    So what's the deal here???

    So, with classical songs, since they're old, are they free use for anyone? Or do you still have to get permission to use it from the people who recorded it? Hyrogashi, you'd know.

    Other question, what are you guys using to create and try out stepfiles? Is it neccisary to use DWI because DWI is acting very glitchy for me.

    If it's a classical peice then it can't be copyrighted by anyone

    I use SM CVS to create my songs

      he means Stepmania btw



      but I recommend getting 3.0, not the CVS. I have both and switched back to 3.0 - CVS crashes far too often for me...

        No, CVS is way better, one of the main reasons is how it fixes the DWI saving bug

            Hold on, would you still make the stepfile with notepad? Do you have to do anything differently than you do with Nestlekwik's guide? What do you save it as? Etc.

              Classical songs can indeed by copyrighted depending on who performs them and the age of the song when it was performed/recorded.

                ok

                1. Make a new song folder and copy your MP3 to it
                2. Get any DWI file, copy it to the new folder
                3. Delete all the song info, leaving just a blank header (you can now use this file for all following songs
                4. Open up stepania and select record/sync and select your song
                5. Edit as appropriate

                You dont need notepad at all except for prepping the file...

                Actually, with CVS there may not be an easier way I dunno...

                    thats what he was saying. Classical stuff is still being made; but some before 1952 and some after (im pretty sure its 50 years)

                      hmm.... with all these classicals comming out i might give it a try... i have like a $300 dj program that say the bpm of any song at any givven point in the song... i think that might help me a bit... i also have a rock song that i would like to see if it would work.... i dont have the steps yet, but synth if you could listen to it to tell me if its a good song for the site... i would appreciate it...

                            Ok brb, im going to go play rondo on my piano and then copyright it and sue you for all your G moneys.

                            Freak, None of the song's needed permission yet because nobody has copyrighted them, mostly because hardly anyone can even preforrm Caprice.
                            Dont take life so seriously, You\'ll never escape it alive anyways.
