Hi, Doogiet.

I do have a Rocksmith cable that connects from my electric guitar to a USB port. Can I use this?


I was able to go out on the web and within minutes had seen several examples of people stating happiness using what you have for inputting guitar with various DAW's. Here's one such:

I am happy to comment that this Rocksmith Real Tone cable works perfectly with Garageband for me and is absolutely free of any unwanted noises. The cable is quite sturdy and seems almost indestructible in normal use. There is even a strain release mechanism in the USB tail where an inline plug will disconnect without yanking any of your computer (or game console if you are using it with the Rocksmith game) onto the floor.


Therefore, I don't see any reason why not. I would imagine PG Music software works with drivers that are capable of controlling the device*

It will probably take some work, as suggested, to find the right latency settings. Once done, I'll bet it works just fine for your purposes in both RealBand and BIAB. *As always, I may be wrong.

Just know this: any effects you apply in the DAW to that guitar signal, if done in real time (iow, so that you can hear the effect while playing) will dramatically increase latency. The workaround is to record with no effects applied, then apply the effects to the already recorded passages. You will likely get tired of this quickly, because hearing the effect real time changes how one plays, as adjustments are made to complement the effect that are USUALLY for the better smile

So, the previous suggestion of an effects box is a great one. I have a Korg AX1G, for example, and I love it. It has an array of amp sims and effects, is programmable, and has plenty of power to boost the signal as needed.
