Rock band guitar setup

Unlike the earlier Guitar Hero games, all Rock Band games require some sort of compatible music game controller. In terms of differentiation the most obvious difference between Guitar Hero and Rock Band is in the instruments on which they focus. This guitar -focus differentiated the kinds of songs you would get with Guitar Hero from those that you would hear on Rock Band, with the latter having a more mainstream appeal. Your best bet is to look for used last-gen wireless equipment.

Rock Band 4 is confirmed to be supported on next-gen platforms. There are several methods, but the key parts are maintaining the relaxed coils and stacking layers from one end to the other. This allows you to pull the cable from your bag, lay it on the ground and pull one end as needed.

As a bonus the cable will lay down on the floor without loops standing up to trip over. If it is just your band on stage, you may not need to tape the flat laying cables. Too many amps and not enough space. Sometimes the stage is so small that running out of space is unavoidable, but if possible, your band can try stacking the amps. Just make sure that the amps stack securely and you're good to go. This is more difficult with heads and cabs, but still a very helpful tactic to save space.

The PA speakers are getting in the way. If your band provides its own PA system at gigs, make sure that the PA speakers are equipped with the proper stands.

Not only does this reduce the overall stage footprint of the speakers, but it elevates them up to six feet, for a much better projection than you would get with the PA speakers on the floor. If you have not seen the trend of column speakers, this is one of their big benefits. This really helps on small stages and wide rooms where traditional mains speakers would block a large portion of the stage. Too much space and not enough band members. If you are a small band playing on a large stage, don't feel like you need to take up the whole stage.

It can be difficult to communicate well as a band when each member is forty feet apart, so don't hesitate to set up closer to each other and move your amps closer to the drummer where all members can hear clearly. The lights on both the guitar and dongle will flash temporarily. Once the lights stabilize, the sync is completed.
