Topic: I want to get Castlevania Music in Rock Band

[Givem2me]

Hi.  I don't know how many of you play Rock Band or to what degree, but there is a new platform called Rock Band Network that allows artists to allow "charters" to upload their music and set a price point for downloadable content.  This is completely different than traditional downloadable music which would be like if Red Hot Chili Peppers contracted to have Harmonix (the developers of Rock Band) put their music in Rock Band for download.  Rock Band 3 is due out in October and it incorporates Lead Guitar, Bass, Drums, a Keyboard, and Vocals.

The interesting thing about Rock Band Network is that much more fringe stuff can be added on the cheap.  There are quite a few insrumentals available due to this.  Even some classical stuff.  I think the Castlevania Theme, particularly the Symphony of the Night intro would be a ton of fun to play in Rock Band, and it would sell decently, as there are a lot of nostalgic players.  Plus, it would actually be nice advertisement for the series.

Does anyone have any ideas about who I could contact to make this suggestion?

I have done a little dabbling for StepMania or some other game like that, but I'd love to do the percussion for The Tragic Prince. :3
My music software would let me have separate waveforms for the 'master'.

Anyone know more about this?  I'd give it away for free, haha.

well theres track editors for stuff like Frets on Fire and all that stuff can be converted into GuitarHero/Rock Band/etc format and with other tools you can make custom isos to play on modded consoles like wii and 360. Theres a SHIT TON of custom tracks out there made by lots of ppl. Theres even some pretty popular custom iso releases of guitar hero 3

I dunno how much it coulda changed since I last messed with it (guitar hero 5 I think it was) but the ingame studio stuff was basically too fuckin hard to do anythin with...

In order to go about this, you'd have to figure out who owns the rights to the music, convince them that they can make some money and generate buzz for the franchise.  You have a nice target market for the work.  People who play Rock Band buy video games (obviously), so you are not just getting money for the downloads but nice pub as well. 

From there, you pay $100 per year (which I would personally sponsor for the first year), and turn the music files over to any number of studios who chart the stuff for a cut of the gate.  It takes Zero effort on the part of the artist once we identify who has the rights and turn over the master tracks.
