Rocksmith is different in that you have the physical guitar string that you've struck but you are waiting for the processed sound to come out of the speaker system. I did end up switching to RCA cables and it did lessen the audio delay but it is still there a little bit. It is short enough now though that I was able to compensate for it after a few songs. | |

Added truthiness, thanks BlueRaja!

| Dec 27, 2011 at 23:15 | comment | added | BlueRaja - Danny Pflughoeft | "Since light and sound travel at different speeds" - that has nothing to do with anything. The delays mostly come from the processing time for the television to process the digital signal (analog CRTs did not have this issue, as there was very little to process). A better television will presumably have less delay. Also, there is a completely unavoidable delay in the time it takes the game to recognize the sound: low E has a frequency of about 80Hz, meaning it will take at a minimum a few milliseconds for the game to recognize it. | |
