Sorry, guys.  I failed to post a score last week.  Between trying to join a band, learning songs (yes, learning) and sorting out our drummer's issues, I just didn't get time.

I did have my first jam session with real people yesterday though.  It didn't go too badly...  :o but to say I'm a little tired is an understatement.

I really should have done it years ago though...

Maybe I'll have time after our next jam (Thursday) to give the CS a go again.  :)

A bit of improvement

Err, no it's not?  Have you posted the correct screenshot?

Hello first time I participate, sorry for not English

 

Welcome :).  I have put you in Advanced Lead.  Let us know if you want to change that.

My drummer has had me learning Garbage, Texas, Shania Twain and Cyndi Lauper, only for our singer to drop out last minute...  I haven't had much time for the Championship.  My one shot DHM score:

Don't Master Mode scores have to be within 3% of a highest submitted score to count?

 

Having it sounding OK, but, nailing that picking pattern is gonna be interesting.

The link isn't working?

Very late start, first go:

I thought I'd have in in score attack:

But, no, it really is beastly.  So I gave in another go in LAS, with the intention to stop and practice "that bit", but I thought I was doing better so just played on:

Obviously, I wasn't doing that much better... lol.

You have run the patch?  And followed all the instructions here:

http://customsforge.com/topic/33889-how-to-add-custom-songs-on-mac/

I have it, but it's at home.  I'll post a link up on the record page tonight.

 

I think some scores were left on the board from last week.

 

I have scrubbed @@Fandaru, @@Rodman, @@Anwyn and adjusted @@Telboy's scores off Adv Rhythm, and taken @@MellonFarmer's off GoG.

 

If you could all check your latest scores are all up there, and there are no spurious ones, that'd be grand!

 

(Also the sort function appears to be broken on GoG...)

My scores are fine now. 

I don't know how many people are involved in the data entry, but if you need help I'm up for it. 

 

@@Rodman would be the man to talk to.  ;)

Is there still time?

Shit cable strikes again:

I just don't get it, 'cos I've registered a few 100% on other songs tonight, but then again it just fails to register anything mid-way through a song.

When does this week run to? I'm thinking of having a crack at it tonight!

Until about 7pm (GMT) on Saturday, so you still have time. :)

+1 for the ABY splitter.

I've still worked my way through two Realtone cables in four years though.

@@missis sumner How do you play the game? Because there are other variables that could induce latency. Plus, I've also heard that you'll want to primarily use the real tone cable since it works best but idk.

 

I play on my old MacBook Air.  I've got the input selection within Rocksmith set to "mic" and I'm using a generic analogue to digital USB cable, like this:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Alesis-AudioLink-GuitarLink-Plus-Interface/dp/B004LUH5UI

I've no doubt the game works best with a Realtone cable, but not with mine it doesn't - it's broken!  :lol:

Is it still the goddamn cable?

Yeah they are sooo badly build. My advice is clear: NEVER plug the RS cable directly into guitar/bass.

 

 

Yes, it is.  I'm playing on a generic Maplin one as a mic input to the game, and whilst I seem to have sorted the volume issues (it's an awful lot louder than the Realtone cable), it takes a while for the game to recognise that I'm playing a note, to the point that if I'm not ahead of the beat, it doesn't register some things.

I will have another go at my settings again tonight.

@@Rodman not the guitar is fine and I hope to have a go tonight, I just got the Stir it up Bass in my head and just had to go for it, I just know that Misses S will have a come back score though :-(

My latency is that far off that I don't do scores.  I try to concentrate on sound.  :D

So the win appears to be yours this week?

 

I think both of those would be easier with a pic.   But i don't like playing bass with a pic.

If you're using the same pick that you use on guitar, maybe try a thicker pick?

It took me a fair while to settle on 1.5mm. 

Here's one I did earlier:

I'm putting yesterday's poor effort down to cable issues:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nBgPYZTABNppO-mZH5jPDbru66NwENxY/view?usp=sharing

It was just refusing to register any notes towards the end of the song.

I know the organizers have a lot to do and are doing a brilliant job but has anyone thought of adding another challenge either weekly or bi-weekly ?

The way I see it is that it some of the contestants find it quite easy to follow the pretty colours and have a good score right from the off but improvement is limited from then on but are you really learning the song or just following the notes ?

So why not have a Master mode challenge on a nice and easy song each week, no notes showing, no pretty colours, just yourself and your guitar/ bass.

If the song is pretty easy then everyone can join in regardless of finger/ pick or hand skills and can actually be able to play the song without the aid of the highway.

 

Just an idea because some of my 100%’s That I found pretty easy I could never ever play without the Rocksmith notes prompting me, just wondered if it might be fun.

I'd be happy to challenge you to bass MM battle on Stir It Up (cable permitting), since I can already play that one without the notes!  :lol:

You have a very valid point, Rocksmith teaches you to play, but it doesn't teach you how to learn a song.  And it's so much damn fun to play Rocksmith that even if you do want to actually learn to play, it's difficult to tear yourself away.  Damn you Rocksmith (and your shitty dying cables)!  ;)  :P

My Realtone cable has broken - so plaing with a generic cable.  It's not too bad, but I think I need to sort the settings out as the input volume is awfully high, and causing uncalled for misses, honest.

New bass for this week! Not used to it yet, but hell of a lot of fun on this tune. I'll update the score tomorrow night, kinda blistered my fingers a little this week with the new toy and all.

 

 

C'mon - you know the drill.  Where are the pictures? :)

(Edit - Of the bass not your fingers!)

It's nice to make an improvement during the week, even if it is only slight:

@@Stark_Knight got the drop pedal tonight and this my first time using it.  Seems to work really well, now I need to practice the song

Sorry, must have been asleep when you two started discussing this, but would said pedal work with bass?
