That's Ziltoid 'breaking' the game.

There's actually a full band (drums, guitar, bass) one measure solo in there too

I couldn't find a video of By Your Command on your Youtube account. Did I just miss it, or haven't you uploaded one?

I haven't made one yet for the final version. I'll get it up this afternoon and link it when it's ready.

Awesome. Yay for Ziltoid today!

I love you guys, and the fantastic music you're bringing to Rock Band, but I gotta say I can't really enjoy By Your Command with the audio problems it has.

I played a six song setlist with BYC at the end of it just to see how it compared - all the other songs played sounded great at 20 on my speakers, BYC sounded decent at 28. That's a massive difference, any of those others on 28 would've boomed through the whole house.

Beyond that, I felt like the mix itself wasn't great. The vocals were way too quiet when compared to the rest of the band throughout most of the song. Then, during the "Gone too far from the universe" section, I could barely hear the guitar.

I'm still gonna keep an eye on your releases, but I gotta say I am a bit disappointed here. Devin being my favorite musician, I really hope that these problems won't persist in future releases.

That vocal track is WAY too low.

And I was hoping for Devin to have replaced the "Have the humans delivered their ultimate cup of coffee?" part with something else.

But, still insanely fun. Though, please take note of the low vocal track. Even during the quieter section it was a little too low. The only parts I heard clearly enough were the "We're not to blame." and talking parts.

EDIT: I feel the need to mention that outro is the most epic thing ever. "BWOW BWOW BWOW BWOW BA BOSH DE BA BWOW!"

If you guys feel the mix is indeed too low we can pull this and get a new version. It's louder than recent HMX DLC which is why the team thought it was still within acceptable levels (although it is lower than the other two Ziltoid tracks to be sure).

So let us know. We can pull it for a louder version if you guys prefer us to do so.

It's not THAT bad, but it could be made better that's for sure.

I wouldn't bother pulling it

I was going to buy the track (as I hope to with all Devy DLC), but if the problems are as noticeable as people are saying, it is definitely putting me off for now.

Just my two pennies.

How much of it is an issue to go in and raise the levels and get the song back out to purchase? I assume it should be long because the chart isn't being altered?
