Not supported as far as I can find.

Hi, just gave the bass arrangement a try.

The tone and volume are great. The arrangement seems fine too, but it goes steadily out of sync as the song progresses.

It looks like you haven't done the beat map correctly, as the notes don't seem to align with the beat markers. Maybe things got a bit out of place when you where editing the markers, this can happen easily if you are not careful with the mouse. I think bpm is wrong, should be around 68/69ish mostly.

When setting up the beat in EoF, try switching on the 'metronome' by pressing the 'M' key when playing back the track. This should be in time with the song throughout. You can also try turning on 'claps' by pressing the 'C' key. This can also help you when doing the beat map.

Check out this tutorial from PC Plum for more help with syncing, or this video for more in depth look at the overall cdlc creation process.

A good attempt for your first custom. :)

Great stuff, very informative. Thanks for spending the time on this.

One thing you might like to add.

If you are creating the main audio from a quality source (wav/flac), then is is much better to add the 4000/5000ms silence using Audacity/similar, then directly convert this file to .wem using WWise at the higher quality setting. This skips a couple of unneeded encoding/decoding steps in EoF and maintains quality. EoF should not have been involved at all in either of the .wem creation processes.

See if you like these tones for the lead:

Thanks. Tones are a lot better. :)

I've now added the new tones and vocals, and submitted the chart for further scrutiny.

Good job :)

Cheers mate, so far...

Haven't got the bridge as of yet, it's in the post, as this was a late change to the plan. Don't really wanna start installing the rest of the hardware till I've got the posts in proper. There are some mods to the midi kit I need to do in the meantime, along with some pot/switch pre-wiring. Hopefully I can get it all done at the weekend.

Didn't cost too much to pull together. I picked up most hardware off fleabay/forums and the like over the last 6 months or so. Got the manson pickup and tuners for a great deal, and picked up the fernendes whilst in the US for a tax free steal. Midi controller and bridge was probably all what I paid full price for...

I'll post some pics and a video once it's done.

Wow, fantastic job. :wub:

Seeing your pics got me to get my finger out, and get to finishing off my project guitar. This is actually a 21st birthday present for my son, and the date is near approaching (he is daft on Muse, and a pretty decent guitarist).

Some specs are/will be:-

MBK-2 bridge pup

FSK401 neck pup/sustainer

Amptone Labs XY midi controller

Gotoh/Wilkinson VS100 tremolo :o

Gotoh SGS 510Z HAPM machine heads

Couple of pics of all the bits I looked out tonight. I plan to pull it together shortly.

Done first pass at 'The Will of One' by 'The Protomen' (PC Version). The tabs seemed pretty good.

Pretty fun lead arrangement. A bit tricky, esp. for a bassist.

Rhythm is easy to play (mostly).

OK. Done first pass at 'The Will of One' by 'The Protomen' (PC Version). The tabs seem pretty good.

Could peeps give it a try and tell me where I went wrong with the tones... :unsure:

PS Does anyone fancy doing the lyrics for me? :wub:

January 13, 2015

EDIT: I'm currently making all the Powerglove songs, they are fucking awesome >_>

Cool. I'll join in and do all the Protomen GP tabs. :)

January 13, 2015

Well, Machinae Supermacy is among the band list performing there (In fact they are the only band I recognize xD), and a song from them (Sidstyler) is already uploaded as a custom http://customsforge.com/page/customsforge_rs_2014_cdlc.html/_/pc-enabled-rs-2014-cdlc/sidstyler-r2668

If you wanted something out of conventional this would be your best bet, even better if they perform the song and fans would like to try ~~failing a trying to~~ playing it later.

There seems to be a few dozen decent looking GP tabs for Machinae Supremacy.

Maybe there should be an effort from the community to get a few songs charted from the bands that will be there...

The Protomen

Powerglove

The Megas

i own rocksmith 2014

but i own rocksmith

Do you own 'rocksmith', the original version, or just 'rocksmith 2014'?

You will need to own both to be able to purchase the song you want.

It's more annoying when you click on a note and it moves slightly :angry:

If I have notes that aren't grid snapped, then I do this as soon as possible. But I'm guessing you're still moving notes about at this point.

Is there any way to stop clicking on notes when you click their tails?

Also (and this is off topic for the thread), but since you mentioned it, is there a bug with the notification system? I've disabled email notifications for almost everything but I keep getting emails any time somebody comments on the record page for a custom that I've added to my collection (and therefor are following).

Same problem here. I'm getting notifications when a comment is added to the thread, rather than when the record is updated.

You should be able to find all the needed notes on your bass's fretboard to make Rocksmith think you have a regular guitar when tuning.

January 3, 2015

You'll probably need something like Bome’s Midi Translator running on your PC to convert midi inputs from your line 6 to the specific keyboard strokes that you want to mimic in Rocksmith.

January 2, 2015

Tried a couple in the shop and actually quite liked the look, sound and feel of them (for a change, as I prefer SG/LP)..

Is it really worth an extra £600 to get a USA made Strat though?

Opinions appreciated.. :)

Not my opinion

Personally, I think you need more than one colour when it comes to strats. So I'd recommend you buy both. Maybe a new MIA, and a used MIM.

I've searched for variations of terminology and have not found a post similar to what I'm about to ask - apologies if it has been covered already. I've noticed that some CDLC has an inconsistent note highway speed. It surges forward as the notes pass the strings. The issue is intensified, in some cases, when lots of fretting is going on. Other CDLC does not seem to have this issue and the original content also does not do this. Is this just a result of poor authoring, or is there something I can adjust on my system (Steam) to compensate for some sort of lag?

I have seen this occasionally when playing on my laptop. I put it down to poorer hardware performance.

What specs are your cpu and video? Try reducing all the various Rocksmith video settings to minimum to see if that helps.

December 28, 2014

Wow. A very thorough answer with excellent examples. Thank-you for all that work. Just to recap for the original question, customs creators CAN ADD note names with a lot of extra work (right now without automation) but there is no feature to turn this on for already-existing CDLC or DLC.

Yes, that is correct. It might be something that can be added to the custom toolkit or dynamic difficulty creator if there is much interest, and an accommodating toolkit developer.

Also, It wouldn't be too difficult for someone with some XML know how to convert existing DLC/CDLC via the toolkit import function.

Here is an example.

This can be done, but it's a bit of a laborious task, even with XML tools, but could be probably automated.

Assuming that you have no chords in your arrangement, you can add 'Notes' to a bass arrangement by fudging 'chord shapes' as follows.

Open the XML file that was generated by EoF, replace the current 'chordTemplates' section, which should be

  <chordTemplates count="0"/>

with

  <chordTemplates count="12">
    <chordTemplate chordName="A" displayName="A" finger0="-1" finger1="-1" finger2="-1" finger3="-1" finger4="-1" finger5="-1" fret0="-1" fret1="-1" fret2="-1" fret3="-1" fret4="0" fret5="0"/>
    <chordTemplate chordName="Bb" displayName="Bb" finger0="-1" finger1="-1" finger2="-1" finger3="-1" finger4="-1" finger5="-1" fret0="-1" fret1="-1" fret2="-1" fret3="-1" fret4="0" fret5="0"/>
    <chordTemplate chordName="B" displayName="B" finger0="-1" finger1="-1" finger2="-1" finger3="-1" finger4="-1" finger5="-1" fret0="-1" fret1="-1" fret2="-1" fret3="-1" fret4="0" fret5="0"/>
    <chordTemplate chordName="C" displayName="C" finger0="-1" finger1="-1" finger2="-1" finger3="-1" finger4="-1" finger5="-1" fret0="-1" fret1="-1" fret2="-1" fret3="-1" fret4="0" fret5="0"/>
    <chordTemplate chordName="Db" displayName="Db" finger0="-1" finger1="-1" finger2="-1" finger3="-1" finger4="-1" finger5="-1" fret0="-1" fret1="-1" fret2="-1" fret3="-1" fret4="0" fret5="0"/>
    <chordTemplate chordName="D" displayName="D" finger0="-1" finger1="-1" finger2="-1" finger3="-1" finger4="-1" finger5="-1" fret0="-1" fret1="-1" fret2="-1" fret3="-1" fret4="0" fret5="0"/>
    <chordTemplate chordName="Eb" displayName="Eb" finger0="-1" finger1="-1" finger2="-1" finger3="-1" finger4="-1" finger5="-1" fret0="-1" fret1="-1" fret2="-1" fret3="-1" fret4="0" fret5="0"/>

    <chordTemplate chordName="F" displayName="F" finger0="-1" finger1="-1" finger2="-1" finger3="-1" finger4="-1" finger5="-1" fret0="-1" fret1="-1" fret2="-1" fret3="-1" fret4="0" fret5="0"/>
    <chordTemplate chordName="Gb" displayName="Gb" finger0="-1" finger1="-1" finger2="-1" finger3="-1" finger4="-1" finger5="-1" fret0="-1" fret1="-1" fret2="-1" fret3="-1" fret4="0" fret5="0"/>
    <chordTemplate chordName="G" displayName="G" finger0="-1" finger1="-1" finger2="-1" finger3="-1" finger4="-1" finger5="-1" fret0="-1" fret1="-1" fret2="-1" fret3="-1" fret4="0" fret5="0"/>
    <chordTemplate chordName="Ab" displayName="Ab" finger0="-1" finger1="-1" finger2="-1" finger3="-1" finger4="-1" finger5="-1" fret0="-1" fret1="-1" fret2="-1" fret3="-1" fret4="0" fret5="0"/>
  </chordTemplates>

the flat names can be changed to sharps here if that is your preference.

Once done, replace the current 'chordTemplates' section, which should be

      <chords count="0"/>

with manually stitched together data for additional chord info. This example only shows four notes. An A, B, C and an Ab.
The chord count should be changed to match your note count (see further up your XML file). The 'chord times' should be changed to match each of your note times (see further up the XML file). The ChordId should match the chord from the above templates and the note being played, starting with A at id 0, and ending with Ab at id 11.
You will have to add one chord for each note that you have in your arrangement (this example only shows four).

      <chords count="4">
        <chord time="44.212" linkNext="0" accent="0" chordId="0" fretHandMute="0" highDensity="0" ignore="1" palmMute="0" hopo="0" strum="down"></chord>
        <chord time="45.589" linkNext="0" accent="0" chordId="2" fretHandMute="0" highDensity="0" ignore="1" palmMute="0" hopo="0" strum="down"></chord>
        <chord time="45.864" linkNext="0" accent="0" chordId="3" fretHandMute="0" highDensity="0" ignore="1" palmMute="0" hopo="0" strum="down"></chord>
        <chord time="47.242" linkNext="0" accent="0" chordId="11" fretHandMute="0" highDensity="0" ignore="1" palmMute="0" hopo="0" strum="down"></chord>
      </chords>

Finally, replace the current 'handShapes' section, which should be

      <handShapes count="0"/>

with similar data for handshapes. Again, this example has the same four.
Again, the handshapes count should be changed to match your note count and the 'startTime', 'endTime' should be changed to match each of your note times. The ChordId should be changed to match the note being played.
(It would probably suffice if the startTime value is used for both startTime and endTime)

      <handShapes count="4">
        <handShape chordId="0" endTime="45.038" startTime="44.212"/>
        <handShape chordId="2" endTime="45.645" startTime="45.589"/>
        <handShape chordId="3" endTime="46.690" startTime="45.864"/>
        <handShape chordId="11" endTime="47.298" startTime="47.242"/>
      </handShapes>

Then just package up the chart using the edited XML file.

Another, 'quicker' way, but harder to automate, is to use a copy of the EoF project and change all notes to unique double stops. Then Cut/Paste/Edit chord data from new XML to original one. Then edit the XML chord names, etc. to match the actual notes.

Check out the BONUS bass arrangement out on this chart. Took me around 30mins using the second method.

the "prefered artists" don't contain the favourites from the old site, so that's something they could improve :)

I'm also guessing there a limit to the number of preferred artists you can have. I seem to have hit it very quickly. :huh:

Could this be raised ?

Great stuff.
