Hello,

 

I was wondering if anyone had some insight to share with me about an issue i'm having with guitar sound.

 

First off i'll just give some background info. This is the first time i have had this problem. The game picks up the sound okay. I'm not missing notes that I'm playing but the guitar track in game is very quiet. So if there is a song where there is no guitar playing and little noise and I play notes I can hardly hear/can't hear my guitar and I have been able to do that before. I have tried checking all cable connections and restarting the game and restoring game options back to default settings. also played with the cable gain as well and that hasn't worked.

 

And Info on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. 

Well, if it is a custom, it could be that the tone volume was set kind of low during the build. BUT you can pause the game and turn everything else down and the balance will be better. I know it's a pain but sometimes you may need to do that.

@@Attitude Okay I can give that a shot. When I noticed this it was on a song that I had previously not had this issue. Thank you for the advice

Also, be sure to check your recording devices settings. Using the .dll file resets the recording lvl of the cable to 17. 

I've had this problem 3 times.  Don't know if it applies to you, but here it is anyways:

 

First Time my cable went bad.

 

Second time I had to fiddle with the sound settings in windows control panel.  But a (December?) patch should have fixed that.

 

Third time I had to change the battery in my guitar (active pickups).

Interesting I just checked my RS cable volume is in fact set to 17,, and works just fine for me that way.

Jon if you happen to play a CDLC that has no tone created, there's a bug that will shut your tone down until you restart Rocksmith. It can be very frustrating. If you can figure what songs do this I would suggest checking if there is an update since you last downloaded it. If not I would delete it because they are worthless.

This is a Rocksmith/Ubisoft bug. The game will always reset the Windows control panel to 17. The workaround for this is to alt-tab back into windows, slide the volume up as high as you need it, then alt-tab back into Rocksmith. The bug was supposed to have been fixed with the December patch, but it apparently didn't take.

For me Rocksmith sets the recording volume to 70 instead of 17 automatically. Maybe that's because I play the bass?

I have this problem with ever song. My guitar volume is way too quite and been looking for a fix. The sound settings in windows is set to 80 for my Real Tone Cable. Has anyone found a fix? I have an Ibanez Gio guitar.

Increase your gain in the real tone cable settings in ricksmith in the settings menu

What setting should it be on? I've never checked mine...

Yeah what should it be on? Or maybe the height of my strings or pickups need adjusted. Wouldn't hurt to do a intonation tuning.

Sorry for stating the obvious but...  no one seems to have mentioned calibration.

 

In the tuner hit return (or the Enter key if you wanna call it that) and it takes you to the calibraiton screen.

 

 

Definitely worth a shot :D
