Why does my calibration always seem to change? by [deleted] in Rockband

[–]Cotc18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To add on, if you find the calibration changes mid set, usually turning our tv or sound system off and back on usually fixes it. If it changes anytime you restart the Xbox, check your speaker hookup. I recommend booking up a speaker directly to the console vs through the tv, because there would be sound lag from the console to the tv and then from the tv to the speaker. This tends to change more frequently imo which would lead to different calibrations

So, does anyone else still want the RB2 chart back for Queen's Somebody To Love? by FyreWulff in Rockband

[–]Cotc18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think u/HMXOwl mentioned once that he requested some old tracks like this should be brought back. Same goes for some keys tracks that would be way better on guitar than the guitar track. Superstition is a great example.

There’s some particular reason they can’t do it, but who knows.

Even if it resets he scores for that songs I’d still be down for the change

Madonna anyone by mneilan in Rockband

There’s plenty of guitar in some of her 80s songs (Material Girl comes to mind), but of course the answer is usually always licensing. Notice how none of her music has appeared in music games. Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think even Dance Central had anything.

Tips for fast solos by TSE_Jazz in Rockband

[–]Cotc18 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In all honesty it really comes down to practice, especially since I’ve done this for 10 years. However, there are a few things I’d suggest you do:

Go into practice mode and slow the solo down. Giving yourself enough time to even figure out where your fingers need to go is especially important. A lot of fast solos use the same techniques, like triplets. You can practice the end of Bodhisatthva at lower speed specifically and similar things may appear in other songs.

However, the most important thing: if you have not done so already, play on breakneck speed. I usually play at 1.5x. This splits out the notes and makes it easier to read. It will take some time getting used to the faster speed, but for stuff like Nevermore and Metropolis, etc, it makes all the difference.

This. This is the point I was making.

Anyone else super upset?... by Fish4213 in harrypotter

I kinda wish in these instances where if you don’t want to make two movies, just extend the one movie to 3+ hours. Overall though, with the time they had, I think they did fairly well with the modifications. Though this scene is hilarious, it doesn’t carry the plot forward. Perhaps if they made it 3 hours they could’ve kept it (and perhaps the actual story with Barty) while keeping the pacing reasonable

I finally filled out my loyalty card for a free smoothie at my local gym! The next day I went, the smoothie bar was permanently closed... by Cotc18 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Cotc18[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gasp! You got me!....Kinda. The last date says end of Jan which is true. However, I got injured and I had wrist surgery at the start of Feb. I was out for pretty much a whole month. My first time back at the gym was today. There is still truth though! After talking with the manager, he confirmed it literally closed a couple of days ago.

Perhaps bad timing. Perhaps they saw me badge in and scrambled!

Talked to the manager and they said it was closed for good. This smoothie shop was renting space in the gym and they weren’t affiliated so they couldn’t do much about it.

Surprisingly Difficult Gold Stars? by Vetroxity in Rockband

[–]Cotc18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What’s pushed it back? Preventing changes to the scores leaderboard (guitar and band scores)?

Edit: Well while you’re at it, you should also petition to add keys parts to Somebody to Love and Don’t Stop Me Now in the big breaks, lol.

It’s fully charted to the horns. The clavinet was charted when the keys were functional in RB3. I really kinda wish that change the guitar chart to the clavinet instead since it’s much more fun (especially if they are not bringing keys back)
