Tutorials

Hi. I'm new to CDLC. I'm trying to add DD to CDLC that was created without it. Can anyone recommend any tutorials on how to do this? Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, with the new updated forums, I might as well share my tutorials here: They're not intented for beginners I think, but more of a showcase of different ways to chart apart from importing from a .GP File This playlist contains all of them: Pyro's Tutorial Playlist You'll see that the first one is 1 video about 1 song, made from chordify. Then there's 2 videos about 1 song made from a text tab. And then there's 3 videos about 1 song made from chordify. If you have question about them, let me know there or send me a message here ^^ I sometimes also stream the charting of songs or help others out. For that you can follow me here: …

Has anyone checked out SPLEETER? I started using it recently for making all my own backing tracks to play with (in Go Play Along). But it would work great for CDLC too! https://research.deezer.com/projects/spleeter.html You can extract out all the tracks, then using audacity, create a backing track with just DRUMS and VOCALS. It was hit or miss until version 1.54, but now its solid and does an amazing job with the tracks. They released a video on how to do it here a while back, but it still works the same:

Step 1: Youka Youka is a free software that creates karaoke songs out of any YouTube video. In this example, I’ll be adding l…

This is my basic workflow for making the song. This is also good approach for quick check if it's worth to do the song (checking out the tab). Disclaimer: This is not the only one approach but it's the best practice for minimizing manual frustrating error-prone work and it allows you to actually go back and fix anything in the sync, tab, sections or phrases easily. (You can use this tutorial even if you later decide to maintain chart completely in EoF.) Note for tabbing: I have found GP/GPA combo to be great for creating tabs from scratch - I figure out the BPM, sync the measures and progressively fill them up with notes (hearing GP tab immediately or slowing down the G…

The third Way to Chart Customs (With Guitar Hero/Rockband/PS/Frets on fire templates) Advantages : Phase Shift Templates : - Your Song Will Be PERFECTLY Beat Synced. - You've got the exact note position you just have to edit every notes or use the position as example. - Lyrics already included & PERFECTLY Synced - Great Quality Multitracks (You Can create Backtracks when removing the guitar track & keeping all other instruments) I Think Lowering The Guitar Volume To 50% instead of Removing It is Probably a Better Choice. - The RB3 section by Bluzer already content Pro Notes for Guitar & Bass !

History You all knew that tabs used beats(BPM anchors -vertical white lines in eof) for sync chart with audio. You know where you can get this BPM values for the song(even EOF can do that, just click BPM - > Estimate BPM -> OK). But when you deal with floatingUn-staticVariable BPM you better bless god that in this song BPM changes won't be more than 4-5 times, cause you know Tool songs and there very creative drummer so we got this kind of issue. How to Solve it? Use this software with presets that I recommend and you'll get 98% accuracy on generating BPM map(aka Beat Map) NOTE: You will need EOF minimum r1271 (now its RC9 r1302 and its ok, DL new version …

Just as the title says, most creators use GP files to make a CDLC, it's also possible from text tabs. But for songs that haven't got any tab available, you can try it out with Chordify. https://chordify.net/ Works best for easy songs (your typical 4 chord song) (pop,hiphop, rap, punk songs) Also modern songs with easy BPM and timings. In this video I show you how to create a Rocksmith 2014 Custom Song (CDLC) with Editor On Fire (EoF) when there aren't any tabs available. To understand anything from this tutorial I already expect you to know the basics of EoF and customs.I should probably add some subtitles or text boxes later on to clarify some parts. Part 1: Start and…

Dynamic Difficulty is rarely well responsive in cDLC on phrase levels. When a phrase is leveled op or down, identical notes in other phrases don't level. This happens because most of us don't define phrases, Phrases are sub-elements of sections, they subdivide a section. A phrase should not cross two sections, it should not start before or end after a section. To avoid problems, usually the whole song is divided in sections (more or less respecting its note structure) and we check "also add as phrase" 1 section = 1 phrase, while a section can have multiple phrases. We leave the task to define more phrases to the DD creator. It is easy to define phrases by using EOF "…

Hello every one just figured I would give a quick rundown for how I use custom rocksmith songs for my rgh xbox. Rgh or jtag xbox is required. first download the rocksmith tool kit. Then you will need a dlc song you have already downloaded. (to do this I looked through the toolkit too see what codes are available, I had purchased a few songs on my retail xbox and sure enough i had a song that was in the toolkit, crazy on you) Copied the song from my retail hdd to a usb stick and then opened using xm360 on the rgh and unlocked the dlc using xm360. At this step I loaded the game up to make sure it worked. Now import the cdlc you would like to use or have just downl…

I was asked to try to explain working with multitracks, so here goes. I don't think I've written a tutorial before, so there's your warning. Images are hidden behind spoilers currently because I think most of them aren't necessary to the general public, I can remove the spoiler tags if this proves to be untrue. Preamble Ramble: This tutorial assumes you know the general process of creating CDLC and focuses mainly on the differences in the process for using multitracks. Reading The Third Way to Chart Customs is strongly recommended, as a decent amount of this may be that information just more poorly phrased. A lot of credit also goes to the user todtod, who taught me mos…
