Our Process
From Rock Band song creation through to peer review and final release, our goal is to compliment your music with the best gaming experience possible. The 5 steps listed give a high level overview of what is needed to create a Rock Band version of your songs.
Send Us Your Music
Once we have had a few conversations and agreed to work together, the first step toward creating your Rock Band track is to send us your music. What we specifically need from you to get started includes the master stems for your song and a lyric sheet. We might also ask for a few images to feature on our site and blog giving you a little extra promotion at the same time.

Rock Band Song Creation
When we have everything we need, it’s time to get your music ready for the Rock Band audience. While emphasis is placed on mapping the individual instrument and vocal parts for your song, all aspects of making a Rock Band song are delivered during this step. This includes character animations, additional sound effects, the venue, the camera control and the lighting.
Throughout this stage of the process we will make every effort to involve you and your band members.
Time to Complete: 1 to 3 weeks depending on track difficulty
Audition Mode
Are you ready for this? Once your song has been created and packaged for Rock Band, it’s time to give it a test drive. Audition mode is only available locally so we have a couple of options for this step.
1. If possible, join us at our studio for an in person run through of your song in action.
2. If not, we will send you a high-resolution screen capture of your game in action.
This is the next to final version of your Rock Band song and an opportunity to provide us with any additional feedback before we submit the song for peer review.
Time to Complete: 2 to 5 days
Peer Review And Publication
You’re happy, we’re happy and the time has come to see what the community thinks. Rock Band Network uses a community driven peer review process to approve songs for final submission. The community is comprised of registered Rock Band authors and creators who collectively set the standard of quality for the game.
Once your song passes peer review, it is immediately published and available for purchase to millions of Rock Band users worldwide!
Time to Complete: 1 to 2 weeks
Play It, Get Paid And Enjoy
That’s it! Once the song has been approved and released you can kick back and enjoy your increased exposure and income. At this point you are probably wondering how you get paid right? Well that is covered here.
