Do not hesitate to share your project if you have any issue about DD levels ;)

With DDC, the number of levels depends on the quantity of notes per measure. The process is based on the following steps : - each note is associated with a category in accordance with its position inside the measure - one level is created for each non-empty catgory - a merging task is then applied to merge together two adjacent levels if they are only a few notes of differences When you apply DD with the Toolkit, you can choose the "ddc_keep_all_levels" config file to avoid the merging task and keep all non-empty levels.

Look at this tutorial : DD Creator It explains how to add DD in an existing package ...

- The XML files located in the 1.0 folder contain only one section. - The XML files located in the 1.0/EOF subfolder contain 23 sections. - The XML files embedded in the psarc file are those which have only one section. Maybe you forgot to copy the files from your EOF subfolder.

Can you share your project or the xml file generated by EOF for this arrangement ?

It seems that you had not define the "seek table granularity" to 16384 during the Wwise audio conversion. Convert the audio one more time with the correct settings and pack your CDLC again ...

Chlipouni, 45 years old, from Paris (France) I have got two boys too ;) (18 y/o and 16 y/o) I bought a guitar at Christmas 2011 for my oldest son and he played with it only for two weeks :blink: I got the guitar and tried to play with it but without music knowledge (only with Youtube videos, one year before the first release of Rocksmith) I am now a passionate and it reminds me of my teens rocked by the metal music that I can now play in RS ... I like to make my own CDLCs because the process gives me a bit of knowledge in music theory. I love this community and try to contribute when I have enough free time.

Hi, The maximum number of phrases is only a graphical limit in RS2014. The limit is about 100 phrases. If you already have 68 phrases in EOF, be careful to increase the "Max Length Phrase" parameter in the DDC tab of the Toolkit. DDC divides your existing phrases in new ones if their length is higher (in number of measures) than your EOF phrases. If you want to see one bar for each of your EOF phrase, simply use a high value (20 for example) in this parameter ... Hope that helps

Hi raynebc, Is there a way to move the beats in EOF without moving the notes ? Thanks

DDC never uses the name of the phrases. It only uses the start and the end position of the EOF phrases as sub-sections. Then it divides each sub-section in phrases in accordance with the phrase length parameter. Then, for each phrase it generates a note map to detect similar phrases (which have the same sequence of notes). A generated name is created for each distinct phrase and applied on each phrase iteration. An other process is used to link to phrases which have different names but only a few notes in difference (less or equal to 25 percent of differences by default). You can see the result of this link process in the DDC log file. In the phrases list you have the "parent" column which indicates the link between two similar phrases. In RS2014 the difficulty level of these linked phrases should evolve in the same manner. For my own CDLCs, I always use the "p" generic name in EOF for each phrase and I let the DDC process identifying the similar phrases ...

Hi, Rocksmith 2014 has an issue with the DD bar graph when the total number of phrases is higher than 100. Try to increase the "Phrase Length" parameter (from 2 to 4 for example as a first try) in the DDC Toolkit tab.

I agree with you, my last CDLC is like a Christmas gift ...

One more CDLC done ! But which one ? That's the question ...

Here is my Rocksmith transportable kit : Laptop : Dell XPS 15 - Windows 8.1 DAC : Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus Headphones : Marshall

Sadly no improvement adding phrases and sections separately. Maybe the game does not like it if the song does start with an offset. Did you try to update the "offset" property in the XML file ? This property is always initialized with the value "0.000". You could try to set it with the time position of your first beat (the first one after the leading silence).

Are there any warnings in the DDC log file ? You may have an inconsistency between chords and handshapes. Can you share the XML file generated by EOF ?

@@MadMaxx, I don't know why, but on my laptop, the blue line highlights the current phrase but never the seek position in the song. As you can see on the video I posted for the "Def Leppard" song, all other songs has the same behavior for me (official songs, official DLCs and all CDLCs). :blink: :blink: :blink:

Thanks, this work perfectly! How did you do it, what did you change? In the config file, you can define the ramp-up model for each time signature : <?xml version="1.0"?> <config> <maps> <timeSignature beatsPerMeasure="1" categoryMap="1" subCategoryMap="1 9 5 13 3 11 7 15 2 10 6 14 4 12 8 16"/> <timeSignature beatsPerMeasure="2" categoryMap="1 2" subCategoryMap="1 9 5 13 3 11 7 15 2 10 6 14 4 12 8 16"/> <timeSignature beatsPerMeasure="3" categoryMap="1 2 3" subCategoryMap="1 9 5 13 3 11 7 15 2 10 6 14 4 12 8 16"/> <timeSignature beatsPerMeasure="4" categoryMap="1 3 2 4" subCategoryMap="1 9 5 13 3 11 7 15 2 10 6 14 4 12 8 16"/> <timeSignature beatsPerMeasure="5" categoryMap="1 4 2 4 3" subCategoryMap="1 9 5 13 3 11 7 15 2 10 6 14 4 12 8 16"/> <timeSignature beatsPerMeasure="6" categoryMap="1 2 3 1 2 3" subCategoryMap="1 7 3 10 5 8 2 11 4 9 6 12"/> <timeSignature beatsPerMeasure="7" categoryMap="1 3 2 4 3 2 4" subCategoryMap="1 9 5 13 3 11 7 15 2 10 6 14 4 12 8 16"/> <timeSignature beatsPerMeasure="8" categoryMap="1 3 2 4 1 3 2 4" subCategoryMap="1 9 5 13 3 11 7 15 2 10 6 14 4 12 8 16"/> <timeSignature beatsPerMeasure="9" categoryMap="1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3" subCategoryMap="1 7 3 10 5 8 2 11 4 9 6 12"/> <timeSignature beatsPerMeasure="10" categoryMap="1 4 2 4 3 1 4 2 4 3" subCategoryMap="1 9 5 13 3 11 7 15 2 10 6 14 4 12 8 16"/> <timeSignature beatsPerMeasure="11" categoryMap="1 4 2 4 3 1 4 2 4 3 4" subCategoryMap="1 9 5 13 3 11 7 15 2 10 6 14 4 12 8 16"/> <timeSignature beatsPerMeasure="12" categoryMap="1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3" subCategoryMap="1 7 3 10 5 8 2 11 4 9 6 12"/> <timeSignature beatsPerMeasure="13" categoryMap="1 3 2 4 1 3 2 4 1 3 2 4 3" subCategoryMap="1 9 5 13 3 11 7 15 2 10 6 14 4 12 8 16"/> <timeSignature beatsPerMeasure="14" categoryMap="1 3 2 4 1 3 2 4 1 3 2 4 3 2" subCategoryMap="1 9 5 13 3 11 7 15 2 10 6 14 4 12 8 16"/> <timeSignature beatsPerMeasure="15" categoryMap="1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3" subCategoryMap="1 7 3 10 5 8 2 11 4 9 6 12"/> <timeSignature beatsPerMeasure="16" categoryMap="1 3 2 4 1 3 2 4 1 3 2 4 1 3 2 4" subCategoryMap="1 9 5 13 3 11 7 15 2 10 6 14 4 12 8 16"/> <timeSignature beatsPerMeasure="17" categoryMap="1 3 2 4 1 3 2 4 1 3 2 4 1 3 2 4 3" subCategoryMap="1 9 5 13 3 11 7 15 2 10 6 14 4 12 8 16"/> <timeSignature beatsPerMeasure="21" categoryMap="1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3" subCategoryMap="1 7 3 10 5 8 2 11 4 9 6 12"/> <timeSignature beatsPerMeasure="33" categoryMap="1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3" subCategoryMap="1 7 3 10 5 8 2 11 4 9 6 12"/> </maps> <mergingLevelsParameters> <maxDifferencesBeforeMerging pct="10"/> <maxDifferencesAfterMerging pct="30"/> <maxDifficultyLevelToProtect pct="20"/> </mergingLevelsParameters> <linkedDiffParameters> <maxDifferencesToLink pct="25"/> </linkedDiffParameters> </config>The "categoryMap" define the category for each beat inside the measure and the "subCategoryMap" the subcategory for each note inside a beat. Then, the ramp-up model define which category and subcategory are selected for each level of difficulty. For your song, you had some measures with a 14/x and 16/x time signatures which were missing in the config file, so I added the two lines for beatsPerMeasure="14" and beatsPerMeasure="16" in the config file ... You can find more explanations about DDC in the following tutorial : DD Creator

@@MadMaxx, I tried many CDLCs and official DLCs and I always had the same behaviour (only the DD bars show the seek position). For example with this official DLC (video made by someone else) : So where is the truth ?

@@davelancel, replace the three config files in the DDC subfolder of the Toolkit by these new ones : ddc_config_files.zip Then generate again your DD as usual ...

You have a lot of warnings at the beginning of the log file : - The song have some time signatures like 16/X and 14/X and the config file doesn't contain these models - Many phrases don't start on the main beat of a measure (please correct these wrong phrase positions) The flat model of DD is mainly due to the lack of the two specific time signatures (I will send you a new config file tomorrow) ...

Can you share the DDC log file for this arrangement ?

You can also use the "Audacity" free tool to add your leading silence in the audio file ...

If two adjacent levels contain the same sequence of notes they are merged together. So the final number of levels depends of the difficulty of the current phrase (number and placement of the notes which belong to the phrase). Did you try with the following settings ? - Ramp-up model : "ddc_default" - Config file : "ddc_keep_all_levels"

The keys work fine for me with the r1350b ... Thank you
