We never recommend using HDMI as your primary sound source.

I guess I'll never get this game.

There are so many factors to this. How old is the HDMI cord? Early versions don't have the same bandwidth. What is the response rate of the TV your are using this on? Are you running it through a Receiver? I think that is the reason for this disclosure. They are letting customers know the path of least resistance.

I have used HDMI from day one on both my 3 year old 65 inch Mits. My son had played this game on our LG 47 inch LED TV. Both using HDMI and both with no sound issues.

Not saying people don't have issues one bit but people have problems all the time with game consoles & HDMI. People have handshake issues between TV, Receiver, Blu Ray Player and Console.

I know at least 5 people with this game and we all play via HDMI only with no issues at all with sound. We can't all be lucky. My guess is most people (not all) that have issues are the same people that would have handshake issues anyway because of some component of their system.

Why would the game manufacturer not recommend using HDMI? The idea of that is absurd to me.

Because there are so many factors with equipment what you do is tell everyone to use analog audio cables. Makes perfect sense to me. You ensure the easiest way for the largest number of people to enjoy the game with no issues.

However, like I said, nobody I know is having issues via HDMI. That includes a RPTV, Local Dimming LED, Plasma, LCD and Edge Lit TV's. I would say that pretty much runs the gamut.

Doesn't explain why other games, even other music based games, (mainly Guitar Hero/RockBand) recommend HDMI, while RockSmith has not recommended using HDMI. They were able to program around many of HDMI shortcomings where RockSmith has not.

I don't think that is the case. I have owned every Rock Band and expansion pack just about and on 2 of them with my sons LCD we had to use the audio sync feature because of the delay. That didn't happen on Rock Smith.

I believe the problem is the lag time between you plucking the string and the speaker sound. That isn't something that matters in the plastic world.

Drops today. Fixes basically every problem I had with the original. Can use the same cable, import the previous songs. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be busy butchering Everlong.

 

[BigRedRage]

have you gone from not being able to play a guitar to learning how to play it? Can you jam outside of the game or still need it to form tunes? If it actually teac hes someone who cannot play a guitar to be able to play it well, I will buy it.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Yeah, the success rate is very good.

Nobody wants to rock out with me

3. Twerking-NO

HTH

Got this for Christmas...got a guitar off craigslist Monday. Having a blast over the last 2 days. I think it is funny that they say an hour a day for 60 days. I don't think I will have a problem doing an hour a day. It is fun to play.

I will report back on the progress later.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Awesome. What kind of a guitar did you find?

Its a Yamaha J B Player. What I am calling Cardinal Red. And a Crate amp.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Nice! I've got a Yamaha acoustic, very pleasant sound to it.
