How tocreate basic riffs over click track?

[kevb]

Hi all,

 

I'm using RS12 and want to create some basic practice rhythm riffs over a click track to play along to. I've had a look through the tutorials, but they all seem to be focused on converting an existing song.

 

Could someone point me in the right direction as a start point please?

 

Thanks

Type "exercise" into search and you'll get a nice selection of things already made.  Otherwise, you've got to chart your own notes.

Thanks for that, as I said I'm using RS12, and I'm happy to chart my own notes but just need some pointers on how to do that and then get the notes to show up with a click track backing

Just to get started:

 

You can create your riffs in guitar pro and import them into the program EOF.  EOF needs an audio file first before you can do anything.  You can create a click track in audacity (Generate - Click Track - Export to OGG), or you can you use an silent audio file (Generate - Silence).  If you use a silent audio file you can add a click track using the Rocksmith Toolkit.

 

If you don't wanna use guitar pro you can enter your riffs directly into EOF.  Make sure you click Song- Track - PartRealGuitar22. If preferences (F11) - input mode - piano roll are set to Classic Mode you drop notes on the fretboard by right clicking on the string and pressing F to enter the fret number.  There's a lot more to shortcuts and stuff so just click help for more info.

 

That's just how to create the chart.  How to pack everything into Rocksmith 1 I don't remember :( because everyone's moved on to 2014.

Packing was almost the same for RS1, except the audio files needed to use an older version of Wwise and audio preview files weren't needed.

 

Mostly it's just fill in the boxes of the toolkit for whatever it's asking and press generate.
