Tuning issues: Rocksmith vs Reality

Featured Replies

Hi everyone, I am attempting to play through the song Funhouse by P!nk (Creator - Emmy-Dell (https://ignition4.customsforge.com/cdlc/75162)) and no matter what I do it's telling me I'm missing notes constantly. I know I'm hitting the correct chords, and believe the issue to be one of intonation, where it thinks what I'm playing is sharp or flat. I try to use the built in tuning feature in RS, but the notes seem to always be sharp or flat (goes from -15 to +15 in a little micro-turn of my tuners). I eventually pulled up a different tuning program on my Ipad and saw it was detecting my notes perfectly in tune. I've posted a pic of that here - the picture is taken so you can see what my tuner says vs what Rocksmith is saying in the exact same moment (+0 in tuner vs +17 in RS).

Does anyone know what is going with this? Have you seen it before, and do you know how I might be able to correct it? I feel like I'm having this issue with this P!nk song specifically, is it possible for a chart to be labeled as Standard 440 but actually be 445 or something?

 

Thank you the help, this is my first post and I did read the rules, but sorry if I posted in the incorrect place.

As mentioned by Hikikomori, I would suggest using the in game tuner only for the initial tuning check when starting the game/switching tuning and then use a different tuner to make sure you're in tune.

There are a few options like a tuner pedal. You can also use a VST plugin in a DAW if you are so inclined. I personally do this using REAPER since that is my recording DAW and is already in my signal chain for the game.

I'll own you one day. 💜 If you would like to support me by donating, I always appreciate the help.

Thanks for the replies, all great suggestions. I wanted to reply with what the actual problem was since I've now figured it out in case anyone else stumbles across this issue, Turns out it wasn't tuning, but the chart itself. I noticed when I didn't play the first note it actually said I missed two notes which got me thinking maybe there was some duplicate note problems going on. I've never really tried unpacking a song before, but I was able to get it into editor on fire and while I didn't see any duplicate notes, I did try removing anything extra that might be layered on the song including what I think the issue was which was strum direction. With that removed I exported out the file, reintegrated using RS toolkit and loaded it up and sure enough got 100% on my first try. All the notes were registering waaaaaaay better than before.

Hopefully this helps anyone out there looking for help. I did try changing strum directions while playing the original version of the song, but without any kind of indication in how RS displays this it was purely random when I would line up with it and when I wouldn't (AKA strum pattern didn't make any sense IMO and was invisible)

 

I have tried sharing my edited file here in case anyone wants to compare the versions - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LRIb7lvwgUZlFAhV0X2qHJQwQOpc61ZJ/view?usp=sharing
