Still not getting "watching videos" right...

[Hoolio]

I'd like to watch my band's videos without the gameplay interface. I've been over and over the previous thread on this topic (http://www.rockband.com/forums/showthread.php?t=171980) and followed the directions to the best of my ability, but I still only get one band member with random stand-ins.

Now, first, I don't have a mic so it's possible the problem may lay in that right there. But I do have a band, with four members all assigned to the band, and I have the stand-ins assigned properly so that no matter how many people are playing, the entire band is present during tour mode.

I've tried setting No Fail and Performance Mode, doing band quickplay and choosing my guitarist. He shows up, but all the other members are random. I've also tried using my drummer, who is the character I started the band with, but same result. I've also tried it without No Fail, but it made no difference.

I appreciate any further advice or assistance, particularly from Doc_SoCal and the other users that have managed to get this to work.

Thanks much,

Hoolio.

Without a microphone your audio won't sound right. All other instruments fade out when you don't hit their respective notes (even in Performance Mode).

The way to do this is on vocals, enter as a solo vocalist, with No Fail and Performance Mode modifiers active. Go into the Tour, select the venue you want, and do a Make a Setlist with the song you're interested in somewhere in the list, then pick fast short songs for the rest.

If you do it in Band Quickplay, you'd need one instrument for every position, since you can not use stand-ins in Quickplay (and again you'd have the dropped note audio problem on everything except vocals).

Thanks for the reply and the info, I just got around to trying this, but without a microphone. As you said, the drum track (which is the instrument I had plugged in) dropped even in No Fail. The overall effect is the result I was looking for, and once I add a microphone I'm sure it will be perfect.

Thanks again,
