Riff Repeater Possibility?

[abteen]

Hi

Riff Repeater is a great tool no doubt but in my opinion for rhythm parts mostly.

My problem is when trying to learn solo and fast lick parts it is hard for me even in very slow speed and it bores to death .

Is there any way to increase and decrease the speed on the go? pause the riff repeater without restarting the part after resume?

and mostly is there a way for riff repeater to act like lessons part? Like it wont go to the next note until you hit the correct one?

 

Thanks

That was how "Free Speed" used to work in RS1... They kind of took it out for RS2014 apparently... But it mostly worked like Accelerator anyway, it would start you off and you would play through every note and it would "calculate" your speed based on how you played the first run through then it would continue you at the assumed best practice speed until you played it (basically switching to Accelerator after.)

You can't pause the Riff Repeater. It's the biggest failure of RS2014. So you have to find ways to work around that.

 

If you're playing customs, there's a decent workaround:  open up the file in EOF and add in more sections. You can break the solos down into as many sections as you need -- they can be as short as a single measure, if you need it. This way you can get right to the parts that are giving you difficulties.

 

There's still a couple measures of lead in, but the turnaround is much faster -- you don't have to sit through 20 measures of rewinding. Once you've learned the parts, you can start to combine them into longer sections and increase speed.

 

This won't work with official DLCs of course, only with psarc files.

how Can i Do this with a CDLC?

@@abteen This is going to look like a lot, but it' sreally not that complicated. Just follow the steps.  You need the Rocksmith Toolkit and EOF to make it work.Here are the steps:Start with the toolkit:1. Choose the  unpack tab, then the psarc you want to unpack (into its own folder). In that folder, locate the audio/windows subfolder -- you'll find two .wem files.2. Now choose the OGG tab, and use the second field to convert the larger .wem file into an .ogg file -- you'll have a file labeled "*_fixed.ogg"Now launch EOF1, Choose File -> and search for the _fixed.ogg file. Give the project a name/folder.2. Set the time signature -- this will label the measures with numbers.3. Choose Song->Track and then one of the REAL tracks (the one you plan to play most). (The notes are usually on the "Amazing" or "4" tab).4. Go to File-> Rocksmith Import and navigate to the unpacked psarc's songs/arr subfolder. In there you'll find the .xml files for the different tracks. Choose the one with the appropriate label. This will place the notes on the grid.Now you'll set the sections:5. Go to File -> Preferences and choose the RS SEctions+Phrases button (in the "Top of 2D Pane shows" section). While you're at it, make sure the "Save separate Rocksmith 2 files" button is checked (you don't need RS1 files).6. You'll see the existing sections and phrases appear in the top pane of the grid. To add new sections, scroll to the measure you want and click on the top of the beat marker -- if the beat has been anchored, you'll see a number for the tempo, if it hasn't been anchored, there will only be a forward pointing arrow -- click on these and they'll be highlighted between parentheses.7. Shift-S opens the sections dialogue -- you can choose a name for the section here. You can choose the same section name multiple times (you can break a solo down into as many solo sections as you want, they'll be numbered consecutively). You can also give them entirely different names if you prefer.Choosing "Also add as RS Phrase" will make it so that all similarly labeled sections will level up at the same time. Useful if a verse or chorus section always remains the same in a song. Not necessary for solo sections, but it doesn't hurt.Choose "Specific to Part" if the smaller section isn't necessary for another part. Breaking down the solo into multiple sections isn't usually needed for a bass part, for example.

 

Go to Beat - All Events to see a list of all the sections. You can delete them if you change your mind, give them new names if you like, etc.

Getting ready to repack:You can add in the other .xml files to their tracks if you want them in the new psarc. If you have no plans to play them, they're not necessary (they'll still be in the original psarc).1. Save the file (if you haven't already).2. This will generate new .xml files for each part (REAL_Guitar is usually the lead, Real_Guitar22 is rhythm, etc.) containing notes.3. Locate the .wem files again. Rename them (give them the song's name if you like -- but they MUST have the same name, except the smaller file must be labeled with an additional _preview tag. For example: SongIWannaLearn.wem and SongIWannaLearn_preview.wemOpen the Toolkit(Note: I've never used the Packer function, so I don't know how that works)

 

1. Fill in the information on the front. Give it a different name if you want to have the original CDLC available in Rocksmith as well.

You'll find the necessary files -- including Tones, artwork (.dds) in the unpacked subfolders.2. Start with the Tones section: use the import tool, set it to XBOX360 files and locate the manifest/songs_dlc subfolder -- choose the .json file. The tone names will appear in the toolkit.3. Add the .dds file (in the album art subfolder)4. Add the larger .wem file.5. Add the arrangements --these will be in the folder you created in EOF (not in the unpacked psarc subfolders). Make sure to choose the appropriate tones for each part and label them for the appropriate path (if they're not automatically labeled).6. Save the package (because packing doesn't always work the first go).7. Click on generate: after a few seconds, the toolkit will offer to open the folder with the psarc. Take that file and place it in your DLC folder.If all went well, you should now have multiple sections in the song.Yes, it looks like a lot. The longest part will be setting the sections themselves. The rest of it is fairly straightforward. It really shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to do all of this, especially once you've done it once or twice. Well worth it for the hours of playing you'll get.Alternatively, you can contact the charter and beg him/her to add multiple sections to the file linked in the database! I think everyone should be charting with small sections -- certainly for all solos.

Heh...I'm guessing the pubs just closed over there?

Hey MVega.Thanks for your tutorial it is great. I did all the things a new xml file was created.should i replace it with the original xml? and i noticed that the new file is smaller in size about a megabyte.

thanks again

The new xml contains the sections information, so that's the one to use.
