cant play technique games due to tuner
I tune my bass to EADG and it doesn't let me play the technique games, it still says its out of tune and that I need to re-tune it. Has anyone had this problem before and found a fix for it?
Any help is much appreciated!!

Follow the forums and don't be afraid to learn the intricacies of setting up your own guitar. All my infuriating note recognition issues came from poor guitar setup so it's worth at least learning how to correct the instruments intonation all the way up the neck (even changing string gauge/material can affect this) and how to optimise pickup height. These were the significant factors affecting even my new guitar. Rocksmith can be VERY fussy about hardware setup. I view it positively as all part of the guitar learning process.

Have you tried tuning with the mini tuner in the paused screen instead of the main tuner screen?

appreciate the tips, I actually think you can't play technique with a bass because in the tuner it says that I need to make sure I'm using a guitar not a bass. So unless either of you or someone else has played the games with a bass I don't know if I can. But I don't have a keyboard and I can't get to the tuner in the paused screen because that gives me the same results when I know I'm tuned properly.

The tuner in this game is incapable of providing an accurate tune, especially on bass. Get yourself a Peterson clip on and you will never have another out of tune instrument of any kind. If you have intonation issues you will never know it relying on the Rocksmith tuner. It's not accurate or sensitive enough to dial in tunings, especially if you're switching a lot. I know it's not the cheapest tuner out there but, it will pay off in the long run. It's much easier to learn and way more enjoyable when your instrument is set up correctly and in tune. You're not just training your hands when you play, you are also training your ear.

Might sound a bit dumb but is your control path set up as bass or guitar? That might be causing the issue?

appreciate recommendation, I will look into it. Do you know if this will solve this issue and allow me to play the technique games? Because that is my foremost concern with this issue.

It could also be the cable. Its not the greatest quility and it can additional issues on top of any other issues.

thank you all for the tips and ideas, but I've found the problem and feel rather stupid about this whole thing now and would rather not explain what the problem was. Once again thank you!

Hey Mr Dog :) I suppose we can only speculate, but it's good that the OP managed to solve the issue already, and we probably don't need to pry, as long as they don't still need assistance :steamhappy:
