The third Way to Chart Customs (With Guitar Hero/Rockband/PS/Frets on fire templates) Advantages :  

 

Phase Shift Templates :

 

- Your Song Will Be PERFECTLY Beat Synced.

- You've got the exact note position you just have to edit every notes or use the position as example.

- Lyrics already included & PERFECTLY Synced

- Great Quality Multitracks (You Can create Backtracks when removing the guitar track & keeping all other instruments) I Think Lowering The Guitar Volume To 50% instead of Removing It is Probably a Better Choice.

- The RB3 section by Bluzer already content Pro Notes for Guitar & Bass ! (Nothing to do) Bluzer's Rock Band Series For Phase Shift: http://www.fretsonfire.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=56438 Bluzer's Guitar Hero Series For Phase Shift: http://www.fretsonfire.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=57010 As EOF is "Cross Musical Game" you just have to import & work on the already done template as a base. Giving a little Thanks to the above charters is always a good idea, it cost nothing & takes 5s (They've spent Years of labor to obtain this result) Thanks.

 

There's a bad side though The Rock Band 1 Songs & Guitar Hero 1,2, & 3 have covers versions For Rock Band there's just 3 or 4 covers, you can use this search engine to know what song have been released for witch RB: http://www.rockband.com/songs/finder

There's Severals Ways To Chart Using Guitar Hero/Rockband/PS/templates:

 

- 1st Way (Translating Gems into Pro Notes): Built a new EOF Project, using the guitar.ogg provided by the above Charters. Import the midi in EOF, The interresting Guitar Hero/Rockband notes are in expert difficulty, in part guitar (& bass if available) lyrics are already finished (unless you've used Frets On Fire Templates) Select Song/Track/real_guitar_22 part, go to the first beat & use Edit/Paste from Amazing. The Guitar Hero/Rockband notes are now in the good part. (You can do the same for real_bass_22) Now open your .pdf  check the most repeated note or chords all over the song, select it & in the menu go to Edit/Selection/Select like. "Left mouse click on it", push N (on Keyboard) it will edit all the selected notes at once ! Repeat as much as possible this process (to win some times) & take care of not overwriting your freshly edited notes with this select like function. (It's easier to start this technique with real_bass_22 the first time). You'll have to merge the audio files with Audacity, once it's done go at the end of the track & add 8s of silence, export. The rest of the process is similar with the others methods/ways to chart.

 

This tutorial describes this process with more details:

- 2nd Way (Only Keeping The Beat lines): Import the midi, lock the beat/tempo map &  import the .gp in real_guitar_22 part. Sync your song on the existing beats: I'm using Edit/Selection/Select All, move your first note (it will move the others Notes Too), Sync your Note on the early matching beat, Select the 2nd Note to move Edit/Selection/Select Rest,  it will only move the Notes After Your Selected One. (So the done work will stay unchanged), Sync your 2nd Note to the matching beat etc.. Once it's done you can compare switching between real_guitar_22 part & Amazing Guitar part (for exact notes position).

Update Rocksmith Toolkit via menu. Tried unpack, and got only showlights file, no any xml. Tried import, got xmls. After import in to EOF no error, and no any notes and line strings. Only black windows in place chart, and 17 empty level of difficults.

There link to new xmls

 

@@Frack What is "Bluzer's rips " ?

lead is not empty, It's just how it's done you can create new difficulty with all chart content and you'll see that it's missing only chords at verse\riff parts, I thin it's because of wrong chordID applied or I don't know what is wrong, maybe all right I'll go and rtyy here to do so with similar song :)

@ Bluzer is one of the person who make the frets on fire post, extract the original files (rip), rework on everything (until they got a perfect result in order to provide the best experience) (like original RB & GH quality) with several others talented charters, for Phase shift (files are EOF compatible).

@@Frack Thanks you very much.

Those XMLs seem to import correctly, apart from non RS1 features being ignored.

Post update: Just rearranged the overal presentation & Thanks to Karmeleaux for the detailed process tutorial (added to the post).

Interesting, I'm comparing the Rock Band rip of a Foo Fighters song to the album version and the bass seems slightly different.  Maybe Harmonix got at alternate take or something.

It's happened before. They had to go with whatever recording they could get that has stems available.

Just a few things I've found out from doing this using clone hero charts

 

You can't directly import the .chart files into eof you need to convert them to midi using moonscraper since the program for converting scorehero charts doesn't work with open notes.

 

Also List of clone hero setlists, Clone hero chart search engine

 

Most songs don't have multi tracks except from the official songs though.

You can in fact import them directly into EOF. There was a bug I just fixed with extended sustains during Feedback import, but the current Windows beta imports extended sustains, disjointed chords, lyrics and pretty much everything Clone Hero has to offer:
