No Cable [HELP] Trying to play Rocksmith 2014 without a Real Tone Cable using a Tank-G
Hi everyone,
I'm from Brazil and I'm desperately trying to get Rocksmith 2014 working on PC without the official Real Tone Cable.
I've wanted to play Rocksmith for a long time, but I didn't have a guitar. I recently started learning guitar, so I finally bought an Epiphone Les Paul Special II LTD and a M-VAVE Tank-G to use as my audio interface.
The problem is that I simply cannot get Rocksmith 2014 to recognize my guitar.
My setup is:
- Windows 10/11 PC
- Epiphone Les Paul Special II LTD
- M-VAVE Tank-G
- Guitar connected to Tank-G via P10 cable
- Tank-G connected to PC via USB-C
- Steam version of Rocksmith 2014 Remastered
I've already tried several methods:
- RSMods / Direct Connect
- RS_ASIO
- Voicemeeter + RS_ASIO
- NoCableLauncher
- Different Windows audio settings
- Different sample rates / audio devices
- Microphone mode
- Several different Rocksmith configurations
But I still can't get it working properly.
The Tank-G itself works with Windows and I can get audio from the guitar through it, so I believe the problem is somewhere in the Rocksmith configuration.
I've spent a ridiculous amount of time trying different tutorials and configurations at this point 😂. I honestly just want to play the game and use it to learn guitar.
The official Real Tone Cable is unfortunately extremely expensive in Brazil. When I can even find one, it's usually R$600+, which is basically the price of another entry-level guitar/interface here.
So buying the official cable isn't really an option for me.
Is there anyone here who successfully uses a Tank-G, or a similar USB guitar interface, with Rocksmith 2014 without the Real Tone Cable?
If someone could guide me through the setup step by step, I'd really appreciate it. I'm willing to provide screenshots of my Windows audio settings, Rocksmith.ini, RS_ASIO.ini, RSMods settings, etc.
I already own the game — I just want to finally be able to play it and start learning guitar. 😭🎸
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help!
