I followed the tutorial by Darjusz, and after starting my cdlc in Rocksmith 2014, it starts, and then after about 3 seconds ends. No notes show up on screen whatsoever and no audio plays (although in riff repeater difficulty can be adjusted and all notes show up there, except after playing through the phrase with no audio or actual moving notes they disappear and the phrase does not automatically restart)  I'm not sure what was done wrong and any help would be appreciated

I just found the actual pinned tutorial, any insight would be awesome still but i'm more than likely going to run through it all again with that tutorial tomorrow

That tutorial tells you how to convert the wav files to wem files.

 

I suggest you don't do that; let the toolkit do it for you.

 

Delete your wem and preview wem files.  When using the toolkit, use the wav file EOF created for you.

In the tookit configuration tab, make sure you are set to the wwise directory.

 

If you still have problems, this version of wwise is confirmed working:

Don't forget to use the latest version of EOF and it's hotfix.

Use the latest TEST build of the toolkit.

 

Also, you are able to play other customs, right?

I am able to play other customs, i'll give using the toolkit to convert audio a shot.
