Two extra tracks in the mogg file are a stereo track of a crowd singing along to the song. These tracks are pointed out in the songs.dta as "crowd" audio (just like how it specifies which tracks are the bass or drum audio) and they get weird pan values outside the normal -1 to 1 range that tell the game to play the audio through the rear surround speakers (if your setup supports it). The rest is handled by the game's own engine since Rock Band 3 knows how to run custom crowd audio in order to be backwards compatible with old DLC and disc songs that have it. E: This was a reply to Helfmyselp and Id normally paste in a quote after discovering I made a new page on accident, but I'm posting from a phone.

I was just popping in on some borrowed wi-fi to say that Minidust was 100% right. Right now I'm working on two songs for a collaborative C3 pack (which I obviously can't name) but after that, I'm going to get back to work on:  and  right now!

Too soon, Orange Harrison, too soon  I thought I remembered reading way back in the day about Harmonix recording those crowd tracks in-house during lunch breaks or something? They were awesome but probably not the best use of company time.

If everyone is able to get their songs up in time, the pack in question will be an 11-pack.Nyxyxylyth posted:"Trouble"... "all that"... you're grossly overestimating the difficulty. Five minutes to watch the tutorial video, 15 minutes to download the tools, a couple customs, and get it done. This can't be overstated! Customs are really, really easy to set up. I'd say it's even easier than the Rock Band Harmonies Project process (though you can do both!) The time investment is a non-issue; the only real concern is the chance of losing your offline scores, which can be avoided if you're careful.

You're way off. To improve C3's mainstream advisability, we are only going to release public domain material from October onward. The 11-pack in question is the first batch of Edison Cylinders, with multitracks isolated by me for a truly interactive 1890's experience. Other hits you can expect in the near future include "Good King Wenceslas", "Frère Jacques", and "All Coons Look Alike To Me" (With Pro support!)

[6:46:55 PM] esphermercury: THANKS FOR THE RBHP MENTION ON SA PKSAGE WITH A LINK TO THE AWESOME BOUNCE VIDEO poo poo. This week also features a slew of Rock Band Harmonies Project releases! Harmonies upgrades include Metallica 01, all of the RB1 on-disc songs from the European release, five songs from the RB2 bonus DLC, The Subways, and a bunch of others! Several songs also got keys added, including the sleeper hit "Bounce" from the RB2 20 free songs. I swear this song is N*SYNC with guitars. Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjJ4z2w4fn8 And check out RBHP as a whole, if you haven't. It's an excellent addition to any RB setup, whether you use customs or not, and it's totally legal. One day every Harmonix-authored song will have harmonies! Even if that day is literally years from now at espher's current rate, the poor overworked guy! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqaskL0yRMGBdHF0VUVCaHBITUI1cS1KaGpBejBmTlE&pli=1#gid=28

Seriously, I love the RBHP. It effectively makes an "RB3 Version" for a bunch of old songs that I hoped would get that treatment. I guess it didn't turn out to be financially viable for Harmonix to do more of those, but thankfully espher's been on it!It's definitely more tricky to set up than customs, but once you get the hang of it you'll be glad you did. I'll be glad to answer any questions about the process if pksage doesn't beat me to it.

elf help book posted:Can I lose my offline scores setting it up? Hmm, for some reason I can't find the install guide, so here's the quick copy I saved: Quick Install (will nuke offline scores): 1. Delete cache on 360 HD and power off 2. Load new Upgrades and Dummy file onto main thumb drive 3. Disconnect HD 4. Turn on 360 5. Launch RB3 and have it build initial cache on thumb drive 6. Turn off 360 and reconnect HD 7. Turn on 360, log onto all profiles, then launch RB3 8. Have it build complete cache, then return to Dashboard 9. Move cache and Upgrades file onto HD. Delete Dummy file from thumb drive. 10. Enjoy Slow Install (should preserve offline scores): 1. Copy songs to be upgraded onto spare flash drive plus one extra track (not actually sure if this is needed) 2. Disconnect spare drive and boot into RB3 3. Delete songs to be upgraded from song select screen 4. Go back to Dashboard, reconnect spare drive and move extra DLC back (see note above) 5. Disconnect spare drive then launch RB3 again to rebuild cache 6. Go back to Dashboard, reconnect spare drive and move upgrade and dummy files over. 7. Disconnect spare drive then launch RB3 again to rebuild cache 8. Go back to Dashboard, reconnect spare drive, move upgraded songs over and delete dummy files. 9. Disconnect spare drive then launch RB3 again to rebuild cache 10. Go back to Dashboard, reconnect spare drive and backup cache file. As you can see, the slow version can be sloooooooooooooooooooooow, primarily because of step 3. Hope you didn't buy everything as singles!

Rock Band is the second biggest reason why my music collection is so big now. (Number one being the iPod). I've downloaded (legally) 7 albums and bought about 40 CDs specifically from hearing their songs in Rock Band. Some were even RBN CDs! (Children of Nova never got the recognition they deserved).

After having put a custom hard disk inside my 360 and being disappointed with the results I really doubt that that speed of the USB device really matters as long as it's not utter garbage. (So any name brand device ought to be fine.)

Anyone still playing this on PS3? I'm NotDigital on PSN and I primarily play expert guitar/bass, occasionally vocals. I've got a lot of DLC but if you're a perfectionist no need to add me because I'm not interested - I play purely for fun, occasionally intoxicated. If you're looking for the same feel free to add me.
