I was looking around for the exact number that rock band songs gold starred at. This topic at scorehero goes pretty far to measure them out. http://rockband.scorehero.com/forum....start=0
So its about 1.5194794x the 5 star amount.
And apparently the PS2 ones are 10% lower than that.
Not sure if you've seen the topic, but hopefully that helps with gold star measuring, if you plan to add gold stars the rock band way.
Also for drums gold stars: http://rockband.scorehero.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2196
"it means the "magic formula" for Drums is somewhere around ~1.44x -1.45x"
I would say 1.475x or 1.48x is probably a safe universal number, since some guitar songs are actually impossible to 5 gold star with the 1.52x.

Thanks, good info. Added to the list and linked.
edit: what about like, 1 star? Right now, pretty much the first or second note you hit gets you the first star.
Do they have all 5 stars broken down by score factors, is there some other formula for this? Any idea?

From another forum a guy got these results(Tested on Detroit rock city - drums):
1 star: 0.21 - 9419
2 stars: 0.46 - 20,631
3 stars: 0.77 - 34,535
4 stars: 1.85 - 82,973
5 stars: 3.08 - 138,138
Gold stars: 4.442 - 199,224
The first number being the average multiplier. Then I thought, average multiplier would probably be the most efficient way to do the star cutoffs as well as the gold star award. Maybe we should use it instead, since average multiplier would be calculated correctly for every song and would not have to rely on score or note amount. So In my opinion the star cutoffs should go something like this;
1 star: .2x average multiplier
2 star: .5x average multiplier
3 star: .8x average multiplier
4 star: 1.85x average multiplier
5 star: 3.1x average multiplier
Gold: 4.5x average multiplier
Though I'm not so sure on the gold, I've gotten 4.6x or 4.7x without FCing a song.
Also using average multipliers, we could see how close we were to the next star with the average multiplier display.
In case you didnt want to use average multiplier, i did some tests myself;
Heroes
1 Star: 6,600 4.5%
2 Star: 14,400 9.8%
3 Star: 24,100 16.5%
4 Star: 57,800 39.6%
5 Star: 96,200 66%
Gold: 145,700 100%
Percents compared to TOTAL score
1: 3.8%
2: 8.4%
3: 14%
4: 33.8%
5: 56%
G: 85%
170,941 100%
Mississippi Queen
1 star: 2,400 4.6%
2 star: 5,800 11%
3 star: 9,400 18%
4 star: 20,200 38%
5 star: 33,600 64.6%
Gold: 52,000 100%
Percents Compared to TOTAL score
1: 3.9%
2: 9.4%
3: 15.3%
4: 32.8%
5: 54.7%
G: 84.6%
61,376 100%
I know that it isn't based on the number of notes since one person achieved a star while holding a note.
1 star: 0.21 - 9419
2 stars: 0.46 - 20,631
3 stars: 0.77 - 34,535

On GH3 you can get gold stars based on any song you hit 100% of the notes, regarless of the multiplier. In fact on my easy and medium carreers, I try to get 3 gold stars, which is more challenging to do without dying that just getting 5 stars. You can break every streak and still get gold stars. So average multiplier could be used for RB but the GHs should determine gold stars by percent of notes hit solely.
Might be working on DH2

Download Patch - New in 2.801 (from 2.800):
Download lsapg's 2.801 Full Version installer package: all 5 themes, ~150 MB, MegaUpload host
++Fixed guitar solo restart bug
++Changed a couple of the default setting selections to provide a much quicker-loading / better-performing game with a blank fretsonfire.ini file and no settings changes:
+++++Rock Band themes overdrive neck glow defaults to OFF
+++++Library count, rotation, and neck selection all default to OFF initially
+++++The default theme, if none is selected, will be "RbMFH" instead of "Gh3" since I consider it to be the main theme of this mod
For the love of god, please read the changelog
