Any way to request songs?

PurpleKnot · 09-12-2011, 08:21 AM

I realize that you can't upload songs which is a big bummer! But is there a way you can request songs?

justin_ator · 09-12-2011, 10:28 AM

Depends on what you are asking...the site doesn't support people uploading and downloading music, as it is technically illegal in a lot of places. But at the same time, if you are talking about requesting simfiles to play in StepMania, there will probably be some people willing to help you. As far as requesting for somebody to make a file for a song you want, somebody might on that as well, it just depends. I just don't know what you're asking specifically..

They should get some LMFAO songs on here. That might or might not be fun.

I have a stepped version of Mt. Parahaki's Dubstep Remix of Party Rock Anthem, and permission for FFR to use it. The judges just have to play/test/judge it to accept it into FFR.

I'm afraid not. The songs in the tournament are from queue'd files, and I believe he has yet to send his in. His wont be judged until the next batch, which isn't to be until after the tournament I believe.

As for requesting songs, the only artists whose songs we're allowed to use are in this list. We need permission before we can use someones musics.

I wish there was cause that would be a lot better to be able to request songs and get them on ffr instead of people making them cause a lot of those suck not to mention you almost have to hit those notes directly to get them.

**emulord** · 11-22-2011, 11:58 AM

^ No idea what he's saying.

It would be nice if you could email songs in whenever, and not for specific batches. Like they'd get judged in batches, but you could email whenever. I seem to always forget to send stuff in.

Goron HD · 11-22-2011, 12:01 PM

well unless they got rid of it but i remember people used to be able to make their own song and post them in the FFR game but it was like an older beta type thing which they prolly got rid of.

**psychoangel691** · 11-22-2011, 12:06 PM

Resonance or R2 is what I believe you're talking about, and yea that's been gone for a long while.

Goron HD · 11-22-2011, 12:12 PM

yea I only ever tried that like once then after that I never really liked it I never knew they took it down how come they got rid of it?

and does anyone know what I need to be able to post new threads? because I'd like to start stuff but it's been a while since I've been on this site, and I don't remember what you need.

I would guess the same reason as the simfile database. Legally we need permission from an artist to use their work.

This is actually how it used to work.

Up until the end of 2006 or so, you would send your files to Tasselfoot and he'd judge the files himself. You'd then get a personal reply from him about whether it was accepted or not, with reasonings.

Tbh, some of his reasons for rejection when I sent my early files in were pretty lame.

"rebirth stepped a pretty good file for this song so im not going to check yours. try stepping a different song maybe?"

**bmah** · 11-22-2011, 01:09 PM

I still have the old email, which I'll copy and paste. Perfect example which I've told some people already.

Quote:

gonna reject it. few reasons.

1. we already have a christmas song that we're releasing on day 12 (don't tell anyone.

)... and frankly, the song itself is much better than this one
2. gotta cut down on the jacks. a few jacks that fit well are ok... but don't forget... FFR does not handle jacks well at all. we try to use tham as infrequently as possible
3. addition to 1... only want 1 christmas song. don't want anything overly religious... cause these files will be up for years and years, not just for the next week or two.

We need so much more Dubstep! Just saying!

**rushyrulz** · 01-6-2012, 02:14 PM

nice bump.

Dubstep is tricky to step well, but there have been some really neat charts made for dubstep songs.

Yes, it would be quite difficult as I can only imagine. But they're so fun to play!
