The
Rock Band music store won't be the only thing added by the forthcoming patch, with several fixes to the game included as well. Harmonix states that the patch fixes "some of the common issues" it's heard about on Rockband.com.
- Fan cap revision -- Increase on number of fans possible before cap. Easy players can travel across Atlantic, Medium players have a wider range of venues and Hard players on the Xbox 360 can unlock "One Million Fans" achievement.
- Increased diversity in Band World Tour song selection.
- Improved phoneme recognition -- Improved detection and scoring for phoneme recognition. Examples are songs like Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld and Blitzkrieg Bop.
- Microphone latency on PS3 improved.
- Xbox 360 band logos now visible through Xbox LIVE -- Parental controls prevented band logos from being visible over Xbox LIVE.
- Faster loading of DLC -- Songs are cached for a one time wait.
The company admits that this does not fix every issue out there and states Harmonix is "listening to all of your requests, and actively want to get these features onto the
Rock Band platform in the future."

The mic delay is supposedly the same issue, which is why I'm wondering if its fixed or not.

Yes, I know that we could set up a secondary account and sing/play guitar or whatever, but I much prefer playing, say, Hard Drums to playing Easy on both vocals and drums or guitar or whatever. Plus, I've been playing piano for more than 20 years and I STILL have trouble playing and singing at the same time. Makes it really tough to do both for a guy like me.

I just got good enough to sing expert and play Hard Bass and hit hte cap at 600,000 and my chances of going any further were slim to none before this patch. Now I can play again!

Am also looking forward to a Live-enabled World Tour. As many ppl as we know whom also have RB, would love to tour w/ them instead of just quickplay.
If this game doesn't come out PERFECT with ALL of the DLC available online then... well... I'll be even more annoyed. If they try to drip feed that shit to us 5 months behind the Americans, or, worse, don't give it to us at all (hello, downloadable TV shows) then they can bugger the hell off. I'll buy myself a small hut and a baseball and entertain myself old school like Steve McQueen. Steve wouldn't stand for this shit.

Maybe they should block band logos, our band is called the Vagina Pirates (it's an inside joke) so we made out logo look somewhat like a vagina with V P around it. Of course it's all from stuff that was in the game but still, I'm sure people can make worse things, especially since they can spell out whatever they want.
