A more fan-oriented response might have been "In the C3 database, you can filter custom songs to show which ones have multitrack support. There are lots more than you think!"  Unrelated: I appended the OP FAQ regarding legacy controller support: Orange Harrison posted:Q: What about all my instrument controllers?

Edit: Recently a new hypothesis has been spawned regarding the ability to use your old instrument controllers on the new consoles. This mostly applies to the Xbox platform since it was both dominant in sales figures and the platform for which the Rock Band series was locally coded.

Did anyone ever put together a list of quality songs on RBN? I can't fathom that it'd be terribly long.

Torture by Rival sons, Gabrielle by Ween, How we Operate by Gomez, the Flight of the Conchords songs, and maybe the Jonathon Coulton stuff depending on where you stand re: his work. There's probably other stuff but that's my off the top of the head list. (Mostly those first three.)

Lazy!! It's not laziness so much as RBN1 didn't have cymbal support until after RB3 was announced, so there are a smattering of early RBN songs that don't have proper pro-drum support, and due to the way releases were handled there was no easy way to update songs to include pro-drum support unless they just re-released the song. (which more than a few songs did, along with harmonies and keys)

Gaspar's Spotify list is quality. Blatant self-promotion: if you like pop-rock, check out Dance for the Dying. I authored all of those, and they are super catchy and fun. Lots of good basslines!

I'd get new drums only because my goodwood mods heads are pretty tired now and I can't really rotate the them any more to keep good pads on red/yellow.

On that survey I wish they had a option for "I'd buy new drums if they were significantly improved". I bought the Logitech drum controller and even that started to miss hits and whatnot shortly afterwards. It seems a good drum kit is hard to find for video games, unless you want to shell out ridiculous money on V-drums or something.

You can bash the crap out of them and if a pad goes bad (not that I've had that happen), it's gently caress all to replace one. It does involve basically starting back at medium for the first little while, until you get the hang of how a proper kit is arranged, but it's a minor quibble.

I might consider, but I bought a Pearl Rhythm Traveler acoustic kit a while ago (and some nice Wuhan cymbals). Don't really have money for an e-kit, and I never trusted them either. Though I haven't played on a good one as such (ie one that costs $1000 or more), but the idea of spending that kind of money on an e-kit and still getting cross talk and missed notes is terrifying. I'm sure it doesn't/very rarely happens though, so

It was a thing that was brought up by more than a few users at the time but never addressed. Anyway, truth be told, when you play with an ekit for me scores become irrelevant, the beauty is to play the song on my actual kit.  Plus, a proper pedal.

Biggest problem I have is that my pads come up off of a horizontal bar and slowly start swinging down after I've been playing on them for more than a minute. Cannot figure out how to get them secured in place without doing something drastic like gluing them there.

Does Rock Band even indicate hi hat peddal notes?

Nope. If your e-kit is smart enough, you can have the hi-hat pedal change that pad's output from yellow cymbal to blue cymbal (what RB typically denotes for closed/open HH notes).

On my pads, different areas register different hits, which sends different notes to the midi adaptor. Once I turned that off in the drum kit brain, misses were all but eliminated (there is the odd strike that the adaptor doesn't register properly, but it's few and far between).

It's not crosstalk, I started with a train of thought and it derailed. It's the MIDI adapter. Point is, I haven't eliminated the random missing or double hit, though it's not related to crosstalk. Yes, my set has trigger zones, which are awesome, but I just have a MIDI set saved, named Rock Band of course, on my MIDI brain and all the zones of a pad are assigned to the same note, and I never ever got crosstalk on the same pad honestly.

I don't think they make them anymore, so unless you find some mystery crate supply of brand new ones you're gonna have to find a used kit. Or if you want a new kit, something like this from Alesis might be decent enough for Rock Band. Though you'd have to buy the midi adapter, which is an extra annoyance but I think they're easy to come by and not too expensive. edit: a review of that Alesis kit: "it is awful it sound nothing like a drum set not even close it's like banging on broken paint buckets and cracked frying pans..." Did he realize it's an electronic kit?

Make 100% sure your MIDI brain can reassign MIDI notes to each pad, otherwise you're like stuck with a cheap ekit that doesn't even work with Rock Band anyway.

I'd really like a drum set too as my Beatles + Mad Cats cymbals never worked in the first place and absolutely don't work now. Ions are going for like $400 so gently caress that.

If $400 is out of your budget, I'd suggest just waiting for new official kits. If you want something decent for the game/poor for actual drumming, it'll be $400-500 minimum, and potentially take up a lot more space as well.

PS4 has drivers that are freely distributed to make it work with PS3 game pads. Sony doesn't freak out about that stuff. There is such a low barrier to making the hardware work, it's not worth mentioning. Microsoft is the only hurdle. And currently they aren't passing it.

Here's a random question that other ion set owners may have had to deal with: what is the best way to store them for easy pull out access when you feel like playing? I've just been leaving it out in the corner of the room and using it as an ugly rack to hang air dry clothes and jackets because I'm a lazy slob, but I hate having it out all the time. Seeing if anyone has come up with a clever solution themselves.

I'd be interested in hearing a better idea, but you can buy a drum key that will go into an impact driver or drill from a music shop, which makes it fairly easy to collapse the set flat and bring it back to full stature quickly. It's still a sizable bit of kit but once flat it will hopefully fit behind a couch or something.

There isn't an easy way to store them. I've moved mine around a bunch and it just leads to the clamps getting stripped eventually. They just aren't built to be torn down very often.

Soooo this blew my mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKq3M71WXy4 Here are the rest of the RB3 menu tracks. The Acrobrats - Simpleton Choo Choo la Rouge - Here Come the Guns Death of the Cool - Everything I Hate About Myself Down June - More The Holepunch Generation - Buried Alive Milquetoast & Co. - Love and Tonic Spirit Kid - Flytrap All of them are on YouTube. All of them are on Spotify as well, except for the Milquetoast & Co. one that I linked above. drat shame as that one has always been my favorite menu tune.
