In Guitar Pro you can mute each note separatly, also in chords. If dead note or palm mute doesn't matter, but it works.
Take a chord in GP6, mark just one note as p.m., you will see p.m. under the chord. Now highlight each single note of the chord and you will see in the signbox on the left the p.m. highlighted only at those single string, all other notes of this chord are not muted (you also can here it when you play back the tab).
just tried the p.m. option, it doesnt work.
guitar pro single note P.M. -> EoF entire chord PM.
guitar pro single dead note -> EoF nothing.
guitar pro single ghost note -> EoF ghost note. this is the only one that comes across correctly.
if i must, i'll just set things up as ghost notes and then convert them all 1 at a time in EoF.

Frethand mute inside chord aren't imported into EOF because it's known to cause recognition issue inside Rocksmith when playing.
So overall what you are trying to do is not suggested and should be avoided to get a proper RS experience.
shit, really? i swear i've seen it before. anyone have any more insight on this? are there specific conditions that cause problems?

whats the best way to write a chord in guitar pro that includes a single muted string, so it'll come into EoF properly?
guitar pro doesnt have a specific way to notate a single muted string. you can mark an entire chord for palm mute. i tried a 'dead note', but those dont seem to come into EoF at all. a 'ghost note' does, but then i have to go in and switch them to muted strings for each and every chord. its not the end of the world, but if theres a smoother way, it would help a lot with some songs i'm working on right now.

i'm getting started on 'only the good die young', so we have 2 albums complete soon...
i might also do 'heaven can wait' when i'm done with this one. i've got momentum going, might as well put the effort toward maiden superiority. =]

EDIT!
its finished! seventh son is a completed album.

Were you using the "creator" tab of the Toolkit when this issue happened (or the DDC tab) ?
the creator tab. thats the weird thing about it. i assumed that creation process shouldnt write xml at all, but apparently it did. the DDC was never at fault, it was getting bad xml from the creator.
-
a note here thats probably relevant:
when this bug happened to me, initially i had nothing else open, just the RST. there was nothing else touching the files.
while attempting to debug, i opened the xml files in notepad++ and looked through them while working with them.
when the RST compiled the package - i.e. when i hit the 'generate' button - notepad++ would alert me that the files had changed.
i have no idea why the RST would be writing to the original xml at that point, but that seemed to be what was happening.
-
i found that bug in the latest beta RST (2.6.1.0). i went back to the last stable release (2.6.0.0) and it was fine.
deleting all the xml after the </song> tag should also work, but i'm not 100% sure at what point in the workflow its necessary.
-
I HAVE A BUG! =]
been chasing this down for a few days, and with some help from the DDC guy and some others, i finally figured out its happening when the package is generated by the RST.
heres the files:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2TjljRp4LJucVJYdmQxWWx3M0k/view?usp=sharing
using the latest beta (2.6.1.0-0f95ae0d - this doesnt happen with 2.6.0.0), when i hit 'generate', the original xml files are being re-written with some extra garbage at the end. i assume thats whats going into the package too.
should the original xml files even be touched? i assumed they were just dropped into the package.
anyway... at this point this is just a bug report, since i've figured out enough to fix the issue with zero problems... but i figured i should at least report the bug.
thanx a ton for everything you guys do.
-
Can you post this issue in the EOF topic ?
Thanks
i was about to, and then i ran through some more tests.... its the toolkit thats doing it. the latest beta RST. the last stable release doesnt do it. .... so i guess i'll post in there instead. =]
thanx everyone for all your help. this community is fantastic.

i'm using r1359.
that zip file i posted includes my notes.eof file that produces the bad xml every time.
i havent figured out wtf reproduces it... but i did stab at it for quite a while. i re-created the song from scratch.... i guess i'll post the .gp5 i've been importing, thats the next question mark...
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2TjljRp4LJuOEFCdDBIVlFYWW8/view?usp=sharing
there it is, if you'd like to check it out.
i'm pretty lost on the whole thing. i cant think of any other info to give you guys. if i ever do run into a clue, i'll be sure to let you know. the only weird thing i discovered was some blank text annotations in the guitar pro tabs, but i cleared those out with the event management stuff in EOF.
for now, i have a work-around... but it does spit out bad xml every time i export, so whatever this bug is, its still there.

Hi III_Demon,
Your XML files are not valid.
There are extra informations after the end tag "</song>".
To correct them :
- open each file with a text editor (notepad++ for example)
- delete all informations after the "</song>" end tag
- save the file
- generate DD with DDC
How did you obtain these files (EOF, Toolkit, other) ?
That's the second time I see this issue.
Thanks
wow, i never would have found that. thanx lots! it works now!
these came straight out of EOF. should i post in that thread?
the tabs came from songsterr, i tweaked them a lot in guitar pro, then imported gp5 into EOF. somewhere along that line, something got messed up i guess.
-
a fine point. i should have looked in there before starting a new thread.
... really, i should sleep on this stuff before doing anything, but i got excited about finishing a song quickly. =]
-
hi, i posted in a new thread like a doofus, and was directed here.
i did a song thing. it is crashing DDC. i havent had enough sleep. sorry for being stupid.
zip with eof file, xml files, and guitar.ogg is here:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2TjljRp4LJucVJYdmQxWWx3M0k/view?usp=sharing
if anyone could take a look and help me out, that would be awesome.
thanx!

i banged out an iron maiden song in record time ( for me =] ), and everything seems ok, but its crashing when i run it thru DDC.
heres the link for the notes.eof:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2TjljRp4LJuUXh3VmdVQjg5cU0/view?usp=sharing
if anyone can take a look and maybe help me figure out whats broken, that would be awesome. i think i'm mostly just a little too tired to figure it out.
if you need any other files, just yell and i'll upload those too. i think the EOF file should be it, but i'm still a bit of a noob here, so..... help?!?
thanx!

i'm having trouble with the new WWise conversion, its saying "Could not find Wwise template", and a ton of error data... i can post that if you like, but i wasnt sure if this was the best place for it.
in general, on that topic: i LOVE that you've added that feature! converting in WWise was such an annoyance. however - i would love a workflow that involved a separate conversion. much like the DDC on a separate tab, i'd prefer the option to just hit a button and do the .wem conversion, and then point to that resulting file, rather than having it included as part of the build when i hit 'generate'. just a suggestion.
thanx a ton for all your work on this, its a great tool. keep it up!
... oh and come do a panel at magfest next year. =]

i've been doing this with magfest artists. ( http://magfest.org/- its an event i help run )
the response has been mostly positive, but .... the realities of life get in the way. many of the musicians have never written down what they're doing, many of them are just too busy, and thats the ones that 'get' it when i explain it. lots of people have no idea rocksmith exists.
i'm trying.

well, if someone wants to take care of 'still life', i've already gotten started on 'sun and steel'.

I did link your To Tame a Land in the OP --> See Piece of Mind song 9. I just carriage-returned it because there are 2 versions of this song, the other version back at Smithy's, so yours is the only one currently available.
yeah, i saw that, it was one of the reasons i posted in this thread. thanx a ton for maintaining this.
i was just pointing out 'the loneliness of the long distance runner' because i remembered seeing it go up about a month ago, but you dont have it listed.
Despite dinosaurs and humans never really coexisting, which the lyricsstate, Quest for Fire is definitely my preferred song out of the two you named. But that's just my opinion.
noted. =]
-
btw 'the loneliness of the long distance runner' is in the database but not listed in the OP.
-
i love this thread. =]
i did 'to tame a land', because it was my favorite non-charted maiden song. i might do another. my question is:
quest for fire?
or
sun and steel?

armcannon is one of my favorite bands, period. i'm friends with some of the guys, i asked them for tabs or anything.... they dont have it. :P
-
let me know if you're working on any specific bands, like powerglove. i'll contact them and see if i can get original recordings or sheet / tab, whatever i can.
i've already started working on a megadriver song, and they provided me with a full midi notation and original separate audio stems.
... btw i run magfest. =] i'm not directly in charge of the music department, but i'm one of the head guys, so i have a little pull. =]
