Holy poo poo. I haven't played 2014 for a long, long time and I come back and the customs world is just so developed now. It's crazy! There's everything! I downloaded about 50 songs and it's the tip of the iceberg of what I want to get. There's lots of things I wouldn't have expected to see, like The Odyssey by Symphony X, which I haven't been able to even finish yet.

Awesome, Dancing in the Moonlight's bass is simple but pretty fun.

Anyone have experience doing DIY repairs on the Rocksmith cable? It's from the original Rocksmith so no chance of warranty, and I like a challenge.

I think the TRS end is starting to crap out on me but I'm wondering if snipping the end and using a solderless connector would be enough to fix it.

Update on this: The GFS solderless cables do not work... solderlessly anyway. Easy enough to solder it in place and ground to the shield of the cable with a bit of fiddling and sounds perfect, but if anyone was curious just go for normal plugs. I guess they do something funky with the cabling they sell for these plugs to make it work outright, that or the Rocksmith cable is a really tiny wire internally.

Given the lag is equivalent to what I got using a 3.5/3.5 m/m audio cable once, compared to my Mustang amp via mini usb, yeah they probably just used a thin wire

Solder on an inline socket, and then you can plug a normal guitar cable into the rocksmith cable.

Does this game have anything for docile oldsters who want to play something a little more laid back than heavy metal devil music? I own the game, but I haven't bought an electric because I either don't like most of the music I've seen or don't even r cognizant the band names.

Old goon is old and out of touch.

There's a ton of music in the base game(s) from the 60s to now - I never pay attention to which is which, but if you don't have the original game and the import thing then that's worth it if it's for cheap. I guess it depends if stuff like Boston or the Stones are too metal for ya

There's a lot of laid back stuff in there anyway, but if you don't like it then it's just down to taste. Browse the old DLC list or get some custom DLC and see if anything gets you going

A LOT of music that is not metal or even post 80s rock. Things like Surf pack, Hendrix, etc. There is also CDLC, which features some oldies as well.

Don't forget the funk!

On a contrarian note though Asylum by Disturbed is genuinely one of the most fun bass parts in the game. Even if you don't like metal that much, it's great on bass.

Any idea how much, if any, noticeable extra latency that would add?

It's in the garbage. Where it belongs.
There were a lot of shifted customs in the original RS and I'd like to add that another consideration is that the sound of your guitar unamplified will be different and you really need to drown the difference out or it's extremely disorienting.

Some guitars like Les Pauls are super loving loud acoustically and headphones are the only cure.

I'm not sure about that one, I have a digitech drop and there's zero latency- however it's a bit more pricey.

I play using something like:

guitar/bass > that behringer shifter > bass amp (rumble 75) > rocksmith cable (out of the amp line out) > macbook

And after adjusting I see no issues, but I'm not a real musician so grain of salt and all that.

I don't know how they could do a Dinosaur Jr. song that isn't Pick Me Up. That goddamn solo begs to be in Rocksmith. I like the idea of this pack though so I can't wait to see the whole list.

Interesting. I'm pretty sure the official songbook doesn't use a capo for this song.
