View Full Version : Drum timing off during certain songs when guitar present

I'm experiencing problems with the drum beats being off-sync with the music during certain songs when both the guitar and drums are present. The guitar appears to be fine, but the drums are off. I don't think calibration will help.

It was hard to nail down initially because it's not there on most of the songs (~90%). One song I've found specifically problematic is "Maps". I play this song almost flawlessly on solo, then when the guitar is added it's difficult for me to get above 85% because it's not on beat with the music. The drums have to be timed early (which is extremely hard to do because you have to ignore the song), but the guitar is fine. Mutliple poeple in my house have verified this and it's extremely frustrating.

Is anyone else having this issue??? Should I call Tech support?

Make sure that you are using the same lag calibration settings for Solo play and Band World Tour play. I would make sure that the band leader's profile is the one you are signed in with for both solo and multiplayer play and that his profile is the one with the correct lag calibration. Or if you are playing with a different profile in solo play than that of the band leader is multiplayer play, make sure your settings match up.

Wow, thanks A LOT!!!!

I didn't realize there are different settings for each instrument on EACH PROFILE. I just figured since we're playing on the same TV that it would figure the drum calibration to be the same. After switching the calibration things are much better. I guess I was just having problems on certain songs if the drum is more pronounced... Maps, Welcome Home, etc.

THANKS A BUNCH!!!!
