In case you have Rocksmith 2014 (Rocksmith+ s#cks!): you’ll need either the sh#tty Real Tone Cable and your set.
Or you install rs_asio in addition to Rocksmith and have one of these audio interfaces: GitHub - mdias/rs_asio: ASIO for Rocksmith 2014
Focusrite is on the list, so you’re good to go.
Please note that it will be harder and harder to get the official Rocksmith 2014 and its track as Ubisoft really wants to sell the mediocre Rocksmith+ and the rights to the tracks slowly expire. If you own them you own them though.
Getting alternative tracks via Ignitionsearch is described in the original post above.
You need to patch Rocksmith 2014 to use those tracks though. I haven’t done that as I switched to Tonelib Jam (there is a free trial) and never looked back!
You know, I wonder if this is most of the problem, and the software simply cannot handle lead-ins (i.e. it thinks the start of the recording is the start of the song, instead of the first actual beat.) And then it just generates these extreme hot-takes in some cases due to that.
This is a song where the length of the songster tab did not match the actual song length.
So, I went along and used GoPlayalong to synch tabs/audio and then used the CustomsForge tools to create a PSARC. I imported this to ToneLib Jam - and this is the resulting video.
They might complain about things BUT for playing along the video is just fine. Every note pops up where it should be - and this is what matters for beginners, right?
Song: Siamese Twins
Artist: The Cure
Tuning: standard EADG - but only using the E and A string. It sounds better and you can sliiiiiiiiideeeeeeeee!
Source: Songster
Both versions are a little bit different than how I was playing it, although all 3 versions seem to capture the spirit of the song well enough that I’ll probably work on all 3 so that I can play around with things like adding in sliiiides!. Both of these found my missing notes, that 5-3-2 about 2/3’s of the way through was just a 5-5-5. I probably wouldn’t have noticed if it weren’t for the fact that I’ve been listening to this song for over 40 years. Thank you, I really appreciate the time and effort you put into making them and I’ll work on it some more tonight. This is the first whole song I’ve gotten down, and after doing almost nothing but B2B for the past 3 weeks, it’s a really fun break to play something I know and love.
The notes do not pop up where they should be - some sort of note pops up, but it is often not correct.
This tab version is a fine beginning version and if it is satisfying to play to, great. Go for it.
I hope that it isn’t considered complaining to point out inaccuracies?
You leave me in a difficult place. I do not have the time or inclination to correct these mistakes and publish a correct tab for Siamese Twins.
Neither do you.
My decision is to not publish a tab at all, as I can’t do it justice.
Your decision is to publish inaccurate tabs that you do not vet or correct.
Nonono - finding issues is the only way to correct them Otherwise I wouldn’t shine the bat signal
Yeah - I think it’s better to have something to play to and enjoy it, even if it’s formally not 100% correct.
The issue is with Songster and CustomsForge files, not original Rocksmith.
I hope that some people post correct tabs, so I can integrate them in the videos!
To be completely honest with you , I found these a bit difficult at first. The videos were almost too busy for my little pea brain to comprehend. But the more I watch , the clearer they have become.
I have no idea how long these videos take you to build but wanted to say thank you. Really appreciate all the efforts and for building all these songs for this Bad A$$ community.
