Custom Music Question

[jkrat005]

Does anyone know how to cue it to a specific part of a song to play at the appropriate times. For example, If i want the middle of a song to play when the batter comes up how can i do that?

I don't have the game, but I'm guessing you can't do that. You'll have to edit the music file yourself on your computer for the part you want and then add it to the playlist.

Re: Custom Music Question

google mp3 workshop xp thats what i used and its free cut the song to your liking, get it to your 360 and roll. im assuming you kno how to get it in the game from there. each song has to be its own playlist unless you want it to rotate

Re: Custom Music Question

I think in 2k5 you had to press one of the analog sticks in to bring up the time edit menu thingy.Might be the same in 2k8.

How do you get the music into the game

Re: Custom Music Question

Rip a cd into the 360 then create a playlist and put the songs you want in there.The playlist you just created should show up when you try to add music in 2k Beats.

you can stream it from your computer, create a playlist file with windows media or winamp and save it in your shared music folder (assuming you already have your 360 networked with your computer) and the playlist will show up. I would not recommend this if you are using a wireless adapter though.

thats how it seems...but once i have the patience to do that it will be very worth it! I will prob wait though until they fix the framerate issue to do anything like that though

I'm not sure cause I don't have the game, but in 2k5 you could browse through the playlist and pick whatever song you wanted from that certain list.

Like, say you made a playlist for Heavy Metal music only...You could browse through all the songs in that particular playlist and select which Heavy Metal song you want the player to come out to.You didn't have to create a playlist for each song.I don't think you'll have to in 2k8 either, cause that wouldn't make much sense.

If it's the exact same thing as 2k5's custom soundtrack, you'll be able to set which minute and second the song will start off, by simply pressing one of the analog sticks in to bring up the song length edit menu.


*EDIT*: I'm only guessing that it is like 2k5's custom soundtrack, because it seems exactly the same from what I have heard people say about it.The same scenarios can have music added to them in 2k8 as in 2k5...Examples: Solo HR , 2-Run HR, 3-Run HR, Grand Slam ,Walk, top/bot of inning over,before/end of game etc..

no way to choose what song as far as I can see, right now you would have to create a playlist for each song unless you just want random songs playing.
