So I charted drums for my song so my friend could try it out. Went to compile and I keep getting this strange error.

There doesn't seem to be a problem at the 92nd measure in my song so I don't know what's going on...unless it means something else. That is also at about 4:04 in my song and at the same time, when I drag/drop my midi file into Song Analyzer, it says the length is 4:04, the song is actually about 5:11 (as per the .wav). I assume these 2 things have something to do with each other...

You have to adjust your [end] event so that it's positioned at the end of the song. I believe this is stated in the beginner's tutorial. Go into reaper, open the events track, and look for the [music end] and [end] text events at the bottom. Move them to the end of the song, with the [music end] event being positioned just before [end]. Magma won't compile if you have any notes charted after the [end] event.

Ah, thank you. Now all I'm getting is the

I don't really know what could be causing this. I have a note at the start of every difficulty for every track.

Those tracks may be named incorrectly.

[Spindoctor]

If I read this right why would you try to compile a drums only song with guitar & bass & vocals? Uncheck them in magma unless you have actually charted more than one note.

[Jordan]

Those tracks may be named incorrectly.

I'm using the C3 template, they should already be named correctly.

 

And oh, I was not aware I could just uncheck them.

[Jordan]

Eh, I guess it doesn't matter.

 

Song is on the database and in my WIP thread for anyone that wants to try it out! It is not finished yet but the drums are playable.

It is possible that you have the guitar/bass/vocal tracks muted in reaper.

I was just having this same problem almost two years later, and this was the solution; the MIDI tracks were muted.  Thanks!
