Guitar Rig 2 as audio track insert - preset (patch) change?

I'm either missing something painfully obvious, or it's even harder than I think...
I'm trying to set up to play live using Logic Express 7 for accompaniment and automated control of GR2.
I've set up an audio track with "GuitarRig2 MFX" as an insert. I can see every single parameter within GR2 as controllable with automation EXCEPT the preset (patch). I want to simply change patches at various points in the song. It seems impossible.
This is on a PowerBook G4 laptop. I am using an Edirol FA-66 (firewire) as the audio interface. I have the RigKontrol connected, but not implemented as an audio interface, as there can only be one at a time.
As an experiment, I set up a track with GR2 as an Instrument, and can change patches, but that instance of GR2 is different from the one used as an insert, so the patch change doesn't help.
So, in Logic Express 7, how do I get an automatic patch change to GR2 as an insert (plug-in) on an audio track?

I haven't done this myself yet, but why would you want to do that? You can freeze the track and eliminate the CPU load.
However, if it's not CPU load that concerns you, then you could simply route the output of the track containing GR2 to a new audio track (instead of the main output), solo the two tracks, and record-enable the 2nd track. Press record and go...
I think that should do the trick...hope I didn't miss anything.

  • You insert the wrong audio track-quickest way to change it

    If you're editing along and you realize you put audio channel 1 from the
    source footage into the timeline, and you actually meant to put audio channel 2,
    but you don't realize this until 20 edits later, what's the fastest way of
    fixing this?
    I know you can match frame the clip that's there in the timeline, now the source
    footage from which the audio came is in the viewer, and and you re-insert the correct audio channel. However, some editing systems give you the ability to just swap the source channels in a key stroke or two.
    Is there any faster way to accomplish this in FCP?
    Thanks.

    You can do it in just a few keystrokes with match frame. Just patch it the way you want, match frame and overwrite. That's 2 keystrokes since when you match frame FCP automatically marks the IN and OUT. Obviously this is a bit more difficult if you have a lot of split edits..

  • Duet and Guitar Rig 3 kontrol Edition

    I recently purchased Guitar Rig 3 Knotrol Edition to use with Duet and I am in the process of setting it up. Can they both work together or do I have to disconnect Duet? After installing the software, I see RigKontrol3 in the Apple System Preference panel and in the LogicPro 8 Core Audio panel I also see RigKontrol3. Thank you.
    Carlos

    Sorry for the late post. I have plugged the guitar into a Waves PRS GTR via mic in cannon plug on the Duet, used the L/R audio outs to a power amp/cab for live audio and can still use the Guitar Rig controller via USB to make preset/effects changes. Also with this set up I can record to Logic, power down the amp and use headphones. Still experimenting with different configurations and other software gtr appz.

  • Will my insert effect be recorded to the audio track or not?

    I'm seeing conflicting information about this, but have done a couple of rudimentary tests and it seems that when I add, say, a compression effect on an audio track insert for guitar that it doesn't actually record it. I get only the guitar's original source input even though I can hear the effect when recording. Am I limited to applying effects like this only after the recording is done???

    if you use audio object (audio tracks) with software monitoring you will not record destructive audio. instead logic just records the dry signal and routes through the insert.
    if you use audio input objects with inserts your audio is recorded destructively.
    ease your mind and check the manual for your conflicting information bouts.

  • Guitar Rig 2.2 as a plug in?

    Does Garageband support plugins? If so, does anyone know if it will support Guitar Rig 2.2 and if so how do I make this happen?

    GarageBand will load any standard AudioUnit plugin. Guitar Rig 2.2 has an Audio Unit version which works perfectly (I tried it, it's awesome). To use Guitar Rig, double-click a track to bring up the info pane, then click "details", then select Guitar Rig in the plug-ins list. Done! In fact, you can use Guitar Rig on multiple tracks in GB which is awesome.

  • Audio Tracks Out of Sync?!

    I opened up one of my projects today and started playback and everything was all over the place, out of sync.
    the project consists of acoustic guitar, electric guitar and two vocal audio tracks plus a b4 organ track and an ultrabeat drum track.
    i shuffled things around to get them back to normal, moving my audio regions around a bit until it sounded right. i ended up messing pretty much everything up so i used the command to move all audio regions to original location.
    the drums were still out of sync and off tempo, even. i wondered if i had messed with the tempo and not remembered so i started playing with it trying to get it to match.
    i quickly discovered that if i adjust the tempo at all, my audio tracks/ regions fall out of sync again. this makes no sense to me whatsoever, and i'm kind of worried i may have a corrupt project or something.
    does anyone know what this may be and how to fix it????? thanks.

    X-man is correct. This behavior isn't unique to Logic either.
    Let's say your sequence is at 60 BPM. That's 1 beat every second. You record 4 tracks, each with an individual hit of a drum and nothing else:
    Track 1: Kick on beat 1 - heard at zero seconds
    Track 2: Snare on beat 2 - heard at 1 second
    Track 3: Kick on beat 3 - heard at 2 seconds
    Track 4: Snare on beat 4 - heard at 3 seconds
    Now you change the tempo to 120 BPM. That's 1 beat every 1/2 second. Because you've got these individual sounds recorded on separate tracks, their playback will occur more quickly. In fact, twice as fast:
    Track 1: Kick on beat 1 - heard at zero seconds
    Track 2: Snare on beat 2 - heard at 1/2 second
    Track 3: Kick on beat 3 - heard at 1 second
    Track 4: Snare on beat 4 - heard at 1 1/2 seconds
    This is not time compression. Changing the tempo from 60 to 120 simply causes the individual recordings to play back sooner relative to bar 1/beat1. In this case, half as much time elapses between the playback of each sound.
    IT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY if this kick/snare pattern is contained in a single audio recording, because the spacing of the kicks and snares is frozen in time within the recording.
    Let's say you record kick/snare/kick/snare as a single piece of audio at 60 BPM...
    a) if the recording is made at bar 1/beat 1, no matter what the tempo of the sequence is changed to at a later time, this recording will be always be 'anchored' at bar 1 beat 1.
    b) if the recording was made at bar 4/beat 1 (that's 4 seconds in from bar 1, beat 1) and then you change the tempo to 120 BPM, the timing of the drum sounds in the recording won't move relative to one another, but what will move is WHEN IN TIME that recording is triggered to play back. In this case, doubling the tempo is going to make that region trigger still play back on bar 4, but you get to bar 4 twice as fast at 120 BPM than you do at 60 BPM!! So the region will play back after 2 seconds have elapsed (from bar 1).
    HOW TO GET AROUND THIS:
    There's a key command called "Lock Regions to SMPTE Postion" (do a search for "SMPTE" or "Lock" in the key commands window). When you select regions and apply this command they'll be locked at the time of their original recording. This way you could record tracks that don't all start together, like this:
    XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
                YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
          ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
    ...then change the tempo at a later time but NOT have the tempo change affect the position of the regions relative to one another.

  • Core Audio Track Selection ?

    Hi
    In Logic 7 I used to be able click and hold on an audio instrument track in the arrange page and a pop up menu/list of all the audio instrument channels would appear allowing me to choose whichever channel/instrument I wanted. Now in Logic 8 it seems I have to keep adding tracks in order to get to what I want ...
    eg: The last track is Inst6 , but I want to use Inst 24, and the only way I can do it is to keep pressing the "New with next Channel Strip/Intrument" option to get to 24 ..by which time theres also a pile of empty tracks (inst 7-23)which I then have to delete .... Surely its something obvious but I cant find it.
    Also my "Core Audio" option in Inspector is greyed out ?
    Can anybody help ?
    thanks
    Paul

    Press 'control' while clicking on the instrument or audio track you want to change. you get 2 options,
    the first of which is 'reassign track object' - move across and you'll see all the options are there
    available to you.

  • Guitar Rig 4 Essential - small audio waveform on track

    I just got Guitar Rig 4 Essential and when I record a guitar audio track, the audio waveform on the track is very small, although the output volume on the GR4 plug-in window is good. I am also seeing something weird, when playing back in loop mode ( region is highlighted and loop continuously ) the audio waveform disappears after it is played and reappears again after it comes around on the next pass. None of this happens when recording using the built-in amp and effects in Garageband.
    I am using a Macbook, 0SX 10.6, Presonus Firebox.

    That's not the way to do it. There are several approaches to this:
    Bus Recording:
    Route the Audio track with GR4 inserted to a Bus - set the Outs of that Bus to "No Output" - choose a new audio track and select the Bus as an Input - hit record and play.
    Or just record the dry signal of your guitar and set GR4 up in a Bus and route the dry signal to that Bus. This way you can always change the effects after you've recorded.

  • Controlling a plug-in (Guitar Rig 5)---to changes banks and/or presets

    I am trying to control a guitar plugin, Guitar Rig 5, via bank and preset changes---I am going to to this in Abelton and then use Mainstage for some additional sound features not requiring a sequencer.
    I am a single acoustic player and I use Abelton to play a backing track and control my lighting, but I am having trouble figuring out how to setup up Guitar Rig and my MIDI channels apparently.
    I am looking to be able to change from one guitar patch (like a clean sound) to a dirty sound (lead solo) automatically (eliminating the need to do the foot pedal Riverdance while playing live), but I can’t seem to figure this out after two days.  I see the presets in the list, but for the life of me I can’t seem to make this work.
    I dragged the plug in to a newly created "return" and then attempted to create a two new MIDI channels to perform the desired bank and preset changes.  But this did not work.
    I then dragged the Guitar Rig 5 plugin into a newly created "audio" track, and tried to do the same thing, but that hasn't worked either.  Under the "send to" MIDI section I can select "Guitar Rig" from the drop down, but afterward I can not select the box below---which I would think would allow me to select the MIDI channel I want to sent the command for bank changes and preset changes.
    The goal is to have Guitar Rig 5 changing presets automatically, so I can play through a song and at the appropriate time the GR5 plugin would switch from clean channel to distorted---for example, for a lead solo part.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi
    Mainstage will not pass through Program Change messages to plugins. I have not succeded with (quick) attempts to get GR to respond to MIDI CC either.
    You might do better to simply make additional Patches (or combinations of Audio and Instrument Patches) rather than try to control GR5 directly.

  • Why wont logic "recognise" Guitar rig 3 when tracking?!?!?

    Im trying to track some guitars. I have a copy of guitar rig 3 & a line 6 ux1. I normally use Gearbox (the line 6 program) for my guitar sounds but today try to use guitar rig. Logic doesnt "hear" the sound from the program itself, it only hears the plain electric guitar. Because i normally use gearbox, im not sure what im "doing wrong"....

    A loaded insert plugin doesn't record with the signal, it only *plays back* or monitors (only with SWM on) with it.
    If you want to record the effected signal, you'll have to use a standalone AU plugin host with the desired AU loaded, and make that the input source for an audio track in Logic.
    I am not completely sure I understood your problem, so let me know if it helped.
    regards, Erik.

  • All of the inserts in audio tracks have stopped working

    I do get audio input, but the inserts do not work.
    Does anyone know the fix for this?
    Thanks,
    Murray

    I really have no idea what you are doing or what your signal routing looks like, nor do I know how experienced you are with audio software and signal routings in general. What I now think you mean is that you can't monitor your input properly, you cannot hear the signal of the mic? Is that right? Or how did you arrive to the conclusion that none of your plugins work on audio tracks? Have you actually put an audio file on your audio track?
    If you want to hear your input +processed through Logics' plugins,+ you need to enable Software Monitoring - just add its button (with a 'muted speaker' icon) to the transport by rightclicking the transport and ticking *Software Monitoring* on the list. Button grey=off, button green with dot in it=on.
    Of course the channel strip/track you receive the input on should also have an output selected, or you will never hear anything.

  • How to insert audio track?

    how do you insert an audio track into garage band to edit? thanks

    Do you mean bring pre-recorded audio into GB? If so, just drag the file into an open GB Timeline. When you see the green plus sign, drop it.

  • Missing Audio track controls (fader, solo, mute, sends, inserts etc...)

    After doing a "save as project" I ended up with 2 big problems. When I pull the song off the CDR and open it up on my computer the controls for some audio tracks are missing. I lose anything having to do with track control such as input, output, fade, solo, pan, inserts, buses, mute, record. The only thing i can see is the group assignment and automation pull down menus. The other problem i have is that i have to manually relink all the audio files. Why can't the session file find the audio files??? They are all in the audio files folder right next to the session file. Arg. i am running logic pro 7 and the computer that the "save project" was completed on is running logic 6 express 6.4.0.

    I'll take a stab at it.
    Sounds like your parameters are not viewed. In the arrange window menus - there should be a view menu and it allows you select what things to see for each track.
    Maybe view parameters or view channel strip only settings may help.
    Not sitting in front of Logic at the moment.
    May have something to do with goign from L6 to L7,but i'm only guessing on that one.
    hope this helps

  • Audio track missing on timeline when I insert clip from source monitor

    I have the following problem with PP CS6: my media contains two alternate mono tracks (one with the signal boosted as an insurance) and I have PP set up to treat them as two mono tracks, rather than one stereo track. Everything works fine when I drag media directly to the timeline from the project panel. But when I use the source monitor to select in and out points, and then insert the chosen clip into the timeline, only one of the two audio tracks appears on the timeline. Can anyone please explain how to make sure I get both tracks on the timeline via this route?
    Thanks
    DM

    Hi Jim,
    Thanks for replying. Unfortunately this doesn't apply to my case. I've set PP's default behaviour to import as dual mono in Edit\Preferences\Audio. This allows me to drag media from the project panel to the timeline and get two sediscrete mono channels. My problem is that when I go the source monitor route, any clip that I insert does not display two audio tracks on the timeline, just one. I have discovered I can switch the source channel from left to right, which to all intents and purposes fixes my problem, but I would like to maintain the option of getting both channels displayed separately on the timeline if possible.
    Thanks
