I noticed you guys released a few RB3 versions. Any more in the pipeline? I wanna buy Hard to See but dunno if you guys will be re-releasing it or if there are no plans to do so.

We only have a few more RB3 versions we plan on doing. The other 2 Asking Alexandria tracks will be updated shortly, as well as Take Me Away by Rose of Jericho. There's only one other artist we are looking at updating songs for and we're still trying to see if we can get the tracks separated enough for that to happen. We have no plans to re-release Hard to See.

"The Final Episode (Let's Change the Channel) (RB3 version)" should be in the next store update.

Can't wait! Out of 2,100 plus songs that's probably one of my top twenty or so favorite songs to play...and I'm dying to play keys on it!

Is there any chance that any of the A Day To Remember or Asking Alexandria songs will have a 2x Bass version? I really hate feeling like I'm not playing the whole song and would definitely re-purchase the songs, even if the price was raised. Harmonix should have made double bass an option in the first place, like Expert+ in GH. Give us a real guitar mode and keyboard mode that people have to pay for new instruments to play but they think people can't spend $30 on the second pedal and adapter? what the heck is up with that?

Hey

I'm really enjoying your Andromeda songs, thank you for introducing me to this awesome band! They sound amazing and the charts are fantastic! I hope they sell well and that you'll release more song from them in the future

I would love to see all of them get a double bass pedal version though, I really think they deserve it. I'd even buy both versions to support you guys and the band as much as I can.

I'm a little sad that you undercharted Charmelion Carneval a bit on keys, but I'm sure you gave it a lot of thought and had good reason and I'll probably learn to live with it. Not like I can actually play it anytime soon as it is anyway

Stay awesome.

No, it's not undercharted. Unless there's another part, I'm assuming you're talking about the start of the solo. I suspect that is played with a killswitch, meaning a switch on the keyboard that "kills" the sound. That's how it's so fast - it's easy to flick a switch back and forth very fast, but it's nigh impossible - if not completely impossible using just a keyboard.

Actually, the keyboardist is literally playing that fast. This video shows the keyboardist in action. So it is actually undercharted (but for good reason, the keyboard controller possibly can't register hits that fast).

So, are you saying the keyboard controller CAN register the insane keyboard parts in Another Step and Veil Of Illumination (Part 2)? I don't see how it could get any crazier than thos two solos.

Well, I meant it's unlikely that a single key on the controller could register hits as fast as what would have been charted on Chameleon Carneval. I dunno though. Also, I guess I was wrong and the keyboardist isn't *actually* playing all of those notes. It looks like he's doing some crazy 4-finger "tapping" of sorts, but I guess it's just him using 1 finger from each hand. If that's the case, what we have charted is literally what he's playing. Anyway, it's not that big of a deal. Still a crazy ass song.

EDIT: As for Veil and Another Step, I don't see why it's not possible for the keyboard controller to register all of those notes since it's not hitting the same key over and over at like 20 NPS. Butttt I don't see anyone hitting those solos for awhile =P

Although he is playing it heavily two-handed, which you're supposed to reduce for RB. It looks like he's playing a sort of RRLLRRLL pattern rather than just alternating hands though, so simply reducing to right-hand only would be very awkward.

Someone asked about the undercharting in CC on scorehero (it was actually fully charted in the original preview video), and here's Elx's response:

Based on the fact that it is at least partially played back with some kind of effect that is increasing the audible speed as well as concerns over playability on the majority of hardware. This is something that was debated back and forth for a long time.
