DSP Emulator Engine | HLE | DSP LLE should be used for a game like this were sound and music is important but it lags quite a lot even on high-end PCs, mostly on stages where there is huge crowds and a lot of things going on. Even though the sound crackles for just a little bit, HLE is recommended in this case. |

Also works great with real guitar, have done a couple of songs in career mode just fine | Duke Nukem |
