I feel that adding a swing to the song helps a little bit on guitar, because Run to The Hills on Guitar isn't all that easy either.

Getting rockband for my birthday. I'm waiting because I don't want to buy the whole package. I think it's February 4th that individual piece get set to be sold separately.

So I did an all-nighter with my friends on it yesterday and at one point the mic was in the air, so I said "oh why the hell not" and took it, despite not considering myself much of a vocalist. Some of my friends were dying on Easy, so I decided that Easy was the best place to start, but I completely totalled it. Oh. Medium then. Totalled. Hard. Totalled. Expert. Still not doing bad.

Am I just pitch-gifted or does it mark you basically the same no matter what difficulty you're on?

[Telvanni_guard]

The pitch meter is smaller depending on the difficulty. Hitting closer to the center gives you better scores. Meaning, it's harder to hit the center on higher difficulties. I'm not sure about how harshly it judges the correct words, but just going uh... doesn't work on medium or hard. >_>

Got rock band a few days ago, I never post on these threads.... i should start =).

If I stumble on the words, I just hum it, and I still get it. But I never tried it on hard or expert yet.

On expert on the sections without pitch (like Sabotage and what not) are judged really harshly based on pronunciation.

lolz my whammy just snapped yay

[MalReynolds]

5* Welcome Home and Green Grass and High Tides on expert, drums.

I know, it's not much, but I'm getting better. On PS3, I'm ranked 171 on drums.

[jellygod]

so i was at my friends house last night and was singing on his tv and i was like woah im doing alot better, apparently plasma tvs suck ass for singing cause i was beating songs i could never beat at home on expert, and the transitions from up and down the scale were way smoother. as when i had to do it at home i had to do it early and even then sometimes it didnt work. so i need to get a singing persons tv cause singing is my favorite thing in RB

[Telvanni_guard]

Go into the settings and manually do the calibration. Just choosing your TV didn't work for me. :\

When I played on my LCD TV in the living room, the sync was absolute **** and switching around the calibration SOMEHOW would make some things on sync and others off, so no matter what we did, someone had to deal with their stuff being off for some reason.

But when I play it in my room, every individual instrument is synced just fine.

[Telvanni_guard]

Come to think of it the singing's timing has been pure and utter crap for me. But I guessed that was just because my headset was fuxing up. And I tend to talk/sing rather low.

[HK_Zachary]

I got 99% on Blitzkrieg Bop (expert bass). Longest combo:

FOUR HUNDRED SEVENTY SIX!

expert bass is about the same difficulty level as easy guitar

[MalReynolds]

Man, on drums the longest combo I've ever had is something like 800.

Bass seems like a joke, to be honest.

Nah, it's like easy hard songs

I think I might have to send back my guitar, the whammy snapped yesterday and upstrum is working less and less consistently.

Someone needs to download some Metallica.


And then play Blackened. And then some Iron Maiden.



Also: For anyone with the 360 version of the game, OXM has put three songs onto their disc.

Freezepop: SprØde
Bang Camaro: Rock Rebellion
Count Zero: Shake

Source.

[ddr_f4n]

I already heard about it yesterday at bemanistyle. I never heard of Sprode, but I hope it's as catchy as Brainpower.

Now doing Drums Hard.
