The previous points about a lack of Remastered Retail packages outside of North America make me think this may just be part of the 6 month plan. Hopefully Microphone Mode as it is now is just a step towards removing the RTC as required hardware to get the most from this great software. By disabling any in game post processing effects on the Microphone signal by default, ie, in game tone switching, one of the big selling points of the game is disabled. We have seen many reports of users digging out their old Rock Band or Guitar Hero microphones and plugging them into their console and playing the recent Creedence Clearwater Revival and Green Day acoustic DLC tracks with great success.īut for those users that can’t get a RTC, or just want to use their own hardware, this limitation is somewhat frustrating at the moment.Ī simple check box for In-game Effects on the “Microphone” would be enough – call it “Interface Mode” to avoid the confusion if need be. The note detection of my nylon string (classical) guitar via my Zoom H2n – is a million times better than it was when using a piezo based contact mic “pickup”. It works brilliantly for this by the way. The limitations make absolutely perfect sense for anyone using the Microphone Mode in the intended way that is for an acoustic guitar without an inbuilt pickup. There have been a few bugs reported with the software having “un-intended actions” attributable to Microphone Mode, the team are working on them and have already put out a beta fix that they’ve asked Steam users to help them test. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt here and assume this is only as a temporary measure to confirm Microphone Mode and Interfaces work properly as intended first, before later expanding their use to the entire software feature set, however I have no basis for this other than wishing it to be so. While most generic USB interfaces can and will work (at-least on PC and Mac – console drivers can be somewhat spotty), UbisoftSF have still made the decision to limit the Microphone Mode features. For comparison, US retailers cleared the 2014 retail packages 2+ months ago for as low as $10, and Remastered retail packages are $29.99 currently. The exchange rate puts that at USD$102.51. That linked photo was taken at the only store in my city I have seen anything RS related in the last 2 years – on December 28th, 2016. If you live outside of an area serviced by Amazon (most of South America, Australia, Asia or Africa for eg), you can’t get a stand alone real-tone cable, since they are only stocked by Ubisoft themselves (North America only) and Amazon. So great news, right? No need to buy a Real Tone Cable (RTC) anymore to use the software if yours gets killed, or you want to gift Rocksmith to a friend, or you can’t stomach having to pay over $100 USD locally to buy a 2014 retail package with cable. Well if you happen to live outside of North America, you will no longer find a Rocksmith Remastered retail bundle, as Ubisoft have decided they won’t be offered to retail stores outside of North America anymore. Alternatively you could place a mic in-front of your amp and have your notes detected while you listen to your own “sweet tones” within the room, no need for AB/Y pedals, multi output tuners or DI boxes with ground lifts. This mode is intended for use with acoustic guitars primarily, and because you don’t want any extra noise in the room if at all possible when using a bare microphone, they have chosen to disable the post effects (Authentic Tones) whenever Microphone Mode is in use.īecause any microphone source that can be set to a sampling rate of 48Khz should work, meaning those of us with alternate guitar interfaces – can now have them function natively within Rocksmith. Well it means the game will now detect any microphone connected to the system and allow you to use that as an input source for a guitar. If you have all been spending plenty of time with the family over the last few weeks, you may have missed the fact that finished with the tweaks and fixes to Rocksmith 2014 Remastered just yet.ĭecember 13th saw a patch pushed out that added one very big new feature, a semi-related but heavily requested feature, a bunch of bug fixes, some improvements that were sadly missing still after the first Remastered updates – and a few more of the nice features we already got in October.įrom the main menu, where we previously had the button to change the path, we now have the option to change path AND input method……
