Bought my first guitar
(lemmy.ca)
I will be using Rocksmith and Justin guitar to learn and am looking for any and all advice. I don't have an amp yet but I'm sure that's fine.
I think you can use the Rocksmith cable (Real Tone cable?) as an audio interface for amp sims. Might be a way to play with effects while saving up for an amp.
If you aren't planning on playing live for an audience, you might just upgrade to a real audio interface instead of an amp.
Main issue with RTC and amp sims would be drivers. I think the only thing that would work is ASIO4All. I haven't really tried myself but my expectation is that it would have some lag to it. Something like the Fender Mustang Micro (I have this, big fan), or a NUX Mighty Plug, or the new IK iRig USB (mentioned in Guitar Geek The Week in Gear 22, seems like a crazy good deal with Amplitube and ToneX software included) would all be good options that are still useful even after OP buys an amp.
With FlexASIO, the drivers fails to initialize, when using the Realtone cable. I just have a Scarlett Solo instead, since I also need one for a mic
Scarlett solo is a great little device, affordable new and you can find them used even cheaper pretty regularly at pawn shops and the like

I have the cable and have figured out that I need an ASIO4ALL driver but I am having a few hangups still. My speakers aren't too loud which is my biggest drawback.
