You know, one of these days, I might actually be on at the right time and paying enough attention, and I might play with you! Instead, I just see you on my scoreboards.  It's actually good I haven't played with anyone lately, I've only recently tried to play bass/guitar again since I got my new tv, and I forgot about calibration until I started doing horribly.  I also don't mind new friends on PSN (Quinctia), but I do spend an inordinate amount of time trying to get high on vocal leaderboards.

Fantastic. I never would have expected to see some Lauper, let alone an awesome pack of it.

It's not a mod of any kind, you just can't be on Xbox Live while you're playing Rock Band only. You just unplug the stick when you're not playing Rock Band, and it's back to normal.

Yeah, and if you're like me and never play Rock Band online in the first place, you'll barely notice the difference! Only other possible issue is offline scores. You may find yourself moving/deleting the cache file from time to time when dealing with customs, and I think you might lose some offline scores from that? Others can explain better. I've been pretty cavalier about wiping my cache but I know some other people are invested in their scores.

What exactly causes your scores to wipe is still poorly understood. As far as I know, anyway. The scores AREN'T kept in the song cache, but we think that RB3 might force a score-wipe when you do a full cache rebuild? If you care about your offline scores, try to avoid deleting your entire cache if you can help it.

I don't care about scores so I'll be OK with that.

Analog posted: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. This reminds me, anyone on Xbox who wants another friend for scoreboards on Blitz/Pro Guitar-Bass/Pro Keys/Guitar/Harmonies, I finally plopped down to change my gamertag. It's now ORANGE HARRlSON (with a lower-case "L" standing in for "I" because "Orange Harrison" and variations are being squatted. I'm not god's gift to Blitz or anything but I can consistently top-10 lots of DLC (and hold a 1st place sweep of Jerry Naylor's catalogue, but that's RBN.)

This weekend I finally took the time to set up customs and they're amazing and fun and all of you customs authors are the best. Also, they're way easier than Rock Band Harmony Project upgrades to set up, so there's really no excuse for everybody not to ride the customs train ('n ride it, choo choo).

One of my songs in the upcoming October 18 megapack is a masterpiece. My magnum opus. My Sistene Chapel ceiling. It is the Breaking Bad of my authoring career to date. Basically, I'm saying 1) god how did it take so loving long to author this sub-5-minute song and 2) the October 18 pack is gonna be awesome. edit: Also, I authored all of this Friday's "centerpiece" songs (you'll see what I mean), and I expect to get the full weight of the internet's "ugh nothing for me this week your song choices are really going downhill". pksage fucked around with this message at 19:21 on Oct 7, 2013 |

haha oh man. So there's a date now. 11-song pack... not in Rock Band proper... I don't suppose you could spill whether or not it's a band currently represented in the C3 database?  Between that and Orange Harrison's upcoming Beatle pack, I'm really excited about upcoming customs. Who knew that the end RB3 support would be so awesome?

I'm not giving any hints about the October 18 pack (and I hope OH/Nyx/etc. won't either), because you fuckers are too smart for your own good and would figure it out. It might be a 12-pack if I can finish another song in time, because several of RB's best megapacks were 12-packs, and it's an iconic number. Also this final song totally belongs in the pack and would be a glaring omission if it wasn't there. And I'm super glad you guys have embraced customs. Seeing positive comments every week is what keeps us going.

Random guess based on nothing other than people have been requesting it. Weird Al. That, or a band a friend was talking about yesterday (that I have never listened to), The Protomen.

It's worth it to hear everyone belt out Separate Ways! Also, I wish it hadn't taken me several hours to figure out why I couldn't put so many songs on one thumb drive only using Party Buffalo. The 256 folder limit is even in the C3 FAQ and I somehow missed that for so long.  Edit: I remember this being talked about a while back, but did "Hardware Store" ever get a fix for the lyrics?

^^Technically speaking, the guitar and bass icons were licensed from Fender, so HMX doesn't really own anything there. The microphone icon, however, I can't explain away. It's pretty blaringly stolen.Flops posted:Edit: I remember this being talked about a while back, but did "Hardware Store" ever get a fix for the lyrics?

I really want George Harrison and Traveling Wilburys customs, Ever since the release of Beatles Rock Band and the release of John and Paul DLC on Rock Band 3, I hoped that Ringo and George would have their moment to shine. Yet it never happened, Dhani Harrison failed us, but hopefully the community can fix this

Yet it never happened, Dhani Harrison failed us, but hopefully the community can fix this I know this will sound like a "my uncle works at Nintendo" tall tale, but someone from HMX told me Dhani's involvement was pretty minimal and superficial, and then he went on to take all sorts of credit for things he barely/never touched. Also one internet detective speculated to my inbox that I am Dhani Harrison, by a combination of my username, my closeness to some HMX folks, apparent access to Beatles master tracks, and it turns out Dhani and I have the same birthday. An excellent conspiracy theory, but ultimately untrue.

ixnay posted:Apparently there's some new music game coming out soon and hmm a few of those achievement icons sure look familiar I saw the game at PAX and the game features a Harmonix logo among the loading screens. I asked them about it and they said that they licensed some stuff from Harmonix, iconography included. The instrument icons are the same as well as the star rating system which looks exactly the same as the Rock Band games with a radial bar around the edges that fills as you score. They tried to sell the game as a spiritual successor to Rock Band but aside from some graphics I can't begin to see how. The achievements makes it sound like it has something similar to the career mode of the previous games but they weren't showing any of that when I demoed it.

I guess that seems like a sensible thing to do when they already would have had to pay HMX licensing to use their 3D note scroll HUD.

I'd only heard of it and somehow was under the impression that it was some kind of 90's alternative/indie band. However thanks to customs I now really love the band. They're better at combining prog and pop than Rush. I've adopted the same approach to customs as I had to RBN, meaning I try to listen to every song they put out if I don't know or recognize it and decide whether I like it enough to download (which considering the songs are now free tends to be a very lax appraisal ).

C3 releases for October 11, 2013: New! (Arguably) Indie 3-pack (pksage)
We also released a 4-pack of original songs by one of our authors, but it's GHtunes-y and probably not of interest to SA. Here's the first release of three consecutive weeks that have been taking up all of my authoring time! I think all three of my songs are pretty fun and you should get them. I had to reconstruct Gimme Sympathy's mix from a package of like 70 individual stems, and it kind of sucks, but it should be good enough for most people. The main downside is the snare and kicks not being punchy enough. TrojanNemo has been pulling an Orange Harrison and doing audio magic to our songs to split out stems, so Zak and Sara has a karaoke stem and Hold It In has full multitracks. Sweet! The hair metal pack is obviously a must-have too. Power Ballads R Us.

Holy crap I picked a good time to get into customs because that indie pack is basically made for me! "Gimme Sympathy" is just an unbelievably great song and I always hoped we would get it in the wake of "Combat Baby." Also: Power ballads rule.
