Rocksmith 2014 Championship Week 591
cacahuate51 replied to Rodman's topic in Rocksmith Championship
Bass play tests: i played them yesterday so i dont remember 100% Thanks Rodman for the week! classic toto song! to me it seemed harder to 100% first try just cause of the higher riffs at the end, but im happy with harder stuff in intermediate. the rest of the song is pretty simple so i guess i understand. yea fun! the only path iliked from the cdlc. I'd personally give it a 5 or even lower, just cause its just one progression that repeats almost all song and then it goes an octave lower and doesnt seem too technical. but maybe thats just me. seemed pretty easy but yea gl to those who dont use a pick. I goofed up on a wrong fret on the long streaks so i probably missed a ton that i shouldnt have. -

Are you refering to your 89% in heaven? It should be on the list now. If it wasnt before thats because i had deleted the spreadsheet and redid the scores in order to change helix from 8 to 9 in lead and 6 to 5 for magdalena bass as suggested by others. (would be nice if people would give their own ratings with numbers for each song in all weeks with a submitted score so we can average them out just to have a more balanced competition in the future) If there is another score missing then i didnt see it in the forum? (since you liked the natalia lafourcade song i would suggest you to play Nunca es sufficiente by her and another group dont remember the name at the top of my head, surprised its @ Hameron s but i guess it was in the time he wasnt doing lyrics, anyways that song is always being played in clubs in mexico lol)- 123 replies

redoing playthroughs: Wished chiefs tried harder that superbowl was a pretty brutal game. But glad they managed to score some towards the end. Nice to see this chart got an update. yea..too bad i lost my test files..100 is hard in this one imo, high 90s is very doable tho.- 123 replies

Right, as far as i am aware of, with audacity or any daw you wont be able to record Rocksmiths audio. (hence you are getting the error because you can only use it with one daw or only rocksmith not both at the same time. The cable and daw is just so you dont have to buy an interface to record your guitar outside of rocksmith for your own song /a cover. By windows working do you mean you can record a video with audio? If so, some daws allow you to import a video to the daw. Else you can always just use vlc (a free software similar to itunes) and convert the mp4 to mp3 and use it in a daw...or just use the mp4 in like clip champ (the video software editor that comes with windows 11) and paste the original audio Just depends how much you want to change the song or add to the cover ig? unless im understanding the word cover wrong. If you need anything you can also just write to me on discord and if im by my pc ill try to help. https://discord.gg/hEafPuZ9zs- 123 replies

that vid should help you out ah that blows, you used to be able to windows R and record rocksmith thats how i did the majority of my playthroughs on yt. so if your phone doesnt pick up good by your speaker, although it should, just connect the rocksmith cable and set it up in audacity here: you wont be getting the rocksmith tones so dont have rocksmith open, but you will get a decent clean signal. Also if you arent getting a signal with the rocksmith cable might be that you need to play around with your cable/ move it around (atleast that happened to me) https://i.postimg.cc/dVnqBQkm/Screenshot-2025-02-13-133400.png make sure when you record an play you dont go red or the audio file will distort and be squarish like the one in the pic (unless thaats what you are going for) i also opened up bandlab which might be more userfriendly than reaper or audacity just to get a feel for a daw https://i.postimg.cc/QxQNFJjz/Screenshot-2025-02-13-133300.png it has its own library of instruments (albeit not the best) but it might be an easier stepping zone). You can use it with your phone aswell which is pretty neat. And it has its own walkthrough simple tutorial of the software Since it is its own software the limitation is you can only use their synths and vsts. Which is why reaper or another daw would be more suitable but once you learn one daw most daws become a bit similar (they all have their own advantage/disavantage). Maybe i am overwhelming you with options xD but yea just not a fan of audacity (although it does have its uses just like any software). I personally use ableton which there is a free trial...however it does cost alot so i wouldnt reccomend it. fl studio offers free time updates which is good. anyways going off topic just pick a daw and stick with it- 123 replies

to add to that Most DAWS (digital audio workstation) aka audacity reaper garage band ( used to come free with macs) etc come with a metronome. So make sure to read the manual on which ever daw you use. like mentioned previously, reaper is the one that will allow you to do pitch shifting if you set it up correctly, and it has a 2 month trial for you to test it out. So perhaps by learning that daw youd be killing two birds with one stone. I personally don't use it but maybe its a good option to keep in mind. Like Rodman said, audacity is free and it looks like they have updated the interface which is good cause it needed it badly. The rocksmith cable works to record on a lot of daws (maybe all of them) So you would atleast have a decent clean signal if you wanted to do fx on the computer. If you had amps maybe the best option is just record with your phone (since you said no recording gear) microphone like rodman mentioned. If you dont theres plenty of free guitar amp vsts out there and pretty decent just look on yt. actually now that im writing this, if you have decent speakers you could probably just go in rocksmith to the amp section and play around/ record with your phone. OR if youve ever recorded rocksmith gameplay then just use the video in the daw (most daws support videos) You can upload on soundcloud for free (there's a limit of tracks but if you run out of space, which i dont think you will, you could just create a new account). By uploading on soundcloud you would just need a audio file meanwhile on youtube i believe you still need a video, which would just be another step.- 123 replies

Ooh interesting I never heard of this song or the remix. The song I have heard is "heaven is a place on earth" by belinda carlisle. I like that song more tbh, wonder if its on igntion Edit: oh snap it is! and i just saw you recommended it on ssl aswell and your ratings (intermediate). Seems like if you are a begginer heaven aint the place for you.- 123 replies

cacahuate51 replied to cacahuate51's topic in Rocksmith Championship
Yeah thats kinda the downside of themed weeks, you choose a theme that people arent into and it can be hell for them. Oh well, glad you enjoyed one song though! interesting you mention johnny winter cause I had tested one of his songs and was close in selecting one for this week. Steel panther is definatley one of those controversial bands that people tend to have a strong opinion about, hate or enjoy, the line between cringe and comedy is very thin. I personally enjoy a lot of their songs.Their personas makes them interesting to watch (tutorials, interviews etc). And this song seems to be heavily inspired by or mocking Extremes more than words. I also remember the band has stired up some heat before in the championship They are all old charts though, so youll be safe from me picking more of their charts (unless the creator or someone else decides to update them/make more) (kinda a conversation i had with @ Daz40 in discord a while back)- 123 replies

Damn! nice work getting good at chords! Very cool to point out that the last 3 songs are in F#minor. I personally cannot confirm that with you cause I honestly am still lost with names of scales when it comes to guitar so you are doing better than me apparently. If it were on piano i could though (way more simple) I did check on tunebat and you are right ! ( granted tunebat does sometimes say improper scaleswhen theres lots of chromaticsm or key changes but lets assume so) : waste of time, before i forget and die with a smile are all f#minor. foo fighters- everlong (in before i forget/ gh week) was: Bm 10a cam and show me how men i trust ( rhythm and bass int this week) is: FMaj 7bcam Fun useless trivia (since i spent time sorting gh+rocksmith songs ages ago by "scale " according to tunebat so might not be 100% accurate but close nuff) The most used scale in the songs was DMaj/Bm 10a camelot with 362 songs F# minor is the 3rd most used scale in all the songs of rockband, gh and rocksmiths dlc ( 289 songs) . least popular scale was F#Major 59 songs...so if the stats are right i guess dont write a song in F#maj write it in minor instead (although some of my favorite songs are on that list so eh take it with a grain of salt lol) also very cool youtube video /channel thanks for sharing! great to see yts tutorials are getting more comprehensive used to be a nightmare to learn songs with videos. The diagram helps alot imo.- 123 replies

cacahuate51 replied to cacahuate51's topic in Rocksmith Championship
Ei np! Thanks for suggesting it, and feel free to suggest harder songs as it would be nice to have harder songs in the championship for bass! I do agree that they are both pretty much the same level since those songs I did test when my pc was alive and got 100% on each. I just gave secrets a bit higher cause it took a me a little bit more tries to go from 99 to 100%. (but to be fair ive played it less overall) Theres less notes so its easier to get a high score aslong as you are quick enough with the slides or short fills. Fun fact when I suggested the show me how song 2 years ago(been a minute) I had rated it a 6. This time that i replayed it i didnt miss a note so it felt a lot easier so thats why i rated it int instead this year. But yea idm giving secrets a 5 if people agree (and just having an "easier song for advanced this week") . Like ive said I'm open to change ratings, personally enjoy when we give them a lower rating just for more of a challenge. Am curious to know others number rating (1 to 10) and opinion- 123 replies

cacahuate51 replied to cacahuate51's topic in Rocksmith Championship
Since valentine's day is coming this week, I decided to pick songs that could fit that theme! Hope you all enjoy at least one song and have a great week! I do have to say, I didn't test all of them as I officially had to bury my pc this monday(you will be missed, pc). But they should be ok. Like always feel free to give your ratings and leave any comments on ignition (where you download the cdlc) if you liked it or any other feedback for those creators. Heaven- This song was suggested as a beginner song, i found it a bit hard hence the ratings of 4 (intermediate). I tried my best to find an easy one @ Willyam but wasn't able to before the disintegration of my pc. Is there any chance you’ve tried emulated bass? That may be easier to get used to rocksmiths interface as it's usually just single notes. I think you just need to press the tab button while in the tunner page of the bass path. I did notice you got a decent score last week so grats keep it up! Taylor Swift this is me trying- I don't really watch american football but the superbowl is this weekend. That means taylor swift will appear alot since she is dating the football player of the chiefs (GO CHIEFS!!!) I just picked this song out of all of her songs so I could make the pun “This is me trying to” host a week without a pc. Die with a Smile- Has the same chords for a song i never released so i have a soft spot for it/ enjoy it. Good tab as well. Men I Trust show me how- Love the band. Neat fact about them you can download all their music for free on bandcamp (if you are still collecting mp3s and not using a streaming platform) https://menitrust.bandcamp.com/ This song was one of the first songs I could 100% consistently. Now it's a bit easier because the chords have the sustains which makes it so you can hit the chord pretty late. There's not that many notes like 116 or so but since its has a little more complex chords i'll leave it at 4 for now and as a backup incase you guys think heaven is harder Magdalena Bay- their music videos are always interesting to watch lol Steel panther- gotta have some laughs or cringe..both are good. I didn't test this one recently..i did have it noted in one of my excel sheets from the phone that the notes were not on the grid (so if you convert to gp it'll look weird) but note wise it should be ok? Brazilian love affair george duke- Just a recommendation by mystic Helix - I didn't really see any masterclass love songs so I chose a random capo song with a love themed title. Hopefully its ok. Rodman gave it a 7.5 for rhythm so i guess it might be an easier song this week. Joe bonamasa blues- This song should be a bit easier than freeze pop? It was mostly pentatonics and lots of bends. It does last more than 7 mins so that's why i did it for gog.- 123 replies
