Did I screw up by opting in beta for NXE? My Xbox won't recognize the RB4 strat. Sync light just blinks.

You must be in game to use any instrument on NXE
The instruments don't work on the OS in NXE ATM. Also keep a controller plugged in 24/7 otherwise your screen will dim as if a controller hasn't been used in 10 minutes.
To switch profiles to anther instrument you must accept with the controller because it goes to profile selection in he OS
The current stance is basically never say never but it's not in the works right now.
It's theoretically possible for them to add keys to RB4 down the road
gotta do em all again

But it doesn't even look like its recognizing the guitar at all?
I'm pressing the wireless sync button plus the button on the Xbox. Both just blinks.

Nice will have to try this later I saw people saying Blitz was exportable but haven't seen anything on my PS4. So I'll load it up on PS3 and see if that works and wait patiently for my RB1, 2, and Green Day exports!

For a setlist, I voted for the final song to be "Something from 1999."
The game threw Sin Wagon at me. It wanted to punish me for picking middle of the road difficulty stuff recently. Damn, that song is brutal on guitar.

Sin Wagon was the 'you think country is easy? well fuck you' song of the Country Track Pack disc

Love Rock Band but the whole stereo only thing really pisses me off.
Tilt the guitar if you're either console.
Press the "View" button (otherwise known as select) if you're on an Xbox One, alternatively. You can't do this on the PS4.

I'm using World Tour drums and a GH3 guitar for bass on XB1, no problems here.

You can't navigate the PS4 UI with them but they are plug and play once you get into the game. Might depend on Xbox One, not sure.
Every so often my WoR PS3 guitar drops notes though. Not sure if that's the game/calibration or the guitar is dying.
Kirbstomp and the Nekneks.
My two cats are named Kirby and Neko and they have various nicknames one of which is Kirbstomp and Neknek
Anything by the White Stripes usually has a ton of solos.

Pretty sure the game is surround sound. It's based on what you have your console's global audio options set to.
It doesn't appear automatically, you have to search the pack in the store (I'm on mobile so don't have the link handy, but it was posted in the thread already).
Remember that you must've been a PS+ member when you preordered to get the songs.
I will toss this out- as a former RBN animations/lighting/camera author, I'm significantly disappointed in how the game behind the fretboard looks. I have yet to say true band cooperation, any insane camera angles, I don't even think I've seen effects like trippiness or graininess yet?

I just contacted EA support about a RB2 code. told them i lost my manual and that i contacted harmonix support and they told me to contact EA. the chat representative told me he spoke to a colleague and that they cant generate codes anymore as EA no longer supports RB2 and that i should contact harmonix.
Is that true? Did someone else get a code from EA?

It has long been one of my favorite songs in the series. Brutal and fun. And awesome to sing as well.
The new "Fuck you!" Country song is Start a Band. Those solos are nuts.
Nope. Mine's set to DD 5.1. Still just stereo.
PS3, from what I understand Blitz isn't on PS4

Tried every setting on Xbox One. It was set at 7.1 uncompressed to begin with. I was wondering why I had to crank the volume up more than any other game.

So if I buy Rock Band Blitz on the PS3 now and download, I'll be able to download the soundtrack to RB4 when I get it next week?

Many things are not available for download yet. An announcement is incoming, likely tomorrow.
Very few disc exports and non-digital-store-purchased packs are up right now. Also no de-listed songs are back up, yet.
IE: Redemption code from AC/DC, or RB Blitz unlock

But if I buy it now, when they eventually DO bring it to RB4, it will work.
I just didn't know if it was a thing where you had to own Blitz before a certain date.
You can buy Blitz on the PS3, launch it, download the soundtrack, and the songs will work in RB4 on PS4. Individually, not as a pack. All 25 songs. Dunno what that dude is talking about.

If you have a 25 digit Xbox code in your RB2 manual, the first 16 digits might be the RB3 import code.
I have my copy of Rock Band 2 here with the manual and a 25 digit EU code. It was new when I purchased it, and the code was never redeemed. I tried entering it into the 'Get More Songs' -> 'Redeem Code' section, and there wasn't enough space in the box so I gave up.
Later, on a whim, I tried the code again until the box was full and just hit enter out of annoyance... and for some reason the code was accepted. I'm downloading the 1.93GB export file now, and have been billed £6.75 on Xbox Live. The download worked and my RB2 songs are now in my RB3 library.

Great thanks, seems well worth it for $15.
whaaaat keep us updated! if that's all it took I don't see any reason hmx wouldn't say it. I wonder how it would work for those of us who have already done the export for rb3? i cant imagine we'd pay again, but maybe

Just edited to clarify that it's for exporting to RB3; nothing to do with RB4 so far but I assume it will all end up in RB4 automagically when that stuff gets sorted out.
e: I think I now see what you were getting at with the latter comment - sorry, 2am here.

Anything you redeem in a pack that's not simply a purchase off of the PSN/XBL we are likely waiting for.
That's not true at all. It's working right now on PS4. I just did it.
No. Also a couple track packs are already up on both PSN and XBL
What if I have US Rock Band 2 with a 16 digit code on my manual, would I be able to purchase Rock Band 3 and use that? If so I've been wasting my time the past 2 days trying to get one from EA support lul

Can I use something like a Cronusmax to use my IONs on Xbox One? Any third party controller adapter that would work?
AlphaTwo00

Aright, I give up. I'm boned until the next NXOE update or until the legacy adapter comes in. The Xbox won't recognize my RB4 guitar on the sync button, so it doesn't matter how people say it works in the game.

Anyone have any idea why only half of my songs I just bought show up? I've tried "Rebuild Song Cache" under options and it only finds 8 songs while my PSN account history - and empty wallet - shows I bought 7 other songs that won't show up.
Even more annoying is only 3 songs ever showed up themselves after downloading, I found 5 more under "My Add-Ons" on the PS4 homepage.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

So how am I suppose to know what songs I can play right this minute? I've purchased 2 songs so far that don't seem compatible with RB4 yet. Why are they letting purchase things we can't access yet? Any help would be immensely appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: seems like the poster above and I are having the same problem, hah.

Whoever charted gimme chocolate and throne need to be the main guys because both those songs are fantastic. I really love the synth job they translated to the guitar in throne....makes the song fun as hell. They also charted some other instrument during the verse....it's so beautiful

What also bothers me about the sound issue is everywhere I've seen it mentioned, no one from Harmonix chimes in but they do for other issues.
