so basically, nothing much new in win10, hardware related, Microsoft tries to steal lazy clients, who never change default configuration, by taking abusive measures with its OS. For 30 years now, I never paid a single $ to that corporation, and avoided its product wherever possible, without falling for the other abusive corporation and its IOS. You want to support democracy on the internet, you want independent sites like customsforge, made by people for the people, support small companies and opensource. :ph34r:

I suggest you check the power management of your USB ports. Which Windows do you use ? About your noise, maybe my thread about ground loop noise can help.

:huh: RS14 for the PS4 ? with the laggy HDMI audio output, or less laggy nevertheless laggy optical audio output? then fiddling with some jail-break tools? You better keep the cable, sell your DVD :unsure: and buy a PC version which can now be found for less then 10€ (without cable).

@@TrbInTrbIn, I agree, a cpu running at 99% for hours at 40° environment temperature will not heat if well cooled. but sometimes there isn't much choice on some laptops, on a PC, you can even install a water cool system. :lol: @@DevStereo, 4 years a same system ? Well that was definitely before win 8 :lol:

I don't agree : (with my modest 35years experience) installing my win8 then upgrading to win8.1 needs at least 3-4 hours, Cleaning the pc first time, once the right tools installed and running, (takes 1 hour), (don't buy these optimizer tools, they do more wrong than right, causing blue screens of death), takes 10 minutes every 2 weeks. Unless you know how to do it right, I won't recommend to renew the paste on the CPU, though it's true that the old paste might have been "cooked" and lost its qualities.

Overheat may occur, when a - lets say - not up to date cpu has several apps running. Specially malware can cause this, I've assisted some people in that way. It's just incredible the shit they install without their knowledge, specially these free browser toolbars don't do you any good. Check your taskbar and processes. I use Ccleaner and Spybot to keep my PC ...clean. I've stopped 25 processes in the startup-sequence ;) To check the heat I use HWinfo64, for some people my rescue came to late, they had their cpu running constantly on 90° for several days/weeks because of malware running in the background. The temperature on fast enough PC, the CPU and GPU (Graphic card) should not rise above 60° at normal environment of 20-22° (correction : my GPU heats up to 80°C, running at full speed with RS running in the background in the song selection page)

Hope they will finally fit in some video buttons to move stop play the song in Riff repeator in RS16 What a concept flaw since the stop in RS 12 (waiting for the note to be played) had been removed :angry:

The more I played RS14, the more I got annoyed by bad tones. Not tones from charters, but the tones RS14 generates on my hifi. Even official customs sound poor. :huh: Santana doesn't sound like that, neither does Eric Johnson. Amp plugins like Amplitube, Guitar Rig, Waves GTR sound so much better on this same hifi. I envied my friends here who could play RS14 with a Y-split cable connected to the guitar, to split one cable to RS14 and the other to an effect pedal and their Amp. I read about some noise in threads by @doctorz and by @Hostilian how to get rid of it, by buying more electronic stuff, costing about 40€ for 1/4" input/outputs. It didn't convince me because I had real noise in the Amp and in RS14 when connecting a Y-cable... RS even recorded noise (speakers show waves) without connecting pedals, with the Amp shut off but plugged in. I start this thread because I couldn't find the tag "ground loop noise" Thanks to youtube, someone explained that electronic stuff "fights" for the ground. The one losing this fight gets current in his ground line, which causes the noise, and is not secure. To remove this noise, one item has to be connected without ground. I happen to have an elder plug without ground, and connected the Amp. And the noise was gone.. completely ... silence, a new world opens, what a difference to play through pedals/ amp. :lol: Now, I don't know the risks, specialists warn (should anybody play RS taking a bath, or outside, or during a storm?), but if you feel uncertain, don't do it. However many electric items have non grounded plugs (three connectors) desk-lamps, videorecorders, PS2, Hifi Amps, even my TV ... And I guess it's more secure not to have ground then to have an electric current on the ground line, at least for the equipment. :huh: Looking for another solution, I found out that some power box (maybe weakly grounded) reduce the noise of the Amp. Using a laptop with battery also silenced the ground noise, strangely only with the y-cable between the Pedal and the Amp. But the final (free) solution came when I didn't listen to the specialists (again) who say all connected pieces must go into the same power box. In fact I connected the PC to an opposite wall plug and no ground noise anymore, and no risk :) And if that doesn't help, consider the Behringer HD400 Microhd 2 Channel Hum Destroyer (about 40€ or 25$ / strange currency difference :huh:)

Linkin'Park's New Divide and similar songs are very very easy

Well, the B-tuning was badly made in the toolkit, it should not be 440hz but 220hz (to fool RS into accepting B-tuning, tuning in the cdlc must be made an octave higher, (that's why you get 999) then divide the frequency), you should report the error on the charters page. Try one of my 2 FFDP customs, B-tuning is working correctly. By the way, if you have a 5 string bass, no need for special string or retune, because the lower string is standard B-tuned. Though it may be a bit confusing playing all E-standard bass starting on the 2nd string. But I got used to :)

Thanks for your humour, so rare these days. One last tip. I used Fraps before, and its captures take so much space because they are not compressed. I compressed them with Xmedia Recode, another great free opensource video converter. (that's my 700th post, so nothing is for nothing :lol: )

Ok, then, try to keep to your thread title ;) , and don't throw in other topics, most topics like wwise problems can be found elsewhere. There is also a possibility to p.m. users who may be particularly specialized on certain topics in these threads

I'd like to thank our charters, who made this before, may their work not be erased for all of us, and rest in peace on many hard-drives.

So you made me spend all MY time, to make these captures, because you didn't spend a bit of YOUR time, to write down that initial warning... No, I'm not pissed off, why did that idea cross your mind. ;) So let's finish it, give us your secret warning :lol:

To define an arpeggio you select the notes which are part of the chord to play, and which you have set on the right timing. Then you select Note-proGuitar-Arpeggio-Mark (or crtl-shift-G) Then all the notes are assembled (ghosted) on the first note to show the chord in RS ( in a box shape, which I don't like) Another way is to define a handshape (Note-Rocksmith-Handshape-mark) works the same way, but doesn't show the chord box, but the finger position on the fretboard. Sometimes a chord is slowly strummed, kind of arpeggio, playing one string after another. http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/59a6/91efvk0au087wz7zg.jpg That's what you mean. Position the notes in the right timing. This can also be defined this 2 ways.

These are mainly chromatic scales, with different sequences This may increase dexterity, but not music knowledge. Quite boring, robotic. It doesn't help ear training and remembering scales and their notes. With only 2 scales (a major & pentatonic minor) at the end, with a simple linear sequence. So it stops just when the fun begins. :(

Nice to read I'm not alone surviving half a century, and still be a Freebird with a young heart. B) I started guitar at 25, but then, schools offered me mainly "Deutsche Volkslieder" and that made me throw my acoustic in the attic. Youngsters, you don't know how lucky you are with all those youtube tutorials (Pebber Brown, Jim Bowley, TheGuitarNick...) and software like RS. But why is it that learning gets tougher with aging. It's about unused neurons ! At about the age of 12, if they didn't make connections with others (synapses), they feel useless and die. By millions, every year. :( That's why the best age to start music is at 6 to 12 ( as well as soccer and other sports, requiring coordination of movement). The basic chords I learned as a twen, I've never lost them, even though I didn't play for 20years. What you learn even younger, will not be lost, after some training, former level is achieved quickly. But it's hard to get better. I never learned scales, and that's tough now, but a lot of fun, rewarding for the slightest progresses. RS12 Scale runner is fun, but too linear and notes get not well detected on higher frets. I currently stumbled upon Free Online Guitar Software, may be interesting, if someone knows a good scale trainer let me know. ;)

Too all Buckethead fans, this weekend on Bandcam. "Pikes 1-146 are on sale now in the download store for $2 each. Sale ends Sunday, July 5th." Time to take up his trail, I know it's tough :lol:

OBS was the only software that worked fine straight away. Nothing to config except the Global Sources. For RS don't select a micro anywhere, as RS takes exclusive control of the micro. OBS may record more than 2 sources, Game and Camera, as much as you want to define, and place/size them as you want It should be possible to record several partial screens of RS, and place them where you want. It uses plugins, with enhanced potential. It also supports recording RS with Shadowplay.

check up my definition back here of what a good cDLC is to result in good playability. You may add your criteria. For now, my best criteria for downloading are the following : 1. Magna Charter's, with whom I've had a constructive exchange. 2. Rate of releases : there is no way to release 10 cDLC every week, and certainly not for beginners 3. A version 1.01 to 3.0 which means the charter cares about updates 4. A version 1.00 with no comments No news = good news = at least a decent cDLC. :D

I'm recording with OBS configured with a standard Realtek digital output, microphone disabled, RS records the RS cable input (on which it has exclusive access) and then plays it through its (simulated) amps, and that output is recorded with the music.

This is a topic I'm currently interested in. Unless you have some real music education, which I've not, it's very tedious to do a custom without a tab. Writing a GP5 tab is infinitely more work than doing a cDLC. Those who do tabs, often in teams, have my deepest respect. By the way, GP5 can also import Powertabs, and text tabs, latter with a lot of timing errors, and mostly incomplete. EOF's playback of notes is very basic and not very precise, There is a tool, which allows you to export EOF tabs back to GP5, to listen what you have built. To get a good conversion, a difficult starting point is always the beatmap. The notes must respect the rhythm, to remain playable. That's the n°1 mistake of beginners. First you should do some short easy cDLC, with a GP5, to learn all the possibilities and issues in EOF. A single acoustic instrument track is perfect to start with, because the wave form you see is the instrument. Good luck if you like to jump straight into waves with multiple instruments to detect chords and notes. But maybe you have the cash to work with Sony SpectraLayers to separate the instruments. :lol:

It's such an enormous relief to have all those unwanted tracks removed. (this sigur goggle drove me mad) Endless Thanks. :) I have to report a tiny bug : sorting on the "Select" column results in an error message "Object must be of type String" Happens in "Sng Pack Mod", select a few songs (1st column) and then sort on this column.
