Note that there was a bug causing a crash on initial song index creation with release v0.1.0. A new version is now up - the link in the post above goes to the latest version.

Can't get those 16 on e string and many of the following notes to be recognized, does anyone have any tips to improve it? Or maybe know if it doesn't work for them as well? I tried all my knobs and pickup switches and increase the gain but nothing seems to help, my tuner says intonation is perfect That Ab and the following legato notes on the B string are really stubborn and don't seem to want to be recognized

Thanks for adding new championship and adinng my requested song. I played these songs with @aNDESmASAMUNE. That was so fun! My score is bad haha. I practiced these songs again. And I requested some songs for begginer. I think they are good for practice. This song is hard for my little finger. The pulling off notes.

thanks for showing me this song, really fun!

Mainly from testing Lead I'm not sure if this deserves a difficulty 3. I thought 2.5, but I gave a 3 because of the rather fast licks with pull-offs. The rest is the vocal line and is quite easy. Here the chat is similar for all paths. It doesn't seem overly difficult, but there may be problems with accuracy due to a lot of pull-offs. I played this again today after a few months and I improved a bit, but it's a difficult chart to get a high score for me. Other than that, this is a fun song! A really fun to play Slash song, glad I got to see him and the rest of the band live recently!

very detailed tutorial, awesome work!

First lead score for this week! I really had fun playing this one!

CHAMPIONSHIP NIGHT!!! YEEAHH!!! Let's try again the bass paths I played with @ loudly --- Nice to play I polish song!!! I am not competing in this class, so whenever I can I practice saying the notes in my mind while playing... of course it brings the score down! --- This song is fun to play, but I need to practice more to achieve a clean execution! I regret playing this song with my fingers.... it hurts! I would say this is totally a song for picking... --- This is also a really fun song to play! --- I was doing MC bass but got a bit tired... see ya tomorrow if possible!

Thanks mate.

You can check the first tab in the scores Google sheet. It says you're Bass beginner, if you get a 99.5%+ on bass on a difficulty 3 song you can rank up to the next class There is also Rodman rankings leaderboard where you can earn points on harder songs too even if you're in a lower class for now ========== ~starts to look better but still sloppy

how do I know what class I am in?

First results: Room for improvement. This feels very fast and the little slides and pull offs aren't being recognized (or I can't play them well ). Tried it a couple of times after riff repeat and got worst results... This one feels harder (more variations) but I think I can improve it.

Professional computer tech here: I've been using Rocksmith on Windows 11 for years with absolutely no issues. It's like a bunch of folks got it in their head that Windows 11 doesn't work, when it works just fine, in fact, it works quite well. Your O/S does not introduce any lag and doesn't "block" anything. That is just silly.

Recording/Streaming Rocksmith 2014 with OBS ================================================================================================= Download Links First method (VoiceMeeter) VoiceMeeter => https://vb-audio.com/Voicemeeter/banana.htm OBS => https://obsproject.com/download Second method (REAPER) REAPER => https://www.reaper.fm/download.php RS_ASIO => https://github.com/mdias/rs_asio RSMods => https://github.com/Lovrom8/RSMods OBS ASIO => https://github.com/Andersama/obs-asio VB-Audio Hi-Fi Cable => https://vb-audio.com/Cable/index.htm#DownloadASIOBridge (Optional VSTs to improve your playing experience, for use with REAPER) Kilohearts Pitch Shifter => https://kilohearts.com/products/pitch_shifter Submission Audio LockOn Tuner => https://www.submissionaudio.com/products/lockon There are two methods for getting Rocksmith audio to Discord. VoiceMeeter and REAPER. The first method, VoiceMeeter is a lot simpler, has less set up, and should have less issues with audio distortion. ======================================================================================================== First Method: VoiceMeeter The first method uses VoiceMeeter. This method is easier and less complicated than the second method. It uses less software and therefore has less things that can go wrong. If you want to use a combination of the two, that is also possible. You can use REAPER for your instrument input into Rocksmith and VoiceMeeter for the output. I will cover both for the second method. ======================================================================================================== VoiceMeeter Setup Start with opening VoiceMeeter Banana. The first thing you need to do is set your HARDWARE OUT. This will be your headphones or speakers. Select them by clicking the A1 button in the top right. Pick whichever device you are using, for me this will be my Focusrite. If you are using an audio interface, you should use the ASIO option if available. The next thing to do is set up Rocksmith to output to VoiceMeeter. You can do this one of two ways. By setting VoiceMeeter as Windows default audio output device. Or by setting VoiceMeeter as output in RS_ASIO. (You will need to do this if you're using an interface, OR if you're using REAPER as the input for Rocksmith) When setting up VoiceMeeter as the output, you will need to choose VoiceMeeter Input. The next thing to set up in VoiceMeeter is making sure your Rocksmith audio is being routed to both its own virtual output and to your headphones. The A1 and B1 should be selected under the "virtual inputs". That will be this section: The left is the one you chose when setting up the output. You could also use AUX if you wanted. A1 sends the audio to your HARDWARE OUT device you selected earlier (your headphones). B1 sends the audio to a virtual output device. This is what you will use to send audio to Discord. (And OBS if you want) You should also save your settings, load settings on startup, and have VoiceMeeter start when you start your PC. These options are found in the Menu. If you are using an audio interface that can't split it's inputs (Focusrites come to mind) for use with Discord. You can use VoiceMeeter to split the inputs. To do this, click Menu and select System settings / Options. Look for where it says OUT A1 Main Device. Under that it will have PATCH ASIO Inputs to Strips. To split the inputs, simply set IN 1 to 1/1 and In 2 to 2/2. (You only really need to do this for whichever input is your Mic, whether that being 1 or 2) While you're in the settings, also make sure that the sample rate is set to 48000 Hz (Everything should be set to 48000 Hz for that matter). A mismatch of sample rates will cause audio issues that will be very apparent. The option will be located at the bottom. Then, back in the main VoiceMeeter window you will have the inputs set to HARDWARE INPUT 1 and HARDWARE INPUT 2. You can mute the instrument input with the "Mute" button at the bottom of the input. To route the Mic input from VoiceMeeter into Discord (and OBS if you'd like), deselect B1 and select B2. If you would like to monitor the Mic in your ears as well, keep A1 selected. Otherwise deselect A1 as well. ======================================================================================================== OBS Setup The setup for OBS with VoiceMeeter is only if you want to record or stream to another service that isn't Discord. Add an audio input source and select VoiceMeeter Output (VB-Audio VoiceMeeter VAIO). To capture Rocksmith video, add a Window Capture source and select Rocksmith. (You will need the game open for it to show up when adding it) ======================================================================================================== Discord When streaming to Discord, use OBS Virtual Camera under Capture Devices. (You will have to turn it on in OBS) Use VoiceMeeeter Out B1 (VB-Audio VoiceMeeter VAIO) as the audio device. If you also used VoiceMeeter to split your mic and instrument, go to Discord Settings > Voice & Video and then under Input Device, select VoiceMeeter Aux Out B2 (VB-Audio VoiceMeeter AUX VAIO). ================================================================================================= Second Method: REAPER The second method uses REAPER. This method is more complicated than the first method. It uses more software and therefore has more things that can go wrong. Using REAPER will let you use pitch shift VSTs, record audio inside REAPER, and use audio interfaces that do not have 32bit drivers that RS_ASIO requires to work properly. If you want to use a combination of the two methods, that is also possible. You can use REAPER for your instrument input into Rocksmith and VoiceMeeter for the output. I will cover both for this second method. ======================================================================================================== Installation When installing REAPER, you will need to also install the ReaRoute ASIO driver. You can find this under optional functionality when choosing components. ` To install RS_ASIO, drag the 3 files from the zip archive into the base Rocksmith folder. ======================================================================================================== REAPER Setup Open REAPER and select your audio device by clicking the text in the top-right corner. Use ASIO for an audio interface and Wasapi for the Real Tone Cable. The next thing to do is setup the input and track(s) for you instrument. This will be for using REAPER as both input and output, and also for using REAPER as input and VoiceMeeter as output. Add a new track by right clicking, or by pressing Ctrl + T. Click the red record arm button on the left of the track. Set the input to your guitar. Real Tone cable users can skip this as you’ll only have Input 1. Click the ROUTE button for the master track. Mute Output 1 / Output 2. Add a new hardware out and select ReaRoute 3 / ReaRoute 4. The next part is only if you want to use REAPER as the output from Rocksmith (and routing that to OBS) Add a second track and click the ROUTE button for the second track. You will find it at the bottom of the REAPER window, on the right side of the fader for that track. Uncheck master send channels. Add a new hardware output and select Output 1 / Output 2. (This lets YOU hear Rocksmith audio) Add a new hardware out and select ReaRoute 5 / ReaRoute 6. (This is where the audio gets routed for OBS to hear it) You can add a tuner VST to your master track by clicking the FX button, located under the ROUTE button. You can add a tuner VST to your master track by clicking the FX button, located under the ROUTE button. (It is the green one in my image, it won't be green unless it has an FX added to it) If you want to use REAPER as a pitch shifter, you can also add a pitch shift VST to your instrument track(s) by clicking the same FX button, but on the input track(s) you make for you instrument. They will be under the "pitch shift" category when you click add. For easy tuning switches using the pitch shifter, I recommend creating multiple tracks with different values of pitch shifts. Example: When switching, Rocksmith will use the track that is armed. When using REAPER for Rocksmith; REAPER must be open before opening Rocksmith. You also need to have tracks armed before opening Rocksmith. If you are using REAPER for both input and output; that means you need both an input and output track armed. ======================================================================================================== RSMods (RS_ASIO) Start Rocksmith after installing RS_ASIO to initialize ASIO devices. Once the game is open and you get the error box, you can close the game. Open RSMods and navigate to the RS_ASIO Settings tab. Select ReaRoute ASIO for Input 1. Set the Channel to 3. Select ReaRoute ASIO as the Output. (You can also select VoiceMeeter Virtual ASIO as the output to use VoiceMeeter instead of REAPER for output, as mentioned previously) Go to the Rocksmith Settings tab. Check Real Tone Cable Only. Uncheck Enable Microphone. Exclusive Mode must be enabled for RS_ASIO. ======================================================================================================== OBS Open OBS. Open Settings, click Audio, and scroll to the Advanced section. Change Monitoring Device to Hi-Fi Cable Input (VB-Audio Hi-Fi Cable) Add a new source to your scene. Select asioInput (may be called something similar). Select ReaRoute ASIO (x64) for the Device and close the box. Configure the source to add the channels. Set Channel 1 to ReaRoute ASIO 4 ReaRoute REAPER=>CLIENT 5. Set Channel 2 to ReaRoute ASIO 5 ReaRoute REAPER=>CLIENT 6. In the Audio Mixer, click the 3 dots under an audio source. Select Advanced Audio Properties. Change the ASIO audio source from ReaRoute to Monitor and Output. ======================================================================================================== Discord When streaming to Discord; use OBS Virtual Camera under Capture Devices. Use Hi-Fi Cable Output (VB-Audio Hi-Fi Cable) as Audio Device. ======================================================================================================== Troubleshooting If you get a SOUND INITIALIZATION ERROR, that means your output isn't being recognized. This can happen if: Audio Exclusivity is not enabled Sample rate is not set to 48000 Hz REAPER is not open with an active output track armed before opening Rocksmith If you can't hear your instrument (but don't get the audio output error), it is most likely caused by: Wrong channel set in the Input section of RS_ASIO REAPER is not open with an active input track armed before opening Rocksmith The track for your instrument isn't going to the master track and/or the master track isn't outputting to ReaRoute The track for your instrument isn't using the input your using If your audio is slow, distorted, popping, crackling, robotic, or similar; the most likely cause is hardware not being able to keep up. You can most likely fix it by adjusting your buffer size for your interface. There are 3 places where you can adjust this (for interfaces, the Real Tone Cable will only have 2 options). These are: Buffer size set to "Custom" in RS_ASIO Request block size in the REAPER audio settings In your interface's driver settings You can also try changing the Win32UltraLowLatency setting. If it's on, try having it off. If it's off, try having it on. If adjusting buffer size or Win32UltraLowLatnecy doesn't fix the problem, or makes it worse; you will have to narrow down what is causing the issue as it's probably your hardware not being able to process the audio cleanly. Most of the time if this is an issue it will only start happening when opening OBS. If you are getting audio in only one ear, that is most likely caused by: Having only one channel set on the output (Rocksmith audio track) instead of two. I.E. ReaRoute 1 (mono) instead of ReaRoute 1 / ReaRoute 2 (stereo). Having only output 1 or output 2 set instead of Output 1 and Output 2

Score attack gives a more precise score since it does decimals. So i'd suggest it for the song thats in your class but its not necessary. Good 2 see you!

Bass Path, second time trying this championship out, not sure if I am supposed to do score attack or nah?

I use the same cheapo 4-string bass on tunings ranging from E to C std. With the same strings. Granted, when I'm in C I need to remember to use less force with the right hand, but usually I can play no problem. Depending on you situation there might be 2 main reasons for the problem: A. Fret buzz - a looser string moves a bit wider while vibrating. If it starts to hit the frets 'too much' it becomes a problem. You might want to raise the action a bit then. Neck relief might also be a factor in this. B. Bad intonation - ideally on a well tuned instrument the note on the 12th fret should be EXACTLY the same as an empty string, just an octave higher. It might be off just enough that RS registers it correctly when in standard tuning, but misses it when dropped. There's a ton of videos on how to fix your intonation on youtube. C. A mix of the above. A properly setup bass shouldn't have a problem with drop D. Unless it's a weird electronics issue, but that's unlikely imo. A lot of players here use some kind of pitch shifter pedal instead of retuning. Pitch shifting the song with the song manager is also allowed. More of a bandaid than a solution for your problem, but still might be useful.

I was experiencing these problems with my m-track solo, looked at various threads on reddit and one here, and all the youtube videos I could find before this video solving my problems. Essentially, if your audio interface doesn't work, use voicemeeter banana or reeper. Hope this helps, I spent all day getting Rocksmith to work so I figured maybe I'll save the next guy some time XD

oh oh oh slash + myles, very nice pick congrats to @ RaZrShReD for his score, I did 75% on the sightreading and this after a bit of practice. It's not impossible, but it's very tight and full of details. Solo is fast. I did bad also on the grateful - rhythm, but I didn't like the song a lot. I will give other tries anyway

No, there will be another young generation singer. I admit that I don't follow the national Eurovision qualifying rounds, so I don't really know who's taking part and what determines the selection. Anyway, Sanah is one of the most popular (if not the most popular) Polish singers of recent years, I know her mainly from the radio, but I know that she can attract tens of thousands of people to a concert, mainly young fans

String size is one thing, the other is the length of the bass in general - some work better with low tunings/some don't But usually you should be able to do drop d easily with "normal" ones, everything below I would increase the size atleast 1 per half or full step

First bass score for this week! I really enjoyed playing this song! I'm not sure about the 7* rating I would say maybe a 6 or it could be that I'm having a good playing day!

great song this week, thanks! lots of fun with this one - agree with rating this was a fun tune, but I need to work on it. super fun bass line. Seems harder for me then the Slash song for some reason:
