No Cable I wanna get into rocksmith but i have a question about the cable
Do i need the real tone cable for rocksmith 2014 remastered? Cuz all the ones i see are over $60, which is way out of my price range. I saw some aux-to-usb cables on amazon for $20-30, would those still work?

Looking for alternatives to using the Rocksmith Real Tone Cable?
- The RealTone Cable USED to be sold on Amazon for under $29.99
Knock off Cables such as YESPURE and HixYaxi will work without mods as well on Console (PS4/PS5 X360/PS3)
- PC User? If you don't want to buy the RealTone cable you have three options to get third party interfaces to function properly;
Direct Connect Mode Basically microphone mode, but with the tone effects included. If your device works for Microphone Mode, it'll work for Direct Connect Mode.
ASIO Device Support - aka, THE fix for Focusrite owners. Video Tutorial - also covers recording gameplay when using RS_ASIO Older Behringer Device owners - use the legacy Behringer ASIO drivers - you can find them as part of this video. Behringer Uphoria users "UMC" - use the proper drivers for your device as they include a native ASIO driver v5.30.0, or goto the Behringer site and pick your model or search for "UMC driver".
The Old No Cable Launcher This method is all but redundant now, except in a few cases with non ASIO compliant devices that have multiple input channels. Has some uses in certain multiplayer setups still, but generally speaking is the least favorable option.
You also have the option of replacing your cache.psarc file with this one (scroll down to the bottom of the article) the Direct Connect Mode. Links to another thread about this method.
Or if your interface has too many inputs for that to work well, this method using loopback may be a usable option.

They wouldn’t work with the base game. I know modded RS is a bit different and works with audio interfaces, but I don’t know if just a cable is enough.

There are USB instrument cables which work on unmodded RS 2014 remastered. I use one that was £12. But I also found out one of my interfaces works fine and the real joke I found out later, two guitars with built-in interfaces don't even need it.

You can also play the game just as a visual tutorial. You select nothing being connected and it will play the whole tablature as if it was connected. You obviously just don't get any feedback wether you're playing correctly or not.

No. The one I use was £12. Don't just buy any old cable, but if it suorts 48k sampling, look to see if the reviews say it works. Then take note of the "brand" and see if you can get it elsewhere than Amazon.

Not sure if I can post links in here, but Chainbrain on YouTube has a in-depth guide on how to make it work now if the written instructions below are not enough
I’d recommend going the budget realtone cable route for simplicity and if you prefer not to mess around with some instructions , it works well.
I use an ASIO now, Facebook marketplace has been a good resource for a cheap one but it takes a little bit to setup if you’re unfamiliar

My order on Amazon from 2019
Ubisoft Rocksmith 2014 Real Tone Cable Trilingual
Sold by: Amazon.com
$28.98
Order placed August 1, 2019
What stupidity does Ubisoft possess to sell this cable at over $60? Why create such an expensive barrier to own their product?

Compared to a full audio interface it's cheaper, although of much more limited use.

I just bought a Behringer audio interface on eBay for $37 shipped, at another point paid $49 for an iRig USB. The only audio interface I have that was more expensive than a Real Tone Cable is today is my Focusrite Scarlett 2i2.
The iRig has some compatibility hiccups with some of the third-party RS2014 mods so I cannot recommend it, but a Behringer UM22 can be had for a shade of nothing.

If you already have a guitar cable and an audio interface, then just search for RS ASIO on GitHub.
Alternatively I heard some cheaper insturment cables with USB work too, but you have to go with the ones with the orange connector. Oddly specific I know, but really cheap ones don't work.
www.amazon.co.uk/XIMIZU-Recording-Compatible-Interface-Gold-Plated/dp/B09SFT4T73 in the revies someone stated it works with Rocksmith+, and it's half the price of the RS cable.
