The more I mess with the song creator, the more little cool things I discover, and the more little annoying/confusing things too. Anyone else notice the weird inconsistency when using custom scales? It's hard to explain what's going on, but the sound quality just sounds muddy and bad. When setting each note in the scale, the quality is normal, and the octave is correct. But then when the scale is auto played back, it's different. The guitar samples are muddy, and the pitches are sometimes in the wrong octave (changing the root note does nothing to fix this). Anyone else noticed this? Again it's hard to explain and makes no sense. But from what I can tell, using custom scales kind of sucks. Luckily I can get access to any note I could need by mixing and matching the pre-made scales, but still, this is annoying and there's no reason it should do this.

Also, since today's patch, there's some mislabeled notes now that it indicates the note as it passes over them in GHmix. also, some of the notes that are laid out either disappear, or they're there, but they make no sound. (and I lay out all my notes manually, so this isn't the usual "play something live, then edit in GHmix and some notes are gone" thin)

Does anyone have an answer as to why, after I record tracks for each of the instruments, I can only choose to play drums and bass (and once I had the option of playing rhythm, and that was like my 8th custom. What did I do different that time?).

I laid out a seriously wicked and random lead guitar track that lasted about 2 minutes, only to find out I couldn't play it.

And what is the recording studio for? Anything I play in the recording studio doesn't get saved or anything. Even when I save it.

... And nothing shows up in GHMix either.

I don't have the game but think it would be super awesome if someone made a song that was a compilation of famous bits of different songs in GH/RB history, I'm thinking They're Hammer Ons into Mosh 1 and so on

Can someone make it for a week on Friday? XD

yeah the notes are correct, just they're sometimes in the wrong octave, no matter how many times I set the scale. And it's always muddy sounding when I use a custom scale. I'm re-doing my first song without using any custom scales (major scales, but having to adjust the selected preset scale every few notes). it's a pain in the ass, but it sounds MUCH better.

i have just discovered a way of making long streams of ho/po's
the "Apeggiator" (not sure if its spelled right) its under lead then lead machine. and just actually listen to the tutorials to learn how to use it.

and sorasgoof you sure you recording it? cause you have to move the knob right then left to record then after that just save it.

I've got a pretty good understanding of it if anyone needs help...

OK, I've downloaded a couple songs and I've created one of my own, and none of the songs allow me to play lead guitar. I can only choose between rhythm and bass. Is it because I'm on a GH3 Les Paul and can't use the touchpad?
