Still not sure what showlight does, how to influence it, can't see no showlight option in Toolkit. Is this related to Rocksmith events, like in EOF Crowd happy, wild. Because I've no idea what is "High/Low Pitch tick" either

I got strange behaviors like that, specially after setting leading silence in Audacity, and trying to make adjustments later in EOF. Maybe some ogg compatibility problem. Try reloading the mp3. There are also two options to add silence - Stream copy - silence is added lossless without re-compressing (could fail) - Re-encode - silence and wave data get re-compressed (not lossless, but probably meaningless) If you set silence out of EOF, in EOF you can adjust the notes and beats to the start of mp3 with song/properties/delay. Delay does not change the ogg. Try values until they sync.

I would like to add that Lyrics (or Vocal track) don't have to be limited to song texts. Depending on free space it may be use to : - identify charter, version, credits, day of release , tabber ... - give instructions how to play a set of notes that RS doesn't display (i.e up/down strums ...) - give information about bonus tracks or techniques (i.e in exercises, ...) as there is no other way to display those. I mean of course at the beginning or end of song without interfering with Lyrics , or if it is instrumental only. When adding Lyrics directly in EOF, it's easy to write more words in a bloc, but it's recommended to reserve one word per bloc to get a good spacing between texts in RS.

I could not find a help topic for the -n option. About different guessing options, I thought of respecting the real duration of sustains, (except if they have none) and fill in the rest with usual "rest", not dotted, and give the option to add this as a second track in Gp5. In weird guessing cases, it would be easy to copy the part of a correct guess from another track. Just an idea.

All notes were perfectly snapped, when I find the reason, I'll inform you. I was rather sure that making DDC to know where to start and end a phrase would require to exponentially analyzing and comparing all groups of notes starting at 2 up to at least half the number of notes. While this is not impossible, we wouldn't need to do phrases then. Meanwhile, it's good to know that defining phrases is recommended.

Thanks Chlipouni for the insight of the DDC process. I'm going to check the log files, but I'm rather sure, all set of notes in scale1 are (if you can decypher my image) absolutely identical. I can't understand why phrase Id 2 and 3 are not getting the same Id as Id 4 then. Question is if and how far the DD process interferes with phrases which have been defined manually in EOF. Am I right to conclude that the higher the phrase number in DDcreator, the more identical or similar set of notes can be found, and the more responsive becomes DD in RS? Usually I read recommendations to set phrase number to 4, so on what depends the best choice?

Dynamic Difficulty is rarely well responsive in cDLC on phrase levels. When a phrase is leveled op or down, identical notes in other phrases don't level. This happens because most of us don't define phrases, Phrases are sub-elements of sections, they subdivide a section. A phrase should not cross two sections, it should not start before or end after a section. To avoid problems, usually the whole song is divided in sections (more or less respecting its note structure) and we check "also add as phrase" 1 section = 1 phrase, while a section can have multiple phrases. We leave the task to define more phrases to the DD creator. It is easy to define phrases by using EOF "Catalog" in song menu, which is the most underrated feature because it seems always deactivated. Catalog gets activated when 2 notes at least are selected. It groups and names ranges of notes and finds all identicals. Catalog note blocs can be displayed (Q), and played below the main "Piano roll". Catalog note blocs can be named freely, and their name can be used as phrases "LeadScale1", "BassScale2" ... Instead of starting with a global song view (using Lyrics to structure), start with the 1st repeating pattern of notes. Procedure would be : 1. Select the first repeating set of notes and define its name in Catalog. (it must start on a main beat called measure, to make it a start position for a phrase) 2. Give the same catalog name to the phrase (shift+P) at the 1st beat of the selected notes. 3. Use the catalog feature to search (F3) for identicals (sets current position on it's first note) (or shift+F3 to jump to previous identical) 4. Give all found set of notes the same starting phrase/catalog name. 5. Repeat procedure for next set of notes 6, Check for unrepeated rest of notes following defined phrases (solo, intro, outro ...) 7. Gather phrases into a section, without checking the "also add as phrases". This may need to be done for all parts lead, rhythm,bass, selecting "specific to PART_..." when adding a phrase. Catalog is not related to Phrases, it only helps to create them. This means you can give same phrase names, even if single notes, ending notes are different. This way Dynamic Difficulty works correctly. Success/fail on one phrase level adjusts all levels of the same phrase name (like in official songs) It may take more time, depending on the song, until one gets used to. And it helps analyzing song structures. Example : In a 1st section called "intro", 4 phrases are freely called "Scale1" and another called "Scale2" http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/0d08/puniaho9c981301bg.jpg?size_id=6 In a 4th section called "postvs", 1 phrase only among 2 others is called "Scale1" http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/f79b/w5235ha5t7lj69dbg.jpg?size_id=6 I let the files go through the DD creator (with 6 phrases set) and it kept my number of phrases. http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/b167/25dmq383jhocdg2bg.jpg?size_id=4 Now, when I increase the level in the section intro (it's not possible to increase the level of a phrase separately), the phrase "scale1" in the 4th section "Riff" is automatically increased, without being selected and only this phrase. Check XML level of the events The XML of EOF : Phrase names get replaced by a phrase ID (position depending) <phrase disparity="0" ignore="0" maxDifficulty="0" name="Riff1" solo="0"/> <phrase disparity="0" ignore="0" maxDifficulty="0" name="Riff2" solo="0"/> <phrase disparity="0" ignore="0" maxDifficulty="0" name="Riff3" solo="0"/> phrase disparity="0" ignore="0" maxDifficulty="0" name="Scale1" solo="0"/> <phrase disparity="0" ignore="0" maxDifficulty="0" name="Scale3" solo="0"/> <phraseIteration time="5.976" phraseId="4"/> <phraseIteration time="9.910" phraseId="4"/> <phraseIteration time="13.845" phraseId="4"/> <phraseIteration time="17.779" phraseId="4"/> <phraseIteration time="42.369" phraseId="3"/> <phraseIteration time="46.304" phraseId="4"/> <phraseIteration time="49.255" phraseId="5"/> All phrases Scale1 get the Id=4 The XML of DD Creator : Phrase names of EOF get lost and replaced by another name and phrase ID <phrase disparity="0" ignore="0" maxDifficulty="3" name="p1" solo="0"/> <phrase disparity="0" ignore="0" maxDifficulty="3" name="p2" solo="0"/> <phrase disparity="0" ignore="0" maxDifficulty="3" name="p3" solo="0"/> <phrase disparity="0" ignore="0" maxDifficulty="2" name="p4" solo="0"/> <phrase disparity="0" ignore="0" maxDifficulty="2" name="p5" solo="0"/> <phraseIteration time="5.976" phraseId="2" variation=""> <phraseIteration time="9.910" phraseId="3" variation=""> <phraseIteration time="13.845" phraseId="3" variation=""> <phraseIteration time="17.779" phraseId="4" variation=""> <phraseIteration time="40.402" phraseId="8" variation=""> <phraseIteration time="42.369" phraseId="9" variation=""> <phraseIteration time="46.304" phraseId="4" variation=""> <phraseIteration time="49.255" phraseId="10" variation=""> Only the previous identical section seems to get a common ID. Maybe the DDcreator's can explain this. I hope to contribute to go beyond the "lazy Section=Phrase" option, to make cDLC closer to official quality and make Riff Repeator and Dynamic Difficulty work as they should, considering most users are probably beginners or enter intermediate level.

I didn't uninstall all back to the 14 august, as this could only be a temporary solution. I wanted to know the reason and hopefully found that in the "Make the keyboard easier to use" settings No, uninstalling Security Update for Windows 8.1 for x64-based Systems KB299365 did not work for me. Unchecking all options in "Make the keyboard easier to use" (ease of access center) still resolved problem

Obviously this sticky key with the ctrl and shift button is a windows problem. So I finally did the obvious and checked windows sticky keys, on win8.1 called "Make the keyboard easier to use" (ease of access center). They somehow turned on "Toggle keys by holding down NUM Lock for 5 seconds) They have some kind of humor, as I never asked for this. The sticky keys have gone, for a while ...

I was rather skeptical about this project, but it has become an amazing tool. I'm sure it will generate ideas in peoples mind, they could not think of before. Like creating a compilation "Best of Buckethead's Riffs" I came up with the idea to convert the "etudes.psarc", which contains about 35 teaching lessons under names like "$[33147] - $[34420]" I also became nostalgic with Dos batch files. So I adapted Azreals batch file my way for dlc's I put on my desktop or in a folder on the desktop, to convert into a folder Gp5 on the desktop (on Win8.1) title RocksmithToTab Batch-Convert REM paths: set RS_PATH=%userprofile%\desktop\ set GP5_PATH=%userprofile%\desktop\Gp5\ REM Convert all files on Desktop: for /r %RS_PATH% %%f IN (*.psarc) do ( RocksmithToTab.exe -o %GP5_PATH% %%f -fgp5) I noticed, the "guessing" process of notes duration is wrong when notes duration were shortened by a "Rest" in the original GP file. It's not a big issue, but maybe it's possible to activate different guessing procedures, eventually by command line options like -g1, -g2. I also notice that some cDLC don't convert, they have to be regenerated in the Toolkit first. They are not only elder ones.

KB2993651 has been installed 28/8 but my problems must have started the 14th. Is it safe to remove a windows update when others have followed ?

I briefly tested r1296 under different compatibility settings (Win8, 7, XP) w/without administrator rights. Results on my machine are the same and worse : Every shift or ctrl click remains sticked until released by another key (cap.lock or alt because they don't execute any command) Which means every note or range of notes gets selected, by simply clicking the left mouse button.

Thanks for confirming what I mentioned in this thread. Same goes for the ctrl. This is very annoying, because you can select a whole range of notes not in view and change their position or status without realizing. To free the sticked key, I click on Cap.lock, which is neutral. I thought it may have to do with an update of Win8.1, since it started then, or compatibility settings, like administrator, but I was wrong, It starts and stops randomly

Why do I always have to click first on topics where people ask for help. :huh: In EOF you add notes as they are played after one another. Then you select them all. In the menu Note, ProGuitar, Arpeggio, you select "remark" (or ctr-shift-G). All the notes are then gathered on the first, the ones played later are "ghosted". Thus is created your arpeggio chord, and all the notes included are marked with a blue/green background. With F you can set Fingers on the chord. To change the arpeggio chord, simple reselect other notes and remark /ctrl-shift-G

I think it's usefull to add my post of the scale generator here

Wanna try some alternative stuff, something challenging with unusual chords, with finger picking ? Try Rik Emmett

This can all be done by Tags. When I tag my releases, I'm often out of ideas, so it would be fine to see some sort of recommendation help at the moment of writing tags

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Microsoft, Google, and others are any better. But they keep their system open. I'm avoiding them as can be, and I support small organizations. I'm writing here on Opera 12.16, best browser ever made. And I didn't start the PC / Mac arguing. Your conclusion to go for Mac because of Asio4all is, well lets say , sarcasm, or nonsense I made my contribution to this thread, while you still fail to inform us what wonderful soundcard and system is yours, and how much it costs to claim nobody needs Asio4all because you don't need it. You judge down Guitar Rig also, well yes, Mac, Ipad Apps, Amplitube, they all have such cute poppy designs, but Guitar Rig (you fail to describe its negative points) which I'm not using because I'm not a pro, no need to switch views, all your settings are on a front board, well yes, footpedals don't look like footpedals.

Why I don't like Apple and it's products? Because they consider users immature, on Ipads, you can't see that data files are stored in the subdirectory of the application, and if you erase the application... Peripherals are too expensive, same for cables. In fact all problems on Apple products have One solution : you pay the Cie, That's why it has become too big, such as influencing information. Don't put me on trial, read this and follow the bread crumbs to what lies beneath.

How about this picture of an A Major Scale: http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/43f1/7us5aujo42d1sjwbg.jpg?size_id=6 Looks great, isn't it. What's best its a free scale generator, where you can add other notes freely and save the generated picture. So you can change your desktop wallpaper. B) Give it a try at http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/scalegenerator/ I edited a blues scale up & down and imbed the image here http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/images/scales/gmcscale__e10000001010100_b0000001010000_g0001010100000_d0001010000000_a0101010000000_e60101000000000.jpg Going up you slide to each D Going down you slide to each A#, and after the last lower note F you replay the G I also made a colored Guitar Fret in Excel

Well I wish I could use a VSTplugin like Amplitube in Guitar Pro B) and do multitracks in Fruity loops

lay down has already been release by someone else, so I will add a multitrack version ... someday

Some month's ago, I admired people able to chart songs in Gh, Rb, and even more in RS. I thought it was out of my reach, and finally I wanted the FFP Hard to See so badly, I took the adventerous path of Cdlc creation. Now I know anybody can do it. Anybody who has the motivation to gather data about the song (tabs, lyrics, videos ...). Best to start is a song not long (about 3min.), with a clear beat, regular easy rhythm and simple 2-3 chords and no bends, slides, or other ornements (like Linkin Park) If you have Guitarpro6, you can save/export a tab with a unique tempo (bpm) as a wav song, and there you have a single track (eventually with a drum beat),where syncing is done and the bpm known (finding and adjusting the right bpm is often tedious) If you find a decent tab, it takes an evening to get it running in RS. And it's a great feeling. So why not give it a try? Personally I spend about 30 hours on a song before I feel ready to release it. A lot of time goes into finalizing (detailed syncing, fret fingering, tones, accents, bends, tech notes, structuring, adding personal notes, experimenting), which most user's won't even notice.
