"How do I make a simfile (for FFR)?" - A guide - Page 4

As for the blanket permissions from the artists, does that mean that any cover songs that band has made of other artists work is also permissible?

In other words, if band A made a song, and band B did a cover for it and then gave blanket permission to use their songs, can I use band B's cover song for a stepfile?

If B lets you use their song, you can. It's B's problem if they didn't get legal permission to make the cover from A.

I don't have proof that this is true, but this makes sense to me.

Umm... I'm having a problem sending my song to Tass.

I attatch the file to the email, put all my stuff in, put in Tass's email address... And when it's sending, it says error, and something about hotmail.

Help please

I'm probably just being dumb though..

Can you specify "something about hotmail"?
Even type out the error? :P

**RubiedCross** · 08-26-2007, 12:38 AM

Haha, sure. Wait one sec...

"Could not connect to hotmail as %s.

Hotmail no longer allows emails access via Outlook Express for free email accounts.

Account : "hotmail", Server: "http://services.msn.com/svcs/hotmail/httpmail.asp", Protocol: HTTPMail, Server Response: 'Access to Hotmail via Outlook and Outlook Express now requires a subscription. Please sign up at http://join.msn.com/general/Email', Port: 0, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 998, Error Number: 0x800CCCF6"

Now that I read it, I'm guessing I either have to send it via my hotmail account, or sign up at the site.

Just tell me though, just to make sure

By the sounds of it, you're using Outlook to go *through* hotmail to send your message, and it sounds like hotmail no longer allows you to do this.

So yes, use hotmail.com to send it.

**RubiedCross** · 08-26-2007, 12:41 AM

K, thank you very much.

My file most likely won't be accepted though.

It's Yager, and I have quite a few 1 framers/0 framers ;P

To be honest, I wouldn't even submit it if you have 1 and 0 framers.
Either keep it as a non-FFR song, or fix it up a little jack-wise.

**RubiedCross** · 08-26-2007, 12:49 AM

Yeah, I'll probably dim down the jacks and crap.

Or just start on a different song.

But not tonight though. It's 2 in the morning, and I'm tired.

Once you have made the song, you have to convert it into a zip file. Once you have the file, open g-mail (Or use your regular e-mail provider) and send your file (As an attachment) with proof that the author has allowed you to do it, to Tass at his g-mail account, which I believe is TASSELFOOT@GMAIL.com

Hope that helps.

EDIT:: Oh yeah, forgot this was the actual thread for making songs. Just check the first page if this doesn't help. It should be under the "Submission" section.

bboyxshinobi · 11-4-2007, 10:41 PM

lol ill probably never be able to make a song

**Goldenwind** · 12-10-2007, 05:58 AM

Will be updating this sometime this month, in theory. Just a heads up for any aspiring artists.

- Making it easier to understand
- Bit more clarification on how to work files with ITG
- Adding content on how to sync a song
- lrc (Lyric) files
- Adding stops
- How stops and BPM changes affect FFR

Want something else in here? Say so!

negrolol · 12-26-2007, 03:26 PM

LOL xD

- Ensure you have 2 or more seconds of silence in the beginning of your music file

does that mean 2 seconds you cant hear sound or 2 seconds of no beats coming? cus i cant afford the sound thingy to make it have 2 seconds of no music D=

negrolol · 02-20-2008, 03:52 PM

No notes in the first 2 seconds. If you plan to have notes playing in the beginning of your song, edit the song by putting 2 seconds of silence in the beginning (Therefore the first sound will be 2 seconds into the song, so you won't have to cut off any beats).
