you don't know what a MIDI is?

do you know what an AVI is? or an MPEG?
an MP3? or an MP4?
tell me you've at least heard of a QTVR, or at least a MOV...

What do you ppl do with the internet?

I don't know why, but when i convert my MP3 to OGG, the music gets toooooo slow inside FoF, but in any other outside player, it's normal...
The notes in FoF are in the right speed, but the music......... damn!

I would say, once you have done it a couple of times, its just as easy as freetar. but learning it is a bit harder. I can do a multi track / multi player song in about 4 - 5 hours

I gave up after I discovered the tempo wasn't the hardest part.

How comes I still have to play the song all from the beginning to hear it? If I move to a different part of the song and press play it is all silenced

I've worked the whole day with a song using a midi file.

Then it just got deleted for no reason.

I'm so ******* pissed right now

hey, great tutorial, helps a lot, just a couple of questions.

for tempo changing, the method you said works for small songs but if you try and do it with like a 15 min dream theater song, the tiny differences in tempo get bigger and bigger. I could try and increase the tempo for a small part of the song and decrease it again but thats not too easy since its hard to tell exactly when the sync starts going off by too much. I was wondering if there was a way to change the tempo numerically instead of through the pencil tool?

also a lot of songs have more than 1 guitar track, because of things like effect changes, is there a way to fuse 2 tracks together without moving them out of place?

thanks, and sorry if these questions already got answered

You can change the tempo numerically yes. In the box that says tempo oddly enough Lol, you can even type in decimal numbers E.G. 123.35 BPM.
And yes you can , simply copy and paste from 1 track to the other. If you cant get it to sit in the right place, you can allways cheat... I like cheating :) if you add a single " really small" note right at the very begining of the song, then copy and paste that track into the second track, If it is out of place all oyu have to do it note shift the track Left until that first note is back at the begining, then you know it has to be in the right place, then just delete that note at the begining. So really your just temproraly adding a visual marker to recognise, when you copy and paste.

A question: When you make songs with midis, how do you know where the note will be in frets on fire?

I made a song with your tutorial, but i messed up a little at the ending. I tried to edit using song editor in FoF but the notes are not showing there.
