Games We Love but Wish We Could Love Playing
7 hours 15 mins ago
A new feature for Guitar Hero: World Tour has been revealed today, which lets users of the PC transfer MIDI tracks to the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game. Sadly, the 360 version will only allow drums tracks because of "hardware issues".
"If you really want to compose on your PC, obviously you're going to use the samples in-game, but if you really want to compose on PC or turn your band's MIDI...into a GH Tunes song, you can do that," said Brian Bright, the Neversoft project director.
"You can press play on the computer, and if you have it connected through MIDI, you can record into the music studio."
When asked about the specifics of the recording process, Bright noted that "it's going to take an FAQ on the Guitar Hero site--it's not something that your average user is gonna do."
"If you're a musician or you do any sequencing, it really just makes the pathway to getting your songs in the game that much easier--once you get it down. We just really want to give people enough tools to be able to make good music," he concluded.
