Seems more hassle than coughing up the money since you need a low end sound card and an audrino. Good luck with it

I have about 1500 and it loads ok. I do have to wait a couple minutes for the "Enumerating Files" to finish and get all the songs in the list to be available. One of these days I will use the set feature in Customs Forge Song Manager to disable some songs I don't like or just can't do.

Its broken for sure. You can still download, just click on the green + sign on the left side. The bad part is you can't just open the normal window and click on the video link to see if you really wanted it or not. Seems anything after 3/16/2017 is like that.

Nothing pops up for me either. You see a little flash like something tried to come up.

Another person in the thread mentioned it worked once they flushed the DNS. I tried that and now it works fine for me again too. At command prompt type ipconfig /flushdns, then hit enter Start up IE again and then you should be fine

I was able to get into ignition and download. I used Safari on an ipad and it worked normally. Win 10 with Chrome and MS Edge fail to list any entries. Wonder if Firefox, Opera or other alternative browsers work.

I have been playing Rocksmith for about 3 years, about 3-5 days a week. I am not great at it, nor do I think I am pathetic. If your hoping to cut a single and be on VEMO and girls throwing bras at you, then your probably not going to make it by Rocksmith alone. But if you just want to learn to play, be decent enough to impress non-playing friends, family, GIRLS, then keep on trucking. I have my Master's degree done and I know that can be trying. Don't sell your stuff. Just sit it aside for awhile and hit the books and when your stuck trying to write your thesis, then playing metal, deathcore or whatever, would probably be therapeutic. Trust me. I have to kids and playing something like Metallica's Sandman after getting them to bed at last can be quite the calming thing to do.

The infamous patch is downloading right now. Dreading what is going to happen. It seems the cable issue is because of new features they added so you can use Rocksmith without the cable and just use a USB microphone so you can use acoustic guitars for example. Patch Notes - Rocksmith 2014 Edition Remastered - Microphone Mode More! Community Announcements - [ubi] JasonParadise http://blog.ubi.com/app/uploads/2016/12/firstencounteracoustic1.jpg?x49516 What was added/changed in the December 13 patch? We added a few new features (including one big one!) and improved a few others based on user feedback. The latest patch includes: Microphone Mode If you don’t have an electric guitar or simply want to use an acoustic to play Rocksmith, now you can! Use a USB microphone as your input device, point it at your acoustic guitar or bass, and enjoy strumming and picking in Rocksmith without a Real Tone Cable. (We still recommend using the Real Tone Cable for best results and the most direct/cleanest signal input for any guitars with pickups.) Disconnected Mode Want to just play along without plugging in? You got it. You no longer have to have a Real Tone Cable plugged in to play along with Rocksmith – note detection is deactivated, and you can just read the notes on the screen for more casual practice sessions. http://blog.ubi.com/app/uploads/2016/12/inputselection1.jpg?x49516 Endless Replay Mode in Guitarcade Guitarcade fans asked for less downtime between games -- request granted! Instead of kicking you back to the menu after each round, you can now immediately restart your next run. We’ve also tweaked a few other key elements, thanks to the feedback we’ve received from players: You can now edit your Song Lists from the Learn a Song menu as well as the Nonstop Play menu Rocksmith can now hear your guitar better during Calibration Added ability to choose Other Arrangements in Score Attack Added the ability to replay the “Welcome to Rocksmith” introductory lessonDoes Microphone Mode work the same as if I were using a Real Tone Cable? Yes – all your songs are available, dynamic difficulty adjusts to your skill level, Emulated Bass mode is available to you – it’s the Rocksmith experience you know and hopefully love. The only audible difference: Your guitar signal will not be processed through Rocksmith 2014’s Authentic Tones when you’re in Microphone Mode. You won’t hear stompbox effects, but you will be scored normally when playing songs. Will any acoustic guitar work with Microphone Mode? Any normal six-string should – we tested this mode with a variety of shapes, sizes, and styles of acoustic guitars. Specialty acoustics like 12-strings or baritone instruments still aren’t recommended, but a standard six-string acoustic should be fine. http://blog.ubi.com/app/uploads/2016/12/acousticmode1_edit.jpg?x49516 What kind of microphone do I need? Any dedicated USB microphone that your machine recognizes should work fine. (We do not recommend using a microphone that is part of another device, like a webcam or chat headset.) Not all USB microphones are supported by all gaming platforms. If in doubt, please contact the microphone’s manufacturer. Any tips for best results with Microphone Mode? You bet: Be sure you have a working, dedicated USB microphone plugged into your computer or console. Sounds simple, but it’s worth checking. Recalibrate any time your set up or environmental conditions change. Notes above the 15th fret may not be accessible on some acoustic guitars. Minimize background noise as much as you can. If the background noise is too loud, Rocksmith won’t be able to distinguish your guitar from everything else. Different microphones have different ranges of sensitivity, so you’ll need to make sure you’re close enough for it to hear you. If you’re having trouble with note detection, trying adjusting the angle and distance of the microphone itself. Be sure the microphone is pointing the right direction. Some microphones are designed to pick up sound from any direction while others can only pick up sound from one particular direction.

I had the same thing happen. I have Norton Anti-Virus. I think Norton had an update recently where you had to reboot the PC. I bet it did a scan afterward and moved it to its quarantine directory. I copied it to the folder and watched Norton snag it when I went to play a song. Definitely need to add the file to the exemption list.

Thanks for the list of symphonic metal. Helped me find some good stuff I would have not have picked otherwise for the lack of knowing anything about the band and what they play.

I noticed that, I had to replace one about 6 months ago and it was about $30 and now seeing them for $50-60

No so much a band or song, but playing Rockband a few times. I liked doing that and thought there is probably some software out there to learn how to play a real guitar. Then the idea faded again until we had our son's B-day at Chuckie Cheese and they had Rockband, and then decided to just DO IT. So I here I am about 2 years later and still loving Rocksmith and playing about every day. Wish they had this about 20 years ago instead of starting in my 40's.
