GuitarHiro Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) Soooo... I was having a really hard time with this achievement (even though I like to think I'm decent at vocals) and just got fed up with it so I decided to make my own mp3 I can just play along side the song. I used Moneytalks here, may or may not be the best song for this kinda thing but it works. DL HERE: http://www.mediafire.com/?zmhyizi5yyg (Thanks to IVIonday for resyncing) All it is, is a mid converted to mp3 (to make it easier to use). Mp3 starts out on the first yell talky part. I found you have to sync it up a little bit sooner than you'd think. May take many tries before you get it right but I got the achievement with this exact mp3. So if you guys are desperate enough Oh, and I used this on normal single player. Might be easier with the tug of war trick with less chance of very slight accidental strong phases. But most likely if it's off slightly for one phase it will be for another one later on. Anyways, use it as you will and enjoy.

MonkeyBaconCake Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I tried using it a couple dozen times without success. It's true that you have to start the mp3 much earlier than you'd think. And it's a great idea, in that it ALMOST works perfectly. The problem for me appears to be that the speed of the mp3 is very slightly out of sync with the speed of the song in the game. I found that if I synced up the mp3 with the song, it would get a perfect through the first chorus and then start getting Okays and Weaks by the start of the second verse. I kept gradually starting the file earlier until it was so much earlier that it would miss the end of each phrase but it was okay because the dial had already filled up and kept the multiplier going. Even so, with that method I couldn't get past the second chorus, which is only halfway through the song. During that 1:30 I watched as it went from being so early it was missing the end of phrases, to being perfectly in sync, to coming in late and missing the beginning of phrases, to eventually not filling up the multiplier dial. This is a really great idea, I just couldn't get it to work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarHiro Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 Sorry to hear it didn't work for you. I ran this through audacity (to SEE when the notes begin making syncing easier). And I know exactly what you mean about it becoming slightly out of sync, I used audacity to stretch the song out slightly more than it originally was because of it. So maybe I got really lucky with my sync and it's the bare minimum. If you need to, you can dl audacity for free and change the tempo very slightly to suit your needs as I did. But it worked for me so I figured it'd work for others :/ In any case, most of the work here is done so maybe someone else can "perfect" it.

InvalidAddress Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I tried messing around with the mp3, but I'm no good with audacity. I did figure out it's 18 seconds from the 1st cymbal tap when the note highway appears till the "YEAH" that needs to be played. Figured that'd be a common start point that everyone could easily hit play at, rather than guessing when to hit it. Maybe that can help someone who's good with audio stuff.

JQTNguyen Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Thanks for the upload! I was able to get the Achievement using this file using the Tug of War Trick. However, I did find the file was, like, milliseconds off at points, which is very little difference, but with the Rock Band 1 engine's picky Vocals, was enough to throw everything off! The way I did it was to (re-)synch the file while playing as the first player in Tug of War at these time markers. 0:08 0:24 1:06 1:53 2:32 3:04 Hope this helps other people get this pain in the ass Achievement! It took me at least a half hour or hour before I finally worked out this method, and then about five attempts to get it right. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIonday Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 (edited) Great post, however like many other people already stated, it does get off at points. I adjusted it to match up enough to get the achievement. You can find my updated version of the mp3 here: http://www.mediafire.com/?zmhyizi5yyg This worked for me, all you gotta do sync it up correctly. (the mp3 starts out with the first "yeah" in the song, which is a talky part) Edited June 20, 2010 by IVIonday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuitarHiro Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 Glad people are getting it to work. I swear mine worked for me but that last export in audacity must have messed up the tempo. Thanks IVIonday for fixing it, I'll edit my first post with your link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Diddy Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I found you have to sync it up a little bit sooner than you'd think. This is the key here...I had trouble syncing them up until I started it earlier. The midi track actually needs to be a split second ahead of the actual vocal track. Other than the 4-5 times it took to get the timing down this works flawlessly. Excellent job and I could not have gotten it without your track.

spira Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I was randomly browsing my game list and decided to try the 100% expert singing achievement on this game that I've had haunting me for ages. Tried one song legit but uhh.. it wasn't a great success with my singing skills . Then I saw this thread and I was like "let's give it a try". After 3 tries I managed to sync it up with the mp3 and... achievement unlocked! thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent X Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) Outside of timing attempts, got it in ONE! Thanks! EDIT: I also used it to get the 100% vocal acheivment on Rock Band 1!

unkled20 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 A big thank you to the OP for posting this and a huge massive thank you to the person that updated the mp3. I got the achievement on my second try! Thanks again so much!!! Now if someone just had one for Track Pack 2 I could get that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyjohnathan Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Big thanks to GuitarHiro and IVIonday for the mp3. After a few attempts I knew there was no way I could get this achievement on my own. After I finally got the mp3 to sync with the game, I hit every note but one towards the end, but on my third try it finally worked out for me. Thanks again!
