I tried the RSMODs / RSMODS plus thing and I get really noticeable latency.

Any pointers?

Are you using the cable multitone or RS ASIO engine or Speaker mode? for me using RS ASIO on scarlett 2i2 there is no noticeable latency

Issues (from RSModsPlus github)

Drop Pedal and Speaker Mode problems go on this repository, not on upstream's tracker. These features aren't theirs to support.

A bug in an inherited RSMods feature that reproduces on a stock upstream build belongs upstream.

A debug log is written to RSMods_debug.txt beside Rocksmith2014.exe. It is overwritten on every launch and locked while the game runs, so quit before copying it. Attaching it makes a bug report far easier to act on.

PLAY STREAKS

@cacahuate51 is on a 135-week active play streak (their longest streak yet). Their first week was Week 442 and they have played a total of 212 weeks!

Keep it up!! 👏

They say gardening is like meditation, so I was looking forward to staying relaxed and posting some good scores tonight. But after trimming some rose bushes, I've got cramps in my right hand that held the clippers and thorns in my left fingertips that held the rose stems. Just as every night has its dawn...

Just some tiny improvements playing with cramps and tiny blood droplets, not trying anything harder until tomorrow.

Much appreciation to @drand for the detailed installation instructions for RSModsPlus pitch shifter - and for the interesting and inspiring player stats. I play Rocksmith on a Mac, but I do have a Windows gaming machine and now I'm tempted to install Rocksmith there just to use the pitch shifter. But I always mess up all my Windows installations - a Mac makes life so much easier in every way - so I'm procrastinating...

Happy Friday everyone! 😊 Only one day left to join this week's Championship ⏰

my next list of songs to play
we are getting there slowly

some bangers on here

Improvements

It's a difficult chart (basically the final solo), and CDLC isn't the best quality, so I'm happy with 90%.

Bass

It's a bit of a soporific chart, but that's the role of bass sometimes. Of course, a random miss had to happen at the end 😅

In my opinion this is a bit more difficult than 5, but mainly because of the chart where, for example, instead of blue 2, we have to quickly jump to yellow 7.

Every path in this song has a fun chart, a little less than 6 for me.

A bit of a crazy chart, but 7.5 looks ok.

I've got this same song in all of my categories this week. Slight improvement here:

Finally managed to play the harder rhythm chart without a strike:

Maybe I'll come back to the bass chart, pretty brutal competition for the high score...

yes an ongoing project to play every championship song, up to and one above my level, I started at week 44 ,
I joined at 400 I believe, so will be playing until then and I missed a few week after that which I wrote down somewhere .

i still hate tapping and sweeping but kinda starting to enjoy tapping and sweeping 😅
