Question on modifying an existing CDLC

[jman64]

Hi all,

There is a song I've downloaded that I'm learning, and I'm struggling with the solo portion. The song file is set up so the solo is one long section. The actual solo has two main parts, first have moderate speed/difficulty, and the second section where it kicks into high gear with a run of rapid fire notes. I'm wondering what would be the easiest way to modify this file to break the solo into at least two sections so I can work on smaller bits at a time? I assume this is possible, and that using it for personal use only wouldn't be a breach of protocol?

Thanks,

Jay

It's probably not worth it unless you already have the cdlc making tools and know how to use them since it's a fair bit of work. I'd just use rstotab and learn it the old fashioned way.

If you're dead set on it tho you'd need the rstoolkit and EOF

Import the psarc in the toolkit
Open the DDC tab and select the .xml files in the EOF sub folder of the extracted cdlc folder
Change the ramp up model to "ddc_dd_remover", tick overwrite original file and click remove dd
Open eof and click file, import rocksmith. Select the xml file you removed DD from.
Go to where you want the section, click on the the arrows at the top, press "shift + S", select solo and tick add phrase
Go to file, preferences, import/export and make sure "save separate rocksmith 2 files" is checked
Save it
Go back to the "CDLC creator" tab of the toolkit, remove the old arrangement and add the new "PART_REAL_" .xml file
Rebuild it, delete the old one and you're done.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

It is a pain but its actually not too hard to do, since all the major work in creating the song is already done. You just have to add some additional phrases in EOF and save a new version.

Who knows, maybe you'll be inspired to start creating some of your own DLC after getting all the tools setup
