You only have a limited amount of total space for direct uploads to the forum. If you run out you'll have to delete old attachments to free up space.

The total size allowed isn't too large so most people here use external image hosts like imgur or directly link to steam screenshots instead.

Cool... first time I ran across an overall limit, and not a per post limit.  I can Imgur instead... thanks!  

had to use imgur for the last one... ran out of total attachment size or something? 

Might've murdered the tuning machine on my bass on the last song and had to switch basses.

I was the auto-screenshot from RSMod but it appears to be taking the screenshots too early.. i'll have to figure it out later.  This is my entry.  Good luck to all!

PS: Coming Home is a fun song to play on bass.  Good choice!

Afternoon all...

I've been looking for some slap and pop in depth tutorials because... I'm a mess at it.. LOL

Does anyone have any recommendations?  I'm fully self taught on bass using Rocksmith so something that .. yanno... ELI5 might be helpful -- if you have recommendations, please drop them here?

Many thanks!

Try right clicking on the new file, go to properties and look for the UNBLOCK checkbox.

Click that unblock checkbox, and then restart Rocksmith.

That's a great idea!

I had been considering getting an actual amp but didn't want to lose the direct connection to the game, never even thought about using a splitter

I'm assuming you haven't noticed any crazy latency or feedback in the amp or anything else negative from doing this?

VERY low latency ... no feedback other than the amp being a pile of crap.

As far as the latency goes -- it really ultimately depends on your PC. (I'm running an overclocked 10900K @ 5.2ghz -- so I have very low latency ANYWAY).

You are missing the specialized tones and such because you're feeding a raw signal to the amp -- but sometimes that's better IMHO when you're trying to work on a difficult section.

100% of my bass playing experience comes from rocksmith (only ever played guitar hero before, never a real guitar) and this is what I've found too, it just depends on the song and what sounds best to you, and you might not know until you play through once or twice. Some songs will play "picked" or "fingered" but I've found that's that's more of just a recommendation imo.

Side note, but if you're new at playing bass on rocksmith you might want to decrease the track audio volume to about 20% less than your bass input volume - it will make it a lot easier to tell what is you playing vs whats just part of the song, since I've noticed a lot of CDLC keeps the bass tracks fairly quiet

As am I -- all self taught through Rocksmith for bass.  I also recommend turning down audio track slightly -- I found that running a splitter in line from the bass -> splitter -> RS Cable AND small practice amp -- gives you a better feel from of what you're playing (assuming you don't have much lag from the game itself).

For what its worth -- I bounce between pick and finger depending on the song and how much attack on the notes there are.

Green Day -- for example, a lot of it is picked.

Three Days Grace -- as an example, is more plucked.
