So confused about calibration!

[Toxicity-]

Im terribly confused about all this calibration business. I happen to know that my TV has an 8ms response time. I've played a lot of GH and when I set it to 8ms it plays perfectly but I dont seem to be able to do that with Rock Band. I can only set it to 5 or 10 ms. 10 is close but its not close enough. I find it way too hard to get it perfect by strumming or I dont even know if its possible to get it at 8ms or if it can only be set at intervals of 5ms. Is there anyway to set it to 8ms?? Please help me. Its making guitar and bass terribly unfun in Rock Band :(

I seriously doubt 2ms is going to make that much of a difference.

Well it seems to make a difference. Mainly with hammer ons. Unless its just the Rock Band guitar but my girlfriend seems to have trouble with it as well and she just uses a Guitar Hero guitar.

The TV's response time doesn't directly correlate to the A/V delay. It has to do with the difference between when a note hits the center of the target on screen and when the sound of that note reaches your ears.

Chances are, if you're having issues with hammer-ons, it's just as likely it has to do with controller lag as A/V delay

I tried to explain it in the thread in my sig. Check page 2. I hope that helps.

I concour that 3ms is pretty marginal. Enough so that if it's making or breaking your ability to play, then your calibration is way way off anyway.

It could also be that the timing window for HO/POs in RB is waaaaaaaay smaller than it was in GH3. I had problems with it in RB when I first started cause GH3 let me be so sloppy with them, but you get used to it after a short while :)
