I found the thread you guys mentions by searching 'tone requests' (seeing how you did not post the link as I requested), all requests no tones.  This thread is for people to post tones they created, the exact opposite of the other thread.  Having to explain stuff over and over is getting really boring.  This thread is not for requests but for actual tones. 

So please, if you have made a custom tone, please post them here.

Thanks

Thank you all for all of the ways I can finish these songs.  That is not what this post is for, First; Heavy Metal is not Hagar version.  Next, I have tried several tones for Layla including Have you ever....  None sounded good. 

I do not think you are getting it - I am done with these.  Anyone who wishes to do the tones can do so, I figured it was better to post the songs with completed tabbing then throw songs out.  I will never work on these again.

Thank you

Like I said, these songs are available for anyone else to finish with good tones.  I am already working on other songs with tones I know will work.  Please have at them, the hard part of synching all of the notes, and wwise stuff is done.  They just need tones.

Thanks, Mike

This is just another guide for people to review and find what works for them.  This is also the very short version without all of the explanations behind what the steps are (that guide was over 20 pages when I finished it).  This is just something that I have used for over 20 songs and each time it worked flawlessly.  As far as synching goes, it becomes an art and depends on how good the GP tab you are using is.  Sometimes you can set the BPMs and CTRL+A (highlight all notes) and just align with the waveform.  Other times you may be required to move almost every note manually.

As far as the comments above; each comment has merit :

(such as not always needing leading silence)  But 95% of the songs do.  So rather than tie up document length with every possible exception, I decided to give a guide that will work.  I did not see any comment that says - 'This won't work'.  I have been contacted a few times for help from beginners and this what I send them, and so far no one has asked for clarifications of any part.

So, what I recommend is to look at all of the guides available and find what works for you.  Try this guide step-by-step, not changing anything, and see if the end result is a working song.  If it is then my goal was achieved.  This will mean more songs for all of us.

Thanks for the comments, Mike

As far as the link to tones, yes I have them, but I often find there is no tone for a particular band.  I have tried to use one that may be similar, but it never sounds right.

Do you have the link for the other tones thread?

Also, I personally, find it very hard with all of the options for tones to just start from scratch and try to make a good tone.  I may be tone deaf.  There are often several settings for each item (like an equalizer).  If you start doing the math on the available options on each items, and the number of items available the potential different set-ups gets into the billions. Each CDLC song takes me personally about an hour and a half, so if this shaves off some time for others, it can't hurt.

Any chance of giving me a step by step guide to how to unpack or extract a tone inside Rocksmith, and then use it?

Thanks, Mike

I have six songs that are complete m.psarc files, but they sound terrible with the tones I have.

If anyone could redo the tones and post the songs, please do it.

Thanks, Mike

Songs are:  Layla, Lust for Life, Jumping Jack Flash, Finest Worksong (REM), and Heavy Metal.

Link to folder with m.psarc files.  All should already have dynamic difficulty done.

Van Halen tones are ready.  These sounds work best for Old School VH songs, probably pre-1990.

Here is a link to Lead (Eddie) and (Bass) Michael Anthony tones.

Hello all,

After reading many ideas for creating custom CDLC songs.  I have finally completed a guide that is almost fail safe.  A few notes, first the link is a mediashare word document.  Next, you can complete all steps in the guide except for the WWise part, which you can only do on a PC.  Last, the hardest part for me now is tones.  If you do not a have tone that is really close the song will sound awful.  You can find some tones out there on pirate websites, but for many songs they are not available.  I did start another thread for people to post their tones for bands, but so far hardly any responses.  So I will say this, if you do not have a tone for the song you are thinking of making; stop now and save yourself the time.  Any feedback, upgrades, or changes to the guide from you would be appreciated.  Also, if something is unclear ask in this thread.

Thanks, Mike

awesome!!

Thanks, Mike

Before I do that, how do you install it on a Mac?

Mike

When I use the DDC creator it always starts me at 100%?

Any ideas?

I need tones for the following:

REM

Derek and the Dominos

Van Halen

Without these tones, no new songs...

Dude, I was in the same boat about  3 weeks ago and have a nice guide that show everything step by step (I will post it when it's free of all errors and complete (all I have left is fuguring out multiple tones in one song)), but for the life of me I can not figure out how to attach a word doc to this reply....  I will send you the guide if you can tell me how to attach....

Mike

This should be the link for the folder with the two tones for ACDC (Angus Young -lead guitar and the bassist who I believe is Mark Evans).  ACDC Lead is Angus  and the ACDC Bass is, well the bass (I have not listened to the bass).

http://www.mediafire.com/folder/i92bkk03cmr20

Now go make some ACDC songs.  As a bonus I will post a new ACDC song.

I think we should start posting our tone files for people to use.  You can use media fire, or whatever other means.  I think this should be a sticky because I have 5 finished songs that I can not post for others because of two issues: 1) I have yet to find a very clear explanation of how to use tone switching in the game; and 2) if the tone has not already been done there are an infinite number of possible tone settings (and I have looked online for a description of what a guitarist uses and there are dozens of different combos described online).

I will be posting two tones for ACDC (Angus Young -lead guitar and the bassist who I believe is Mark Evans).  It's also good to put the band and individual players name in the post so they can be found with a search.

Thanks all!  Mike

Hello,

Does anyone have a guide or specific instructions on how to remove CDLC (not only from your dlc folder and toolkit, but from being displayed in the RS 2014 game itself?

Next, I read there was a limit on the number of CDLC you can have active in the game (60 to be exact).  Is this true?

Thanks, Mike

you can't install on osx, make on a windows comp and convert to m.psarc later

I have found that you cannot use it on a mac unless you run bootcamp, and therefore are subjecting your mac to all of those nasty viruses.

So, I broke out and old VISTA laptop believe it or not and do my eof and wwise stuff there, and transfer the  p.psarc file to my mac for conversion to a mac friendly m.psarc file.

Ray,

Got it figured out, it worked awesome.  So much easier than doing all the levels by hand.  Only problem I have is the tone for the acdc song sounded off.  I used dist. tone from walk this way (just guessed).  I have other acdc cdlc that sounds great.  Anyway to look at the tone they are using?

Mike

Also should I hit "lock tempo map before saving and doing the DDC?

Mike

Ray,

Okay finished charting the song.  Set fret hand and arrangement type.  Do I convert this file (.eof) in the DDC, or do I do all of the wwise stuff first?

Mike

OOps, forgot to say you answered all of my ddc questions perfectly!!!!

Thanks so much!!

Mike

Ray,

Your explanation is awesome.  Because I am putting together a guide I want to make sure I have this down and in right order.  Some steps are abbreviated so you don't have to read a book!

1a)  Set up preferences, "Save separate Rocksmith files", etc.

1b)  In eof import the mp3 and do all the steps to name file and folder, set to 256, etc.

2)  generate a visible wave graph with F5

3)  Now go to Song -> Track -> PART_REAL_GUITAR (Lead)

4)  Go to Song -> Leading Silence.  3000milsec and select re-encode

5)  import Guitar Pro tabs from File -> Guitar Pro Import

6)  select which track in the GP file you want to place on the note highway, click Import, then Done.

**Now what I normally do here is make sure there is leading silence, drag the first beat marker (white line) and place it at first note is the waveform (song), then I adjust the bpm (very carefully, typically mnay times)  until the last note on the note highway lines up with the last note of song (and waveform graph).  Then I go in and adjust sections of notes to match song where needed).

From what you said, I may be doing this all wrong, "click and drag the beat markers (-->) to line up with the drummer, which is better than syncing to a guitarist because the drums will be more consistent among all of the guitar/bass parts of the song.  When you move beat markers, the notes will be automatically adjusted as long as you don't disable that feature in the preferences".

Restating what you said to see if I have it right, after step 6 above I will have the waveform and notes (which I have never seen be lined up correctly); instead of adjusting the notes I should drag the beat markers to line up with the drumming in the song.  My understanding of how to do this would be to drag the first beat marker to the first sound of a drum in the song.  Then drag the second beat marker to the next drum beat (are you using the bass drum as reference??) and so through the whole song??  And this will also move the notes?  What do I need to check to see if it is disabled?

Thanks, Mike
