Awesome, thanks so much. I laughed. And yeah, it's a stupid name, I made it back in 2005. One day I'll change it! If it helps, I have David Bowie pack 01, just hit a patch of unemployment when 2 came out, and didn't go back to rectify that issue when I got a job. Thanks again!!

Welp, my kick pedal is officially done. It's only hitting 98% of the notes, and actually overhits sometimes too. No amount of pausing to fiddle with it helps anymore. And I just failed Crazy Train because it stopped registering drum hits altogether for about five seconds. (I suck at the end of Crazy Train so that may have helped) So, decent place to buy a pedal online? Or should I think about getting a new kit? (since I'm still using my RB1 drumset, but not nearly as often so a base set may do fine) EDIT: 12 seconds on Amazon and I saw this drumset for $117, so I think I'll pick that up. Question still stands on the drum pedal, though. SatansBestBuddy fucked around with this message at 08:04 on Aug 18, 2013 |

However I'd advise that the few times I've used this (at a friend's house so not extensively) I've had lots of trouble with the bass pedal double hitting. Was never sure what to do about it.

Still need to borrow a copy of RB1 so I can transfer those songs AGAIN and get the Export for RB2. Still need to get those RHCP tracks before the DLC gets pulled.

That's a much better deal.

Given the clues, I'll go with Please Please Me, Penny Lane and Let it Be. Minidust has probably already guessed correctly, though.Geographica posted:'Across the Universe' is the real version (e.g. not symphonic). And it even has Pro Guitar & Bass. In other news: If you're one of those first-world people whose Fender replica Strats keep falling off of your cheap guitar stands, I can recommend picking up a couple of Ultimate stands for $59.98 shipped: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/ultimate-support-gs-100-genesis-single-guitar-stand-2-pack-w-free-cables Includes two free 1/4" cables to use as jump ropes, or something.

El Destructo posted:The C3 song database says it has no bass or pro parts. OH, you might want to check the details they posted for correctness. The song has no bass part whatsoever; Geographica probably just said "Pro Guitar & Bass" out of habit. I just checked, and the Pro Guitar part has been correctly listed since Friday, as far as I can tell. It's just a 0-dot difficulty.

Eric Pope and Aaron Trites said in the Harmonix livestream show this afternoon that they're releasing 5000 DLC codes of 160 MS Points that can be used toward any song you want in this Friday's newsletter: http://eepurl.com/cMCrs Also giving away thousands of codes at PAX this weekend.

I finally got to play some customs songs. However, some of my regular dlc, already on the hard drive, didn't work. All the custom songs worked, but 4 or 5 single song dlc songs didn't work and had the error, "unable to load song." Any ideas?

My guess is that they were licensed to a console that's not the one you're currently using. When you download anything from Live, there's two bits of DRM info that gets attached to it: Gamertag and console ID. In order for the DRM to be unlocked, it either has to be used on said console that first downloaded it or the Gamertag that downloaded it has to be connected to Live. Since you're playing with customs the latter option isn't possible, so you have to be on the console that first downloaded it in order to use it. You can follow these steps in order to relicense everything to your current console and get yourself sorted.

I license transferred all my stuff to this 360 two years ago and have never bought anything on another 360. Last week, I put 100 custom songs on my 360. Immediately, the Lego Rock Band export, the Doors free pack, the 20 song free RB2 pack, Limelight as made famous by, and the Police Pack 1 gave the Unable to Load Song error. I deleted and redownloaded the affected songs, and now they work just fine. If it's the same thing I encountered, it's not a license transfer issue.

Tyree posted:Same console and HD since RB1, I had the same thing happened when I used to buy DLC at a friend's house (but on my Gamertag) on Rock Band nights. The "gamertag" license was mine since I downloaded it there the "console" license was on my friend's box. The transfer steps are very easy these days and you'll just need to "redownload" the songs; it's almost instantaneous since it really only downloads the new license. Does anyone know if there's a way to tell which files need to have a new license downloaded? I've only done it once or twice but I'd be loathe to dig through hundreds of songs for the handful that don't have the rights correctly unlocked. Edit: Beaten, but since we're talking about licenses anyway, has anyone had difficulty redownloading the RB2 export pack? When a friend had his Xbox stolen, we could never find that export pack anywhere in the RB3 menus or the xbox.com download history.

That's where I got my Lego Rock Band, Doors pack, and RB2 20 free songs back from. I'd recommend you don't scroll through that list too quickly, because it has a tendency to pop a "Your request can not be completed" type error if you hit the bumper to page down. Just scroll down nice and slowly, and you'll get to it. This is video gaming in 2013. Bionic fucked around with this message at 05:48 on Aug 27, 2013 |

Bionic posted:I don't know about outside the game, but if it's the Unable to Load Song error, they have the RB graphic instead of album art and don't play the audio preview when you have them selected. It wasn't fun checking all 962 songs, but I'd rather do it once and know I got them all. You can also get your download history on the Xbox.com website. You can queue the downloads to your Xbox from the site, and it's much easier.

I only saw the bit of Chocolate Rain that's in the preview video, but it looks like the piano part is playing chords rather than the main melody/that the main melody isn't being played on any instrument? Now I'm far from an expert on this stuff and could be way off, but in he event I'm not: is that the case?  Either way, interesting week! For a Group X song I think Mario Twins would have been more fun, but either way I like this week. It's solid.

Now I'm far from an expert on this stuff and could be way off, but in he event I'm not: is that the case? Re: Chocolate Rain -- The song is like 5 minutes long, apparently, and the author has Keys/PK play the right hand for most of the song with the occasional left-hand section to break up the monotony. If that's all the preview video shows, that was just an unfortunate editing coincidence. Re: Group X -- Mario Twins and Schfifty-Five are definitely better-known, but this song is special to me and my wife; we quote it at each other like idiots all the time. It also fits the Rock Band instrument model fairly well, and frankly was easier to chart than the other two. (Laziness is a large part of my customs authoring decisions.) Also I totally flew off the handle and posted a rant in the release thread for this week on our forums! You should go check it out if you want to drink the tears and rage of a self-destructing community.

It probably takes about an hour to set up the first time just because you're "what the hell am I doing wrong" for that time and then it clicks. After that I take it that it becomes easier.
