- have a "replay" feature that plays the song back, but with the precise timing given by the player ( this is probably too hard to do, you'd have to separate out the tracks note by note, not feasible ).

Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?

Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.

Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?

Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?

Marty DiBergi: I don't know.

Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?

Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.

Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.

Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?

Nigel Tufnel: ...these go to eleven

I am hoping for a patch that makes GH3 guitars work with Rock Band.

I play guitar and piano/electric keyboards. I think it's great that developers are coming out with these rhythm games. Some people just don't have the hand/eye coordination to play a real instrument. Games like these help to improve that coordination. Besides, when I'm not actually playing, I love to chill out and play Rock Band or Guitar Hero in my basement.]]>Dec 4th 2007 5:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/how-would-you-change-rock-band/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/how-would-you-change-rock-band/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbLr2NEV_7o]]>Nov 30th 2007 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/how-would-you-change-rock-band/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/how-would-you-change-rock-band/Nov 30th 2007 6:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/how-would-you-change-rock-band/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/how-would-you-change-rock-band/

if you sing a song exactly like the singer, you do not get 100%, because the game does not take into account the beginning and end of words not being sung at full volume at the exact same pitch as the rest of the word. therefore, you are penalized for singing normally, and to achieve a high/perfect score, one must begin singing before the word is sung in the actual song, which, if you are playing with other people, makes you sound like you dont know what you are doing.]]>Nov 30th 2007 5:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/how-would-you-change-rock-band/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/how-would-you-change-rock-band/
It shouldn't be penalizing you for that. The game does not count the very beginning of a note or the very end of a note, which allows you to do exactly what you're talking about. Not many songs feature singers who sing a note at the exact tone all the way through, they accent the note, and the game does factor this in. Even if you were penalized for this little tiny bit, you would have more than enough of an opportunity to make up for it; to fill the whole circle and get "Awesome" on a phrase, you can miss slightly. Singing isn't as precise as playing the guitar or drums, and Rock Band (thankfully) recognizes that. However, when singing on Expert, Rock Band is much more of a stickler for you to sing as the original singer does, so if you're looking more for a karaoke "add-my-own-style-to-the-song" kind of singing (which most people unintentionally do), switch to Hard or Medium (or even Easy).]]>Nov 30th 2007 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/how-would-you-change-rock-band/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/how-would-you-change-rock-band/It might suck, but it would be fun to be able to use your own CDs to jam to. It'd be sweet if it could process a song on the fly.]]>Nov 30th 2007 5:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/how-would-you-change-rock-band/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/how-would-you-change-rock-band/
