My point that you guys are missing is that this timer is a different start then what any of the meter's I've ever bassraced on is. That is the only point that I am making. You guys agree that it is different than Sam's or other meter's so /story.
You wanna know what I think?
I think you're making excuses as to why you aren't winning.
Think what you want then. I've lost at one bassrace show since I've been in this state. It was on a legit meter, no excuses. I've never lost in the organization that I'm talknig about so you got any other reasons that aren't valid.
What if I were to beat you, would that mean that I am better than you?
Regardless, who cares how long the delay is? You compensate for it and move on, not make a big stink about it and post it on the forum in the hopes that people will agree with you.
If you beat me then I will consider you a pretty good bassracer. It's hard to say who's "better" in bassrace because of the circumstances involved. I don't consider myself a great bassracer but I've beaten some of the best out there. A lot of it, at least for me, is luck.
I made a big deal about it and wanted some support because I was told that I was wrong by the guy that runs the organization that I redlighted in. I was made fun of by them and told that I needed to have my head checked and didn't have a clue what I was doing in bassrace. So you ask why I would do such a thing and this is why. I don't like being told that I'm not good at something when I know I am.
Your right about bassrace being a portion luck. There are quite a few variables in the hobby that can affect your performance. There is so much pressure where I'm at to win cause if I don't the guys here love to try and tear me to shreds because I am confident and talk a big game so to speak. I've seen Adam Trifonof lose and I happen to think that he's probably the most consistant in the world. It can happen point blank, but I'm not going to let my opposition think that. That's one of the elements, the psyche out. If you can psyche out your opponent enough to make him make a mistake it is that much easier for you to win the round.
As for us I don't know who would win. I've beaten bassracers that have finished in the top in the world and I've also been beaten by a first timer. My point is that I'm confident weather I win or lose. I know that being confident carries some steep consequences sometimes and that's the part that I hate, but win or lose I don't talk sh!t to my opponent about sucking or anything like that.

I know we have a laptop that when running 2 displays has like a 2 second lag before displays show.....realy bad part is there is like 1 second delay before the sensors read. The laptop it self gets a delay on the number with 2 sensors.....realy sucks.
quote:Originally posted by AudioXtremes: If you NEED a perfect start then your doing too high a class IMO.
I don't have to have a perfect start and didn't at this past show I was at. I waited on the meter that I've said is in question and when I saw set on the led I then went. I still did a 149.9 even though I broke out into a 150 for a second and then came back down.
Also please tell some of the guys that are running in the 159.9 class that they are in too high of a class. 99% of them need a perfect start in order to do a 159.9, hence why Steve Mick broke out at finals trying to get a perfect start so he could do a 159.9 Ask Hank about his van and I guarantee that he'll tell you he needs a perfect start to get a 159.9 I'm sure these guys can start as late as I can in 149.9 and still do their numbers in 159.9 so what's the problem? There shouldn't be one, the only classes that really don't have to have perfect starts since there is usually tons of headroom are the 129.9 and 139.9 classes. In the 149.9 and 159.9 classes the start is more important in order to be able to do your 9.9 I'm sure most of the guys that run these classes will back me up on this.
But I'll just prove it to whoever need be in the lanes when I continue to run in 149.9 and do 149.9's with no issues.
actually back when i first built the van and everything was running smoothly i had a start of 127 and brought it back up to a 59.9 in the last sec. just getting a perfect start just makes it easier on your equipment when u have to push it like we do so its best to just get a good start.
prime example. Bob.... in 59.9 he starts off at like 100db but brings it up to a 159 but ends up smoking subs because he has to push his equipment too hard to come back from that low of a start. if he started like any other normal human being *no offense bob* he would have 59.9 in the bag at every show because his van is madness... when u watch someone adding a db at a time over 150 every sec that ****s impressive.

i thought this was very common. my TL has the "SET" delay. I start on "SET" and it doesnt red line. By the time the screen says "GO" im already 2 seconds into the song and playing.
but other guys here dont have this on their meter. no delay at all, READY - SET - GO all happen with in half a second.
you guys take this too seiously. it doesnt really matter if there is a delay or no. two guys on the same meter will face the same challange. person with better strategy will win regardless of the delay.

Well said. Fix the problem that you are doing not what the meter is doing. Any good bass racer and competitor will overcome this simple setback.

There is a setting they need to change to fix that problem. They need to call wayne and he will help fix that.

its the software, not the laptop/pc its on, the later versions of software have some wierd bug which will let it run ok sometimes and not on others, it needs sorting, i burp a 144 and do 139.9 but can't catch up if the start is a second or so late due to resego syndrome, it began as all meters were ready - 1 sec - set - 1sec - go, surely it wouldn't take much to sort it from wayne

Truth. There was a difference from Jeremy's setup to the setup at Finals, and I didn't have any problems.

Zach, at some point you have got to let this go. First you said that their meter wouldn't let you start on set when it will and then it was they purposely changed the settings on you which they didn't. Seriously man nobody is out to cheat you. No need to be so paranoid about everything.
