BASIC STEPS TO PLAY MUSIC
(1) Equip a musical instrument
(2) To enter "music mode", type:
/music [ENTER]
(3) To play an ABC music file, type:
/play filename [ENTER]
SYNCHRONIZED MUSIC AS A GROUP
(1) Decide which person will play which instrument and part.
(2) Each person equips their instrument and enters "music mode".
(3) Each person types the specific filename for their part.
Example of a four-part arrangement:
SongName w/ (Clarinet, Horn, Lute1, Lute2)
-- Clarinet player types:
/play SongNameClar sync [ENTER]
-- Horn player types:
/play SongNameHorn sync [ENTER]
-- Lute players decide which part, then type:
/play SongNameLute1 sync [ENTER]
- OR -
/play SongNameLute2 sync [ENTER]
(4) Once all are ready to play, one person will type:
/playstart [ENTER]
NOTE:
- You must be in the same fellowship or raid to synchronize music.
- Do NOT forget to include the word "sync" when typing your part for group music to be synchronized.
PLAYING "LIVE" MUSIC
According to information found on the LotRO forums & Wiki website, it helps to keep music synchronized using the following Audio Options:
- QUANTIZE PLAYER MUSIC - checked
- LOW LATENCY MODE - unchecked
AUDIO ISSUES WHEN PLAYING OR LISTENING TO PLAYER MUSIC?
With UPDATE 40 (released May 15, 2024) this is no longer a valid suggestion.
In your Audio Options, it may help to switch your Sound Playback to the "Generic Software..." option that best matches your audio setup.
NOTE: "Generic Software..." options are only available if you are running the 32-bit LotRO client. If you are running the 64-bit LotRO client, you will not see any "Generic Software..." options without installing a third-party update; see the following LotRO Forum posts for more information:
