If you've heard of a group called Spyro Gyra then I'm pretty much thinking of that group.

Oh man, my dad used to listen to Spyro Gyra all the time while working in his workshop... he swore by smooth jazz for woodworking.
He used to call them Spyro Gyro too lmao


/nostalgia

I'm stepping some jazz myself for this pack, Giant Steps by John Coltrane. Classic bebop, rather the opposite end of the jazz spectrum from Spyro Gyra.

Will there be any exceptions for the number of stepcharts we must use if the song is very long? I do remember GD giving some exceptions to long songs on his FFR Community Packs; in those cases, said steppers stepped only one chart. Just curious as to what you think about that.

(the song I'm thinking of stepping is exactly 5 minutes and it probably isn't going to be one bpm and go; syncing's probably going to be difficult)

An excuse to step metal? If only I could step still. o_o

not a rule, just my 2¢:

I think it's worth it for everyone to make at least one extra chart, even if there are fewer total submissions as a result. With such a long song, I see no problem with simply copying the existing chart and watering down tough sections. Shouldn't take more than an hour.

I would strongly suggest you try making another chart anyway.
If there really is nothing else you can step except your chart, see if you can find someone to collab with you on another chart. I bet there's lots of people out there who would love a fully synced song to try stepping their way.

I'm having that problem with Giant Steps right now actually, there isn't much except the sax in that song haha (and it's nearly 5 minutes because something in me doesn't want to cut this masterpiece even though I know I eventually will)
But I'm making an easier chart by stepping the piano chords instead. So I think there's always something else you can do.

If you continue to have problems even finding someone to collab with PM me we'll see if we can work something out.

can I step Nicki Minaj?

Honestly yeah, that sounds great. Modern American pop music seems not to be very well-represented in the stepping scene, honestly.

p.s. my dirty little music secret is that I love nearly every Nicki Minaj song haha
I've always wanted to step Starships. Would be a good color gimmick/BPM gimmick file IMO

do you also have a policy for already released files

Not allowed unless they are re-charted.
And by virtue of the fact it's already been stepped (by you) means it's already more "Stepman music" than otherwise so I'll probably judge such a file a little more strictly.

Good question though, added to the OP.

An excuse to step metal? If only I could step still. o_o

Yeah man there's a lot of good classic rock and metal that are both well-known and would make for excellent stepfiles.
As a preemptive measure I'll remind people to not step songs that are already stepped for a rhythm game, however.
I'd love if someone were to send me some Black Sabbath files, just don't pick Paranoid please (it was on Rock Band)

Also if anyone is looking for a good challenge, I dare someone to step Asian/Bluegrass fusion:

Such as Katy Hill by Mei Han's Red Chamber with John Reischman and the Jaybirds

It's on iTunes and you can get the CD online too, something I've always meant to get and never really got around to it.

oh this looks promising

good luck (i hope you wont accept dubstep by the way xd)

In general most generic dubstep is going to get rejected, yeah.
While dubstep is not truly "stepman music" the way say power metal or breakcore are, there's still whole damn packs dedicated to it so I hardly feel bad rejecting generic dubstep from this pack.


But who knows maybe there is some dubstep/Gregorian chanting fusion out there or something... Like I said, surprise me :P

EDIT- LMFAO I love it when I'm wrong

Yes I would accept this song, good luck making a fun file out of it though >_<

Re: [4-key Pack] hi19hi19's Non-Stepman Music Pack [Submissions Open]

who knows, i might even surprise you! (or not xd)

I do have a few songs I want to submit. Might give me some motivation to look for some songs. Needs more piano and jazz fusion songs /o/ also, willing to collab on Chillin' by George Duke
