hey all. so i got rock band for christmas but only played it for like 3 days since I went on a week long cruise. anyways so some of my friends were playing it with me and noticed some problems but i can't tell if they're just playing bad or if its really broken. one of my friends said that the red drum wasn't responding well at certain parts. and i've seen that other ppl online have had trouble with this too. like i said i couldn't tell if he was just a little bit off or what.
my guitar when i took it out of the box also had a whammy bar that basically instead of staying up near the strum it turns down so everytime i need to use the whammy i have to pull it back up to near the strum bar if i'm not holding it the whole time. one of my friends has played rock band before and said that this wasn't normal and my whammy was too loose. originally i just thought it was shoddy work but now i'm not sure if my guitar was defective to begin with.
also i noticed that sometimes when i'm playing umm the long notes with the vertical line that you hold the frets down for, sometimes it messes up. i definitely know i didn't strum again b/c it happened several times. so i was wondering is this the problem alot of ppl had with double strumming? it doesn't happen all the time just sometimes.
many of these problems are intermitten. and i really can't tell if it's just bad playing for all the problems (except the whammy one) or if the guitar/drums are really bad since it's not constant. what do you guys think? i'm just worried b/c the warranty is only for 2 months and in 1.5 weeks i'll be going off to college and my rock band set will be sitting at home. so i'm worried about the possibility that they're about to get worst but that it'll happen right after i go back to college and the warranty expires.
i know a lot of the defective peripherals came from the 1st batch of stuff. my stuff had a sticker that said october or something on it i think if that helps at all.
