Rocksmith Real Tone Cable

Product Information

That consistency translates to accurate gameplay representation so that you can continue progressing on your journey to learn how to play the guitar. Although this switch’s purpose was to let acoustic or classical guitar players make progress, it’ll work for your electric guitar without much hassle. It acts as a standard USB Audio In device, it doesn't have its own driver and windows should detect it automatically if everything is OK with your PC. When you stop using the Real Tone Cable for a different setup, you’ll find that the discovery process is much easier to complete. ■ Does Your Game Suffer from Latency Problems? It is better to be prepared for those circumstances now so that you can keep playing instead of needing to wait for a replacement cord.

Although the sound goes through more equipment when using this method, the quality is still better because of the cable’s construction. We don’t always talk about how our electronics and connectors are consumables from a music industry perspective. You will need to replace the cords for your guitar one day because they’ll eventually wear out. Well I just hear it. To mesure it precisely I just record both my bass direct + the sound game return: my bass goes to the MOTU using the head DI output (or AES/EBU when not playing the game When you play on PC, the computer’s microphone does a reasonably good job of grabbing the sounds from your guitar. You’ll see the results without much latency on the screen. In this guide, we will walk through some common fixes with the cable and get you playing again! Common Issues

I'm only guessing but I think ubisoft didn't paid much money for PC port creation, nor they are intending to spent any more for fixing bugs and adding features that community is requesting. What most players discovered is that the issue with the Real Tone Cable starts with the USB connection. So the fix for me was another player tip: I simply stopped using all my pro stuff for the game, and re-enabled that lame motherboard sound chipset. Using the motherboard sound chip digital optical output (so that I don't get the crappy DA conversion) to my MOTU as a TOSLink it's working great now: I have been able to set the buffers as low as 1x 160 samples (down from 2x 1024). That's almost a 13x shorter latency! The echo is now almost unnoticable and all is sounding great. Yipi! Time to go to work, will sleep an other day. lol

What you see on the television or your computer monitor should feel like a real-time playing experience. The calibration setting can be found in the tuner menu while playing a song. Once there, follow the in-game directions to calibrate your guitar. I even tried using my VOICELIVE2 (TC HELICON voice harmonizer) which has an USB audio interface: all the same! The issues commonly associated with the real tone cable can be broken down into two categories: No audio and Latency. No Audio When calibrating, once the game asks you to mute the strings after playing, make sure you mute them with your hand and immediately release them.

Regardless of which version of the game you bought, you can still use the cable on a different device. Finally, connect the other output to the Real Tone cable and plug the Real Tone cable into your console or computer. You can also use a cable splitter cord to get the benefits you want without a Real Tone Cable when you play on PC. It should only take a couple of milliseconds for your instrument to send the playing information to the game. If it takes longer than this time, you might struggle to accomplish your goals in the game.

Reinstalling the USB drivers on your computer can sometimes help reset the Real Tone cable and get it to start transmitting audio again.

It is worth mentioning that the standard Real Tone cable will work with most consoles and computers. If you got into a song and started bouncing around when playing, you might have pulled the cable out of your computer accidentally.
