The Rock Band Thread

[K3V]

It's got a decent riff in it at least, it'd be the one song of his I would half consider getting. But I won't.

Needs more I WANT TO GET AWAY I WANT TO GET AWAY I WANT TO GET AWAY I WANT TO GET AWAY YEAH

[Cheebs]

How did it work out for you?

Dude, it works!

I think I know what's up:

If HDTVs lag the picture, the TV manufacturer must know this and intentionally lag the sound to match the video. Otherwise everything would be all out of sync while watching TV.

So in video game land, any audio that hits the TV (like from an HDMI cable into the TV for example) gets this "makeup lag". You can calibrate Rock Band to accept what it thinks are "late hits" and thus play the majority of the game just fine...except for the fills.

But with the sound going into the Roland instead of the TV, the makeup lag is never an issue. Hit the drum, make a sound. I imagine this would work with any audio anything that is not connected to the TV in any way. Like a headphone amp and headphones or a power amp and speakers.

One of you guys try that. I'm too lazy. Plug the red and white RCAs from the Zboz into a stereo reciever without ever hitting the TV and see if the drum fill lag is gone.

If anyone wants to play, hit me up, I'm on now.

[Josh]

I'd play. If it was the daytime.

[Netwurked]

Kevin, I do not want to play with you.

[K3V]

Besides, it's TOO LOUD!

[jyoung]

Nah, he just can't handle how small the notes get when you're playing multiplayer.

[Bacon McShig]

I wouldn't mind their rendition of Smooth Criminal appearing in RB.

I don't know why I keep getting disconnected randomly with K3V/Bacon, and couldn't get a song in with Weeman/Scudnick the other day. Fucking netcode.
