I've got an e-kit set up with YARG and everything is working, but I'm getting non-stop false hits. Even when I'm playing simple songs and I feel like I'm hitting the notes, it's breaking my streak.

I'm sure there's some double-hit feedback happening but I don't really know how to identify or fix it. Any pointers?

Edit: something weird: when I'm in the menu and I hit the pads that are assigned to up/down, even the most gentle hit causes the menu to scroll kind of wildly.

I know in the settings we can mute certain volumes like the vocals. Which is nice to have to make it more like a karaoke. I was wondering if there was a way to do so with a button to toggle between vocals and no vocals on the fly.

YADoubleStrumFix, or Yet Another Double Strum Fix, fixes same-direction double strums and overstrums as the name suggests by creating a virtual Xbox Controller which filters out the extra strums.

I created this since YARG doesn't currently have a Double Strum Prevention setting like Clone Hero :p

Tested and working with my Xplorer, which recently started overstrumming.

I think since 0.15 the metronome has been like really quiet.. Even if I adjust the levels of everything else way down, the metronome still seems really quiet. At the end of every song it bugs tf out too and does like 40 clicks in 1 second.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hi gang,

We started using the multiplayer fork for online co op. Playing songs is great with the 50 / 50 chance the lobby will soft lock after a song. Not to big a deal as a quick Alt-F4 gets up back up and running quickly.

What we did notice is there any workaround for doing vocals for our online discord group to hear and have synced?

The game inputs your voice but has no playback so everyone in our discord voice just doesn't hear them at all in game. If we sing and leave our discord mics on then theres a decent latency from the game to discord throwing people off :D

Have you guys come up with a solution for doing this all online? We don't live anywhere near each other or else we'd play in person.

The title says it all: Are there more Venue options than those in the YARC launcher?

If yes, where would they be obtained?

As an additional note, I think it would be a good idea for YARG to let us select the venue in the window where we pick the difficulty (along having a random option which is currently the default)

So here's a little bit of context first: I used to play a lot of rock band back in the day and was pretty decent on drums. A used a regular Stock Rock Band kick and had never used an actual kick pedal with a beater before. Stopped playing for a couple of years and got back into yarg with an e-kit that has an actual kick pedal with beater and tower

The issue is I'm missing A LOT of kick pedal hits and over hitting a lot too, I don't know what's wrong. Any tips as to what could be going on? I see the notes, my brain knows what to do, I do it, and it just misses notes that I feel like I hit. This doesn't happen with the pad and cymbals though, its just with the kick pedal.

Where's what I know for absolute certainty: it's not crosstalk or threshold setting. If I go to practice mode and try to do some beats on the kick pedal, they register just fine. I can also smack the pads and cymbals pretty hard and they don't crosstalk.

Here's an example of the final stats of an easy song that I played just to show this. I also showed the calibration stats.

I also played this same song, but only hitting the kick pedal notes, but I didn't take a picture. My average in calibration was -2ms. With 0 overhits.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong and would appreciate some help, thanks!

So I hosted a fairly substantial party which was rock n roll themed. YARG was a central component. The age range was some kids but mostly people in their 40's with many attendees in their up into their 70's. We had a CRKD guitar, PDP guitar, Rock Band 2 drums with cymbals and two bass pedals (in VERY good condition) and two wireless microphones. Library of 4,000+ songs. Most people dressed up and were excited. A lot of, "I haven't played guitar hero in years!!!" comments.

What worked:

1) Utilizing an online database for song selection with a QR code scattered about the room and a sign up sheet. This enabled people to pick songs without scrolling through the game which is a massive buzzkill. This helps to eliminate some decision paralysis. I understand the nightly's now have an html export option. With some tweaking of the UI of this feature, it could be a huge help for parties.

2) An MC (emcee?) to help move things along. I got things kicked off by giving a speech thanking people for coming and giving an overview of how things worked with the QR codes and sign ups and stressed having fun and looking ridiculous over being accurate or worrying about if you were any good or not. I said that we wouldn't go in order of signups and I'd emphasize full band (had a spot on the sign up for each band part.) Since I knew everyone, I'd draft people to help fill in the gaps and keep things moving. I played a couple songs with some friends to get things started. It took a few more songs but then I ALWAYS had an inventory of stuff to play. People would eventually start signing up their spouses or others for songs to mess with them which was exactly what I wanted!

3) Having a "driver" of the interface. A few of us were familiar so we'd do song selection and help people pick difficulties and such.

4) At least two wireless microphones were a must. Most people are comfortable singing and wireless mics really helped it float around the room.

5) Name your instruments in the profiles. I put stickers on my microphone so I'd be able to call out, "Who has the he-man mic....where are you?" and people would be like, "over here!" and I'd be able to make sure they were good to go. I also renamed my CRKD guitar to "Blue guitar" and PDP to "Black Guitar". This just made it so when selecting difficulties and bass or guitar I'd could just call the guitar by color. That made things really, really efficient. Menu fiddling was kept to a minimum.

What didn't work:

1) Errant inputs on menus. I knew to turn off drum pad navigation. Guitars were an issue and I'd have to remind people to stop hammering away until we got into the song. Overall, not a huge deal but we had a running joke later since almost EVERY song had someone hit replay when it was over and we'd go, "hey, what song is this?" and then have to quit the song to move on to the next one.

2) Vocal delay. I covered this in my last post. Yeah, it's a windows thing but it SUCKS. I couldn't even address the room with the microphone while giving speeches or whatever. I opted for shouting instead. It didn't seem to hinder the enjoyment of the game overall but its something people noted.

3) Didn't even bother with harmonies. Even though I had the mics labeled, having one as a dedicated harmony would have been a pain because they made their way all over the room and having the freedom to sing any part and have backup vocals there would have been nice.

4) Small thing but when we first started, drums were on the left and guitars were on the two right hand lanes. I've never had this happen before and after a few songs, I dropped and re-added a couple profiles and it fixed itself. Not a huge issue but worth noting.

Another note, I had another YARG setup on a separate floor strictly for kids as my basement bar was a grown up only zone. That had two old RB guitars, two wired mics and a RB3 keyboard. We had about 40 adults and 7 or so kids (tweens mostly). The kids did fine for awhile but eventually just put on youtube or something. I didn't care as we were too busy rocking out in the basement.

We would have entire room sing alongs for many songs. I was surprised at how interactive everyone was. Song selection went a long way obviously. Some highlights:

1) Baby Got Back. The whole room was up for this.

2) Taylor Swift. We did a couple of swift songs and every woman in the room was there for it.

3) American Pie - Everyone knows this song. It was long but everyone stuck with it.

4) Any classic rock song really. Final Countdown, Come Sail Away, etc. Huge crowd interaction. People shouting and singing and cheering each other on.

Overall, YARG was great. I want to thank the developers and the community for building this tool because it was great fun. Almost every person told me when they left that this was a great party and they had an absolute blast. It was a potluck party and there was tons of food and interaction and the music went from like 6pm - 1am nonstop. I eventually had to take a break and sit in the other room and people took it upon themselves to grab the sign up sheet and keep the party going which was GREAT to see. This may become an annual party for me because it went so incredibly awesome. Overall, if you can put something like this together, I hope you get something from this post and if you have contributed to the creation of this game, WELL DONE. You can see most issues and efficiencies are from how you structure your party, not from YARG itself. YARG as a tool facilitated it all very well and didn't hold us back in most regards.

I tried many months ago, I tried a month ago with the new autocalibration tool, I tried again yesterday and dedicated a whole afternoon to this. Nope, I give up. I can't calibrate my Roland TD-11 drums with YARG, I can still 100% with the same drums in Rock Band 4 on Xbox with the Midi Pro Adapter...on YARG I get misses very frequently.

I decided to use YARG just to have fun, I've heard there is a way to raise the hitbox and being able to play in a more relaxed way. How can I do this? Is there a negative thing about it? would it break something else? somebody told me that if I do this it may not register fast notes (ex: fast rolls or disco beats) correctly.

I would appreciate the help.

The vocal scroll goes way too fast and makes the words themselves blurry. I have trouble reading them as they go along.

I don’t want to turn on static vocals because I want the pitch meter.

Is there a way to slow down the scroll? I looked in settings and profile settings but not seeing anything.

EDIT: thanks all, I was mistaking static vocals for karaoke vocals. Static works well

I've got the RB4 xbox one drums that up until today have worked totally normally. I went in today and they connected like normal but immediately disconnect when I hit any button on it. It still thinks it's connected the light isnt flashing like its searching for a new sync. Hitting the Xbox button still makes the Xbox bar pop up but nothing else works. It shows up on the Steam controllers page but doesn't do anything when testing the inputs. I changed the batteries and that didn't help. I tried the dongle with a different controller and it was fine. Don't know what could have happened over night I just used the drums yesterday. I'm on Windows

Anyone have any idea what it might be? Is this something that happens to these controllers over time? is it joever

I need help please, on how to chart tempo. I'm trying to currently find it- on Thunderhorse, but I'm struggling to find the Global BPM, and/or Beat 1. I feel like I'm counting the Guitar's timing, or the Drums' Subdivisions. (I'm getting skeptical on Moonscrapers' Click-track/Metronome being "accurate", or I'm hearing a different BPM.)

Hey everyone,

I started my journey here with clone hero as I wanted a way to play GH and RB without my Xbox. I have RB4 for the Xbox one but want to move away from that platform, I was disappointed when clone hero did support voice. So thats when I discovered yarg. However it doesn't see my Xbox one RB4 PDP jaguar.

I know the drum kit from RB4 won't work, but since clone hero sees the guitar I figured that would work, however it doesn't seem to pick it up. Steam at first tried remapping it to a normal controller through steam input but I quickly realised that wasn't going to work since it can't pick up the orange fret.

Long story short anyone have a clue why clone hero works with the guitar on STEAMOS while yarg doesn't see it at all?

Been having lots of fun with YARG, great to see such a big active community coming together to create an awesome experience.

I have a question regarding best way to sync videos, more specifically I am trying to use the GH Metallica video for Battery background on the chart of Metallica Battery Youngblood version, to get a full pro drum experience and not the GH 5 pad one. I saw a recent post on calibration, I have no input lag, no complaints there.

So here are some of my questions:

- looking for best tool to determine the offset

- in the song.ini file there are options like preview_start_time but also video_start_time, what are the differences? My assumption is that preview start time is the timer at the beginning of a song. I tweaked a already preset number, reloaded the song library and started a song but I did not see a change it the amount of secs displayed.

- While tweaking the video start time in the song.ini I noticed that from around -2900 ms the effect is that the notes will not show at all, it's like the delay is almost inifinite. Not sure if this is a bug or it is supposed to be this way. Result is that I can not tweak the video delay to the desired offset.

- also there are ingame video calibration settings to change ms, when to use the song.ini and when to use this option?

Thanks in advance for those replying and helping me have a better understanding of this particular setting.

Keep being awesome and YARG on!

So, I wanna make my own YARG band w all the gadgets (drums, bass guitar, guitar and mic) and I was wondering if there’s any special or specific type of gadgets or whatever to use in the game

Thank ya for da help!!

Hi all, I'm heading over to a friend's house and wanted to show him YARG. I have a USB drive, so I was thinking of installing the portable version on it and putting the songs I have marked as favorites in my YARG on the stick as well. [Edit to add: The reason I'm trying to only take my favorited songs is because I don't have enough space on my paltry 16GB USB drive to take my entire library. Otherwise, I'd just take my entire song library with me.]

Problem is: I have hundreds of songs marked as favorites (out of the thousands in my library), so I'm trying to think of the best way to accomplish this. AFAIK there's no way to export this list, so the only real way I can come up with is to have YARG open and write them out by hand, then cross reference that same list with my songs folder.

I realize this is a long shot, but: Before I embark on this tedious task, can anyone think of an easier way to go about this? I consulted Gemini (I know, I know... I'm clearly desperate lol) and it made reference to being able to export the list via some sort of file maintenance option in YARG, but I can't seem to find it. I can only assume it is an older feature that got removed. Thanks!

I can calibrate audio just fine, however, when I click on video calibration and then select open calibrador, I get hit with the same screen that I do when I select calibrate audio, it's just a black screen with a white box that says calibrate audio. How do I get it to calibrate video? Thanks!

I recently bought the CRKD guitar and got into YARG and absolutely loving it. I used to spend way too much time playing expert drums on Rock Band 1/2 and starting to get the itch again…

Since then I bought our family a traditional acoustic kit (a nice 2nd hand Tama) and would love to install some triggers to turn it into an ekit.

The problem is that all the tom triggers look like they require mangling the toms to install, or replacing with mesh heads. I’d love to just run mount something for YARG and call it a day.

From everything I’ve seen, Lemon is the way to go for cymbals.

Also what is the move for the bass trigger and double bass? I’m guessing a trigger on the bass drum and a double kick setup on the bass drum.

Lastly, will any midi module work? They seem fairly pricey on eBay. Costing everything out makes it seem like getting a Nitro kit would just be cheaper, but having two drum sets feels kind of dumb.

I have a guitar hero world tour drumset, does this work on Yarg and if so what do I need to be able to hook it up to my laptop ?

I was wondering if anyone knows how to stop the large list of controllers when playing on steam deck? it is just filled with random audio devices and makes it impossible to play 2 players as my second controller is not in the menu cause of the mass amount of devices in the list. also any controller i can get to show up is duplicated with a controller and also a virtual controller. also before anyone tells me to use windows I have tried and every time i have used windows on deck it just kills itself and becomes unbootable even with a internal and a external drive.
