Rocksmith 2014 Has Destroyed Me

I've never learned a whole song from beginning to end. Just always got bored or something I guess. So I got Rocksmith to fix that... And it has BROKEN me!...

Rocksmith 2014 Has Destroyed Me

EZ.... im pretty sure that if you had a M-audio FastTrack or something that converts your guitar signal to USB... you can get this app going without the Real Tone Cable just saying

According to online reports you HAVE to have the cable. I have an audio interface but apparently it won't work. They say the cable acts as DRM on the software.

Like with everything in life, there's a crack for that. You can use any audio interface that you would usually use to record your instrument.

Yeah but there's also the matter of my steam account being banned which will be a sadness.

And that can only be regarded as a good thing!

Awesome!

I must say...

The riff repeater is an awesome little tool. It automatically increases speed as you hit more notes. It automatically loops the riff you're trying to improve on and you can change the "difficulty" of the section you're trying to learn based on your own skill-level.

And that's just ONE tool in this awesome little game.

Lowkey

The only thing I wish they would change is guitararcade. The difficulty jumps up to quickly for me as absolute beginner.
Ideally I want to be able to play each guitarcade games for about 15min.

I also feel like they include some difficult stuff to quickly like palm muting which I struggle with a lot. The inclusion of some really basic song would have been nice.

I would however recommend the following DLC as they are just awesome

1. Shamrock Song Pack
2. Tom Petty Song Pack
3. Bachsmith (classical stuff) but it's awesome ?

Almost forgot pick direction (up or down) would have been awesome and perhaps even note names

NorioDS

Yeah, I have to agree! Note names while learning a song would have been awesome.

And/or a game that helps you learn the notes would have been great, too.

Rocksmith 2014 is on Special at GetGames for $23.99 (Down from $59.99). Got it and ordered the cable from TakeAlot. Will see how it goes.

NorioDS

Awesome! Let us know your experiences with it.

I only allow myself to play when I've done all my work which, this week, has meant no play time :'(

Vikster

Woohoo! I just heard I am getting one for my birthday; but I have to wait to the end of the month. >☹

NorioDS

Haha! Awesome, mate. Let us know what you think once you've given it a bit of a spin.

ezietsman

Got ma cable. Game is downloaded. Now where is hometime?

Lowkey

Just as an FYI for the guys that don't want or can't afford DLC

http://customsforge.com/

Has free DLC, to get customforge dlc to work you do need to tamper with your game a little but they do have alot of DLC.

I personally have two installation of Rocksmith 2014 one cracked to allow access to customforge dlc and one normal as I've bought alot of DLC

NorioDS

Haha, congrats ez!

I spent 2 hours playing yesterday. Those GuitarCade games are really cool. They really help you improve certain techniques.

Just for a challenge, I tried the beginning of Satch Boogie at 1% speed but 100% difficulty.

HOLY CRAP! That was hard.

But with a bit of practise, I think I could get that riff down and then move on to the next. Exciting stuff!

ezietsman

Ja, I'm quite keen on this. I'm also quite keen to try the multiplayer option with the Miss on bass. We'll need another cable. Could make for some fun evenings drinking and jamming some cheezy songs* haha.

*starts looking at the DLC already

NorioDS

Oh yeah, totally with you. If only I can get my missus to start playing bass. She's more into piano.

(I'd love something like Rocksmith for Piano! ? Would probably need a serious microphone or an electric piano DI'ed into a laptop or something. Don't think we'll see that one any time soon.)

Lowkey

Perhaps check out songs2see on steam not a game like Rocksmith but I suppose it could be usefull.

ezietsman

Yeah OK. This game rocks. Really. I think we'll buy a second cable for multiplayer and there is another cheapshark reminder for when it goes on special again. Wish I had tried this a year ago.

I had to play around with the .ini file to get the latency to be reasonably low.
