Harmonix Holiday Livestreamaganza on 12/19! Q&A, DLC reveal & giveaways FOR CHARITY!

If it's not too late to ask a question, I would like to know if you guys ever licensed a song(s) from an artist and were asked to hold them until they did a promotion with no promotion planned at the time?

Q: Of all your games (Guitar Hero included), which one had your most favorite setlist?

Question: Any plans to upgrade the Vocalist experience in Rock Band? I'd love to see the sound effects that are used in the song used on the actual voice (reverb, distortion, etc)., and if this was able to be sent to other players when playing online, so much the better. Minimally would like to see a few bonus point opportunities like Lips (Vibrato bonus, pitch bonus, etc). Make the vocalists as important as the rest of the band.

Ooh, yeah, MORE vocal latency, just what we wanted!

Also, vocalists don't really need bonus point opportunities, they're usually the highest scorers.

Question: In the music store, why isn't there a cart option like on Amazon, where you can take all the songs you want to buy in the future, so you don't have to continually go through the entire store to buy songs. It would save time and be much more user friendly.

Also, if you could have all the songs from one Guitar Hero game completely which one would it be? (This is hypothetical of course)

I'm pretty sure doing the change without latency was implied .. as for the need for bonus points, it's more to give vocalists incentive for singing in correct octave, and with proper technique (or at least better technique).

Just suggestions...

Speaking of vocals:

Why is there only 2 lines for lyrics when there is 3 singers possible? There are a few song where all three are singing different things at the same time and it can get a bit confusing (Tubthumping comes to mind).

What are HMX'ers most wanted songs that are not in the game? (That's right Henry, you need a new one)

We'll actually be announcing my NEW most wanted DLC act in the livestream tonight. I am very excited.

Thanks to everyone for submitting questions! I'm closing the thread for now since we're going live in about an hour, but will do my best to pop in over the course of the week to respond to questions that we're not able to address on the livestream. Oh, I'll have to come back here to send free DLC to the people who get their questions read on air as well. Consider it thanks for contributing to an awesome community driven project.

I'm guessing someone else will open up a livestream DLC discussion thread as we start announcing artists and answering questions, so please keep an eye out for that. Also, be sure to check the OP for links to the livestream and PLEASE make a donation to Child's Play. Even if you can't tune in, it would be awesome if everyone sent a little something their way. They are an amazing charity that provides games for sick kids, pediatric wards and reception rooms and they provide kids with a much needed distraction that also helps with mental and physical rehabilitation. More than any discussion or any announcements we make, this is the most important part of the night.

See you guys on the livestream!
