BanG Dream! Our Notes: Rhythm & Display Settings Guide

To improve hit accuracy and maintain Full Combos in BanG Dream! Our Notes, calibrate your note speed and visual offset in the settings menu before attempting high-difficulty tracks. Adjusting these timing options ensures audio taps align with the target line, while dialing back 3D visual effects prevents frame drops during dense beat maps.

Tuning Note Speed and Audio Calibration

Hitting consistent Perfect ratings requires matching the visual note flow to your personal reaction time.

• Note Speed: Setting your speed too low stacks incoming taps and holds close together, creating visual clutter that obscures dense patterns. Setting speed too high causes notes to scroll faster than your eyes can comfortably track. Increase your note speed in small increments until individual notes are spaced clearly across the lane.
• Timing Offset: If your taps consistently result in "Great" or "Good" ratings despite feeling on-beat, your display timing is out of sync with the music. Use the built-in offset calibration tool on a familiar song with a distinct beat. Shift the offset by small values until the tap line visual matches the exact timing of the audio track.

Optimizing Graphics for 3D Live Performance

While 3D live performances offer high-fidelity visuals, heavy background graphics can cause frame stutter that ruins timing-based play.

If you experience frame rate drops or stuttering during intense instrumental sections, lower the 3D performance settings. Prioritizing performance stability over visual intensity ensures the rhythm engine runs smoothly without technical hitches breaking your combo.
