Thank you, CR I take your advice about it sometimes being messier fixing up a CDLC than starting from scratch. Sounds like words of experience there. But interesting to know its possible. I think I want to play around with some files, learn the process better and then I'll start trying to make my own from the start. Appreciate your response.

Hi, I notice a lot of songs that are bass only. I sometimes wonder if I could take that psarc file and edit it, just adding a lead and rhythm line to the bass? If someone has gone to the trouble of setting up the file with tempo etc etc, adding other lines would be easier than starting from scratch (especially as I am not experienced with EOF). I would of course ask the author first if they were ok with me doing so, and not simply adjust files without author permission. Is this easy enough? Dave

Thank you soooo much Cozy1 for your clear instructions. I was kind of expecting a bit of a run-down for liking RS1 but I think I am not the only one. I think RS1 and RS2014 each have their pros and cons, and are very different beasts. I gotta go work but will give your instructions a go and see how I go. Will comment when I've tried it. Again, much appreciated thanks! Dave

Hi, I was wondering what the easiest (even if not the quickest) way to produce CDLC for RS1? Yeah yeah I know, why would I? I use RS2014 typically, but the other day, for some reason, I loaded up RS1 and for all its flaws, it was just ... well .....more fun. The whole playing gigs n stuff and the earning points were just way more incentive for a learning player than RS2014 is. It seems that RS2014 became more professional but in the transition, forgot that the reason RS1 was so great for newbies is because it offered the fun of Rock Band etc but with a real guitar. The only issue with RS1 is the limited song choices, and I wondered if I could learn how to export current CDLC to the earlier format, or if it is possible to use GP7 to create a CDLC and export it to the old format. Any advice would be appreciated. Dave

Actually I wish someone would create a tutorial showing how to convert PSARC files to DAT. As much as i enjoy RS2014, I really miss the playing performances in RS2012, and often go back and play in that. I understand that by using the Custom Toolkit, and EoF and Wwise, you can do a conversion so I can play CDLC in the old RS, but I am not that technically minded and would love someone with more skills in these things to give me some pointers... Not sure if I am alone in this wish, but I would jump for joy to see such a tutorial.... Tks

Aah so it is the DAT files.... I get the impression it doesnt export tones when it generates but I'll try a few songs in RS1 and post back how it goes.

Thanks for reply.... I opened up the toolkit and see what you mean although I thought the RS radio button was so you could import the old CDLCs and repackage them for RS2014 not the other way around. I have only ever used CDLC in RS2014 under the psarc format. Looking inside RS1 I dont see the same formats; were they packaged differently?

Hi all, Apologies if this has been asked before but is it possible for me to take CDLCs - which presumably are now all made for RS2014 - and repackage them for RS1? I know you are probably thinking WHY? but the fact is, even though the UI is cleaner and all for the new RS, I still kinda prefer the original version. I really used to enjoy the venue events, and just found that as a learning guitarist, the path of progression was much more evident than in RS2014. Unlocking a new venue to play a 'gig' in was rewarding, unlike the rewards in RS2014 which are just meh. I do use both and can see why advanced guitarists prefer RS2014 but for me, RS1 seemed just more fun and rewarding and I would like to play the CDLC in that version instead. Any ideas?

Aaah, I see those flickering levels too and often wondered what that was about. I naturally assumed my graphics driver was playing up or something but wondered why only to one aspect of the screen. Thanks for clearing that up...

Thanks! Will check them out for sure.....

Thanks all for your advice. Pretty much sets my path then. Looks like I'm saving for a new PC! :D

Hi all, My missus is suggesting that instead of upgrading to a new PC, I should just get an XboxOne or PS4 given how I mostly play games, and in particular, use RS2014. Part of my hesitation to do so is because I note that most CDLCs are for PC. I have only lightly delved into the CDLC process but have yet to finish creating a CDLC so am still not clear on all sections of the process. My question: how hard (or even is it possible) to take a CDLC for the PC, open it in EOF and re-export to XBoxOne or PS4? Or do I assume creators do not always do it because it is a pain in the proverbial? Any advice from you EOF geniuses would be appreciated. Cheers David

Thanks. I did see that one, and it seemed pretty positive, but that is the only review I can actually find after a Google search. I vaguely recalled someone on one of the forums mentioning having an Artist, hence the post, but maybe they were on the Rocksmith forums so will try there too...

Hi, This one particularly aimed at Aussies on here.... Anyone tried an Artist guitar? They seem to offer an LP style electric with a set neck at a pretty good deal for $200AUS. http://www.artistguitars.com.au/buy/artist-lp60-electric-guitar-plus-accessories/70009 They claim their business practices are responsible for the cheap prices yet good quality. If anyone has any experience of the LP models, I'd be interested to hear your advice to help me decide whether I should pick one up or save a bit more for an Epi LP100. Cheers David

What I find bemusing is the EITHER/OR argument on display here. I don't disagree with you at all; eventually if you want to play songs the way they are meant to be played, you have to outgrow DD. But for a beginner, repeatedly plugging away at Riff Repeater can eventually get demotivating and stop RS being fun. I personally have taken advantage of DD AND RR to improve. I push DD further until it the song seems beyond my capability, then head into RR to work on those riffs I found too complex at the level I am at. Eventually, I start to nail it, and I again have fun playing the song, until the DD moves up again and I return to RR. This way, I am improving but having the pleasure of playing a song at the same time. I don't see why there is an argument for one way over the other, unless you are an expert player already. For those of us who aren't, the two tools working together make a great team.... :)
