In my case, Ive gotten platinum for Red House (lead) and The wind cries Mary.

I'm asking because earning a Platinum Badge is an important part of my "learn-to-play-guitar" methodology.

 

However, sometimes I feel that some Jimi Hendrix songs are IMPOSSIBLE to get a Platinum Badge? For example Castles made of Sand, at the begining and the end has chord slide recognition problems.

 

I know for a fact that Little Wing can be platinated, because I saw a video of someone doing it. Which other Jimi Hendrix songs, (from original dlc or the ones in customs forge) do you think CAN'T be Platinated (For reasons that are outside of our control) ???

I think I once read from halsb (who is the best player I know) that there are official songs he doesn't try to get platinum on because it's impossible due to detection issues. On the other hand, I’ve heard him recommend techniques to "ease" the detection of chord slides, which he says is one of the worst implemented features in the game.

 

Regarding custom songs, I believe iminashi (the creator of DLC Builder) has done quite a bit of research on these issues, and his program fixes some of the detection errors when they result from poor implementation by the track creator (but not those that are inherent problems of the game itself). For example, frets beyond the 21st? have many detection issues, so it's officially recommended to make those notes auto-detect. It's possible that some of the customs you're using have issues that could be fixed if you adjust them with DLC Builder.

Interesting!!! Yeah Im familiar with Halsb. So how can you make the notes auto-detect with the DLC Builder? Where exactly do you do this?

in eof specifically we tag all notes above 21st or  problem notes  like  pinch harmonics or stuff thats tooo crazy with the ignore tag, and so rocksmith just ignores it and says its detected.  This is mostly up to the charters discretion.  

 

That's right, it's not that with DLC Builder you can manually fix a song; you need to do that with Editor On Fire (EOF). What DLC Builder offers are a few automated corrections that can be generalized to any song. I believe both examples that Hikikomori provided are included in those automatic fixes.

All you need to do is, within DLC Builder, make sure that the 'Apply improvements' option is enabled in 'Configuration -> Build'. Then, you import the .psarc file you want to fix (Ctrl+E), and simply by clicking on 'Finish Editing', the improvements will be applied. If you want to know if any changes have been made, in the 'Arrangements' section, the button to the right of the '+' is called 'Validate arrangements', which enables red and green checks. When a red cross appears, you can click on it in 'Issues' to see the 'problems' that remain to be solved in EOF. If you compare the list of issues before and after clicking 'Finish Editing', you can see what problems have been resolved.

Keep in mind that most items on the problem list will not be related to note detection issues. Some are even just suggestions to ensure we all follow the official style for making charts.
