Looking to make songs. Where do i start?

[a1ltobeg0dly]

Hello everyone; i have been a member on the FoF forums forever, and been playing rock band/guitar hero/phase shift/ Fof forever. I want to get into making songs, but i have no idea where to start.

I've tried making a song in EOF, but it just seems so tedious the way i'm doing it hand by hand for each note and trying to sync by ear. There must be a easier way, and if not atleast i will know lol. Anyone have any tips for a starter?

Syncing audio will be easier if you can see the waveform of your tracks.

sounds to me like you are not beat mapping the song before placing notes, with a proper beat map and grid snap things will be MUCH easier and faster.

There's a lot of documentation for EOF, but you will get the most out of it if you read through it. At least read the tutorial.

Read this, I have made one song with it, can make another but don't want.
