Latency Calibration for Coda / Bolt

[r2rokid]

Hi everyone!

 

I've recently gotten into practicing Coda and Bolt Low % (I'm thinking of working on Lowest of the Low first), and I seemed to have found a magical calibration number of 100ms in audio for the both of them.

 

However, the issue is that slower characters (like Cadence, Aria, etc.) seem to end up being off-sync with the beat using this calibration. I'm thinking that I'll also have to adjust my video latency as a result.

 

Is there an optimal calibration that can be done so that double tempo and the slower tempo characters could be properly synced?

I'm not really sure, but I think if it is working in double tempos but not for normal tempos then the latency is miscalibrated.

 

I think it is worth to try and change the video latency as well. And try audio 50ms (a middle ground between 0ms and 100ms)

Thank you for the video. I think I found the perfect latency for Bolt.

And small tip (i wasted like 1hr of calibration due to that). If you think you got it right for ex. on zone 4 or DM but keep failing on slower songs - check if your latency isn't too high so you miss whole beat (king conga is great to check that)

Probably best to just switch latency mid run to double speed to normal speed, not worth the risk of randomly missing beats from moving the slightest offbeat.
