, measure 93:, the trill in the beginning of the solowas modeled as a sequence of Hammer-On's and Pull-Offs (HOPO) each with 1/32 note duration. The trill with artificial harmonic was modelled as rapid picking (1/32 notes) pinch harmonics. g)Jannick, measure 19: was as one slide instead of three due to listening to the song. As well I made them 3 fret slides since the GP tab didn't specify the end note of the slide. Sounds right. h) Adrian, measure 86: beginning of solo pre-slide is not modelable in EoF so I treated it as a legato slide from fret 5 to fret 7 with vibrato. To score this properly, pick at fret 5, quickly slide to 7 and regardless of whether you do the vibrato you will see that you score twice doing this, 1x for the 5 and 1x for the slide to 7.It is a legato slide because you don't pick again upon sliding to 7 (fret 5 pick was set to linknext=1 so as to remove the note head on the fret 7) i)Jannick, measure 122: changed from ghost notes to string mute notes since the these notes are clearly audible in the song. Tones Volumes and Music Volumes were designed to sound best for the following: 1) In-Game Music Mixer at 100%; All Mixer volumes at 100%. 2) Recording Device Level in Windows at 71; Windows Volume Mixer for PC Speakers at 100% 3) PC Speakers treble and bass knobs set to middle 4) In-game Real Tone Cable Gain 2.0 dB Each of the guitar solos are way too advanced for me to perform so I was hoping to see someone tell me that Rocksmith is not too cumbersome to learn those flurries of notes.

Iron Maiden - No More Lies Comments and feedback are welcome, just please consider that I am not a musician and I do not possess the requisite skill to deviate too much from the tab without explicit instructions. I am sure the tones could be more perfect but these shouldn't break your immersion, I think. For now I will work on the feedback I already received. Thanks for your patience.

I am currently getting feedback on No More Lies so it is in the final stages. Shouldn't be much more than a week now until release here. Inching my way forward every night as my baby goes to sleep... Thanks for your patience! I am learning so much! I recommend everyone try their hand at doing at least one song. Though I never spoke to anyone who would ever consider stopping at one... :)

Dance of Death by Akaiz is now available here at CF. It is most welcome in it's own right and also because iFrit1332 didn't seem interested in joining another site after Smithy's downfall so we were really missing this song!

Wow, I almost had a heart attack when all my high E string notes disappeared in final testing once I upgraded EoF.... only to realize it was just bug. Then I immediately checked the date to see if it was an April Fools prank by raynebc.... I guess it was inadvertent. :) Though I bet it still exports fine since the vertical lines are still present. Great new features raynebc! Especially the non-grid snap highlight!! THANK-YOU!

By all means if you could get to songs like Where Eagles Dare before me, please do so. This song is mysteriously absent from all their concerts sadly. I dunno why since I consider it one of their 10 best. If you want the maximize Maiden coverage I know Fabianosan intended to update his RS2012 version of Wickerman while you focus on something else but of course nothing prevents you from offering you edition if Wickerman. Maybe Bacon didn't know about the tone bug for Phantom. Probably you can save yourself great effort if we PM him and explain this so he can fix it. I feel bad letting you do all the work Snake. Super thankful though!

As I wrote in your post Snake, thank-you so much and I will put all links to Maiden songs in the OP as soon as I finish No More Lies. Then perhaps I'll be due to update the Tech Notes tutorial, then I'll get started on Alexander the Great. After I want to make Rocky IV's Hearts on Fire if I can find tabs for it and then likely will make more Maiden after that. I was thinking Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, Murders in the Rue Morgue, Infinite Dreams and Where Eagles Dare but I won't write my name beside those yet because at my rate of completion that'll take a long time so I will do them when the time comes if nobody else does them first.

Great, thanks for this Snake! It's good to offer what features aren't currently available. Keep up the great work buddy.

Ladies and gentlemen, xxKryptonite just let me sample his upcoming release of Jason Aldean - My Kinda Party. Nice song. But what stands out is how this song practically uses the entire Tech Notes tutorial and crams it into one beautiful song. Thanks to raynebc's tech notes, xxKryptonite was able to render the exquisite personality that this song showcases, without compromise. I recommend you all download this song and see the Tech Notes tutorial in motion. Thanks Kryptonite! Bravo! When you finally submit your song, can you post a link to your submission here.

Excellent. Works and it is very fun! Thanks!!!!!

no, it doesn't work You are right MrCscn. ffsimaloos3r, this song doesn't appear in my song list either. In the toolkit when packing, what did you put uin the "Song Title Sort" and Artist Sort" fields?

Hi MVega, Only had a little time to look. Your XML looks fine for Vocal: <vocal time="3.100" note="254" length="0.187" lyric="Well+"/> I used a stopwatch. The word "well" appears 2.3 seconds before the singer sings the word. I randomly checked Def Leppard - Pour Some Sugar on Me from the Official Game setlist and the first word also appears the same amount of time before it is sung. Nothing looks fishy either when I import the Vocals XML into EoF. It looks fine. Perhaps if you show me where else in the song you say this occurs I can have a look at that too. Please let me know. I know PCPlum once said the word appears 15 to 20 seconds before it is sung, which is way too much but also something I couldn't produce myself. So I am really curious.
