Remember when developer Harmonix vowed that if they ever added custom music creation to Rock Band, they wouldn't do a half-assed job? They revealed exactly what they were talking about this morning with the announcement of the Rock Band Network -- a comprehensive suite of music authoring tools for the rhythm game. As promised, this isn't the sort of limited, sample-reliant toolset offered by the competition; Rock Band Network is designed to allow musicians -- from garage bands to the guys rocking sold-out arenas -- to generate Rock Band tracks from their own master recordings. Bands will be able to chart their own note highways, tweak character animations and effects, and select from several different pricing tiers before submitting their custom tracks to the in-game music store.
"Our goal with Rock Band has always been to go beyond making music games and create a true music platform," Harmonix CEO and co-founder Alex Rigopulos explained. "With the Rock Band Network, we've evolved the platform to its next logical step, giving players access to an incredible amount of new music by putting the professional tools we use in the hands of the artists themselves."

News of Rock Band's new gamer-driven network which allows artists to upload and price their own music, didn't come without a warning and some help from Microsoft's Xbox Live Enforcement Squad. The Rock Band Network, which launches later this year for the 360, has artists submit their songs to a group of "Harmonix-trained freelance game developers" who will prep the tracks for use in game.
The group will also be on the look at for things like over-the-top profanity and copyright infringement, Stephen Toulouse
program manager in charge of policy and enforcement for Xbox Live, told Kotaku.
"We actually went out to Harmonix in March and talked to them about what if someone made a really obscene song," Toulouse said.
Toulouse said he isn't too concerned about a copyrighted song or obvious obscenity sneaking through to the marketplace because of the human filters Harmonix has put in place.
"The chances of it making it through the system is very low," he said. "They are using the community games pipeline which can report directly to us."
And Toulouse's team is involved both before the music is released and afterward, he said.
The trip to Harmonix in March is just an example of one of the ways the Live Enforcement Squad is working to make Live a safe and fun place for both gamers and publishers, he said.

Me encanta mano...tenemos mas de 40 canciones fácil, que podríamos pasar por ahí, todo va a depender del $$ que haya que meter, el costo, y de quién al final de día va a ser el que se quede con el $ si es que se genera algo (aunque la verdad, ni me interesa es tremenda oportunidad)... poder hacerlo estaría cabrón la verdad...inclusive si se hicieran cd's enteros yo no vacilaría en tirar lo nuevo por ahí, y de paso esto me haría volver al estudio y ver de que forma la musica puede ser mejorada para el juego...lo que sí me gustaría ver de cualquier developer es mas instrumentos, al menos, una seccion de vientos/piano/synth, 5-8 botones, esto abriría aún mas...

The system will work similarly to Microsoft's Community Games, with tracks being approved for quality, playability, and content by the rest of the community before the tracks are available for purchase
