Rocksmith

[Longstreet]

So, first of all i know this is a long shot, but lets give it a go. There are some crafty folk around here.

Right now, rocksmith is on sale on steam. Since i always like a good deal, i though i'd check it out. Now from what i've seen it is a pretty good tool to learn (bass) guitar. So i thought lets buy it!

Now here comes the kicker, apparantly i need a 'Rocksmith Real Tone Cable' to be able to play it.
Now i ain't planning on spending 30 bucks on a cable when i got a perfectly fine cable already.

(I should note here that i already own a bass, but i just can't get around to learning to play it and thought this would get me going)

Now my question to yall is, if you have this game, would a regular p2/p10 adapter work, or any other adapter? So that i can plug the cable that would normally run from my bass to my amp in my pc.

I have seen a video about using a mic right next to your amp and plug that into your pc, two problems with that, or well three really, first of all i don't got a mic, second my amp is semi broken (sometimes emits static and i would swear i heard it passing through radio signals) and third, if i have to do all that i'd rather get the cable i need or not play it around.

Anyway i digress a bit, so would a p2/p10 adapter work for playing bass with rocksmith? Go!

I really don't think so. I think you need a special sound card or similar equipment to plug your instrument directly to your PC.
I 'm not an expert though so don't take my word for it.

You can use a p2/p10 adapter but the analogue to digital converters in most sound cards isn't that great and has the risk of lagging and missing some notes. The realtone cable has a analogue to digital converter that is optimised for guitars in it, which is why it cost so much. You are not paying $30 bucks for a cable but you are paying $30 for a usb soundcard.

Well that does make it a bit clearer, thanks mate.

Since the only audio i got is a Logitech G930 Headset and no speakers, i guess this would fall under the "most sound cards" category.

(FYI; under sound cards in speccy it sais; Sound Cards
Logitech G930 Headset
High Definition-audioapparaat
Realtek High Definition Audio)

I'll probably wait till Rocksmith 2014 comes out, then get a game + cable bundle of the old rocksmith.
