Have a nice 2017! Love you all!

Need more and more practice here.

Very fast for me, some score:

Awesome to play this song, nice tune:

I'm sure I'm still having note recognition issues with my patched up cable.  I was convinced I hit every note on the Volbeat song, but alas, Rocksmith said "no", and my score was worse than yesteday's.

 

Anyway, I lowered the input settings, re-calibrated and tried the Metric::

Then moved on to the Dead Kennedys:

I don't think I can blame my cable for that, but I am coming for you, @@Rodman!

 

P.S.  Did I say how much I liked the song selections this week? :D

Sorry for AFKing this week, my computer problems are slowly getting worse. For the past couple weeks, when I play RS on my jerryrigged fossil of a machine, it won`t just lag and drop my accuracy - it will also crash the amp every 2-4 plays! :sweat: So go figure, I`m mostly getting my guitar fix on my acoustic lately.

 

Might throw up a score just so I don`t lose diehard, but until I get the last piece of my new machine, don`t expect much in the way of competition from me.  :lol:

Just dropping another steaming pile in the bass master class clubhouse and running away...

 

Party at Ground Zero, 95%

 

Smell that FreeBird police

 

@@The Postman wrong Metric tune :)

 

 

Pfft. I know, I just wanted to see if you knew :)

 

I thought I had downloaded the song and only remembered it was by Metric, so I played what I found  :P

Finally beat that 99% mark.

Traditional video with my try to get higher. 

Could you image I made pull-offs wrong all the time before! Wrong! Ho-ho.

OK. I know it sounds not so good. As usual =) Most of the parts are with mistakes. I'm tired and can't replay it right now.

I also have a try with 99.1% but with low streak =)

 

You can ask me why I'm doing all those videos with terrible sound and ears pain. I'm recording it again and again. Do more and more tries. I'm doing it to play better. Because "that video can watch anyone. anyone of my friends here. I don't want to make 'em suffer and facepalm completely because of my video."

Yay!  At least I know my cable is working:

And sorry, @@Rodman...

:lol:  :lol:  :lol:

 

I don't know why I'm laughing - you've already threatened 100% in this...

 

I really don't know how I got 90% in this:

Definitely needs more practice, but I think I'm out of time. :(

 

....Does anyone know how to test the Hercules card in the Realtone cable?  (With the two cables I've had, in three years, I've had to replace the jack ends on both, I've had one apparent breakage at the USB end, and I do believe I've now got a problem with the Hercules card on one...)

 

 

The first cable I bought was used and only lasted a few months before failing. I'm an electrical tech (as opposed to electronic) so decided to crack open the box looking for any obvious issues.....after checking out the board and the 'do dads' soldered to it, I quickly threw it in the bin. Needless to say i had NFI what was going on in that box.

 

The best thing you can do to prevent potential Realtone cable issues is to use an amp with RS. I run a standard cable from guitar to a Radial Big Shot ABY splitter. One output of the splitter goes to the amp, the other is the Realtone cable to PC. The plus to this is that the Realtone cable is never moved.

I'm currently using a basic Y-splitter cable to carry the signal to my amp and to my Mac via the Realtone cable.  Unfortunately, because I move around a fair bit for work, the Realtone cable gets transported along with the rest of my kit.  It's in moving form one place to another that it's stopped working completely. :(

 

Anyway, on the plus side, I've managed to "fix" my old broken cable, and I've got a lovely new ABY box coming in the post next week...

good night

I know we're supposed to try new things...but I think I've had enough of this one.

Happy New Year to all!

First time entering, beginner bass!

Ah there we go.  BEG Lead: 100% Streak 120, 887,745 score.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=836493511

 

and for fun Beg Rhythm 98.57% streak 229/838,892 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=836506047

Just when I thought I got a less worse score on Party at Ground Zero. I noticed that I got leveled down in a part whereI have no difficulty- Grrrr.  So here is my inadmissable score of 96%.  But then again.  I'm a FreeBird, so who cares.
