Hello everyone,
I'd like to share how to bring the RS2014 built-in songs to the L&P ("Learn & Play") version. But first things first - this post is probably borderline within the rules, but imo it's still within them: besides the L&P, I own the PS4 version and I bought a bunch of Ubisoft's RS cables (even though I used other means via RS_ASIO), so I paid my fair share to the developers and I feel that practicing the original songs on the PC is fair with them. The target audience of my post are people in a similar situation. In case you view it differently, feel free to delete the post, but please don't ban me, I'm acting here in good faith (remember to keep the faith).
Now, if you own neither the original RS2014 nor the console version, then stop here and buy the console version to be fair with the developers.
At this point I assume you have the "songs.psarc" file from the original RS2014 version's installation directory (I am not going to break the rules by sharing it).
MAJOR DISCLAIMER FIRST
The method is not perfect:
To summarize: the resulting songs are playable, but not exactly the same as the original ones.
An important note: the use Rocksmith Toolkit is not accidental; my first approach was with DLC Builder, but I found it pretty aggressive (not allowing to build some songs without removal of some notes), so I went with Rocksmith Toolkit instead (tbh I didn't check if it doesn't remove any notes silently, but if it does, then at the very least without any "ERROR: FIX THE ARRANGEMENT" complaints; I simply assumed it doesn't - you know, being an older tool and all).
THE MANUAL METHOD
This method has two major drawbacks:
if any of these is an issue for you, you can find an automated approach in the next section.
THE AUTOMATED APPROACH
Before jumping into the automation, some more disclaimers:
To the method itself:
Some notes:
TWO FINAL NOTES
01. copy the resulting psarc files to Rocksmith's dlc directory (most likely C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rocksmith2014\dlc)
10. enjoy!
That's all folks!
