I'd like to add that i have been working on one of the songs to which i'll give the link to those wanting to see my work, i'd like to say that if you search for me, i have worked on a very few CDLC but all of them may need a rework !

The link to SYNC.wav : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NuHY2VCp-xcePXUZXr_pfoWp7RWZ6s0J/view?usp=sharing
It is named "v1" which is normal as it's still a WIP ! Please be patient with me as i am still in the process of learning the way of making CDLC !

Hope this'll create more hype around this band which deserves it !

Thank you in advance for those who'll want to take part in this project !

Hi there !
This reply to the original post to notify that i'll be uploading the entire Show Me The Real You EP really soon, it came out as i wanted after i encountered some bugs that slowed the process.
You may see that some songs have only a solo, some have solo/rhythm and some have solo/rhythm/bass (and an alternate bass but it'll be explained why on the CDLC). After much thought with the tabs i had on hands, i thought that some parts wouldn't that interesting to play for a few reasons like not many notes or background sound for effects.
I'm really sorry for those that think it's worth doing, if it's the case i wouldn't mind making those parts but as for now and the fact it's been 2 months since i've started this post it has been on my mind for a long time to finish this. Also for the bass parts, i happen to have a 4 string bass with the original strings .45 - .105 which i should change soon enough, as they are almost 3 to 4 years old, and i have a set of .50 - .120 (EXL160BT) which should make the songs work as it was kind of hard to have the game pick up the sound of my bass while testing.

For Stargazer and YOUR LIGHT FADES AWAY, it's of work to be honest and it has been kind of hard, as well as the fact that i don't have much time on my hands with my student life as i am preparing a competitive exam for April.

As a matter of facts, for YOUR LIGHT FADES AWAY, 2 out of the 3 songs are "ready", which means that i have made them into a CDLC and i am testing them. But i'm honestly not that happy about the tone i created in the Tone Designer.
For Show Me The Real You it is a bit different, i kinda like the tone that i achieved to come up with, but it's a bit "meh", i don't know what to think of it.
I'm sure you'll tell me !
And obviously as i'm not a pro at creating this kind of things, i have asked for the help of ChatGPT and DeepSeek, which may or may not have been of help, once again you'll tell me

Finally, it's great having some time to work on those, i expect to maybe finish or atleast release some songs from Stargazer by the end of next week and maybe SHI=DEATH and WOULDYOUWAITFORME at the same time, even if i'm not satisfied with my tones.

Thank you for putting up with me so far,

Hope you enjoy the songs ! And as such i also happened to have extra CDLC to release !

Hey there ! 

If you read this i would like to issue a warning for the content of the Show Me The Real You EP that was recently posted.

So if you read this, i'll ask you to not download these CDLCs for the time being !

It was recently reported that these issues were there for my CDLCs :
- Charts need 10 seconds of leading silence.
- Bass tuning needs fixing (right click the bass arrangement in the DLCB and click Apply Low Tuning Fix. Bass charts lower than C Standard need the low tuning fix applying.)
- Sustains need fixing. Sustains should never touch the following notes - you should have, at minimum, a 1/32 gap between the end of the sustain and the following notes.
- Sustains that last less than a beat can also get removed. They don't convey any extra information 99% of the time and a regular note will do the job just fine.

As such, i'd like to apologize to the community for those issues that are present in the CDLCs, i'm obviously a beginner in making CDLC and as such i was still following a really old tutorial while there was a more recent one.

As a matter of fact, i am working actively to fix my CDLCs and am hoping to release them later during the day, maybe tonight.

So, please bear with me for this for a while longer !

And thank you for downloading these CDLCs even though they lack in quality !

I'll do better for the next ones, i promise !

Thank you for taking the criticism well and working to update your charts to the 2025 standards in the future, if you need help with any of the steps , come visit us on the discord in the #creators channel for help.

Update 23/02 :

Hey everyone !

This post is a sort of update on what's coming from now on.
For those that read these update up until now, this project went through some troubles (Bass paths, sustains, leading silence, etc...) and but since then i've worked hard to try and fix these errors which are now version 1.1 and 1.3 for some of the CDLCs of the Show Me The Real You EP.

On the 20th Gasoline was also reported due to a wrong GDrive link that was put for this CDLC for which i sincerely apologize ! It has now been fixed by the way

As of the release of version 1.1 and 1.3 this EP, i have been working on the Stargazer LP and YOUR LIGHT FADES AWAY EP, which are now in testing phase on my part, atleast for the guitars, while i do not own a 5 string bass, it is with great pleasure that i've been told by the members of the discord server that you can find on the forum that they can be of help on that part which i'd gladly take ! 

Which leads us to the "sad" part, as i wrote before, it's an important year for me as i'm taking an exam, really important one in April. To this extent, i'll take the time needed to pass it !

As such, i'm still committed to deliver CDLCs and if i don't put objectives for myself, i might not follow up on that. So, i've decided to make a sort of Road Map for what to expect from now on.
Though, i'd like to tell you that this Roadmap can be modified and songs can be released one by one or as one group of 3 songs depending on my workrate.
These objectives seem doable for me, and with the great help i've been given by the awesome community on the discord has made me more than happy to keep on doing this and learning new things.

So, thank you if you read this far, i'm more than happy to keep on trying to do my best for those CDLCs, looking forward to those !

(N.B : The roadmap doesn't say it but obvisouly Stargazer EP will also include 5 string bass paths)
