So after having this tone issue for a good two years, I can say that I think I have an idea of how to fix this problem. While some may say this issue is not performance related, I disagree. Alongside the tone bug I noticed that while playing that my FPS would drop while playing songs at random points in various songs. I have an older custom built PC and while it’s older it should be able to handle this game with no issues. So after playing with the Rocksmith.ini file I configured it best for my system. (This could be totally different for others depending on your machine.

Screenshots of my 3-D settings within the NVidia graphics http://imgur.com/a/8ZtT6 I manually configured the 3-D settings within the NVidia graphic card settings for Rocksmith by adding it to the list of games, I pretty much turned everything extra off to maximize the best possible performance. This should be possible with Radeon cards and Intel integrated graphics Chips, I would suspect the settings are very simllar. This was the key factor for me, once Rocksmith was running smooth as possible it was like playing on a different machine, I have not had the tone bug since. I played with the tone designer and session mode which pretty much always forced me to have a tone bug. I think the key factor is getting it to run as smooth as possible and the best way to do that is configuring the graphics card settings manually.

Thank you ! That worked wonderfully!

I have a quick question about the Macstore - Rocksmith 2014 for $14.98 Sale, does anyone know if I buy this version I will get both the PC / Mac Versions on steam, since it is just an activation code, and normally when you buy a steam game you are given both versions, or would I need to buy it directly thru stream to have it for both of the platforms?
