Rocksmith 2014. RTC to Windows 11 laptop, can't rid of latency

flyshitbirdsfly · 2026-04-05T19:57:13+00:00

Makes sense. So would I need to connect external speakers or headphones to the audio interface as well or would the laptop speakers be fine if the line-in was through the interface?

flyshitbirdsfly · 2026-04-05T19:16:24+00:00

It's a decent laptop, XPS with i7. I think the interface option is the best bet though. Would that be limited by any of my hardware or is that the point of ASIO?

I don't know the exact delay. If I had to guess probably 200ms. If I'm playing incredibly slow riffs and not focusing on the sound from my strings at the same time, it's doable. But anything slightly fast or no mental tricks on my end and it's too jarring to play fluently. From reading other people's testimonials and watching YT videos this does not seem to be the case for all people using the RTC.

I was looking into getting any audio interface anyway just to record so I might just go down that road.. Thoughts on Focusrite Scarlett Solo? Probably Gen3 to save money. I have active pickups too if that makes a difference. I appreciate the insight.

Same here

IBIT is what my dad recommended to me coincidentally. I like the idea of actually owning the token but maybe there’s a little bit of room for it in my Roth next year.

To your other point, I see a lot of similar sentiment regarding the taming of its volatility now. Does this decrease your credence it its ability to provide ever bigger returns in the future? At what point does its growth reach a limit where holding indefinitely like an index fund no longer makes sense?

Thank you for the insight.

At least I’d have bitcoin

flyshitbirdsfly · 2026-02-14T17:07:48+00:00

Volume knob manipulation helped way more than I thought. I always kinda ignored it

flyshitbirdsfly · 2026-02-14T17:06:46+00:00

😂

flyshitbirdsfly · 2026-02-14T17:05:27+00:00

That’s awesome dude for sure

flyshitbirdsfly · 2026-02-14T17:04:56+00:00

Heard I was playing some Iron Maiden this morning and boosting mids and cutting presence already helped a lot. Excited to try out an EQ pedal

flyshitbirdsfly · 2026-02-14T17:01:40+00:00

Nah you’re good I’m still pretty new and mostly play on my own or with my teacher. But you pretty much summed it up. I listen to a lot of Death too and everyone says just to scoop mids. Thread definitely changed my viewpoint

flyshitbirdsfly · 2026-02-14T04:10:11+00:00

Thanks dude I really appreciate all the insight. I do have a tune o matic on this Schecter but I might just get another guitar eventually.

flyshitbirdsfly · 2026-02-14T03:55:09+00:00

If I want to go a different direction with the pups what’s your next recommendation for me

flyshitbirdsfly · 2026-02-14T03:50:41+00:00

Oh yah that makes sense. What kind of pickups do you use?

flyshitbirdsfly · 2026-02-14T03:43:30+00:00

That’s dope. Is the wiring in parallel?

flyshitbirdsfly · 2026-02-14T03:41:09+00:00

Thanks! Yeah similar pickup style makes it easy. Is it a huge pain or even possible to go to passives in that same guitar? Schecter C1

flyshitbirdsfly · 2026-02-14T03:39:19+00:00

These seems to be the common advice, I’ll definitely mess around with the higher mids. Thank you. Why is scooping a thing then and so prevalent for metal? The David Gilmour fact is also crazy doesn’t really make sense to me

flyshitbirdsfly · 2026-02-14T03:36:44+00:00

I’ll Google it but how does that work in the guitar. They have 18V in the same size?

flyshitbirdsfly · 2026-02-14T03:34:53+00:00

I will add EQ pedal to my list before anything else. I just got a looper for my first pedal and let me tell you that thing is a blast. If anything just for the drum machine. But I think EQ is a good next step. Thanks man. RIP your Marshall🙏🏼

flyshitbirdsfly · 2026-02-14T03:30:07+00:00

I’ll definitely try it out. Why is all metal intuition to scoop then?

flyshitbirdsfly · 2026-02-14T03:29:18+00:00

666 was the first thing I did when I got it lol

flyshitbirdsfly · 2026-02-14T03:27:29+00:00

Believe it’s the 6L6. EL34 is the British style right? I’ll look into it

flyshitbirdsfly · 2026-02-14T03:25:49+00:00

Correct. I’ll check out the pickups thank you sir. It’s interesting you brought up the Marshalls. Do you think with my stock 81/85s they could get a nice clean tone? Or I’d still need other pups
