2 weeks ago But this is a real shame. If there was simply a section in metadata called, millisecond audio offset
But there is? That's what the offset toolbox is for.
You know, this thing:
If you mean global offsets for all songs then Input Offsets should do the job just right (since they affect the audio offsets in the calculation)
(also I feel like adding more offsets would just break the game in some way shape or form idk most of the major gameplay related bugs recently stemmed from offsets/resyncVocals function somehow)

What is your suggestion, and why should it be implemented?
Currently, if a song has deadspace at the start of the track before anything can be heard, the engine automatically skips ahead of it. You can view this easily by going to say... DadBattle Erect, pressing 7 and setting your playback rate very low. Press play and then pause shortly after and you'll notice the play head jumping. This is the deadspace getting skipped. BUT, this deadspace isn't removed from the actual charting grid itself, meaning that if you attempt playing DadBattle Erect with that same low playback rate, you will immediately notice that the notes on the chart, setup as if this deadspace didn't exist, actually are hit slightly before the notes are played. It can be hard to hear at full speed, but once I hear it in a song, I can never unhear it. One solution is to move your notes down to wherever the playhead jumps to, and that works!- but what you can't fix is the camera bop events being permanently off-time, a problem made much more obvious when the notes don't line up with them, so it's usually best to just leave the small gap.
But this is a real shame. If there was simply a section in metadata called, millisecond audio offset or whatnot (Maybe it could even have it's own window I don't know), players could offset the audio so that it's beat line up perfectly with the charting grids as intended. You could even have an automatic option that sets the offset right to the edge of where the game detects deadspace. Supporting this, I'm also suggesting a "Show Inst Waveform" toggle in view, so if that deadspace ending comes first in the inst it'll be easier for the player to find that starting point (Plus a waveform of the Inst would just be a nice thing to have in general I think).
