I'm not sure I could pinpoint the precise song, as I've been trying to learn guitar off and on for about 10 years.

I know that on my most recent attempt (and the attempt that final made it stick) was probably due to listening to bands like Protest the Hero and being blown away by the technical ability on show. That and a renewed love of SRV

Yeah, it's really rewarding to have it actually doing something. 

When I first started, I couldn't get anywhere and it just frustrated me to the point of turning it off in a mood.

I'm still have little niggling problems, of course, but that's gonna happen. Just need to have a bit of patience and take time with it. 

I'm off work next week. By then I should be confident enough with this whole process that I can think about making and releasing stuff, with any luck, anyway.

Up until today, I'd always been using the shitty little practice amp that came with my guitar. (value brand set, about £90 all in)

Now that I'm starting to progress on guitar, I'd been looking for a new amp to have a play about with and see if that helped me at all. Popped into a local store, similar idea to a pawn shop/cash converters store, and noticed a Line6 Spider IV 15w for £39.99. 

Needless to say I picked it up and I've fallen head over heels in love with it since I got it home.

Personally, I don't add leading silence to my customs until I'm almost done now, rather than messing with the audio file. I just add the silence and then ignore all the warnings about midi and inserting empty measures, and just leave the leading silence completely blank. That way, my measures stay where I put them. It's never been a problem for me in RS2014. I couldn't speak for RS1.

 

For your timing issues, I still can't help but think something went wrong while you were synching it. Again, do you have the metronome on? Also, are you placing your GPA markers at the peaks of the waveform? I don't know if that's right, but I found that's what works best for me....just sticking it right there in the middle.

<|>

(that's my waveform spike with the marker in the middle, lol) 

Oh, my timing issues are definitely due to syncing. I've obviously just got it a little bit off when I was doing it in GPA. Just need to be more careful is all.

I need to go back to the EOF file and check with the leading silence, see whats happened there. This is all just a learning curve though, and I really appreciate all the help that I've been getting.

Other than that, Rasputin really worked fine.

I tried it again, and this time it just sat at the note highway...tried it again and it done the same thing :P So frustrating.

I'm going to take a step back from that particular song, start fresh with another track and see where we go from there.

edit:

Changed songs and went with Turisas - Rasputin. Done a basic sync and everything seems to work fine to the point where it will load and play completely within Rocksmith (YAY!)

However-: I've noticed that there are parts where the timing is slightly out and I forgot to add a leading silence (I'm sure I did, but w/e)  So my question is, if I go back into GPA and fix the sync issues, I'll then need to go back into EOF to rectify the issues and add a leading silence.

Am I best, in that case, just to start from scratch and redo the wwise stage too? EoF seems a bit clunkly when it comes to reloading past projects

Thanks again guys.

I done the process again and got the song working...kinda.

The song started about 20 seconds further than where it should have and then proceeded to crash after about 30 seconds of playtime.

Not quite sure what happened, but it could have been something I done during the EoF process, it was pretty rushed as I didn't have much time before work.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll take a bit more time and get it to work properly

Awesome, thanks.

I'm gonna try the psarc creation again now and see what happens. Working tonight, but hopefully I'm now fully equipped to begin doing proper charting on my day off tomorrow.

Cheers!

It was amps and blank wall. I could play but the highway never appeared.

I've never got my head around sorting out sections and stuff like that, so I'm guessing it could be something along those lines.

Also, yes... GPA. It's exceptional and more than worth the money

:D

I just charted and synced Justboy by biffy, which I'd been having loads of problems with, in about 5 minutes flat. 

For some reason, it didn't play in Rocksmith, but that's another problem for another day. Worst parts over! :D

I've seen quite a few people talk about this Go Play Along. I'll look into that too, as beat markers are annoying as hell :p

I keep moving them and messing up the BPM of songs 

Thanks buddy, I did mess around with it at one point but to no avail. I'll give it another shot asap

I think there could definitely be an issue with some tabs/gp files. 

I tried the above method for Justboy and had all of the same little nagging issues with the note spacing and whatever, no matter what I changed. Decided to try something else and began work on some New Found Glory and the bass has synced up with minmal effort, so that's something.

Thanks again!

Ah, fantastic stuff from both of you.

It's my day off and it's dreary as fuck outside. Gonna try and finally nail this custom creation stuff. Thanks a lot :D

Hey guys, looking for a little bit of advice here.

I've been trying to make a little foray into creating my own custom songs for Rocksmith but I'm struggling and in need of some advice. When I'm importing the guitar pro tab for whichever file I choose to try, the spaces between the notes seems to be all over the place, regardless of the bpm I've set for the track.

I've watched a couple of videos that have been posted here, but they never seem to have this issue and everything seems to line up fine.

Is it just a case of messing with the bpm until I find something that fits? That gives me another question...what is the best way of determening bpm?

For example, I was trying to make the Biffy Clyro song 'Justboy'. The GP tab has the bpm at 110 (and when played through GP it's fine) but if I set that bpm on EoF, it's way off.

Maybe I'm out of my depth, as Im still only a beginner guitarist anyway, but I'm more than a little confused just now

Christ. Let me see who I can remember.

Slayer

EDIT:

A few more...

Biffy Clyro, Bowling for Soup, QOTSA, Eagles of Death Metal, Goldie Lookin' Chain (if anybody remembers them!) As I lay Dying, Bleed from Within, Cerebral Bore, The Strokes

These were mainly as headline acts. There's a few that were support for another act on the list and one or two festival appearances. The number is well into the 100's now, but I really cant bring myself to remember most of them

I've not been playing guitar long enough to really take advantage of session mode, I don't think.

After maybe 6 or so months, I'm starting to get comfortable with basic theory and playing the songs in game but when I go to session mode, I find myself just noodling along with single notes from the scale.

Sometimes I feel like I lack the creativity for session mode, but sometimes something just clicks and it all sounds a bit lovely. Have a mess around with it more and see how you get on, session mode is only what you make of it.

it's true that the ratio downloads/thanks is ridiculous and it looks like the biggest the forum becomes the less thanks we get from downloaders, but hey, that's just the way it goes

This will always be the case. So many people will sign up and just grab a couple of songs and then they're off again. 

I'm guilty of this and it's something I'll strive to work on as I aim to become a more active member of this community. Often it's just sheer forgetfulness, I'll download 5 or more songs and it's sometimes a few days or more until I play them, by then I've often forgot about going back to thank the author.

Apologies on my behalf, but I do appreciate everything the content creators do for us here

Given how much time has passed and whatever, I don't think I'd even want a reunion anymore.

Let's just appreciate the music for what it was/is. There's so many hypothetical 'what if's' but I'm fine with the way things are.

It's odd, because I've always been used to tabs being set out the way they are, but I can't envision playing Rocksmith any other way than having the low E at the top.

Morrowind is probably my favourite game. The Elder Scrolls series in general is incredible, let's just pretend that upcoming MMO doesn't exist.

Others would include most strategy games really, Civ series, C&C, Dungeon Keeper and there's a whole load more, of course.

180+ games on steam...I've played about 5 :D

It's crazy. This place is moving on so fast, brilliant stuff and kudos to everybody involved

This place is pretty swish, here's hoping that we can put the unpleasantness behind us and continue the community here. Everything we need is in place already, it seems
