hello, i was wondering if anyone had looked into what causes the tone drop? i used to think it was on a cdlc where the author didn't add in a bass tone to the package, but i have had the issue on customs where there is an assigned tone. so i hope someone had done some more serious looking into it and might have some answers. for a long time, i sometimes didn't notice the tone drop. the bass would still sound like a bass with no effects with a lower volume. once i noticed the issue, i changed my preset tone #4 to be ORION by metallica, which just howls. so it's easy to know when you've turned it on. and i sporadically test it in game to make sure that the tone is still working. 2 days ago i did a session with all official dlc and game songs and that was 100 percent fine. at the end, i changed to ORION and it still worked. yesterday, i played dlc and pretty much after the first song, which did have a tone in it's package, the tone dropped. so for the rest of the game, the tone is just a bass with no effects, but the game still tracks my playing ok. i have the most recent update of RS, a pc with win 7, CFSM 1.3 and all my cdlc has been repaired in the song manager. i guess compared to the problems some people have had, i have it easy, but it'd be nice to figure out the cause of the problem. thanks!!
