How’s that for a surprise? If you like what you hear let @UbisoftStudioSF, @HailTheShane, @BrianAdamMcCune and @MMontgomery18 know what you think!
Where’s all the Skid Row?! I thought you said this was Bachfest! 😉
I agree with whoever said it. How long til we can note ducking technology? That the next step up! Great pack only missing duck feature
Rocksmith doesn’t use separated audio stems so I guess the answer is never?
Since they recorded the songs themselves, surely they could have just released an alternate version of each, minus the part being played?
Personally I think that would cause more problems with the end user than you think.
I don’t see the need for ‘note ducking’, if you play it right you won’t notice anyway, surely? Or am I misunderstanding what it actually is?
Best DLC of Rocksmith in 2014? Doubt that. Personally I would choose Billy Talent, System of a Down or Rise Against as they all have helped me improve albeit in different ways. Define best, you come up with varying answers.
Best implementation of an idea into a music game in 2014? 100%. Even tho I enjoyed this month`s Biffy Clyro`s Lead charts more than this, I will still vote for Bachsmith in this month`s DLC roundup, as it is so unique that it needs to get credit where it is due. Big fucking props to the developers.
Played through them all on bass. Quite fun! Die Valkure is a bit over my skill, but I’ll dial it back a bit to work on it. Moonlight Sonata is gorgeous. A nice fall back after a rough go at the previously mentioned composition.
Excellent DLC, for sure.
And yes, Duran Duran pack has lost no luster! 😀
yeah, Bachsmith finally arrived on PSN EU, and you know the good surprise? it costs 11,99 euros, it does 15,80 USD… 🙁 👿 ❗ 😥
who do i have to thanks?
i’m so disappointed…
SCEE screwed something up? Well I for one am shocked
yeah, I know it happens OFTEN, but this time i’m really fed up..
After buying them and playing them… They’re just not that fun. But hopefully, this opens the door to other stuff, like Jazzsmith or Bachatasmith.
This reminds me of that cool Xmas pack released for the original Rocksmith. Except that was free.
Should have called it Baroquesmith.
This is great though, loving them all!
I like this pack, I can’t fly through it like the rest. It forces you to learn some of the parts.
Thank you Rocksmith for a most excellent morning! You have succeeded in challenging me thoroughly, and I hope that there are many more songs of this ilk to come in the future.
This is the best dlc in recent memory. This dlc pack also gives me hope for tv/video game music – legend of Zelda, super mario, metroid music anyone?
Yeah Mario world in particular has a song I really want to play but I have a feeling cross game licencing will be a challenge. I do I hope I am wrong though.
Also anything by the Black Mages would be EPIC!
but I already learned the bassline from final fantasy 2
I’m more of a guitar man myself.
and on nintendo, Gerudo valley from Ocarina of time has had some pretty good full instrumentals done.
I’d rather see the music of Star Wars 🙂
or a John Williams Pack. hehe. All sounds good to me.
Good Music, good DlC… I will buy it… 🙂
A) I hope we never, never get the Bloodhound Gang. This is not due to classical music being introduced, but people having any semblance of taste in music whatsoever.
B) This DLC is epic! I tried everything on bass and was able to get up to 70% or above on every song so far. I am kind of afraid to try the guitar parts though…they sound wicked hard!
C) I had never played bass before and bought one to learn with Rocksmith. I have played guitar for years, both acoustic and electric, and I was dubious at how well it could teach me techniques. My qualms have all been allayed as my improvement continues in the game. As of today, I started learning how to do slapping/popping, and after struggling until my fingers hurt and then some, I managed to get up to about 90% mastery on “My Iron Lung” by Radiohead! I don’t know how many people connected to the developers read these posts, but I want to say thank you. This is the reason I continue to spend (way too much) money on this game! 😀
Daniel Bryan approve that DLC
this is great but now game is too high brow and means we will never get bloodhound gang music. I cant see ballad of chasey lain next to beethoven
Music is music. Adding some of one type doesn’t restrict another. 🙂
Best part is having songs listed from the 1700’s and 1800’s in a category.
This reminds of that cool xmas pack they came out with for the original Rocksmith. Except that was free.
Too bad there is no option of “ducking” the notes.
