Will Line-In from my guitar amp work with this game?

[tr00]

I've been searching for an answer but people keep evading the question by saying stuff like "dude just get the official USB-thingy..." - I need a "yes" or a "no".

My amp is connected into a 3.5 mm mic in port in the motherboard and trough RealTek I get almost instantaneous response. That's how I've been recording stuff so I don't think latency will be an issue either.

You can use Microphone-Mode this way. The modeling of sounds done by RS is disabled then, but that should not matter when you play through your amp.

What matters is that the sound you input to RS is *clean*. No effects, no distortion. So yes or no depends on the features of your amp.

Cool stuff, thanks. I have a certain stompbox with 3.5mm and 1/4 inch outputs so I can use that to divert the clean for Rocksmith.

IMO this is the best way to use RS

Will it work? Possibly. Will you get all of the features of the learning software? No. Will you have predictable results? Probably not.

Getting the Real Tone cable will provide the best experience and learning opportunities. You then can be sure that the software is working properly, that it is recognizing your guitar correctly, and that note recognition is working correctly. It is the method that will give you the least amount of headaches and all that is left is to improve your guitar playing.

If you still want to use your Amp, then the share from MTZIGG is your best option.

Why do people evade the question? Because many people have tried many ways of working around the Real Tone cable with poor results, and then they complain that the software isn't working when the problems are due to their attempt to work around the requirement. Can be done is different then should be done.

Get the real tone cable and follow Rouge's guide. I did it 2 years ago and I play with all my gear. I am using that method with a Line6 Helix and Powercab+. I can route the rocksmith track though usb to the helix and out the powercab with my guitar mixed in how I want. It's a great way to have a concert out back and entertain you friend.

My next step is muti-play and figure out how to give the bass it's own external amp as well. More on that this summer....
