How does this work with rocksmith, are there any special cables I will need to buy?

I don't have rocksmith, but it looks like it has its own cable that you plug into an electric guitar jack. This pickup should work to use an acoustic with rocksmith, but it has its own cable and no jack. You'd need a 1/4" mono female to female coupler (a couple dollars) to go between the two cables. That should do it.

I was able to hook it up to the PS3 without anything extra to play Rocksmith and it was a little weird, but the audio fed through okay. But you won't be able to have them both hooked up at the same time. Because you can't have surround sound on the PC I keep 2 speakers on my desk and 2 next to the TV. And when I want to use the PS3 I just move the power box thing.But honestly after having this for awhile, it's not the greatest. I mean, I upgraded from some WalMart speakers from 5 years ago, but my brother bought Logitech speakers around 3 years ago for the same price as this and it still trumps these speakers.

No, this first edition is only for pc. If you want to use on a mac then you have to get rocksmith 2014 edition, that one is mac or pc. I will tell you this make sure your mac and or pc meants games requirements. I have both editions and my mac doesnt meet requirements. I had to upgrade a pc. Hope that helps. I love both editions.

Hi. The kit I ordered (which came from Sam Ash) did not come with a cable, so you'll have to buy one. A standard guitar cable (with 1/4 inch plugs on either end) works fine, and of course their are the variables like whether or not you want a right-angle plug on one end, or a coiled cable, etc. I would suggest the strap, particularly if you are going to be playing standing up. The body is larger than a standard uke, and with the smooth, shiny finish, it will slip fairly easily from the crook of your arm. This is the one I bought: Neotech 8001002 Mandolin/Ukulele Strap, BlackHope that will help. Hi. The kit I ordered (which came from Sam Ash) did not come with a cable, so you'll have to buy one.

You have to use an XLR adaptor or a mixer. The cable has one guitar mono & one XLR. Otherwise, contact Apogee and ask.

I could not get it to work with audacity or Rocksmith on Windows 7. Fortunately I ordered Rocksmith with the cable and it works perfect.

Yes it will work with Rocksmith.. BUT .. the audible acoustic and latency from Rocksmith may slightly interfere with your learning. In other words you're probably going to hear a delayed response from your TV.

You need an audio interface. If you get a USB interface there will be a cable supplied that goes from the interface to the computer. If you want to use a guitar then of course you need a regular guitar cable to go to the interface.

I've done some previous research on this and I understand that it does but it is recommended that you get the Rocksmith adapter for the guitar. Otherwise the game will read the guitar input poorly and the game will say that you are doing worse than you really are.

My son didn't have any problems. According to the product description, you "can plug any real guitar with a standard quarter-inch input jack into an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3". I think it'll work for you just fine.

No it will not, also will not work with Windows 8. The driver installation keeps faling. Save your money and get the cable that comes with Rocksmith. Its more granted but your not spending you time trying to get this to work when you could be playing.

I am not sure if it works with the Rockith game. I am assuming it does because it has an electrical pickup. From what I understand the cord plugs into the audio jack on the electrical guitar and into the console via USB.Also a previous question asked was if it had two strap nuts. It only has one on the bottom of the guitar. It seems that one can be added to the bad of the neck though.

I got this Epiphone Guitar pack and it works great, however the cable that comes with it connects only to the amp. For Rock smith (which I have and love) make sure the Rock Smith game you buy comes with the cable specifically for the game, it comes with a jack in one end and a USB port on the other (for the 360) I'm not sure what connection it needs for the PS3 or computer. But if you bought the game without the cable just go online and order a cable, amazon has it as "Ubisoft Rocksmith Real Tone Cable" for $26.00

This answer is NOT verified. That being said, I'm 90% sure ONLY the cable made by rocksmith will work with the game regardless of what platform it's on. Mine didn't work on PC and all online resources said that the game isn't compatible with anything but their own cable. So my advice is to put up the few extra bucks for the cable made by rocksmith and save yourself frustration.

Yes. MadCatz makes a "Xbox 360 Rock Band Midi PRO-Adapter" that can be used to make eletric guitars, keyboards and electric drums compatible with Rock Band. It is now 27bucks here on amazon. But when I first looked at it, it was 15bucks. I am waiting on it to go back down in price before I get one.

It is a very well known guitar. I did a lot of research first. My son figured out Rocksmith is a bit of work, so he isn't playing as much as he thought he would.

Yes. Any electric guitar will. I use it for rocksmith on the computer, but it's the same cord and same technology.
