This includes the mic input and external audio cards. Looking on the internet about this topic, I found lots of people with my same question, and somebody with a solution: a patch that allow you to run Rocksmith using any audio input in your pc instead of the Rocksmith pc cable. But for Rocksmith 2014 you can use your own guitar, and the Real Tone Cable is, well, just a usb guitar cable. Obviously, if you try to play the game using a normal cable, it will ask you to connect the Rocksmith 2014 Real Tone Cable to be able to play.

Like in Guitar Hero, you could copy the game, but you can’t copy the controller. Of course the requirement of this cable is a way to (try to) stop piracy. If you ask to Ubisoft, they will tell you that the Rocksmith Real Tone Cable is a must for playing the game. Like i happened with the first Rocksmith version, I tought: would I be able to play Rocksmith 2014 trough my pc’s sound card using a normal 3.5 to 2.5 adaptor ? If so, I could avoid to buy the Rocksmith guitar cable. You can buy the bundle containing the game and the Rocksmith 2014 Real Tone Cable (same as the previous Rocksmith version’s Real Tone Cable) or even the Rocksmith 2014 Guitar Bundle, or buy them separately. How does this game work? Everything is possible thanks to the so called Ubisoft Rocksmith 2014 Real Tone Cable : a cable that connects your electric guitar jack output to a usb port on your pc (or XBox or PS3). Plus, with the included gears, you can play like a rock star!Īfter the success of the first Rocksmith, Ubisoft released a new version of the game, with an improved gameplay an other cool features.

I’m not gonna discuss the possibility to see this game as a tool for learning to play an instrument, but personally, as a guitar player, i’m enthusiast of being able to play a game that gives you an authentic guitar experience and, at the same time, lets you practice guitar and learn new songs. And when I say REAL, I’m not meaning a controller made like a real guitar, like the ones you can use in Rock Band 3: i mean a real guitar, like the one you could already have at home, or even a bass. If you’ve never heard about Rocksmith, well, we could say that it’s like Guitar Hero played with a REAL guitar. In this post I’m gonna show you how to play Rocksmith 2014 using a normal cable.
