If it's anything like Beatles and Green Day, any and all mics are are under one profile if needed to be signed in.Cutwolf said:

Does anyone play RB with Dolby Digital turned on? In my system, it introduced lag in the drum fills and vocals. I think I'm going to setup RB3 in stereo to fix that problem, but I kinda hate to lose surround sound.

Just make sure it's at least USB 2.0, and you should be good.
MadCatz put up a site for RB3 instruments, includes some info on the MIDI adapter:

I've got this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002AH8T3Q/?tag=neogaf0e-20
it has 7 ports, includes a power supply in case you need it, but I have 7 devices hooked into mine (mostly RB instruments) and it runs fine without the power supply.
Also, I read the MIDI pro's instruction manual (posted at the link I pasted above), and IT INCLUDES A COMPATIBILITY LIST FOR KEYBOARDS AND DRUMS!!!!
Keyboards:
M-Audio Axiom 25
CME Key 49
Behringer UMX-25/25a
Akai MPK-25
Drums:
Roland HD-1
Yamaha DTExplorer
Yamaha DD 65
Alesis DM5
It states these were "specifically tested" with RB3, so I'm assuming these work in addition to any drum kit where you can re-map MIDI triggers. Also, I'm assuming most keyboards will work.
The DTExplorers were the drums I've been eyeing for a while, GET!
USB Powered hubs kind of suck ass. USB has a maximum power throughput of 500mah. That means you can't connect 4 usb devices that use more than 125mah each.Minsc said:
And some USB devices (like the Xbox Wireless Adapter for PC, which uses all of the 500mah, for instance) use way more than that.
They work, but they have their limitations. If the one that came with RockBand has a power adapter, i'm sure there's a reason for it.

I wouldn't doubt that RHCP is lost to Activision but I think that there's a good chance that Journey and Soundgarden are being redone with the new system. The former would benefit greatly from keys and the latter would be MUCH better with harmony. Singing Spoonman was such a pain due to having to cut off one part to sing another. Likewise, Blackhole Sun has some great harmony that is sorely missing from the RB1 version. I really hope that we get updated versions of all of those songs. Like others have suggested, there is no point in them paying for the license to the old version when they can pay to relicense and remaster them to release them as paid DLC. I would gladly pay for updated versions of all 3 songs.
The only reasons I don't see this as the case with RHCP are because they dont appear to have a great benefit from harmonies (especially Give It Away) and because RHCP had a large enough catalog to warrant a standalone GH game, whereas neither Journey nor Soundgarden do. The ACDC stuff is probably just too expensive to license again without significantly raising the price, while Metallica is obvious. Finally, I expect the reason that the HMX songs are coming separately is because they will have keys, harmony, and/or pro modes included.
Anyway, here's hoping that GH finally goes away so that we can be free from stupid exclusivity agreements. To be fair, I don't like that RB does it either, but at least it prevents GH from reaching a similar deal.

Yea, I was only planning on using it for the mics, I didn't really even research if I needed it. I should probably check how many USB ports the new 360 model has with the built in wifi, maybe it has four. I hate cables, as you can see, so the thought of yet another cable for the USB hub wasn't too attractive, even more so a cable that needs to be plugged in. Wireless electricity can't come soon enough.

I am mostly over the disappointment of Journey not making the export. There are too many other good things that transferred over. We should be happy we can export at all.
And as for my fretting over "I Get By" not making it, I just realized that it is a RB1 song. Silly me.

Good thing the Harmonix songs are coming as free DLC. I need Night Lies and Get Clean.

Well, I guess the most disappointing thing is that this probably means Don't Stop Believing won't be getting a keys upgrade.
firehawk12 said:
I don't think we can say that. How do you know they aren't just going to do a big Journey pack with both pro versions of the songs in it? That's what I'm hoping. Considering how huge Don't Stop Believing sold, they could make a lot of money getting people to re-buy an upgraded version.
Also just noticed the GH Soungarden greatest hits pack was just put up on the marketplace for anyone who didn't preorder GH:WoR to buy today. Probably not a coincidence.

No Journey or RHCP?

So, I hear PS3 owners are getting screwed again. How bad is it this time? I'll be going to Boston next week, so maybe I'll stop by Harmonix's offices and harass them about this.

I ordered on 10/22 and no signs of shipment.
I wanna rock too
I ordered on Saturday I think. I live in Ohio.
I got the shipment confirmation last night, and I tracked today and it was out for delivery. Very unexpected.

I'm kinda dreading having to set new scores again. I'm not as good as I was a couple months ago when I set all those high scores, so I predict a lot of frustration.KaYotiX said:

Thank god Main Drag will be coming back. And I hope that Journey gets a mega pack with key support and harmonies. That would be divine.
And thinking the other day, now that we have keys we could finally see some Ray Charles in the game. Stevie Wonder (early Stevie) would be great too.

I was the same way, but it is actually more fun going back to redo it. And with Overdrive being given more often, I have found I am gold starring so much more than before. I know I havent improved all that much, but it makes me feel better.Rodeo Clown said:

Just for a goof, I decided to input the code on the back of The Beatles game into the redeem code screen. It said invalid. Not surprised, but it would have been funny if it did something.
Other artists that need to be here: Bob Seger, Steve Winwood

Rock Band Aide says no, but apparently they promised support at E3 so maybe it'll get patched in. Kind of sucks. At the same time, with it requiring a controller slot, it would be impossible to use it with four instruments + mic in songs that have a keys track.

That would rule if you could export Beatles. As much as I love Beatles Rock Band, it'd be really convenient to be able to consolidate everything into RB3. I'd pay 10 bucks (maybe even up to $20) for that privilege.
