If that's all the preview video shows, that was just an unfortunate editing coincidence. That stuff is super interesting! Yeah, I guess when you think about it the keys part of Chocolate Rain is probably absurdly repetitive, right?

I'm sorry about the crap you guys have to put up with after spending your time working on things for no compensation and out of kindness to the community. I appreciate the work that goes into creating these customs and am thankful for the time you put into it.

No yeah you guys are seriously doing some amazing-rear end stuff. I mean, for pete's sake, after next week, you'll have gone into your sixth month of operation! You champs have been doing a great job, and I only wish I had the free time to spend trying to add some tunes to aid the cause. Ha, I mean, heck, I've dreamt of my own little 'Internet Songs Collection,' and none of the ones I thought of were in here. You want it in, you chart it yourself, eh? Oh this obviously goes to the fellas with the Harmonics Project and the Guitar Hero conversion project as well, wherever they are. I am in awe of everyone's talent and dedication as has been presented thus far!

The customs creators collective is the best thing to happen to Rock Band since Pro mode. It's gotta be stupidly time consuming and I know you don't make a dime from it, but I'm so happy you guys are around. Rock Band is already the best music game under the sun, and you people are making it that much better every week you continue. Thank you, sincerely.

Welp, a recent HDD failure means I have to redownload everything you've ever released, ever. You bastards need to pick more B-sides and personal favourites causing I've got like 90% of your catalog to download and it's really annoying just how many songs you guys put out that I can't go without now that I know they're there. Stop having awesome taste in music choices, okay? But in all seriousness, thanks. If I wasn't an anti-social troglodyte all these songs would be massive hits at those parties I could be having.

So I just got home from PAX and a startling number of people at the Rock Band stage know me by name (and really really love me). I mean, I know people like my stuff, but I guess I have a straight-up following now and I was being treated like a celebrity by strangers that follow everything I do and knew everything about me before meeting me.  If you're a PAX attendee, drop by the RB stage (by the cafe, not the HMX booth). You can point out how funny I look in real life and play customs (which we are running on the PAX stage). Also, just as many people in real life ask me to make Hey Jude already as they do on the internet.

Manuel Calavera posted:You can't say that and not give a link I make a point not to link to C3 stuff due to  concerns, and it's not a very good meltdown. Our issue has been that many people with the time to be Rock Band authors have used Tact as their dump stat. We don't care when Johnny Internet talks poo poo, but it's problematic when our own authors are non-constructively critical in public. It makes us look bad.Thanks again for the praise, guys. I wasn't fishing for it, but it means a lot to us that people play our little bundles of MIDI joy.

Sort of a repost from a while ago, but what's the best drum pedal to get from a durability standpoint? Quality and authenticity are secondary concerns; all I really want is something that can withstand multiple Rock Band parties without breaking (unlike the 4 stock pedals I've gone through  )

It's moving week in this college town and I found most of a drum kit, took all of the parts for it and stuffed them in a box. Including an extra pedal, that poo poo will come in handy someday!

Are the drum pedals platform-agnostic? Like, could I take a stray pedal from a stock PS3, Wii, or even PS2 kit and use it with my 360 drumset?

Yes, they're all just 1/8” mono plugs, all the platform specific stuff is in the controller part.

C3 releases for September 6, 2013: New! Powerful Female Voices 3-pack (farottone)
My only regret about this week is that "Hurt" (both of them) will be the new "Creep" at Rock Band parties.

I was about to ask which version of Hurt it was (Quiet or Loud.) And the Quiet version was certainly a good choice! Any chance there'll be more Cash coming? I'd loving love to sing Man in Black sometime.

...does this mean there's a possibility we will be getting all of Jagged Little Pill eventually? And I think Ice Ice Baby would be more likely to be overplayed at parties, but maybe I just have weird friends.

At the Pax after-party, the Xbox we were using had so many mods from so many memory units choking it that the cache took a poo poo and something in the harmony upgrades prevented all the RB1 songs from loading. This was ok because all it did was stop people from playing "Creep" and "Welcome Home".

Picking Runaway means you didn't pick Livin' on a Prayer again, and (in the long run) that's good.

Last party I had, I picked Runaway and everybody on the mics bailed cause apparently nobody knew the song. I was shocked. And got a lot of complaints that I wasted my turn by not picking Livin' on a Prayer.

I wonder if it's a geographical thing; I imagine Runaway was probably not much more than a regional hit, probably got played on WNEW and suchlike, but may not have gotten the exposure the Slippery When Wet record did? (Sorry, born in New Jersey and have an interest in pop music's spread, radio markets and all that sort of thing.)

Probably not, I've heard it on the radio around here before. And it was an odd night for song choices, anyway... at one point somebody accidentally picked Prequel to the Sequel, and a couple of girls ran to the mics when the vocals started up so they could "sing" like the cookie monster, but then when we picked Bohemian Rhapsody it was just the one dude who wasn't into it at all and gave up halfway through.  Probably one of the more fun Rock Band nights, but I knew like five people there and pegged nobody's taste in music correctly.

I honestly have no idea what happened, I was at the food table and wandered back in time to see him give up and nobody take his place. We were still and hour away from packing up, too. I guess a bunch of people took a smoke break or something cause Don't Stop Believing earlier and Don't Stop Me Now later had the expected results of a dozen or so people singing along. It was bizarre and will bother me to my grave.

I can't sing worth a drat (I've had friends tell me to stop and never sing again), but if someone left Bohemian loving Rhapsody hanging, I'd fill in immediately. I do enjoy singing along while I drum, but I usually have the safety of a mob backing me up.

This is why the person with the mic picks the song, every time. Drummers and guitarists can sight read that poo poo, but the singer doesn't know or like the song that's going to be awkward.
