[WIP] These Copyrighted Songs You Like, Actually

Leading Idea

-A small songpack (~20 songs)
-Focusing mainly on "mainstream" or "hit" songs that aren't already in a DDR release
-Every song cut down to 1:20 ~ 2:20
-Pad single only
- for every song + for about 1/10
-Old rating system (1~10)
-Banner + Background for every song, No video

Files to come :


What I'm planning to add :

No Stress by Laurent Wolf (no opinon on this one)
Jealousy by Martin Solveig
American Boy by Estelle
Definitely some Mika
Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen (sorry but I like this one)
some Black Eyed Peas
Sweet Escape by Gwen Stefani (like that one also sry)
Tik Tok by Ke$ha
some Shakira
Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO (maybe already in a well known pack ?)
some Coldplay (I'll do it even thought I don't like coldplay)

Small talk

-Even thought only one file is done so far, I'm really willing to continue and to finish this thing
-I'm not an incredible step artist, I quite like stops/BPM gimmicks and stuff, but still I know what's to avoid absolutely
-I'm sorry if you don't like my song selection, I just watched a top 100 of 2000-2013 songs in French speaking europe (btw Dragostea din tei was first lawl) and picked the ones I don't hate, so it might not contain the American musical successes that didn't made it through Europe.
-Anyway this selection is just a rough idea of what I will maybe start to work with sooo ...
-I don't think I will need any technical help 'cuz I'm already comfortable with audio/image/video editing software.
-Should I make a r21-ready version ?

You can !

-Help me step some Licenced Songs YOU like if you're willing to !
-Help me with the foot rating
-Help me grab HQ audio files
-Suggest songs YOU like !
-Tell me if YOU think anything is irrelevant, missing or should be changed because this pack will be made for YOU, it's These Copyrighted Songs YOU Like, Actually
-Correct my dreadful Engrish grammar
-Ask me to up files for preview

Please don't ...

-Ask me to add video bg (it's a pain to sync it with recent versions of stepmania)
-Steal my work
-Ask me to step a longer or another short version of a song if one stepfile is already done

Toxic shouldn't be on the list is it was on DDR SuperNOVA

---

Ok removed (I think the supernova one is a remake, but anyway they sound the same)

Yes the SN one was a remix but that means its still the song so yeah its been in DDR your welcome

---

yes YES yES YeS HAVE MY CHILDREN

"copyrighted" doesn't seem to be the correct word since konami originals are copyrighted too

---

Nice. I'd love to help make some charts for you. I am currently working on this simfile project, so I was wondering if I help make some songs, that you would let me feature some of these songs in my pack. I am currently working on Animals by Martin Garrix, and if you want, I will let you use that song in your pack. So, what's the deal?

---

i.e. licensed as in Konami licenses them to put in the game.

so yeah, licensed would be a good word.

For the record, it'd be more grammatically correct to say "These Copyrighted Songs You Actually Like."

And I'm working on a mainstream pack with ~20 songs as well, if you'd like to use any then feel free. Maybe I make the steps and you make the graphics?

Here is a link to my pack, nobody's posted there in a while but I'm still working on it behind the scenes.

Could I use some of yours for my pack? I will credit for sure.

---

Thanks everyone for your replies !


Ok, moved to Confirmed


So should I put back the old banner ?



Or maybe this one for the sake of grammar (thank you Astroman129 for your noticing it )




Thank you very much for asking, I'm ok to do a 1:1 shared songs ratio (I take one song you stepped, and in exchange you can take one I did), sounds good for you ?


Great ! Thank you very much, Making the graphics is fine for me, just one thing : if you have an idea of what you want it to look like, tell me because I'm not that creative when making graphics

Had me at "Fascination", lost me at Alphabeat. Was expecting The Human League. Disappointed.

No it doesn't; it means that the remix has been in, not the original song. The planned list was including the original, not the remix. Besides, whether we go by your logic or not, OP is including D.A.N.C.E while knowing fully well it was on HP2, so I see no problem including one other song that has been on DDR before (even though, again, it wasn't).

---

A year back, I did a set of charts for a recut of D.A.N.C.E. for the TrotMania project. I'm perfectly fine with offering it to your project, and you're of course free to not include the video.

Here's the simfile link and here's a video of the harder charts:

Great ! Thank you so much !
So I'll just to make a few changes :
-Add a custom bg
-Remove video
-Remove chart
-Change rating (to me it's a 3 6 9)
Also I would like to add your own cdtitle (or you want to be credited another way maybe ?)

Since I heard your good at graphics, maybe I was thinking if I make the chart and you make the graphics, we can use the song in both our packs. I am interested in stepping some Black Eyed Peas, Tik Tok, and definitely Party Rock Anthem. Also I think you should add Pompeii by Bastille. I am going to step that song, and you can use it in your pack if you make the graphics for it.

---

Ok for Pompeii ,moved to Confirmed , btw do you want me to cut down the song or is it ok if you do it yourself ?
dat ddr cabinet in the music video tho
Also I'm ok for graphics

I remember from DWI Extreme that they have Fascination (Orbit1 mix) [one of the L mixes]. Would be hard to top that chart but interested in seeing it.

As long as it has a constant bpm, I can cut it myself. I will work on that.

---

Oh, I was planning on stepping Pompeii as well. Do you mind if I use the graphics you make?

Just tell me if you plan on doing any of the songs in my simfile pack (linked above) and we can work something out. I don't know if you want me to step Pompeii for this pack since darkanine's doing it but maybe another song?

Oh sorry about that. When I finish the chart, if you want to make any changes, you can.
