I nearly had a heart attack when I first saw this, until I read a bit further...
I link to a folder for each individual song so that I don't have to change the link when new versions/updates are placed in the folder. Glad to know this will still be allowed.
Me too - I do the same. Phew!

Well, I'm sorry to tell you that buying a subscription to Tab Pro was a mistake not only because you get a free lifetime subscription once you upload a single tab to UG but also because they almost exclusively use GP tabs that are uploaded by users to UG and are available for free anyway, just presenting them in a different manner and allowing you to play them online. I guess the reason you can't download them is simply because you can download them on UG anyway.
Also, don't waste any money on note recognition software. It's not worth it. I haven't found a single one that works as expected and it's almost always quicker and easier to do it by hand.
Thanks Aludog - what do they say about fools and their money? :) Still, you've saved me double what I wasted on the Tab Pro subscription by stopping me spending any more on the note recognition software.

Thanks for that Alex360 - it looks like it's elbow grease then! I'll see what I can find on the web for recognition as per your suggestion.

I've just found this http://www.myriad-online.com/en/products/pdftomusic.htmwhich apparently converts pdf scores into midi files, which would be a help, although it's £40....

I can't find a way to download tabs from Tab Pro. I can print them, but that's not a huge amount of use! Is there a cunning way to get the tabs into Guitar Pro or am I faced with a lifetime of entering the notes manually from a piece of paper.....?
All comments welcome!
Cheers,

THANK YOU! I have been struggling for days with this issue. One track I really wanted to upload just wouldn't play ball and thanks to you I found the fix. I took the dots out of the band name and voila - one export. Cheers - you have made my day (even though it's only 5.37am in the morning!)

Like your Ferrari pics on your website. Are you a motorsports fan? Would love to do a vacation and visit Silverstone, Snetterton, Oulton, Donnington, Rockingham, Brands Hatch, etc. Wish I could still get BTCC races. That was my favorite series out of them all.
@@manchot66 - thanks for the comments on my photos. Yes, I'm a long-time motorsports fan. If you do visit the UK, you MUST make it coincide with the Goodwood Festival of Speed. I've been several times and for motorsports fans it is heaven. You can touch the cars, meet the drivers and have a fantastic time. There may be clips on YouTube of this year's event.

@advocatwork and @manchott66 - many thanks for the feedback. It looks like I've still got a lot to learn! Thanks for the tone, I'll drop that in later today. I do feel very mean asking you guys to try out guitar parts which I have no ability to test. Something tells me that I'll be on the look out for a six string before too long..... ;-)
All the best,
James

Morning all, here's Next To You as promised. The bass is ok so I'd really appreciate someone seeing if the guitar part works. Hopefully it'll be ok.....

Another custom I have underway is "Moondance" by Van Morrison. Again I'm having problems finding a decent tab. The one I thought was ok turned out to be anything but when I played it in RS.
Anyway, I'll sign off for the moment and when I have V1 of "Next To You", I'll put it up here for you all to have a look at.
All the best,
James
I've also been considering doing Van Morrison, but haven't yet for a similar reason. There's a songbook online that I'm thinking about getting, and I could try getting it and converting the score to tab. Might take some time, since I'm not good at reading music, though.
Happy Birthday @@albatross213!
I've had a look for the sheet music to Moondance but haven't had too much luck. I downloaded a pdf of a handwritten score this morning which I'll have a look. I used to play violin in the school orchestra about 30 years ago and when I tried to convert some sheet music into a tab in Guitar Pro, I realised just how much music theory I'd forgotten! I'll see what I can do but I have a nasty feeling this is going to be a "by ear" job!

Hi everyone and big thanks to Avdocatwork for inviting me to join.
I'm currently working on a few customs, one of which is "Next To You" by The Police. I don't play guitar so I'll post my initial version here for you axe heroes to test.
I'm really enjoying making customs, in fact I'm spending less time playing bass now and more time stuck behind EoF, Go PlayAnywhere and Guitar Pro! My main gripe is the quality of the tabs which are available. For instance, the tab I found for "Next To You" misses out chunks of the bass at the beginning. I'm reworking the Guitar Pro tab using my copy of "Police Complete" which ought to be the definitive tab.
Another custom I have underway is "Moondance" by Van Morrison. Again I'm having problems finding a decent tab. The one I thought was ok turned out to be anything but when I played it in RS.
Anyway, I'll sign off for the moment and when I have V1 of "Next To You", I'll put it up here for you all to have a look at.
All the best,
James-

Good call - I'd completely forgotten about Yes, many thanks!
EDIT: I just saved the tones from the Chris Squire track (thanks @@Aludog!) so I'll use those in the next release of Down In The Tube Station and Wait For The Blackout

Hi everyone,
I've done a couple of customs which need a good Rickenbacker tone (The Jam and The Damned). None of the official DLC I can think of has a good Rick tone (the tone on Red Barchetta sucks!) so I was wondering whether anyone has any suggestions please?
-
Repacked and it didn't work.
Unpacked everything and redid the WEM conversion and then the file worked. (using beta toolkit -0b75eabf)
In case you didn't know, the latest toolkit will run Wwise for you, no need to convert from wav to wem yourself anymore. Try deleting your WEM files and let the toolkit do the conversion.
That's great news - I didn't know that the toolkit now did that.
Many thanks for solving the problem for me and the tip about ctrl-shift-F.
Have a great day!

Here are the files - please let me know if I've missed any:

This sounds very similar to the post I just made. I'll add my psarc file to it as suggested.

Hi everyone,
I've created a new custom yesterday like this:
- Tab from Guitar Pro imported into GoPlayAlong
- Sync'd and exported
- XML imported into EoF
- Sections copied from Guitar Pro tab (as they looked ok)
- All music generated in WWise
- psarc file created in RST
When I go to play the song in Rocksmith, the amps come down, the song title and artist appear and the note highway appears, but then after a few seconds the end screen appears.
I have tried regenerating it in RST and also repacking it in BPR but it's still doing the same thing.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what I've done wrong please? I've followed the same procedure as I followed for my other CDLCs so I'm all out of ideas.
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions!
EDIT: all other customs work fine on my PC!

@@Aludog - I'll work with Bavarezkrd while I get up to speed. He's sent me links to the files you mentioned and given me some tips and ideas of what he needs from me. If I run into any problems, I will shout!

I started to make 5:15 now.
Yay!
Don't worry, guy. It's actually made (for both guitars), but I still need in bass part which will be made by Aludog next week. Keep calm and wait for this one. It comes soon. ;)
Will do - thanks for the update. I'm looking forward to this one :-)

Many thanks - that explains it perfectly :-)

I'm working on my first custom - all seemed to be going well until I put in the RS phrases. I can't remember the exact error message when I saved my EOF file, but it was something about a count phrase being missing. I couldn't see how to create one, so I just played around with things until the message didn't come up when the file was saved. (By the way, I work in IT, and if anyone had come to me giving that as an explanation of their problem, I'd probably punch them!)
Anyway, I've generated the song and it loads into RS without any issues. However, if I pause the game, it will not resume. It just exits. Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong please?
Many thanks in advance.

The songs will be....... Resolve. :D
Oh well - I had just started Resolve as my first CDLC project. At least I know the basics of how to create CDLC now and chances are your version will be much better than my first effort!

The majority of my customs are bass only, because 1) I'm a bass player and 2) without the bass, girls can't dance, or something like that.
