Hello Rocksmith fans!
Rocksmith wants your feedback on the future of their DLC content, not as in what bands/artists you want. For that, we use THE REQUEST APP!
What follows is a post from Community Manager, @UbiParadise:
Hi all,
We’d like your help! Can you answer three quick questions for us? We have a quick survey that will help us with our DLC moving forward.
We appreciate your feedback! Thank you!
-The Rocksmith 2014 Team
Due to confusion regarding the first question @DanAmrich clarified:
1. There are some highly requested songs which are currently unable to function in Rocksmith 2014 due to their tunings. Would you be interested in buying DLC with adjusted tunings even if it isn’t exactly the same as the original song?
For the record, we’re not talking about pitch-shifting entire songs — like, if a song is in C, we are not talking about shifting it up to E Standard. The original recording will still be the original recording and, outside of a small window of correction (say, A445 down to A440, which we usually can do now but did not always have the permission to do in the past), we are not looking to shift things wholesale. Seems to be some questions about that, here and elsewhere.
This is about changing the tuning of your guitar, not the tuning of the recording. These would be arrangements that would not be what you (or we) are seeing the artists play, but in a tuning that would work better for the game’s note detection. That’s definitely not a small change, so that’s why we wanted to ask how people felt about it. We know that some people really value insight into exactly where the artists are putting their fingers on the fretboard, and some people just want to learn how to play their favorite songs, regardless of other factors. Nothing is decided and there is no wrong answer to the poll — but it’s worth clarifying what we were trying to ask.
There you have it, please take the time to fill out the quick survey if you haven’t already 🙂
personally id have no problem with them just shifting the songs to one of the higher tunings (but keep tabs correct) with a note on what the correct tunings is supposed to be.
Better make new rocksmith with new features like turn off original guitar sound to hear only what player plays?
New song are fine but new lessons would be better.
Using audio stems would limit the songs they could license even more.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
You ask us this now????
I can’t even get most of the fucking songs with drop tunings to recognize a fucking open string note on my bass(so don’t even fucking tell me its my fucking intonation!)…this is worse than fucking pathetic.
So why don’t you fix the fucking DLC’s that are already out and work like shit instead of trying even lower tunings…why don’t we fucking try that first?
*I change my strings every 6 weeks, at which time my intonation is re-checked…
Sounds like you need a new battery in your bass or perhaps adjust the pickups. The software isn’t the problem it’s on your side sorry.
I had a similar experience and known how frustrating it is. I remember an open D on the bottom string being the worst offender. The first thing I tried was switching from a passive bass to an active one and that helped some but what solved the problem for me permanently (and I was convinced the problem was with the game also) was setting a bass up with super thick strings (128-110-95-73) and using that for everything in D standard and lower. Basically doubled my scores on the low tuned songs in one day thanks to awesome note detection.
From the slightly out of A440 to A440? Definitely would interest me. I rarely play the E standard collections that are out from A440 due to it being a pain in the ass to re-tune for each one. I would greatly appreciate the convenience over the exact pitch. 95% of the time I see the song varies from 440 so I just skip it.
To better answer the question, you could provide an example song to try. Then I can give you a better response.
