We have an abandoned DLC policy, so its very possible for someone to still make DLC even though it's already been made. Very recently I prodded @@firekorn to make a new version of Pinball Map because the current one isn't the best quality. But I would never ask for it to be deleted. One issue is that a DLC can fail in Rocksmith for a variety of reasons. A corrupt download, for example, is not the creators issue but the users. Md5 hashes can help alleviate this, for instance. Star rating systems don't really do much to help the issue. Popular songs are likely to get higher "ratings", and there's the aforementioned issue of people trolling ratings. Not to mention the added database stress/processing, because you would have to either clear or keep track of the ratings for each version (so as an owner you also may not want to update your DLC for fear of losing your previous reviews). I said this before at the MagFEST panel. We're a community. We aren't running a business, all DLC work is "free" (providing that you have the rights/purchased to the songs/supported the band that you're playing / bought rocksmith to support Ubisoft ), so we welcome content of all qualities. Removing someone else's work is a huge motivation killer, whereas providing constructive feedback shows that you care and helps motivate/improve the DLC. The only time I would support such a thing is if the database started slowing down greatly due to the amount of songs, but I think scale won't be an issue for us. I really admire what the Rocksmith Championship peeps are doing because it is subjective but organized, and detached from search/ignition. Of course, I'm only one part of the Customsforge team and the others may have differing opinions.

This was clearly just a statistical/quantitative thing.So don't feel bad about it. I LOVE ALL CHARTS, EVEN IF DEY BROKE'D.

Can you provide the technical specs of your computer?

The biggest issue is that you are suppose to have purchased the music of all of the CDLC that you own. A megapack kind of kills that stipulation.

Just my personal opinion, unless content is strictly against the rules (piracy, beating the legal horse to death, intentional/extreme personal attacks, etc), it should not be edited. Sure, your formatting is bad and you should feel bad, but that's the way you chose to communicate yourself. Whether or not something is irrelevant is pretty subjective, so I don't believe that mods/admins/devs should use rules that are highly subjective. I'm not the owner of the site however. Just remember, people are less inclined to read a wall of text so keeping things condensed greatly helps in getting your point across. Also, this poll is horrible. The options are one extreme or the other.

Correct, no one gets paid for this, we all do things to our own satisfaction here. The thing is, having a crappy CDLC doesn't prevent someone else from making a better version. So if you've been looking forward to playing that song, you can always make it yourself.

Unless you're making a tab from scratch and/or not bothering to sync it at least a little bit, it will most likely be useful for learning still (CDLC without tones' aren't the most fun but you can still learn). 1 is not a good solution because it tends to favor popular songs and one click ratings tend to not convey a ton. Also can be easily abused. 2 is cool, but we already have this sort of going around with the forum right now. There are quite a few threads with people's favorite DLCs, etc. 3 : Cool again, but a lot of work and the verification process could take a ton of man power. Think about it, you have to download the tab, make sure its in sync/correct notes. You're pretty close to remaking the song at this point. At this point I'm a fan of just having a "favorite CDLC thread". If you really like the way a DLC was made you can always thank it or post a comment letting the author know how much you enjoyed.

What do you think about me coding the app in C# (already started) and then you porting it to Java + making a cool GUI. I mean, it wouldn't take you as much time as making an app from scratch, but you'd still be doing a nice side project. :) (I already started making it and I'm going to talk with Unleashed.) Why not use Mono? http://www.mono-project.com/

It's the bandwidth that would kill us as well, besides the possible infringement issues :P

I'll be there early Friday, setting up the stand/booth and getting ready for the panel that goes on at 5:30. I'll post more details as they come, but MAGFest has a giant media group, and they may stream the panels? I'm sure some of them will be recorded.

This is a bias band for me because I've seen this guys since one of their first album shows at a pizza place back in 2010/2011, but if one of you guys have a huge amount of time and can transcribe/tab stuff by ear, try one of these songs :P. I already asked the band for tabs but they have none. They be NSFW, btw.

I'm not going to delete your post, but please, make a new topic about it instead of posting in this one. I specifically asked users to post high quality CDLC and its being overshadowed by this topic (ie. off topic). I am going to lock this thread. If you want to recommend high quality DLC, please message me.

Daikano, I have to figure out the details of this still, I'd like to ask your permission to showcase your violin work at the upcoming MagFEST, possibly on a panel. I still have to bug my friend to see if she would be willing to play violin infront of tons of people, but I think this project shows the huge potential of the rocksmith/customsforge modding community.

indeed, well done coming together as a community.

I'll try to have a full tracklist of what I'll be bringing to MAGfest as soon as I gather them up.

I too have asked Dethelehem for tabs for their new stuff or any stuff, they don't have tabs either !

Also, can I ask those that have recommended songs or will in the future, to include the direct download link for the PC version (DD if possible, if not, thats ok). I'm very busy this week and the next. I'll try to gather them up via Ignition myself but it would help me greatly!

I can do this on my electric bagpipes, although its been awhile.... ...not really a rocksmith instrument either..... ....yet.

PDF is a format is more so graphical with some form features/functionality built in, it's not really encoded in an easy to parse data sort of way, which is what is kind of needed for this operation.

Did we really have to ask ? Nobody asked, I just like to be frank so that there is no misinterpretation!

While I could see some of those going over pretty well, keep in mind that this is a gaming/music festival. Many people here will not have tastes "to the norm" (atleast, this is my assumption). There will probably be someone who is a huge Blind Guardian fan, to someone who loves video game music covers, to someone who digs whacky stuff like Babymetal, etc. A piece of the magic that is Customsforge to me, is that there are many niche CDLC's out there. Many people may discover new bands even this way!

I forgot to add that I'd prefer that the CDLC have DD (there will be many new comers to Rocksmith, so start off slow is good :) ) but it is not a requirement.

Ello community! I'm pretty happy to announce that Customsforge has been asked to participate at MAGFest 2015, a music and gaming festival in Baltimore/National Harbor, MD. http://magfest.org/sites/default/files/magfest-logo.pnghttp://magfest.org/ I will be going to represent us in the form of participating in a panel, and hosting a Rocksmith stand/booth where I plan on showcasing all the best Customsforge hosted CDLC's that we have to offer! More details to come, but for now, I ask the community to recommend the highest quality CDLCs you have played or created! I am very open to all genres, as long as they are high quality, and do not cause dead tones/crash. I also recommend that they have DD, but it is not a requirement. If you have a recommendation, please send me a private message (with a download link the PC psarc)! If you live in the area, please come out and support us/have fun! NOTE: This trip/event is being fully funded by myself, personally. All of your donations are still being used for site upkeep/server costs.

Gonna try these with my friend's electric violin.

You could download a ton of CDLC individually and try to add them all, but I also feel like non-stop play is a great candidate for this. Remember, on some albums, not ALL songs have the same tuning, so you're pretty screwed... but with non-stop play, you can switch :)
