GuitarHero/RockBand fans... side project anyone?

[Danni Coy]

Have you looked at Rocksmith? If I were going to spend a lot time
doing a guitar/music game - I would probably look in that direction.
As far as I know most audio professionals consider lantencies under
20ms acceptable but preferably smaller. from what I understand the
brain itself has a latency of about 12ms.
