I am baffled by that video. It seems like... just... wild mashing to a vague rhythm then there's some implementation of the freestyle solo system from RB4?

Yeah, the only reason I'm even vaguely interested in RBVR is because the email they sent announcing that pre-orders were available contained this linequote:Classic Mode: Demonstrate your technical prowess on the game’s Classic Mode, featuring the Rock Band note highway and scoring that you all know and love. So it sounds like you can do regular rock band guitar anyways? Because outside of that, the trailer just made it look like "Rock Band but the camera is your character's face and you do endless freestyle solos over every song" which sounds terrible.

Apparently, the game has a "BE A ROCKSTAR!!!!1" freestyle mode and that was what the trailer showcased. Gold On the Ceiling is my guilty pleasure Black Keys song as I hate most of their catalog.

So I feel like a dumb retard baby regarding the e-kit I just bought and getting it to work with RB4. I can't get it to work at all and I have zero idea what I'm doing wrong. Here's what I have: Alesis Nitro Midi <> Midi cable The MadCatz Midi Pro Adapter I have my Nitro all hooked together, all the midi outputs configured per the adapter's specifications. I have a midi <> midi cable from midi out on my kit into the midi port on the adapter, and the adapter is plugged straight into the front of the ps4 via USB. The kit works just fine by itself, and my USB ports on my ps4 work just fine as evidenced my the mic working. I cannot get RB4 to recognize the kit whatsoever. I feel like I'm missing a step, but what that step is I have no clue. Reddit said the PS button on the adapter only functions on the ps3 and not the ps4, and signing into an instrument should be as easy as hitting the Start or Select button. Hitting either of those buttons at the RB4 menu does nothing (as well as every other button, and I've slid the sensitivity wheel all the way up and down just trying everything I can think of). Signing in with my stock RB4 kit and then hitting pads on the e-kit also does nothing. I reached out to MadCatz to see if maybe the adapter was faulty, but because it's a "PS3 Adapter' (and the Alesis Nitro DM-7X drum brain isn't on their "official list" even though the DM-5 is) they are of absolutely no use since it's not technically supported despite the hundreds (thousands?) of people playing on e-kits. What the gently caress am I missing? I know there's tons of people playing on this very same kit, so either I got a dud or I'm stupid and missing something obvious. Help goons, you can call me as dumb as you like if it means I can get this to work E: should my kit show up in devices somewhere? When I plug a microphone in I get the on-screen pop-up, but when plugging in the adapter itself nothing shows up immediately or in devices anywhere E2: Here's a stupid question. So the PS button on the adapter doesn't work on the PS4, and as I understand it the adapter also only functions once you're inside Rock Band. How do those of you with e-kits turn the PS4 on and get into the game, then? Just a regular controller to turn on the console and sign into the game, then e-kit from there? kumba fucked around with this message at 19:14 on Feb 7, 2017 |

I just hooked my Xbox 360 back up so that the kids can mess with the drum lessons and drum free-play on Rock Band 3. Now I wired it to my TV with HDMI, and straight from the Xbox to my amp with an optical cord to reduce delay. I just can't seem to find an option to switch audio from hdmi to optical. It only seems to go through the hdmi, which is producing brutal lag on its way from the xbox to the tv to the amp. I must have missed something on the Xbox 360 settings, right?

On the Xbox One there is an option to control which outputs are enabled and which are not. I have my Xbox One connected via optical cable so I just disabled HDMI audio altogether so I don't make the mistake of playing while on the HDMI audio. I think the same option is there on Xbox 360. When I was on the Xbox 360 I had audio coming out of both HDMI and optical, so I just used the optical and ignored the other audio. No problems.

I bought Woot's "Rock Band 4 - Band in a Box Bundle" in Summer 2016 during their infamous "sell the European Union version to US Customers" snafu. It's been sitting in a box for 9 months, but I just received Rock Band Rivals + Guitar bundle as a gift. I have... many questions. 1. Does RB Rivals contain the game? I never took the Bundle out of the box because I'd need to spend $60 on the RB4 software and I didn't want to. 2. My last RB title I played was Rock Band One, on the 360. I have RB Rivals for the Xbox One. Will it be easy for me to figure out how to re-download all the dozens of RB1 songs I bought for the 360? 3. Are there any common instrument issues I need to look out for? I remember RB1 had an issue with the guitar's red button not working, and the drum pedal snapping in half. Any poo poo like that? 4. I love a lot of the RB1 on-disc songs. Am I correct that it's impossible to get the RB1 disc songs on to RB4? 5. Can I still have 4 people in my living room playing manually selected songs together? That's all I ever did with RB1. I don't know what World Tours and poo poo are all about. Just want to drink too much and fight over the mic. 6. I've heard a lot of complaints about delay. I've got my Xbone connected to receiver via HDMI, and receiver connected to TV by HDMI. Should I swap the audio portion to optical or anything like that? 7. Seriously, only other exposure I had to the game was RB1. Are there any big features that were added to the series (that persisted to RB4!) that I should know about?

It's been sitting in a box for 9 months, but I just received Rock Band Rivals + Guitar bundle as a gift. 1. Yes, I believe the physical copies are just Rock Band 4 with the expansion. 2. If you're using the same account that you bought the songs with you should be able to redownload them to RB4. 3. Not that I'm aware of, some early production instruments need to be patched but I think the newest run already are. 4. If you purchased the RB1 export to either RB2 or RB3 then they're already yours, if not then they're re-releasing old disc only songs so wait and pray the ones you like get released 5. Yes. It's up to 6 people now thanks to three part vocal harmonies. 6. Ask Orange Harrison, I believe he's tested the poo poo out of this exact issue and has updated the OP with his findings. 7. Yes, tons of features were added to the series! None of them are present in RB4, and with online play just being patched in last month we're back to parity between RB1 and RB4, gameplay wise at least.

quote:1. Does RB Rivals contain the game? I never took the Bundle out of the box because I'd need to spend $60 on the RB4 software and I didn't want to. The Rock Band Rivals bundle does contain the base game as well as the Rivals expansion. quote:2. My last RB title I played was Rock Band One, on the 360. I have RB Rivals for the Xbox One. Will it be easy for me to figure out how to re-download all the dozens of RB1 songs I bought for the 360? Downloading eligible DLC (currently barring delisted stuff) at this point is just a matter of going into the Rock Band 4 Game Hub via the Xbox One Dashboard, going to the Ready to Install tab and selecting Install All. quote:3. Are there any common instrument issues I need to look out for? I remember RB1 had an issue with the guitar's red button not working, and the drum pedal snapping in half. Any poo poo like that? The main one I can recall is that the launch drum kits had issues detecting all hits past a certain speed threshold, but my understanding is that that's been ironed out via firmware patches and later iterations of the kit. Beyond that, I play on legacy instruments myself, so someone else might be better to field any other specifics. quote:4. I love a lot of the RB1 on-disc songs. Am I correct that it's impossible to get the RB1 disc songs on to RB4? As of right now, it's impossible to get the RB1 Export if you don't already own it; however, within the last couple of months, Harmonix has started gradually releasing RB1/2/Lego songs piecemeal as DLC, so you might be able to pick up a handful of old favourites as DLC. quote:5. Can I still have 4 people in my living room playing manually selected songs together? That's all I ever did with RB1. I don't know what World Tours and poo poo are all about. Just want to drink too much and fight over the mic. Yep, traditional Quickplay is still an option. quote:6. I've heard a lot of complaints about delay. I've got my Xbone connected to receiver via HDMI, and receiver connected to TV by HDMI. Should I swap the audio portion to optical or anything like that? Speaking as someone who only has HDMI, I was able to calibrate to a playable state, however my understanding is that optical is optimal assuming that's an option for you. quote:7. Seriously, only other exposure I had to the game was RB1. Are there any big features that were added to the series (that persisted to RB4!) that I should know about? Vocal Harmonies and Pro Drums are the big ones (though equipment wise, they require extra mics and the drum cymbals respectively).

Kaboobi posted:What did you do wrong, so we don't make the same mistake? It's the signing in part that I was having trouble with. I still can't really figure out what the "proper" way to do it is, because my thought is it should be as easy as 1. Turn on PS4 with Dualshock controller, log in to profile and open Rock Band, and 2. Once game is open, sign in with drums. In practice, though, this doesn't work. I'm not sure why. Here's what I ended up having to do: 1. Turn on PS4 with my stock kit, log in to profile and open Rock Band 2. Sign into Rock Band with my stock kit 3. Hit the Options button and Drop Out 4. Sign into Rock Band with e-kit by hitting the Start button (NOT the Select button, NOT the PS button) There HAS to be something else I'm missing because this is stupid and convoluted. I was getting increasingly pissed I couldn't get this to work and noticed out of sheer luck that, while my wife was playing drums on the stock kit, I noticed that the red light on the adapter was on while she was playing. It was never on when I was trying to get it to work, and I think it's because it detected a signed in user (my profile) that wasn't currently playing. So I had her back out to the main screen and drop out, and *poof* like magic I could sign in. Definitely not intuitive, but at least it works.

Speaking of missing features. Does anyone ever have lyrics get garbled from time to time(blurry/unreadable) while singing? I was never able to pin down why it happened with Rock Band 3/360, but it still happens sometimes in Rock Band 4/Xbone. Whenever it would happen too much in Rock Band 3 I could switch to static lyrics, which sucked, but at least allowed me to proceed on songs I didn't know. But that seems to no longer be an option on 4. Anyone else ever encounter this and know how to fix it since I no longer have that workaround? I'm pretty sure I've previously tried making sure TV was in game mode, etc. But maybe I'm missing something obvious.

Alternatively, is there any chance you might have bought them on another profile? There were a few songs that I found that I was missing myself near launch, only for me to realize that they were purchased on one of my brother's alternate accounts that I had forgotten about (and that'd also make sense if they're absent from your Microsoft purchase history).

quote:6. I've heard a lot of complaints about delay. I've got my Xbone connected to receiver via HDMI, and receiver connected to TV by HDMI. Should I swap the audio portion to optical or anything like that? SatansBestBuddy posted:6. Ask Orange Harrison, I believe he's tested the poo poo out of this exact issue and has updated the OP with his findings. Never ever ever ever ever play RB with the console plugged through a receiver. Even if you think it's not laggy you're just naturally compensating and then you'll play the game out of time for the rest of your life on other people's setups and accuse their setups of being laggy. To minimize lag you have to plug the xbone directly into your tv with HDMI audio turned off, and carry the audio over an optical cable directly into whatever produces your sound, be it the TV or the receiver. Make sure on the Bone's audio settings that the optical output is set to "uncompressed PCM" and not any digital surround setting. Old RB games were able to override this when you started the game (That's why the HMX title card stuttered in RB3) but you have to do it manually on the bone. A receiver is preferred for sound because you never know if your flat-panel TV is holding back the sound so it plays in time with the picture, adding unfixable lag. Even with perfect hardware your lag numbers will still be 40-40 because the xbone is garbage. Also, if your TV has a game mode, be sure to activate it while playing RB. It tells the TV to skip as much image post-processing as possible to reduce latency for games. In theory this would affect image quality, but only for, like, blu-rays and stuff, since current-gen game graphics aren't quite that intense yet. RB4 doesn't even run in 1080p anyway. Question: What solutions have you guys found for talking to people while playing RB4 online? There doesn't seem to be a headset jack on the new Strats.

I just bought an LG OLED55B6P now that they fixed the display lag issues (down to about 25ms even in HDR) and the prices plummeted, I will report back on the lag when I get it. My current TV is an 8 year old Sharp thing that always had a bit of lag and motion blur even in game mode, so I'm excited.
