    So I’m trying a song I had charted I turned into a Martian from the misfits and in expert mode everything seems to be synced up well but when I play hard which is what I usually play anyways it is off sync by like half a second or less. Is there something I can do to fix this?

      Post your RPP file + audio.

      here are the rpp + wav file + mid file used in rpp. i played bass on hard and it seems to be good there. so im just thinking it might be just guitar but your the experts <img decoding=” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” />

        I can’t say why H would be off and X would not, but you are not autoring to a tempo map, that’s the one thing you need to know to start off with the right feet. <img decoding=” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif”> You need to tempo map the song (we have videotutorials on that, btw) so that once you’ve done so, your notes fall neatly on the grid lines and they don’t drift along with the song. Essentially tempo map locks the tempo with the song, so that in example the first note you put down is always going to be on the 1 of measure 3, regardless of how slow or fast your song is. This isn’t a “I don’t care enough to do it” kind of thing, it WILL make life harder if you don’t because it will feel off while playing and because bringing the song up to standard in the future will be a mess. Your call obviously but I strongly suggest taking a look at our tutorials and at RBN docs. <img decoding=” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif”>

        I’ve got a question I’ve checked a few sites looking for a comparison of bpms as I’m up in the 250s between markers and my song is supposedly 125-129. Is this normal or am I doubling g my markers?

          125 * 2 = 250. Checks out.

           

          99.9% of songs are under 160 bpm.

          so then i dont need to change that tempo map. cause i tried to change the amount of markers and bpm but it didnt seem to line up with the wav file.

            You can get away with using a 2x tempo if you halve the beat markers. If you’re authoring vocals, you should use a 1/128 grid instead of a 1/64 grid, to keep the proper accuracy.
