Shaky Arrow - A Suggestion

[bigfish]

Recently I've been doing a lot of VoxBass, mostly just to enjoy an aspect of the game i haven't done much. But also because I am warming up to make a solos VoxBass ESL2 run. On songs that I am very familiar with the flow of the pitch and the wordss, I do not need to look at the vocal chart at all... and this is how i noticed something.

It appears that the shaky arrow glitch is not a glitch in how the game detects your voice, but only a glitch in the visual representation of the pitch you are singing. In other words, as long as your pitch is correct, you will score appropriately even if the arrow is all over the place.

I think people score poorly when they get shaky arrow because they are adjusting their pitch to try and make the visual representation correct, which is impossible. Next time you get the shaky arrow on a song that you are very familiar with try this. Ignore the arrow and sing what you know to be correct, and see how well you do. I was still hitting percentages that were typical of my vocal skill level on those songs. Maybe I'm wrong about this, but try it out and let me know what you think.

Of course if you get it on a song that you don't know and are dependent on the arrow to adjust pitch you are still screwed.

I've noticed the same thing. If I know the song and just sing what I know, I can beat the shaky arrow no problem. If I'm trying to sight sing by relying on visual cues the shaky arrow owns my butt

ok this is wut i found, yeah that works to a certain degree but you also have to account the diff levels of shaky arrow. There are 3-4 kinds which from 1 & 2 you can easily fc a song your used too. 3 is gonna be a prob and 4 theres no way. you know thats wut alot of singers have found too, but if your suggestion works for you then all da better..

Shaky is one thing, but grey (not solid) is another. If the arrow is solid glowing green, then you are close enough, even if it goes up and down a little (Don't use vibrato if you want it to stay totally still). But if it isn't green, you may have a problem with the microphone connection. Most mics are pretty cheap, and wear out fast. Sometimes the sound isn't clear (like a loose connection) Sometimes restarting the system or unplugging it and plugging it back in works, but not always.

You aint gotta tell me i've spent so much money on this game. i got like 15 diff guitars, rb 1 drums, 2 sets of rb2 drums, ions, 8 diff mics as well as a bunch of other stuff. Not that i can really play of it i just like getting stuff when it comes out...lol

15 guitars!! Holy smokes, I thought my 6 was bad. I'm actually gonna pick up a few more of the GH5 ones now that Red Octane is out of business. Personally I find those to be the best by far. I've had the shaky arrow before as well but I think that was a result of my singing haha.
