6 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe music aspect of the software allows users to drum along to their favorite songs, leveraging a VR environment for an immersive experience. While the latency is commendable with audio options, users may struggle to accurately register faster drumming patterns, particularly at high speeds, due to inherent technological limitations of VR. Overall, it offers a creative platform but may not fully accommodate advanced drumming techniques.
“First of all, you can drum along to your favorite song using this.”
“This software is the drumming portion from the parent music room software, which is designed to be a VR recording software. Like most, you can work with this one without it holding your hand in creating anything.”
“The latency is great with the Windows audio or ASIO audio option, but for everything that's not the kick drum, you won't be registering hits as many times as you know you are. This is a technology limitation of VR in general, especially if you try to hit 32nd notes or go at 'metal' speeds on your drumheads, so you likely won't be able to pull off your favorite faster songs even if you physically can.”
