VIDEOS MY STILL BE PROCESSING SO HD MIGHT NOT BE AVAILABLE!! MC Bass: DT INT Bass: P!nk I'll post these and tomorrow i'll upload the bass playthrough of Unsung, and Date Rape. Enjoy :D

I though the Pink song was easier than the Helmet song. Here's my go around. I loaded the Fishbone song and played it for about 5 seconds before realizing I couldn't even hit half the notes on bass. :) Helmet - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=421035652- 99% (not on score attack, woops) Pink - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=421035663- 97.29%

Date Rape Bass, 96,26% Despite the high score, this doesnt feel like comfortable to play, i'll need some work here. In the Name of God, 74% Long-ass song with a low-ass tuning, and a solo which is freaking fast and uses way to many notes above the 22nd fret which i dont have (but doenst really make a difference)... yeaaah. The song is cool! Love that chord riff where it goes C -D#-D-C#- D#-D-C#, but this would be way too much work. ..Its DT, i didnt really expected anything different, Petrucci is just way to good and i suck too hard for that ;D Good choice @@Nacholede (sorta...) Heretic & Killers Played this one too, and i'll only have to say NOPE NOPE NOPEDY NOPE! Dont like that song, dont want to play it ever. cheers!

Some more improvements. http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/Date%20rape%2089_zpsyimm8uls.jpg http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k228/maztor42/Rocksmith%20championship%202014/Date%20rape%20Rhythm%2094_zpsxpecnc0t.jpg I think I'm close to my limit for this songs. Things are just going to fast for my fingers.

Just took a quick look in here, cause there was no time over the weekend/easter stuff, and noticed the discussion about the long songs, and wanted to give my 2 cents. For me personally, long songs are no problem in itself, although i was a bit skeptical about this weeks DT-Song after a already 10min song of metallica last week. I think there shouldn't be a succession of long songs after another, and, after i just (only) watched @@xDatBoiSOBLE 's video theres alot of crazy Petrucci stuff going on, which is just impossible to learn in only one week. So my suggestion would be no 10min+ songs two weeks in a row and maybe (depends on song) more than one week. Because i can definitely say, even right now, i will fuck up that DT song hard, and theres no point in playing a song if you cant learn it decently. well, thats it for me. I hope i will post some scores later that day! cheers!

Hey! ...The Championship is no place for "gotcha" journalism! :P I guess I should be more open minded. That one wasn't so bad, but Jackass Brigade took me from "on the fence" to: http://www.reactiongifs.com/r/2013/02/nope.gif Still, there are even a few Metallica songs that I have a similar level of dislike for. And I wouldn't want to write off the band entirely over those few...

Hello Everyone, I don't usually post on these forums. Recently I revisited the idea of porting or cloning Rocksmith 2014 on Linux as Ubisoft have declared they won't be porting the game. I started at the GuitarSmith forums http://sourceforge.net/projects/guitarsmithand quickly found a C++ build of Frets on Fire. I have taken this version of the code and quickly implemented changes that allow it to render the notes in a way that's closer to Rocksmith. It's by no means finished yet, I'm still implementing the neck of the guitar and the full fret range. I am willing to share all of my code with anyone who wants it and am happy to put effort into it if there are other interested programmers. The code is currently known to run on Windows/Linux and should run on Mac but it hasn't been tested there. Based on Frets on Fire this engine should be simple to modify to at least use the Rocksmith projects made in Editor on Fire, and of course can currently use the Frets on Fire content. I am hoping to shatter the limitations of Rocksmith and add in (at least) 4 - 8 string guitar support if someone would like to add more guitars/instruments they would be welcome. I would love to add support for the Rocksmith CDLC. Now the cool/hard part: On the GuitarSmith forums someone has posted up the code for a JAVA based audio recognition engine which can process guitar notes and confirm if the correct note was played or not. I'd like help porting this from JAVA to C++ and creating the note samples. Included is a screenshot of my current progress to hopefully inspire people.

I'll try my best on Pink instead. ^_^

@@missis sumner Yes. Now you can notice 0% 0 streak scores - this are scores that are not valid - downgraded on DD, no bars visible, no % and/or streak visible - they count for Die Hard status but not for win or award.

no, cant plax that - but its still fun http://i59.tinypic.com/jkx9xv.jpg

Ye, Ik, but I've never tought that I'd enjoy playing a pop that so much, this one is really cool to play. :o (Not disrespecting pop, but I'm more into rock & metal than in pop.)

@@Lovroman You have to capture the accuracy and streak for you score to be valid. Also. You should try some harder class. You might be a bit to good for beginner. :P

There was a post a few back where the order was changed. Sometimes the songs might be switched or the orders are changed up to Sunday night (8PM EST) after a few people start playing through all the songs. Is #17 in the Championship Rules.

http://i.imgur.com/k5T6XIy.jpg Accuracy went up .48% i guess this will have to do! Too bad my streak went down :( I really enjoyed this song, im a HUGE fan of DT and it was a pleasure rocking out to it....oh yeah, my video of this performance is uploading as we speak so stay tuned :D

I have a huge burn blister on my fretting thumb from an unfortunate Easter party cooking accident. I was transporting a homemade deep dish pizza with insufficient hand protection, and I got caught in the position of dropping a 4 pound scorching hot pizza on the dog, or blistering my thumb. The thumb lost.

I really enjoy playing DT but not really a fan to play on that low tuning! here's my week's MC score! http://i.imgur.com/8qRExer.jpg

Hell yeah! -= HOW TO GET RID OF UNWANTED ORIGINAL SONGS IN THE SONG SELECTION LIST =- works for -ORIGINAL RS2014 Songs -Imported RS1 Songs UPDATE: RS2014Songlistmodifier (tool) to be released in the next days - thx to @@Lovroman !!!!! UPDATE 04may15: all main functions working flawlessly UPDATE 19jun15: Release of The RS Roadie So... i have been after this from day one that i got RS, and there are lots of reasons for this mod. Fact is there are tons of purchaseable DLC and CDLC out… so ... why would i want songs i don´t ever play in my library? Furthermore unfortunately there is no chance to create multiple playlists in game – so keeping the library tidy is mandatory, esp. If you like modes like nonstop play. However after months it is done now – here is the how to remove single or all original songs from the song selection. # If you want to simply get rid of all the original implemented (and unlockable) songs of RS2014 or # If you wanna get rid of individual songs a little engeneering is needed, but fear not ist quite easy and done in a couple of mins… Of course your purchased DLC and CDLC are unaffected and still in game!!!! Lets mf go: you do have 2 options 1) You get a ROADIE [proudly presentin our tool] and let him do the work or 2) you go the manual way Create a working dir like c:\RSMODCopy your cache.psarc (placed in Rocksmith dir see above) file thereDownload the Custom Song Toolkit: http://builds.rscustom.net/master-ca31b7ec14/Windows.zip - latest builds always at http://www.rscustom.net/builds and extract to your C:\RSMODStart the toolkit RocksmithToolkitGUI.exeGo to Packer/Unpacker – press unpack – select cache.psarc and the c:\RSMOD as target.http://i61.tinypic.com/2nimuty.jpg You have a cache_Pc dir now in your working dir – go therehttp://i60.tinypic.com/2462lmr.jpg Download this file and put it in there – otherwise you won´t be able to repack!!!Download 7zip archiver http://www.7-zip.org/a/7z938-x64.msi or 32bit from http://www.7-zip.org/download.html. Install andstart 7-Zip File Manager - inside go to your workingdir\cache_Pc\;and hit enter on cache7.7zhttp://i62.tinypic.com/29zbuad.jpg Go to \manifests\songs – here we areHit F4 on the songs.hsan file to open editor (if not automatically select notepad from list) – thats the magic file.REMOVE ANY SONG YOU WANT :ph34r: - the pic below pretty much says it all – use the search (Ctrl-F) to find the first arrangement remove the entire highlited block – CAVE: a song consists of 4 or 5 arrangements „lead“, „rhythm“, „bass“, „vocals“ ev. "combo" – each has to be removed so use search to do it properly.http://i57.tinypic.com/2mpctxu.jpg Watch out – the file reading seems to be very very strict – if you mess up a little the game won´t load or all songs will be hidden.If you are after #removing all songs - your final file should look like that:http://i59.tinypic.com/2qvb4gl.jpg thats all - you can just copy paste that !!!!!!: { "Entries" : "InsertRoot" : "Static.Songs.Headers" } When you are done - save, exit the editor and confirm editing of archive.Back to the Toolkit - Pack - select the cache_Pc dir as sourceenter "cache" in working dir as output.If you get an error - you didnt place the file in the dir Congrats you have your new modified cache.psarc in your working dir – copy to your Rocksmith dir after renaming your original there.Start the game and testPress thx ;)Admin note: Do not share the cache.psarc on the forum. - FOR THE RS1 DISK SONGS: Same procedure files: rs1compatibilitydisc_p.psarc rs1compatibilitydisc_p_Pc\manifests\songs_rs1disc\songs_rs1disc.hsan cheers! I think the most reasonable thing would be to add this modding functionality to the song manager about to be released – i´m gonna talk to the devs if thats possible, else it wouldnt be neurosurgery to build a little tool reading out the songs.hsan file and make the list confortably editable. If anyone is a quick coder shoot - i´d be more than happy if we had that asap. done. Upcoming?: Guide for removing single Songs from the imported RS1 Disc done. Thx to everyone joining in on the journey with tips, tests and ideas!!! Report back about your success, or if you need any help! Rock on! and make sure to donate and also buy some original dlc!

Fishbone Adv Bass 90% Accuracy, Longest streak =http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=421471673 too bad that I can't get through the first 20 seconds of score attack without getting the dreaded strike out :lol:

broke 90% and made it through SA hard http://i.imgur.com/3xF90hb.jpg

Oh, god: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49Qq-EFnmrKV2V4eEhGMGl4cWc/view?usp=sharing Can I still pass this week, even if I've tried it? I don't see how I'm going to get a qualifying score, because I just don't like the song, sorry. :(

Issue solved, for some reason everything has become READ-ONLY on my PC. Checking for viruses right now.

me vs pink, thats better http://i62.tinypic.com/a9lljo.jpg

I hope that Blazi will fix Heretics. That RR bug was something that I saw 1st time, and was unaware that sth like that can happen. Heretics are 3.5 minute long, so I had good intentions :)

Lmfao, I've spent about 15 hours trying to get this sorted. Kudos to you guys and gals that get us good versions to play. Really can't believe how much effort goes into it. Anyhoo... I've got the lead side of things sorted in eof, at least mostly, all timing is superbly accurate (i believe) still need to get vibratos and some slides in. Mainly happy with it. However (and its a biggie) I've put the bass line on and it was atrociously out of time, well I've managed to feck it up good :) Is there anyway to delete the bass arrangement without messing the lead side up? I've put about 3 hrs into lead side and not saved because of silly questions and slide changing it wants to do. I'll be leaving the computer on waiting for a reply lmao :D

Pick one http://customsforge.com/topic/18100-cdlc-not-working/ http://customsforge.com/topic/16983-custom-song-freezing/ http://customsforge.com/topic/17338-custom-dlc-not-working/ http://customsforge.com/topic/17584-cdlc-not-working/ http://customsforge.com/topic/18376-rocksmith-downloaded-songs-wont-work/ There are about a million more too. The answer you seek is in there somewhere...

I feel like they're close, overall all of the people who have played both on the leaderboard had done worse on Pink. Even after an hour practicing on both Pink and Helmet my scores on Pink are worse. Pink is slower but has more fret hand movement across all 4 strings especially near the end. Helmet is faster, but is only on 2 strings, and mostly just on the E (well Drop D) string. Yeah, I loaded the Fishbone and nope, not yet! ;) Nice scores!

Did you follow the tutorial in the Help section? http://customsforge.com/topic/901-how-to-use-custom-dlcs-in-rs2014/

IT'S ALIVE! My laptop is ALIVE! I've only spent half an hour on this, so it's only a start. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=420990804 86% accuracy and a longest streak or 71 There are two little bits that levelled down, but I'll fix that tomorrow. Oh, and here is the link to the thread that I started for the bass I am building: http://www.talkbass.com/threads/100-bass-challenge-2groggys-half-moon.1144230/

Hey peeps, Lovro's joining the club(championship, w/e)! :ph34r: I think I'll start with beginner rythm. -> http://i.imgur.com/VVht0nO.jpg(sorry, I didn't manage to take a better screenshot, this one ain't much better either - http://prntscr.com/6qf015 :() And maybe with advanced bass: http://i.imgur.com/uAzb9kb.jpg(I think that it's not that bad for the first try, is it? :)) (Can I join different classes at once?)

Tuning is not a problem, it's not happening all the time that we have low tunings in the same class, so I wouldn't demonize it. It's not fun when you can't play a song because of tuning, but that's something we have to live with. I'm trying to not select low tunings back-to-back. It's definitely better if you select E or drop D, also for chances to song be selected, but I think you should be able to select whatever song you want*. *At least not below C (guitar) and B (bass) for sake of my guitar :P

1st pink - quite hard 4 me http://i57.tinypic.com/2vwtmhh.jpg

I have a strange issue with a new custom tone i've created to simulate a 12 string acoustic guitar. I've imported the tones from the *_prflsb profile file into a new CDLC and assigned this new tone to the lead guitar part. After trying the psarc in the game the tone sounds completly different it was much more distorted. I double checked if I selected the correct tone and compared my custom tone and the tone from the psarc in the RS tone designer. I can not see any difference. But still the tone from the psarc sounds completely different then the tone saved in the profile. Does anyone have any clue what the problem might be?

I'm not sure if it makes a difference what drop down name you call it... Are you sure you do not have 2 tones with the same name saved in your game (sometimes when making a tone it can be confusing coming up with new names all the time until you find one you like). There is also a finite amount of spaces (slots) available, maybe you hit your max and what is being imported to the toolkit is an older version of your tone. Delete some unused tones to make room for new ones. When you play the song, you have your desired tones in 1, 2, 3, 4? When you engage the tone while playing along to the song it sounds ok? There is also a volume difference, maybe if the tone in you .psarc is far too loud it just sounds like distortion? Just some ideas man, good luck :)
