Rocksmith with USB audio interface

[Gene]

Is it posible to play rocksmith with my Focusrite Scarlet 2i4 ?
How can i do it if it is possible?
Thanks for the help

Using an audio interface like the Focusrite is not supported. You might be able to get it to work using the MIC option that is in RS but that does not loop the sound of your guitar through the game, it only does note recognition.

If using an Electric guitar or an acoustic with a pickup, using the Realtone cable is the best and suppported method. Only $30 for the cable. And you might be able to find it cheaper if you find it bundled with RS1, or find a used one.

If using an acoustic guitar without a pickup, there is an option to point a mic at the guitar.

I've the realtone cable just wanted to use the audio interface to have a better sound.
Thanks for your answer ^^

Run the output from your built in audio playback device into an input on your Focusrite interface. That is how I've used my EMU to be able to use my studio monitors.

However, with a nice set of PC speakers ... or better yet S/PDIF out to a nice home theater setup ... there is no need to use anything but the built in audio playback device. The audio from the game is a perfect match for that, as it is stereo, 16 bit, 48 khz.

Using Line 6 UX-1 instead of RealTone Cable. You'll need unofficial launcher, where you could choose input device for guitar. Its not supported by Ubisoft, so if you'll have sound problems - you're on your own, but as for me, it's working great

I tried to use nocable too for my Motu 828MKII but it seems they patched the game and I can't find the settings.xml file, which was where to tweak to make it work on 2014 edition

If we're talking about same launcher, make a bat file in a folder with launcher and type there
start NoCableLauncher.exe -set
Launch bat, setup everything and save it. xml should appear and then you just hit the launcher

Thank you it made me able to launch the game ! I had to rename my file with the same name as the loader to make it work. I still have issues with the sound and the RS "finds several realtone cables" but it's still better.

EDIT it seems to work fine with microhpone mode so I'll try like that !

I'd recommend to turn off all unused recording devices, then setup your playback device to 24bit 48000hz and turn off "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" or something like that

In rocksmith.ini:
EnableMicrophone=0
ExclusiveMode=0
RealToneCableOnly=0
Win32UltraLowLatencyMode=1

When you'll launch game, it'll show some notification about exclusivity, hit OK and as for me - its working like i have RealTone cable. If you want your mic also working in a same time (for TS, streams or whatever) turn off "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" in mic options. So, hope that'll help

I managed to make it work with a Behringer U-Phoria UM2.
Here is the step by step guide:
1. Download the Behringer drivers and follow instructions from here: https://goo.gl/bBEw19
2. Download the Nocable launcher and follow instructions from here: https://goo.gl/T9A9DR
3. Connect your bass/guitar to Input 1 (this is the input from where Rocksmith reads the signal)
4. Disable all other input peripherals
5. At this point, if you launch Rocksmith the audio will be crackling and it will be impossible to play. In order to make the signal compatible with the game, modify the Rocksmith.ini file as indicated here: https://goo.gl/2b16Ca
6. Open Rocksmith through the nocable launcher (see step 2)
7. Setup your account and select RealTone cable. Rocksmith will now work perfectly with your UM-2

If anyone's still looking for this there is an elegant solution on Mac OSX:

1. Start the app "Audio MIDI Setup" (it's in /Applications/Utilities or find using Spotlight)

2. In Audio Devices window, click + (bottom left) to "Create Aggregate Device"

3. Check the box next to the name of your input device. I own the Scarlett 2i2, so picked that.

4. Rename your new aggregate device to "Rocksmith USB Guitar Adapter" to make Rocksmith think it's a RealTone Cable.

(Not sure, but sample rate may have to be set at 48KHz to be compatible with Rocksmith)

Dude, the worst part of shortlinks - they gets outdated. Can you give fresh ones? XD

The worst part of those instructions is that it gives you poor results. Use the Real Tone Cable.

I'd say this one is the best. Use it myself, everything works great
In case you need to enter the settings, create a .bat file with the line

start NoCableLauncher.exe -set

And launch it

Tried that "NoCableLauncher", but that worked not out for me (found a cable for each intput and I couldn't even tune as the rocksmith could not detect the notes). Me helped the ASIO mode and using the software in microphone mode. ASIO? Most better sound cards have so called ASIO drivers for windows. There is even a generic freeware called Asio4all, for devices without them.

My problem with the cable? I had to decide between amp with stompboxes and that cable. You could use a special splitter, but the good ones are pricy. A Lehle P-Split comes to mind. Decent hardware, but clocks around 100,- EUR. With those ASIO driver I can simply grab the signal before the stompboxes with a DI interface and send it to the soundcard.

This worked for me on Mac!!!
