Syncing notes?

[rummhamm87]

So I have some questions about syncing notes in EOF. I know you're supposed to use the vertical bars and not move notes, but what do you do if say there are a couple notes that are wrong and you need to change them or say you move the bars on lead and you check out the bass section and a couple notes are off by a millisecond? If you move those few notes on bass will it mess things up? As far as the anchors go. Should I delete the anchors out after I'm finished with all the sections or does that matter?

 

Thank you for any help in advance

A few milliseconds isn't a big deal, RS is already nice enough to let you some slack on the timing so no need to be perfect at one milliseconds since you won't notice it anyway.

 

If you really need to move note, that's not a problem as long as they are on the grid but that should be some final adjustement to a small amount of note.

 

About the anchors, deleting them won't change anything unless you want to start messing again with the beat map so keeping them takes no time and can actually be helpfull if you want to redo some part.

If you had correctly sync all vertical bars (the rhythm is in sync with the soundtrack) and you didn't modify the notes and chords technics, you can :

- [Edit][selection][select All]

- Remove all notes with the [Delete] Key

- Import the track from you GuitarPro file

=> all notes are now exactly adjusted with your tempo 

This is the same method when you sync one track and then, you import the other ones without any more efforts in the sync process.

 

If a few notes are at the wrong place, you can modify the Guitar Pro file or the note position in EOF.

When I do this (rare situations), I define first a grid-snap in EOF (1/16 or 1/32 or 1/64 of a beat) to avoid the random notes positions.

 

As firekorn said in the previous post, RS2014 is permissive about the timing position for notes and chords, but many users encounter some issues in the Riff Repeater when the sync process is not well done.

 

If you want to use DDC and have good results with it, you have to define carefully :

- The time signature,

- The rhythm sync with the soundtrack (measures and beats identified by vertical bars in EOF)

- The notes and chords sync with the rhythm

- The sections of the song
