Warrior of Rock tried to do something like that, but you could only do it on easy and it was only one section of one dethklok song so it didn't really work that well. Though it was definitely a step in the right direction. I asked Harmonix for a better calibration system before the game was released several times since calibrating is such a nightmare, even with auto calibration, but this is what we get :\ Despite the new patch was supposed to fix calibration I have had a lot of problems tuning it right, and it's getting really annoying have to close down the song, go back to the main menu, then finding the calibration in options to slightly tune the values again hoping it gets better.

Are RBN songs available yet?

No, and probably never will be. Some might get through into regular DLC eventually though. But a majority are probably not coming.

I assume they have no way to check. Presumably someone could just activate people's accounts forever using a used copy of the game on a last gen console.
Not yet unfortunately, except for a reassurance that they haven't excluded it out for a possible future update.
I wonder if there aren't masters available for the classic studio stuff. That's the bummer about a lot of classic rock.
I liked the live ACDC stuff, though, for the most part.
The AC/DC stuff wasn't because of missing masters, it's because AC/DC was (or still is) extremely difficult to negotiate with regarding digital versions of their songs. Basically they only allowed Harmonix to release their songs if they were not available for download seperately and if they adhered to their specific demands (which included no compilation-type release IIRC).
So when Harmonix wanted to release more AC/DC besides Let There Be Rock on RB2, they had to do it in the form of a non-downloadable Live at Donington add-on. It was that or no AC/DC at all.

Anyone?
Some have said that Country Track Pack 2 works.
But the only exports I have working are green day, and blitz.
Metal, classic, and TP2 are a no go for me and I didn't get country.
Also haven't touched "Story" mode since I first got the game, waiting for all the exports to come out. But I noticed selling out and doing shows for money over fans gives you more choices of songs.

Looks like you'll be able to delete particular export songs on Xbox.

Country Track Pack 2 does not work for me (XB1). I have all the track packs, and none of them are live yet. The only disc-based export live right now is Green Day (US, XB1, Friday morning).

Export is almost ready to go on Xbox.
All of the individual songs are up on Xbox. We just gotta wait for the export process to go live.

XB1 packs/bundles are just groupings of individual DLC song packages, so I would expect you can. It's not like the 360 where a three-song pack was a separate LIVE file containing all three songs.

Does the double bass pedal work yet?
I know it was supposed to at launch, but it never did, and I haven't heard since
ALSO
if I buy an electronic drum set that does MIDI out, can I get the MIDI adapter and use it on rock band?
I wanted to get a drumset anyway but that would be a great bonus
edit: for ps4. I know the xbone has some restrictions that probably wouldn't work?

MIDI sets work on PS4 with the adapter.

It has worked since launch. You need the adapter though which they sold beginning with RB2 I think.

That is a pedal that comes with the adapter.

My XBONE legacy adapter just showed up this morning. Yay! Time to break the drums out.

I knew it was supposed to work since launch, I thought it was supposed to work without the adapter though.
I swear I thought the 2nd plug on the drums was supposed to be for native double bass support.
I'm not paying 175 dollars for a pedal, damn.
Thanks though

I picked up Country Track Pack volume 2 from a pawn shop around Thanksgiving. Put the code in the 360, got the songs in RB3 & RB4. Played Ring of Fire in RB4 on the Xbox One just this week.

I purchased both track packs back when they were originally released and exported both of them into RB3. No dice for me on either one for RB4.
Hmmm...

Does that mean if I don't have RB3, I can buy the individual songs from Xbox Live? Please say I can, pretty please!

Nope, only available as export.

Nope. It's because Sony/MS insist everything you can buy be visible on the store now, even if it's not directly purchaseable.
On PS4 I believe it's confirmed you have to download the RB3 songs one by one, but on One it's a giant pack (I think)
If it's anything like other bundles, the content will be individual, but it will automatically queue all the content for you.
EDIT: Export appears to be up on PS4, soon on Xbox One, next week for Europe PS4!
EDIT EDIT: Might be a few days for Xbox

Minor nitpick: HMX forum says that the RB3 songs show up under Newly Acquired and don't have a seperate sorting. What even is the point of having a "4" next to the on disc songs, when the exports don't have numbers.
gah what a pain to download, at least they show up quickly in the download list so I can use my pc to do it.
to be fair we are going on weeks for the green day export and ps4 users now, so i mean a few days sucks but at least it's not weeks :/
I would happily trade my rock band 3 export for green day as green day is one of my favorite bands

The Blitz, the Green Day songs and the RB1/2 bonus songs that came with the export didn't have any symbols next to them. Plus we don't even know is the Bon Jovi tracks will be separate later on with the export when the downloadable tracks are the exact same thing in this game, in the same vein as the queen tracks.
The optimist in me says that this means that all previous exported songs will be released as DLC later on down the line to ensure that at least as much as possible is available for people new to the series. I mean, having ~300 tracks only available to people who started playing the series eight years ago is hardly a good feature to advertise, particularly in contrast with GH Live which has a hundred out of the box.
