  1. 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.
  2. 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.

  3. I have an electric bagpipe (see redpipe). I'd definitely like to try this out, although bagpipe scale is limited to 9 notes mainly.

     

     

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

  4. 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:

    I only charted the first 4 measures, 22 notes in all, so this screenshot shows that the note detection works pretty well:

    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.

    I think I'm finally going to get some use out of this impulse purchase.

  5. 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.
  6. 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?

  7. 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.

  8. The song I'm working on right now is really long -- almost 11 minutes. And I made a mistake while setting the beatmap.

     

    The song starts on an offbeat, but I chose the wrong one. It should start at the 2:2 (second measure 2nd) beat, but I started it at the 2:4 (second measure 4th) beat.

     

    Is there a way to drag the entire beatmap forward two beats?

     

    I've tried adding/padding beats, but this seems to rewrite the waveform, not move the beat markers.

     

    I have a feeling I'm going to have to start again from scratch...

     

    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.

    Science previously discovered that the static on your TV is actually the sound and energy of dying stars, and that anything producing energy actually produces some kind of sound, whether loud or quiet (that includes atoms vibrating). This possibly means that, given our knack for living on earth, we're "tuned" to the cosmic hum of the planets rotation (kind of a cool idea actually). And for some reason, this is believed to be in the tuning of 432hz.

     

     

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