  1. I think now, unless something really takes my interests, I'm giving up on making CDLC.

    There's a few reasons for this.

    1. I'm not improving while playing music. I can't play. I can write, and I know how to use VST's, I post my music here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx7EGZD_iyKzWP_kgveSMTQ. My metal cover of Ys Seven Mother Earth Altago which will come out in at least a week, is amazing. I love what I've done with it. But with guitar playing, I just can't do it. And that leads into the 2nd point.

    2. I'm bored. To be honest, I'd rather be playing the hardest songs all the time, but I don't feel comfortable about it in my current situation. I could probably dedicate my time to playing Animals as Leaders, DragonForce, Obscura, Jason Becker, all the difficult songs. But it sounds bad, and again because I have weird social anxiety, I don't like people hearing the sounds of out of key guitar playing. Otherwise I'd be fine just making a song list of the toughest songs.

    3. I got Covid. Trust me, you do not want this. I wouldn't even wish it on the people who've committed the most heinous crimes. I am double vaccinated, but I appear to have gotten bad side effects. I have the original Covid, Sars Cov 2 I think? But it's worse because I have long Covid. A cough and a complete loss of taste and smell. Been a month since I had it, and it's really taking a toll on my mental health. I plan on playing more games as a result.

    4. My mental health. I sort of go into it here: 

     you can see my art in that too. My only 'Okay' art this year. But the TL:DR is, I feel more depressed because of Covid. I'm struggling to eat and enjoy food because I literally cannot taste or smell anything. Smell has only slightly come back, but even that's fucked up as now, when I smell certain seasonings in things, I smell something else. I would go and sort out my mental health issues, but there's literally no help out there for me. I'm beyond what a therapist could tell me. Therapists can't beat my rationale for reasons for me to commit suicide. Neither can you. 

     

    Before any of this happened, I sorta planned on fixing CDLC people requested I edit, and making a CDLC for a song I like called "Scourge of the Universe" by DM Dokoru. 

     

    Either way, I'm retiring from this until further notice. Plus, I think I have more worthwhile hobbies to do. Art and music really grab my interest. Especially as they are something I want to pursue to give back to the world as my thanks for all the content I've consumed in those areas. I'm mainly an NSFW artist for anyone wondering. I have a Pixiv account, unsure if I can link it. 

     

    Bye. And thanks for all the inspiring CDLC and music that has been posted here, and of course all the CDLC creators. 

  2. (I was formerly known as SuperSonic. Been meaning to get a name change for a while)

    Moving on. 

    Welp. I think this is it for me. I find myself increasingly bored of playing Rocksmith 2014. For some reason, even though I have autism, routine just isn't that fun for me. I have this issue with everything else I do in life. It might need to be something I need to get checked out.

    That aside, I wanted to announce that I'm sort of done with Rocksmith 2014 for a while? I think I'll try to keep playing. The problem is, the game runs like shit on my new PC. 

    Here are the specs for my new PC:

    Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow
    PSU: Corsair TXM 650W Semi Modular
    CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
    CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro H100x
    Motherboard: ASUS Tuf Gaming B550-Plus
    RAM: 32 GB Corsair Vengance (4x8GB sticks, 3600Mhz)
    Primary Storage (Windows 10 installed): 1TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus. 
    Additional Storage Drives: Seagate Barracuda 2TB, Samsung Evo 860, Toshiba External HDD (2TB), 
    Video Card: GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce RTX 3070 Master
     

    It just keeps white screening on launch, with no suggestions or fixes really working. When I alt tab, it will white screen and stay like that forever. The screen also gets stuck when it does this, which in this case, would warrant the game being considered some sort of virus I guess. It shouldn't be doing that. And that isn't the worst thing though. I've simply run out of music to play.

    Music drought

    I've done my best to find new music. I have a CDLC library of over 1700 songs. About 700 of which are favorited. I've listened to tens of thousands of songs, and have quite a few in my MP3 Playlist of music. Apparently 9900 songs according to File Explorer, with the most coming from Falcom Sound Team. The only few songs I've found fun to play on guitar recently are Sylosis. And everything else is just, meh. I also like songs that are solo-y, like Steve Vai. I'm bored. I like songs that move around or have a big kick. 

    To address the point I might hear in response to this. I would make more CDLC, and tab more songs. I just don't have the time. If maybe someone can figure out a way to give me 2 hours of sleep and be energetic, then I would probably find time to do that. Currently, I can't. I can't really be bothered. And I need to learn more. I don't know enough music theory, I don't know tones at all. 

    What I might do instead

    I also have other hobbies to pursue, such as gaming, music, art, writing, ethics and activism. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCx7EGZD_iyKzWP_kgveSMTQ https://www.deviantart.com/eeveeone I was kind of bought up to be selfish, but I broke out from that. It just isn't me. I want to do things that can benefit others in a positive way. That can make a big impact. Of course I still want to play electric guitar and bass. But I don't want to be a God at either. I just want to be decent, so I can make better music. 

    If I had to say what my main goal would be, it would probably be music. I have this dream of making a band about some of my other passions, and creating a new genre. I'll call it Djazz. Though it's sorta already half been done by Animals As Leaders, I think it would be an interesting concept. I also want to use inspirations like Demetori and Linkin Park to sorta make music. It depends. My goal isn't to rush out music and make a profit, it's to make good music. Current situation makes it difficult since I can't play my own instruments let alone compose and produce properly. But I'll have to make do. I get the gist of it. 

    Small rant about the community

    Something to say about the site. I don't really have anything against people, but it gets kinda annoying when someone releases an entire CDLC, one that I have tabbed out myself might I add, with a single arrangement or little to no variation on them. Where someone could literally just say "Hey, I made a tone" or "I added an arrangement, if you could update this." It's instead "I'ma reupload this." it feels really anti-social. Yet, I'm the one with social anxiety, and I have previously collaberated with others based on their profile status (When they last visited that is. Some people have made just one or two CDLC's and left)

     

    Also, some additional feedback for this site and the tools.

    CustomsForge: Favorites option for certain database entries like Bands/Artist, or Album, or Song Title, or Year. Something that can help people find music they like, or be notified when a new song comes out that they may have missed, since a lot of users update/upload daily. Let's say I have the band Architects favorited. I should now receive notifications of (And customizable via updated and or added) Architects CDLC. It's a great quality of life. 

    EOF: Just scrap it. This, alongside Toolkit, has been the most frustrating software I've had to work with at times. EOF is just everything I hate about software. It's old, it's outdated, there's no way to view keyboard shortcuts. There needs to be a new interface creator for Rocksmith. If anyone's ever seen that developer video the guys at Ubisoft San Fransisco made, you could see one of the developers using their software. It's decked out. It has everything on it. Everything EOF has except for that grey box below. Replaced with a toolbar I think. I don't like the lack of customizability in EOF. I hate that the jump to end/start buttons are right next to the fast forward and fast backward buttons. And the interface can be really buggy at times too. I remember before, quite a few times, I'd drag the start point of the note highway, and whilst it was dragging, it would magically change the BPM and make that beat tiny, and also happen to other bars. There's also that bug with not being able to calculate /16 Time Signatures in repeats, and alternate repeats not existing. Also, it's third party software. It's not gonna be that great anyway based on that grounding. It was designed for guitar hero first if I'm not mistaken.

    Toolkit: Remove the requirement for an older version of Wwise, or at least make a working link that is accessible for creators to download the older version of Wwise. Errors should also try to show what happened in a simpler way rather than lines of folder destinations. Also, a nice quality of life feature would be to do with the volumes. There should be an example preview, which is what we should hear in game as the volume. So it's up to the creators to fix that volume. Volume has always been an issue in CDLC since every audio rip is different. 

     

    TL:DR: I'm pursuing other hobbies and will be spending a lot less time on Rocksmith 2014 and CDLC as a whole. Tabs will be extremely rare, and CDLCs still rare. Depends on the music I find. 

  3. Can't remember if anyone requested it or if it appeared on the database then got removed. I will be working on making a CLDC for Sylosis - Appirations. Honestly surprised nobody had made it yet. It's such a good song. There is a tab for it as well. Two even. Usually when there's CDLC for a song, it's because the tab is scuffed or something. Usually a simple fix, or it can be a Periphery RACECAR situation, where it's so big, you almost lose your sanity editing it. I'm seriously not sure how I made that CDLC. 

    Also, I'm currently working on reworking Demetori - View of the River Styx. Where a bunch of notes have been corrected, and it should be more playable and sound like the original. Done the leads, almost finished with Rhythm. 

  4. Rework for Demetori Wind God Girl incoming. I finally discovered the issue with that intro. Wrong notes, to put it plain and simply. Person who tabbed it only put the harmony notes there which is... I dunno. But I will be correcting all the mistakes in that tab as best as I can. Meaning it will be easier to play and not this, ass of a riff to play on the high E string. I hate bending on the high E string. So easily broken. 

  5. Just listening to Architects for the first time... Yep. This is epic.

    AND WTF, THIS INTRO SOUNDS LIKE THIS DEMETORI SONG
    BTW, if you love Architects, you’ll love Demetori.
  6. Just heard NAPOLEON for the first time... art.

    1. EeveeonE

      EeveeonE

      Wait, why the Hell is there no CDLC for these guys? They're like Periphery, but better

  7. Well, that was unexpected. World of Warcraft has a 100% XP Boost until the 20th of April. Getting my Alts to 120 (Which will total around 23 characters in total. An extra one for the Demon Hunter I have on another realm). It's crazy. I haven't said this before, but I am vegan. I might as well tell everyone that now. I was vegan before, but I was stupidly thinking that what I was doing wasn't helping anyone, so I quit. Went vegan again a few months ago after seeing the demand increase. Now we're in a situation where we're on lockdown because of a virus that was caused from the exploitation of animals. It sucks that people won't take it seriously, that they (And even myself) are responsible for the deaths and the suffering caused from Coronavirus. People point to China as the problem. But it's not. If the world was vegan, there would be no viruses originating from a food market. Some advice for those still shopping. Go with vegan food. It's a lot better for you than any animal products you can find. There's no denying that animal products are the cause of some of the deadliest diseases and cancers on the planet. This would be the worst time to get that. So, go vegan.

  8. So, things are going kinda slow. Got into WoW again. Got suspended for 3 days again, because I'm an asshat, I have uncontrollable anger. Anyway, content is coming, I have three (Potentially) CDLC's coming out. Maybe more once I listen to every single Falcom Sound Team song. Yes, I'm listening to all 250+ game soundtracks they have released. My favorite so far is a mix between Legend of Heroes and Ys. Zwei is also alright. But damn, the Legend of Heroes music of recent is just incredible. One of the soundtracks was probably the only soundtrack I deem worthy of a masterpiece of music. Because all the songs sounded great, they sounded incredible. It's hard to pick a favorite song, because they're all just amazing. Dreaming and The Boy Got Wings will be the best Ys songs. Legend of Heroes however, Sophisticated Fight is amazing (tab for that soon), there's that other one with its most iconic theme, forgot what it was, but it has hundreds of covers.

  9. Finally looked into Touhou... have no regrets. Suika is so damn cute in 7.5

  10. I thought I should let everyone know about this. I'm reconsidering some choices I've made regarding WoW. Read the comment on this post for a bit more info.

    1. EeveeonE

      So, I've been stressed out with World of Warcraft for a while. And I've set out to make my objective to obtain the mounts I want, and quest through the game to play the the lore. But the mounts have been the most, frustrating, time confusing parts of the game to me. It hasn't been fun, it's been nothing but stress. The lack of bug fixes, the RNG, the way it's locked behind skill walls. I can definitely do those skill wall parts. Problem is, once I get that far, how am I supposed to get that mount? This is the problem with not everyone in the raid getting one. It just makes it unfair for those that want the mount and can't because everyone else has got theirs. And there's no reason to do that raid anymore for the owners unless it's out of generosity.

       

      I was feeling down after that. Shadowlands has been announced. And the entire panels around it, bought up nothing about fixing the issues in the game regarding RNG being required to progress. And the lack of bug fixing was never bought up by anyone. There's so many bugs in the game, it's unbelievable.

       

      I get they are understaffed, but there is no excuse why you can't just not make new content for a while.

       

      Earlier today, I was gonna attempt Glory of the Legion Hero, which I already have the achievements for, the grouped ones mainly. And strangely enough, there are bugged achievements in Vault of the Wardens. "Who's Scared Of The Dark" and "A Specter, Illuminated". Both of these are currently impossible to do. It's bugged. There were bug reports for this the moment BFA came out, and it hasn't been fixed. I'm realizing there's some crap going on this game that I'm just getting burnt out from. Come December when the Jingle Jam is on, I'm gonna grind the dungeon reps for the mounts, just to get the Heavenly Azure Drake.

      What pushed me over the edge today was those bugged achievements. I worked my way there, did everything carefully, and I can't even do them because they are not working as intended. And have not been patched. I realized I need to take a break from this game every so often. So I may dedicate one day to doing stuff in the game (Excluding Paragon mounts which I am working towards, I fucking despise them with a passion. I just hope the person who designed it no longer works in the gaming industry). Those are the only things to work towards daily, which missing a day could have a big negative impact on it. I have 5/9 of the mounts. All Felcrushers, the Dreamweaver unicorn thing, the Llothien Prowler (Fuck yes, I love this mount). That's it. Still haven't got the Carpet, the Hippogryph, the Moose, or the Stormdrake. I really want the Stormdrake. Not to mention, the other RNG mounts in the expansion. I still need two Fel Spotted egg mounts, and a couple rares, but I can't be bothered with them unless I'm desperate.

       

       

      TL:DR

      I dunno what I'm gonna do. I lost it earlier, but after a walk, I had a clear mind, kinda realized I wanted to keep playing for the questing at least, the only part of the game that works and is fun. This affects me here because it means content is going to be coming out quicker. I do a lot of projects on the side too. I do quite a lot during my day. I don't recall ever wasting a second doing nothing. I'm extremely productive and failure in doing so just makes me weak. As each day goes by, I feel like I forget something. It only scares me when I realize I'm forgetting good knowledge. One thing I never want to forget about life is how far you can get with peace and love. Being violent doesn't ever solve anything. It only adds to a list of problems. I think of it as the tree method. Start with the root. The root could be say, a murder. Now move up the root. You got police getting involved, you got the upset family, you got the list of culprits somewhere up there. And eventually, it branches off there too. Like, where do you go from there? What of the victim's families? And if they have a solution, where will that make them end up? Life is filled with things we cannot comprehend. The future is one of them. We need to work together to survive, to be stronger. And it's important to not lose sight of nature, since it speaks much more truth, and gives more answers than humanity ever will.

  11. Sorry I'm not able to post my new CDLC. I spent a good week working on the tab. It has one of the most fun bass lines ever. It's from Ys. And it's a really awesome song.

  12. Small updates. First of all. Busy. World of Warcraft yet again, taking a lot of my time. Because of poor game design. I still play it because of the somewhat amazing story (Books are better), the decent class design, I love trying new classes. And questing. The graphics on the other hand... needs an upgrade, and ffs let me remove FOG. I don't want my scenery ruined by a blanket of darkness which makes it look out of place. It's a little sad to be honest. WoW has so much potential, but it's going this really greedy route where it wants your cash and you as the player aren't valued. If I can't get my Heavenly Azure Cloud Serpant or see it in sight after I get my Felfire Hawk, I'm gonna call it quits on that aspect and go back to my routine. I also have to keep in mind, with most of the content being locked behind skill/grind walls, it's quite obvious how greedy they are. If they really cared about players, they'd scrap this RNG, grind and skill aspect of it, and reward it for milestones. Or after large quest chains, which is an RPG aspect apparently My routine is going to be games one day, projects/work another. I do Artwork and Writing outside of this. And hentai. I also write some music. And I have a lot of stuff to do. For CDLC's, nothing special coming up? It depends on the time I have and whether I can get it done before the Yogscast Jingle Jam. OH, and WoW events. Gotta do those for the weird achievement for the Pink Proto Drake. I may make Dragonforce CDLC for the songs on their new album. It was surprisingly good. Admittedly, I thought it was going to be cringe city, but it was fine. Everyone was doing their part. It sounded good. It's fine. As for tabbing? Only one song at the moment. It's a Falcom JDK cover of a Ys song called Mother Earth Altago? I Love that song. It sounds so awesome. The part where the guitars kick in, it's one of the most beautiful riffs ever. It sounds so 80s. And funnily enough, it was from the same collection as Dreaming. I've definitely got to listen to that playlist again. There was over 400 songs in it I think. I think I stopped because I said "It was too much."

  13. I want to learn drums. *Sees this*

    Nevermind.
  14. Is it me or is Dropbox becoming utter trash in terms of being able to download a file? There has been several download links on CustomsForge that say there was an error downloading. This only happens on Dropbox.

  15. The Team Sonic Racing OST is sounding amazing. Holy fuck.

    if there's anything I see worth learning, I'll probably tab it.
    1. EeveeonE

      EeveeonE

      I missed this beaut which is definitely getting tabbed:

       

      Wow. The part at 1:20 is so fucking good. It's so simple but just works so well.

  16. I forgot to say. I'm just playing through the Danganronpa games for the first time. Not bad gameplay, great story, great characters, and meh graphics. But the story is so damn interesting. I love Chihiro. Shame he had to die, but in the end, he was the MVP, he saved everyone (It'd be spoilers if I tell you how)

  17. I found it! I found where I think Real got their inspiration for Future Connection.

  18. That's all my CDLC done for a while. Before another issue may appear. I need to either find one or someone else does. And I'll fix anything. I check my content around three or four times per day, so I'll get to work on it as soon as possible. Also, I plan on listening to A LOT of music at some point. Around the time I pay The Witcher 3 again. I plan on listening to all the Pokemon soundtracks, Colleseum and XD sound amazing from the playthroughs I watched. And expect some of those to appear. I may tab some of those songs if I need to. So here's hoping I find some good music out of it.

  19. So... Pokemon Sword and Shield looks interesting. However, I only pack a Sword. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

  20. Time to create a 14 minute CDLC... try and guess what it is? And I'm not 100% sure if I'm actually capable of making it happen. So don't get hopes up. XD

  21. Why I May Give Up Learning Songs Ever since I become a tabber, it’s become very clear that I’m not really cut out for it exactly? Despite all my knowledge of music theory, I still struggle with parts of it. And overall, my biggest turn off for it is the time it takes. I suppose it’s quicker than how most people learn it, but it is time consuming because of the way I learn it, which is every measure played back twice, until I get it right. And it works. There’s a good reason why I want to give up though. I do feel I’m doing a service by giving other guitar players confidence and allowing them to learn these songs with ease, but I’m beginning to realize how much better it is just to enjoy music. It’s the same with video games. I have had experience developing modifications for games, but these are using tools provided by others. I edited maps on Team Fortress 2 and even edited code to make stuff work. And I always found it more fun to play. And it’s the same with learning music. And I am kinda saying that somebody else should learn these songs. I’ve been editing tabs for 3 years and learning songs by ear nearly over 2 years. Part of my reasons for wanting to stop, is I have better things to do. And on top of that, I’m considering playing Rocksmith to learn the techniques so I can actually begin writing music, and do much better at it. Then be able to create my own music. So much of my time is wasted learning songs which I can enjoy, but it feels very boring after a while, and I’ve been learning songs for years through Rocksmith too. I’m at the point where I want to write my own stuff, maybe jam on my guitar for hours at a time rather than learn songs. At the end of the day, I’m happy if I made other people happy, but if I don’t care about my own happiness, I’m going to end up unhappy or worse and that means I won’t be able to contribute anything. I was happy when I started tabbing, in a way. I was kinda proud of my tabs, but now it’s just questioning whether I wanted to do it or not? And I prefer artwork because of how much freedom I have as well as being able to enjoy myself doing it.

    1. coldrampage

      coldrampage

      I get you mate, once I've tabbed out a song and figured out how it goes I just cant enjoy it anymore when it comes on in my playlist. Even if it is a great song.

      I'm grateful for all the great bands I've discovered because of your work and it always amazes me how you can figure out demetori's solos. But at the end of the day it must've been a lot of hard work.

      Do what you want as long as it make you happy and I look forward to hearing your own music if you get around to making some.

    2. EeveeonE

      EeveeonE

      Thanks. The Demetori solos are tough. I managed to tab them with enough practice from learning songs. They're not 100% accurate, but they're as close as I can get them.

       

      Again, my biggest problem with tabbing is it takes so long. One or two days might seem quick, but it's around 10-30 hours per tab. That's for two arrangements usually.

       

      On the bright side, I did find a style to my own music.

       

      I doubt you'd be interested in the music I made. It's weird and far from perfect. Though there's three songs I'm pretty proud of. I also work on a lot of other projects outside of tabbing, I write fan fiction, draw artwork, write articles (Poorly written, and I always write them with good intentions and focus on the subject), write reviews.

       

      One of the quotes I live my life by is 'Life is too short' and I agree with that completely, I always make it a goal to be productive and give back to the world for the wonderful things that have been created. Any time I'm sitting anywhere doing nothing, I feel like I'm wasting time, because every second is precious. Sadly, I've got into a habit of overthinking, as a result, I've replaced science with fact (It sounds strange, but it's true) and I'm dangerously close to figuring out things hundreds of people in their professions have failed to acknowledge. I both feel cursed and blessed.

       

      Sorry, that last part was creepy. I just apply lube to reality and bingo, that's me. Slipping.

       

      I'll probably start finishing up on what I have planned and still make CDLC, just not tab as often.

  22. Just to let everyone know what I'm working on (There's a few other things, but I'm rushing to get these done, if anyone wants to do me a favor and get these old CDLC's updated before I do, I'd appreciate it) I really want to get things done before Article 13 happens? I plan on playing a few games and listening to a crap ton of music whilst playing them (Witcher 2 and 3, to give a proper review) and I plan on playing Eastshade because it looks damn interesting. Here's the list in the comments.

    1. EeveeonE

      EeveeonE

      Other CDLC to make in future:

      RIpe Seeds (Tab is terrible)

      Jason Becker - Mabel's Fatal Fate

      Whitesnake - Looking For Love (If CDLC not updated)

      Daft Punk - Digital Love (Bad tab, no arrangements)

      Embodiment of Scarlet Devil - The Maid and the Pocket Watch of Blood

      Iron Maiden - Judas My Guide (If not update)

      Iron Maiden - Caught Somewhere in time (If not update)

      Iron Maiden - Wasted Years (If not update)

      Megadeth - Washington is Next (If not update)

      Motorhead - Marching Off To War

      Mastadon - Ghost of Kherilia (If not updated)

      Buckethead - Soothsayer (Current CDLC's have no download)

      Periphery - Racecar (Try it again, last thing to do)

       

  23. I'm gonna look for some CDLC quests. I may consider tab quests, but it's depending on if I want to learn it. My motivation for tabbing comes from firstly whether I like the song, and second whether it's worth learning or seems fun to play. I might surprise a guy who messaged me about the Ys Battle theme and tab that out first

  24. Now this is done:

    I can finally get back to work. I'm creating a tab or two. Then I'm going to work on creating CDLC. After that, I may play games? But I will create CDLC when I feel a song I want to learn.
