Playing through USB audio interface?

[gawrone]

Does anybody have an idea if the game can be used with USB audio interface? I allready have an equipment to plug my instruments to USB used for recording. It costed ten times more than Rocksmith Real Tone Cable and I'm pretty sure it is better ;) So do I really have to invest in this cable to play this game?

It is not better for the game. The game looks for the realtone cable and refuses to work without it.

The RealTone cable is the official way to play the game, and really is the best way.

Oh god, this AGAIN??

Just one day... ONE day without this same stupidity being posted yet AGAIN, that's all I want.

I'm glad the question was asked as I too have a rather expensive USB audio desk that I would have preferred to use.

Simple fact is, I am not paying £30 for a cable whose main use is DRM and, from many reports, breaks all too often. Shame really as it could have been fun.

*lol* ~2000 games in the library and complains about £30 one has to spend for this cable. Mine never broke. Have it since RS1 came out.

It's not the money, it's the principle. That lead is not worth £30 and is being used as a means of DRM restriction.

I'm glad that you are happy with it. I am not. No problem either way, just personal choice.

That "lead" is an audio interface. Worth £30? Imo it easily is. I have >1000h spent in this game. That's less than £30/1000 = £0,03/h. DRM? Yes, maybe. Who cares? This is steam *and* this game requires UPlay in addition. Complaining about the cable as additional DRM here is funny at best.

That is your opinion, to which you are entitled, and I am very happy for you. My opinion is that it is not worth it.

Please feel free to continue enjoying Rocksmith. My personal opinion won't make a difference to your enjoyment and, conversely, your enjoyment won't make a difference to my opinion.

With as many hours I have in this software and have Never been bored once.
It works out to 0.0132978723404255 an hour.And i have never had a problem with a cable that was not my own fault.Have had one cable almost 3 years never a fail yetI also ues it to record thru Amplitube and Ableton Live 8 with out hooking up my other audio interface and it does great for just messing around

I've found that the RS Cables last longer when you don't eat them. They really should print that on the box.

Wow. Ask a simple question before buying a game. Get haters posts calling me "stupid" and people fighting each other. Many thanks to all of you who just simply answered. Now I know. It was that simple and It is cool that most of you guys got that right.

I wasn't referring to you at all. I was just throwing that out there in case anyone else feel for their evil marketing scheme like I did.

[gawrone]

Aha, ok then, cool.

[Boris the Animal]

Yeah bro, I was just being silly and really wasn't referring to you. As far as the cable, you have a fair point. It's one that's been mentioned many times and I think it's more the topic that anyone else was reacting to and not actually you.
