My 10-Step process: Gather as much information on the song as I can (tab, live videos, video lessons, etc). I've never found a guitarpro tab that I was completely happy with, so just importing never seems to work out. Use Audacity to add 5 seconds of silence at the beginning and 3 seconds at the end of the mp3 . Save .ogg and .wav versions. Cut it down to 30 seconds with a fade in and out and save as the preview .wav Import the .ogg from step 2 into EOF. Chart, sync and do everything else in EOF. Import the .wav and _preview.wav from step 2 into Wwise to generate the .wem files. Find some album art and use photoshop to crop it and some free software I found to convert to .dds Compile everything in the toolkit with a placeholder tone. Start Rocksmith and hope for the best. Fumble around until I find some reasonably close tones. Release and wait for someone to tell me I messed something up. Repeat as desired.

I had a dot studio and it was a great guitar. The only problem was that it was a fairly large-bodied guitar and I mainly used it with Rocksmith sitting down, so it was a little uncomfortable. That said, BB King can deal with it so maybe it's just me.

Some of the tunes in the Scottish mandolin book I have are pipe marches, so they should work for you.

Mandolin works

Just wanted to check in and let you guys know that I made a quick custom for mandoiln to test and it seems to work. Tuning screen is a little screwy but it works: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=255366549 I only charted the first 4 measures, 22 notes in all, so this screenshot shows that the note detection works pretty well: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=255367052 Things to keep in mind: I couldn't figure out why I had to tune at the 12th fret - then I realized I had emulated bass turned on. It's important to calibrate or note detection will be utter crap.LINK to folder containing psarc, xml and eof files I think I'm finally going to get some use out of this impulse purchase.

I have a mandobird. At some point I'm going to take a shot at doing a custom for it, probably something out of Dagger Gordon's Scottish mandolin book. Should work for electric violin too since they use the same tuning. Assuming the tuning works, I foresee 2 problems: Having to tune and then having to go into the tuner again to get the second string in each pair. I'm a little worried that someone will unwittingly download this not knowing what it is, try to crank their guitar or bass up to mandolin range and snap a string.

I've been wondering if it would be possible to make a 4 string arrangement starting with bass and cranking the tuning up to GDAE in violin range (+27 or so half steps). I have an electric mandolin I think I'd get a lot more use out of if I could play it with Rocksmith. You say it's limited by EOF?

The last song I would like to hear would be anything sung by my daughter. If I died today it would probably be the song from Frozen, or rather just the part she knows, sung at the top of her lungs. In the movie version of my life, the last song I hear will be Flight of the Bumblebee as I'm plummeting through the clouds strapped to a bomb.

You can also set the changes to different time signatures within the song if you can work out where they are. I had one where there was a half measure added onto the end of every chorus.

for a delayed bend, you want to put a tech note with bend strength of 0 at the point where the bend starts and a tech note with bend strength of 2 half steps at the point where it gets up to pitch. Delayed slides don't work with tech notes. You have to use multiple notes and linknext status

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by setting the beatmap. Do you mean you're dragging the beat markers in EOF to line up with where the beat is in the song? If so, you can just count back 4 beats (or 2 beats if you're half a measure off) and start the measures there and it should adjust all the other measures accordingly without having to move anything.

I'm going to finish up another custom and then I'll jump back on this one. Sorry! I didn't realize anyone was waiting on it.

I use guitarpro for this. I think you could use any of the free tabbing programs like tuxguitar as well.

Getting ripped off a candy bar is one thing. If my $20 tuner doesn't fall, I'm tipping the machine over.

You're right, it's gone. I'm not sure who made it so I don't know who ask.

Cool, looks like I can take a whole kindergarten class full of guitar prodigies.

The folky rock scene may be a little oversaturated at the moment, but these guys are at the top of the heap: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV0xX1hAJok

Don't stop now! You're winning!

Really? lol Yeah, I think I could take him. It's all I have left.

Tab by hand from tabs, videos, etc. I try to figure things out by ear when necessary.

Bet I could beat him up.

At least you'll know the tabs are accurate!

I ran into this a while ago and bookmarked it, thinking it might be useful one day: EHX Effectology The problem is most of the tones I've looked at use the HOG or POG pedal and I don't think that Rocksmith has an equivaent.

Even worse than that. It came from Ultimate Guitar.

I hear it also makes erections last 2x longer! And makes your whites whiter! Now more than ever!!!
