The disc import tool is off only 15% but if you get it all now you're paying less than 20 euro for use of all Rocksmith songs in Rocksmith 2014. Pretty nice DLC package in my opinion.

So what are the bands/packs most fun to play on bass? Already got a bunch, but more is always better.

Good Bass DLC?

The Sublime set is generally all fun on bass but Santeria is the real standout among them.
Likewise with the No Doubt set. Don't Speak and especially Spiderwebs are both amazing on bass.
Depending on your bass chops and stamina, Duran Duran - Rio and Muse - Hysteria are some really fast songs that will really test your agility in both hands.
James Gang - Funk #49 is a really fun bass line, The Distance by Cake is simple but very satisfying to play, and I Think I'm Paranoid by Garbage is really fun, especially if you played a ton of Rock Band like I did.
How Far We've Come by Matchbox 20 is simple but pretty fast and I find that it's a great song to practice long runs of notes either plucked or picked.
Bill Withers - Lovely Day is a recent song and not on sale but worth looking into for the bass part.

From Rocksmith 2012 DLC:
The Clash - Should I Stay or Should I Go
The Strokes - Reptilia, Juicebox
Blind Melon - No Rain
Santana - Smooth
Rush - Limelight
Dobie Gray - Drift Away
B.B. King - The Thrill Is Gone
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals - Paris (Ooh La La)
The Black Keys - Mind Eraser

This is tricky because while I don't actually like much of the dlc music it can be surprisingly fun to play.

Like Knights of Cydonia, it's fun to play all those ridiculous epic parts and I get a decent finger workout.

Anyone know some others along those lines that would make a lovely player feel like a rock god while still getting some training?

Going to get some Clash songs for sure.

E- no not that vvv

Number Thirteen is really fun for that, it's pretty simple once you get the triplet feel down, while still being a challenge to power through it. Sounds cool too

It doesn't look like it's for sale through the main RS2014 page on Amazon and the link seems to be a third-party seller(?) I know I was interested, but I'd feel better getting via Amazon if only because I'm not 100% sure when I'd be actually activating the code.

As for ASIO4All breaking the cable it's because an application is trying to lock down the cable with exclusive mode or it's preventing Rocksmith from locking it down, either way this can stop the device from working.

As you can see here I've disabled the Rocksmith cable in ASIO4All so I can play the game, my 5.1 speakers connected to the Realtek device however are being used by another program and cannot be locked down by ASIO4All so it puts a big Red X through them. The tooltip shows the rocksmith cable is in idle mode, I had to add an arrow because Printscreen doesn't capture the mouse cursor.


Nah dude I know about all that. I disabled exclusive mode and rebooted my entire machine and literally nothing I did after ASIO4ALL was installed would get it to detect. Exclusive on, exclusive off, rocksmith, external applictions, nothing. Total 100% silence.

I don't get the same feeling for bass but most exciting bass is not necessarily in the rock world where people get their favourite guitar things from and the game is more guitar-centric. I'd love to have some Motown and a big heap of jazz.

I'd like to since Rocksmith 1 definitely seems to have the superior tracks. But again they're listed for windows only and I run this on a mac. The in-game store offers only 2014 songs iirc. Would I just be throwing money down the drain if I were to buy them?

Nope. RS1 export and original DLC all work in RS2014. You need to own RS1 on Steam for the import tool to do anything for you but it works. I think you need to own RS1 to buy its DLC, but that might be fixed now.

Uhhhh so I bought freebird and neither the rhythm part nor the lead part plays the slide guitar main melody. And there's no alternate parts.

What the loving poo poo is this? :psyduck:

Its not hard to play even without a slide if you have enough gain. You're killing me here Rocksmith.

Yeah, as long as you have it owned and you have the import tool installed it should just kinda automatically work :iiam: I think the import tool secretly contains all the DLC from RS1 or something, because there's no download for those but if you get RS2014 DLC it downloads it.

Yeah, a lot of the early Rocksmith 1 DLC was kind of sketchy. The developers were still trying to decide how hard they wanted to gamify their tracks vs sticking to how it's actually played and made some strange decisions. I remember the Queen pack being kind of hosed up in a couple of ways too.

Is the original solo included as a bonus arrangement? I can see them being required to use the 1997 audio but the charting was up to them.

No, because the track is from 1997. I like the new solo but it pisses off a lot of people

Something like that is going on: if you use the Rocksmith-to-Tab converter you get ALL of the RS1 DLC tabs coming out the other end when you do a batch run with the import tool installed.

Same here. I'm never going to see Death, Crimson Glory, Gojira or WASP as official DLC so the CDLC stuff is a huge thing for me. Also, I even have a custom of Diablo's Tristram theme.
