Mac OSX Latency

[Darkhorse]

Hi,

I'm thinking of getting Rocksmith 2014 on my iMac - it's a 3.4ghz i7 with 8gb RAM and AMD Radeon HD 6970M with 2gb RAM.

I played the previous verion of Rocksmith on the Xbox 360 and had slight latency issues as I could only play through HDMI.

I'm just wondering if anyone here is playing on an iMac and whether they have encountered any latency issues.

Thanks

I would like to know this too. I will be playing on a 2012 iMac 3.4GHz i7, 8GB RAM and GTX 680MX.

The original Rocksmith lagged so bad on Windows it was unplayable for me. The XBOX 360 wasn't that much better. I get no lag at all through my M-Audio Fast Track Pro with Amplitube 3, so I am hoping for similar performance from Rocksmith 2014. :)

I'm downloading it on my MacBook Pro 2.2 GHz i7, 16GB RAM, 6750M. I will let you guys know after the download is complete in a half dozen hours (Guam internet sucks)

I have iMac with 2.9 GHz i5 and Roland Quad-Capture audio interface. Tested couple songs yesterday and there were no problems at all. In fact everyting works much smoother than first version on PS3.

Yeah Rocksmith only lags if your on a bad computer, have technical issues with parts on your side or are using HDMI sound, I don't think any i5+ of any generation is going to struggle on either operating system.

I see some of you are mentioning audio devices, just fyi (you probably already know) but the game does not work standard with audio interfaces other than the official rocksmith cable, there is a few unofficial patches/workarounds but from what I hear they are not nessecarily that stable and dont always work with everything.

Sure thing. I have official input cable but I use USB audio box for output instead of built-in sound device.

I'm on a dual quad-core Mac Pro 2.26 with 32GB of RAM. It runs great. I have not tried it on my MacBook Pro yet.

I'm running it on my 2012 rMBP, external 27in screen and sound output via Apogee Duet USB interface and it runs great - much better than running original version in bootcamp

Thanks for the replies. Just bought it (via Amazon download service) so it's just downloading now.

Edit - seems fine. In fact, there doesn't seem to be any latency at all.

I have a late imac 2012 and the game is insanely good. My only issue has been connecting to the online store to download songs. The game itself is fantastic. Guitar sounds great, and it runs buttery smooth... not a single issue from install...

[Bickalicious]

Yes, it runs great on my MacBook Pro with the specs I showed above.

I am using a late 2012 Mac Mini. It is just awesome and default graphics run very smooth. I am very happy.

No latency neither in a Mac Book Pro Retina 2013 nor a Mac Mini Mid 2010 (8GB RAM).

Using a MBA 2013 with Mavericks, analog sound through the headphone jack, no problems at all.

I purchased locksmith 2014 for mac based on this post. Unfortunately I am getting very bad latency on my 2.7ghz i7 macbook pro with 16gb of ram. I am using an epiphone gibson 335 lookalike. The latency is terrible and it gives me a lot of false negatives. I can see that I am playing the correct note at the correct time but the game registers a miss. Open strings seem to work fine but fret 2 on the D string (E note) is missed by the game most of the time.

Can anyone help?

I am having the same issues warren. I am on an i5-2500k 16gb ram also. I had my latency at 6, and i bumped it up to 9 for the heck of it to see if it improved but had no luck. I am using an old Epiphone Les Paul Custom..dunno if its my guitar or the game...because I am clearly hitting the notes (I hear them lining up perfectly), yet it says im missing a few here and there..which is holding me back from getting that 100% I am working hard for. FE, I am at 85.5% on Deftones Shove it...but i cant get past it because of the chorus not registering a few notes here and there. Any advice? Anyone?
