2.4Ghz Wireless Headphones

Seen a few reports that using wireless headphones that support 2.4ghz connectivity is a great way to eliminate latency. My understanding was the game just doesn’t work with any Bluetooth headphones whatsoever, are these reports fake, real or just a fluke?

I’d ideally love to be able to play wireless (as I’m sure we all do) but not wanting to waste money on a new set of headphones only for them not to work

Several problems with Rocksmith

I really want to play Rocksmith as an alternative to just learning tabs, interactivity of that game would make me learn much faster then just some numbers on paper/screen. But there are some problems.

First of all, 2014 version is delisted as well as OG, so there's no way to play those legally. Secondly, there's almost no way to get an original Real Tone Cable for me (too rare and expensive). And lastly, I can't even legally pay a subscription to play the latest one as it's not available in my country.

So, what should I do? Try out Slopsmith? I'm not much of a power user to work out git, bash and other things (and probably some parts of those are blocked here so I can't even do anything about it). Or is there a way to make RS ASIO work somehow? (I don't really understand why would they still check the license when there's no way to buy this game anymore).

No cable is not really working no matter what settings I try, sound is really distorted, the game doesn't even understand what sound the guitar makes (jumping from +999 to -453 to +999 while it's already tuned). Though it might be due to me using an adapter jack to mini-jack, I'll try a new cable instead in a few days.

Thanks in advance! (and sorry for both bad English) (also hope the tag is right)

Omg Rocksmith + is awful

Probably going to get downvoted/annoy people posting this but whatever I'm frustrated. Learned guitar through Rocksmith 2014 and a little bit of yousician when I was 17 years old and played the shit out of it until I was fairly decent and 100% most of the main catalogue, and I was aching to go back to it recently. Decided to purchase a 1 month subscription via steam to try it, and personally I liked that there was a lot of killing joke/cure/joy division/clash songs on it. To my surprise, I find out that the real tone cables rn are selling for 100+ dollars, but that there's an app that uses your phones mic to pick up sound and it's dogshit. It cannot pick up note sustains or vibrato/bends when I'm basically playing perfectly, and why the fuck do I need an app? Yousician uses my computer mic just fine whether I use my electric or acoustic and picks up everything I play every time I have decided to use that app. Why in the fuck is this such an issue for Rocksmith? Probably the single worst guitar related product I have ever bought, and I've bought some shitty berringer pedals before.

Is it really so much to ask for functional note detection via my computer mic (or hell even an app that isn't shit) without having to buy a $100 used real tone cable or using an audio interface?

I've been building a browser-based guitar practice platform

I've been working on a browser-based guitar practice platform that was heavily inspired by the idea of getting real-time feedback while practicing.

One feature I think some Rocksmith players might enjoy is that you can upload any Guitar Pro file and practice it directly in your browser with real-time note/pitch detection. No need to recreate songs or wait for official arrangements you can just load a GP file and start playing while the website listens to your guitar.

The project originally started because I wanted a better way to actually see my progress instead of feeling like I was practicing without improving. Over time it has grown into a much bigger platform.

Some of the current features include:

  • 144 built-in exercises
  • Real-time note & pitch detection
  • Upload and practice any Guitar Pro file
  • Skill progression and practice paths
  • Practice analytics, streaks and heatmaps
  • Community song difficulty ratings
  • Personal learning queue
  • Technique, theory and ear training exercises
  • Custom practice plans and exercises
  • A few fun gamification features like collectible guitars

It's completely free and I'd say it's currently in an open beta. I'm constantly adding new features based on feedback from guitar players.

I'd genuinely love to hear what you think—what works well, what doesn't, and what you'd like to see added.

Rocksmith on MacOS Tahoe in 2026?

I recently started playing Rocksmith+ on my iPad, and regardless of the limited song library and general hate around it, I had a nice time to be honest. It was a pretty smooth experience connecting my guitar through my focusrite scarlett. The only problem I have is that playing rocksmith on my ipad just feels "off". It gets laggy, the notes sometimes don't get registered, and who in their right mind decided not to build a mac version before an ipados version?

I was optimistic about slopsmith and wanted to try it out but it seems ubisoft being ubisoft issued a DMCA against it and it isn't available anymore. Has anyone had success running a working version of RC+ or RC2014 on MacOS Tahoe (I'm on Tahoe 26.5 at the moment)?

Does anyone have an actual fix for the audio delay?

So, I've been using Rocksmith for awhile and for some reason, I can never seem to get the audio coming out of my TV/sound bar to match when I hit the strings on my guitar. I have done different steps that I've seen talk about. I adjust the audio lag but it just doesn't sync up, no matter what number you use. I've changed the output to AV amplifier, with 2 ch output. It has helped a little but it still doesn't sound like playing through an amp, where it is in real time. Has anyone gotten it to match up perfectly? What were the settings and path you used?

Bringing guitar to mixed reality made playing much more fun. I spend hours practicing songs, exploring scales, and doing exercises until I have to recharge my headset.

Rocksmith+ on mobile totally distorted

Hi, I have connected my trusty UMC202HD to my phone and tried to play some Rs, but the audio is unbearably distorted.

The phone and interface seem to do fine on their own, I can listen to music, talk over a microphone, call people, etc. without an issue. However, the moment I open up rocksmith everything gets distorted to hell and back.

I tried looking for help, but everyone is troublesho their PCs, not phones, so... any ideas?

Need assistance w fiancés bday gift

Hey am sorry if this is annoying or frequently asked, I’m trying to get rocksmith again for my fiancé for his ps5 and I’m noticing that the cord is like $100 is that really my only option or is there a more affordable solution? I saw an old thread here from like 4 years ago that said it was the only option but I’m hoping that’s not the case anymore. Any advice would be appreciated!

The Fee(dB)ack name sucks

Addressing the Slopsmith rename:

Am i the only one who thinks the name FeedBack sucks? Obviously it needs a better name than slopsmith, but feedback only won the renaming vote because the other 3 were complete shit. like “Clonesmith” and other reused bs. Believe me I understand the intended references in the name, but those references are so weak. what does “sound feedback” or “dB” actually have to do with a guitar rhythm game other than being generally associated with music. It doesn’t convey what the project is at all. It Ironically makes Rocksmith sound so clever in comparison. FeedBack sounds like an EQ plugin, not a full open source instrument visualizing game. As someone who’s contributed quite a bit to the project, I’m really hoping the community rethinks this before moving too far forward. Not only do I think the name will hold back its initial appeal to new users, but it also just isn’t as cool sounding to me as some people are claiming. Thanks for listening to my rant.

It sucks because “RythmForge” was right there. Which pays homage to the community based CustomsForge and actually conveys what the project is. “Fee(dB)ack” is cool but could apply to any music related branding or product.

does anyone else have a warmup song or two that is usually the first thing they play when they boot up the game?

i usually go through the black flag main theme and desolate motion to get the vibes for the session. black flag theme is short and fun, plus i feel like it gets my fingers on my left hand moving good. i enjoy desolate motion because its simple pentatonic structure allows the trickier techniques to be a little easier to access.

what about y'all? any songs that are a go-to at the beginning of the session?

Rocksmith 2014 remaster on Mac??

I have recently gotten back into Rocksmith on my Xbox Series S, but the audio latency is almost too much to bear. I wanted to attempt to put Rocksmith on my Mac so that I could try out some CDLC and hopefully fix the latency issue, but I have read that the newest update took away Mac support. I just would like to know if there are any workarounds or fixes to be able to get this working on my MacBook running Sonoma 14.6.1.

The (Lost Media) ASIO Drivers of BEHRINGER for Audio Interfaces

Guys i found the asio drivers for my behringer umc22 lost in my pendrive and i found out IS NOT IN THE OFFICIAL SITE ANYMORE, i just believe they wanna gain some money selling new product by not disponibilizing the Drivers for use in Rocksmith and other things, when you search, the internet just says:

"The Behringer UMC22 dont have Dedicated Drivers"

AND THEY HAVE!
I searched for all the internet and i just do not have founded, but now i have, i strictly believe it is a Lost Media, then,

Download it NOW in my drive, LINK BELOW:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_HjUd9-Sp2dVmItN_9I28ZCFIsumLo-7?usp=drive_link

Important Note incase your load bar is not running 100% and then drop an Error Note
(like mine was doing):

Unplug your Audio Device while the bar is loading and then plug it again
or
Plug your Audio Device while the bar is loading and then it will run fast and succeed

And a important message from the guy who helped me all along with that
(Connect my Guitar to Rocksmith 2014 Remastered):

"usually it all comes down to having the right settings in the Rocksmith files, as well as making sure the PC's audio is set to 48 kHz and that all the buffer sizes are set to the same value".

HARDWARE Support:

-------------------

UMA25S, UCA200*, UCA202, UCA222, UMC22, UFO202, UCG102, iAXE393/624/629 and many more.

I’m building a game to teach you the fretboard. Looking for a few Rocksmith players to test and share some thoughts

Hey everyone, I’ve been teaching guitar for over 20 years and have been building interactive guitar courses for my students for over a decade now at stringkick.com.

Lately, I’ve been developing an entirely new thing that’s closer towards an actual game. So I’d love to get some feedback from guitarists who already use games to improve. Which is why I’m looking for some Rocksmith players to check it out.

It’s a learning path that teaches you all the fretboard notes in a few weeks, with about 10 minutes of practice a day. You beat levels of increasing difficulty until you’ve covered the entire fretboard.

It’s web based, so you can play on any device and works with mic detection, so you can use your guitar to beat the levels.

Two specific questions:

- I don’t have a Real Tone cable myself, so if you do, I’d love to know if the note recognition works with that too.

- I know Rocksmith used to have mini games for theory topics, but removed them. If you played that, does this scratch that itch at all, or was it really different?

That’s all, let me know if you’d like to be a tester!
