Guitar Rig 3 Electric Guitar & GarageBand.

Ok i am pretty new to recording music on a mac! All i really want to record some voice and guitar tracks. i have the guitar rig installed and everything but i cant seem to find a way to record using it with GB or With the Software that came with the hardware for that matter please help. Will be forever in-debt to your advice.

hmmmm... is the AU in the proper folder?
HD/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components
Do your other plug-ins work that are in the folder? Something is wrong and it might be something simple... Does the Standalone App work OK? You sound like you're probably "hip" on the whole plug-in thing so I'm not talking "down" to you or anything like that but it has to be something 'eh. I've used GR since version 2 and never had any issues. I'm on a 1st Gen Imac G5 so mine is PPC not intel but maybe someone else can CHIME IN concerning the Intel thing. We'll figure this out or DIE trying! There are some really brilliant dudes in this forum so be patient - they'll troll by soon

Problem with Guitar Rig 4 in GarageBand

Hello everyone, I've got a problem with Guitar Rig 4 in GarageBand (I've got a brand new MBP 2011 received last week, so I've got Lion), when I click on "scan" to import presets, only 5 presets appear : "flicker" "overdriven" "pure rammfire A" and B and C, does somebody know why ? those 5 presets are located in the same folder as all the other presets... I really don't understand
Thank you !

Hey mate,
I've had exactly the same problem for quite some time. But I just found a solution. I signed up here just to share it with you, so I hope it works like it did for me!
So try this:
Go to HD/Library/Application Support/Native Instruments/Guitar Rig 4/Demo DB and copy those 3 files.
Next, open HD/Users/Username/Documents/Native Instruments/Guitar Rig 4/Db and overwrite the files there with the ones you copied.
Voila! Hope it helps!

Problems recording electric guitar in Garageband

I'm fairly new to using Garageband. I have Garageband 09 on my Macbook Pro. I'm playing a Fender Telecaster and a Stratocaster and am going through an Edirol (USB) interface and using Guitar Rig 4 plugins for amp modeling.
I'm running into a few problems that I don't understand how to solve and am hoping someone can offer some help or advice.
First, when going through the Edirol, I notice that the Recording Level setting on the Track Info pane on the far right of the screen is not active. I'm assuming the Edirol interface is over-riding this. Is that normal when using an interface?
I use the input level knob on the Edirol to control the volume when I record (because the Recording Level is not active) and I keep it fairly low (about level 3). When I record the track using a clean guitar sound I watch the meter on the track pane on the left side of the arrange window. I adjust the settings so it never goes into red, and I watch to make sure it doesn't.
Then when I play back what I've recorded, it jumps into the red in a few spots.
I'm baffled by that. Is there any explanation and fix for this?
Also, the recording of the song (with drum loops and vocals on it) has some clicks or sounds like a scratchy phonograph needle. I thought it might be the sound breaking up from distortion, but they don't always correspond to when the meters hit the red zone.
What are these sounds, why are they appearing and how can I avoid/get rid of them?
Lastly, just about every amp setting using Guitar Rig 4 and Garageband's own amp models that have distortion (I use distortion on lead parts at times) have a terrible level of hiss and noise.
I've tried using the noise gate to get rid of it, but, while it silences the hiss and noise when you're not actually playing anything, the hiss is still very present when you are.
Also, if the noise gate is set too high, it kills any sustain. And the hiss is still there anyway when playing, although it's a bit less.
Is there some explanation for this, and any solutions? How can I get rid of this noise/hiss and still have a great sounding lead with sustain?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer any help.

Yes, that's how it works!
When I record the track using a clean guitar sound I watch the meter on the track pane on the left side of the arrange window. I adjust the settings so it never goes into red, and I watch to make sure it doesn't.
It's perfectly fine for the recording level to go into the read, actually that's what you want. Just make sure it never clips (the two little dots at the end of the meter scale lighting up).
Then when I play back what I've recorded, it jumps into the red in a few spots.
I'm baffled by that. Is there any explanation and fix for this?
Recording level and playback level are two different things. The latter depends on how you set your track's volume. Turn it down if it clips (again, red is fine.)
Maybe other people can comment on your distortion problems!

Guitar Rig and Logic Studio

The Guitar Rig that is in MainStage;
How do I insert that into a Logic Studio 8 track?
I'm assuming I'd start with an Audio track as opposed to MIDI.
Just can't seem to locate the Guitar Rig - only Guitar Amp Pro.
Thanks

I picked up the answer;
Create an Audio track in Logic with open library selected.
You will see the mainstage guitar rigs in the library.
Note that they do not appear when creating a software instrument.
For those of you interested - this works fine!

I'm using my electric guitar with GarageBand. With the input/output jack being full of my guitar cord, does anyone know if I can rig a BlueTooth speaker for output? Thanks in advance for any response.

yes this will work
you can also get a splitter cable that goes in to your in/out port so you can have 2 (or more) separate ports

Is it possible to use a cable with two headphone jacks on either end and an electric guitar adapter to record in Garageband?

Hey everyone,
I got my Macbook Air (Mid 2013 model) last month and I want to record my acoustic-electric guitar on Garageband (which came with the Air).
I don't want to buy a guitar that has a USB. I have a cable with a 3.5 mm headphone jack on both ends like the one pictured here on this website http://www.bestdealaz.com/item.php?id=628 (i didn't buy it from this site though).
I connected a 6.3 mm guitar adapter (http://www.ebay.com/bhp/headphone-guitar-adapter) to this cable. Then I connected one end of the cable to my guitar and the other end to the Headphone/Microphone jack on the left side of the MBA.
I saw how other people were saying to go to System Preferences / Sound and then change audio output to audio input.
I can't do that. I tried.
Please help!
Thank you.

Hello Massimo Pascucci,
The issue that you are facing when creating an endpoint with internal loadbalancer is the limitation of not allowing same ports to be listening under a single cloud service. This reason for this is that there is a limitation of only one private IP (Also
known as the Internal load balanced IP) per cloud service.
There is also a limitation on the Internal load balancer more than one port to be published per load balancer:

I'm new using Logic, i've been using garageband for quite awhile now though but my question is just basic. When i want to record electric guitar while clicking the software option it brings me to alot of guitar sounds that i want to chose. I chose the twangy electric or the distorted strat but i only hear clean sounds. No matter what kind of guitar sound i chose in the library it only produces clean guitar. How can i make it sound like it supposed to? Did i miss something i should do?

This definitely has me stumped as I'm unsure as to why your guitar can be heard, but with none of the channel strips plugins applied to the sound.
On the record enabled channel strip that contains your guitar input, is the "I" button located near the "R" active? Also, if you record your guitar, can you hear the FX applied to it when you play back the recorded track?

Need help connecting guitar rig interface to play electric guitar

I am having trouble connecting a guitar rig session interface. Garageband is not recognizing the connection. i have made sure the usb and guitar cables work. i have changed the sound input settings on both the system and garage band. when i plug in my keyboard directly with the usb, garageband recognizes it immediately. i have triple checked all the obvious settings on all devices. It seems that the interface is working, but im having a tough time recognizing it on garageband. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

i reinstalled the guitar rig sessions driver and finally had garageband recognize the device, but still have not gotten input or sound. i have read the manual, but could not locate an answer.

Electric guitar to Macbook (Garageband)

Do I need an intermediate device to connect an electric guitar to my Macbook Pro (2010) 7.1 to learn playin' using GarageBand ?

Ideally you should use an external USB audio interface such as those available from m-audio and FocusRite, but for basic needs you can plug the guitar into the mic-in socket on the MBP. You will need a 1/4" to 1/8" jack adaptor but they're very cheap and easily available.
Here you go:

GarageBand stops recording immediately when using Guitar Rig Session

When I try to record a guitar into GarageBand using my Guitar Rig Session the recording starts, then immediately stops. This happens on a new track, or on an existing track. Everything was fine before I updated GarageBand to the latest version (6.0.4) via the App Store. I also updated to OSX 10.6.8 too. I've tried recording a track in Reaper and it works fine so I doubt it's a Guitar Rig/OSX 10.6.8 issue so I'm suspecting that it's the latest GarageBand version that's to blame. This discussion was the closest thing I could find to raise a support ticket about this. I'll have to switch to Reaper for now but if it's not fixed soon, I may not come back to GarageBand!

Native Instruments say they'll have a fix to make their software work in Lion in September. From what I've heard it only affects them running in 64 bit mode so try Guitar Rig in 32 bit mode if you can. I've switched to Reaper like I said and I'm finding the transition quite easy. Give their demo a try...

NI Guitar Rig Pro 4 as a plug -n for Logic Studio/Garageband?

Hi,
I have Logic 9 and use AmpDesigner/Pboard via an Apogee GIO for both my guitar and bass - Sounds great. However I've just been goofin around with a mate on his Macbook Pro using Native Instruments Guitar Rig 4 with their Control 3 foot pedal - ummm don't wanna say this but that sounds great too! I really like the interface and patch library and some of the presets did sound bloody great to me.
So my question is ...
Is it possible to use NI Guitar Rig v4 in Logic 9 studio/mainstage? as a plugin? maybe mix and match Amp Designer and or Guitar Rig in one song? I'm sure I read somewhere that you could use non Apple plugins in Garageband.
Anyhow
Keep on Pluckin'

I've lost my Guitar Rig as a plug-in in GarageBand

Hello all.
First a bit of background. For various reasons I had to re-install Panther 10.3.9 for the time being after trying to install my new Tiger software. This is until my new internet Router turns up (in a MONTH!, thanks BT..).
The consequences were dire. Had to get re-activation on a lot of my software. One of which was my Guitar Rig software, which Native Instruments have re-activated for me.
Unfortunately, my GarageBand 2.02 software seems to no longer see my Guitar Rig as a plug-in and is giving me a warning that it's not there, and it is telling me to re-install GRig (which I am extremely loathe to do after the days & days it has taken me to get NI to re-register it). This is a bit crippling as its THE major plug-in I use in GarageBand, to record all my guitar parts.
If I'm missing a simple solution or if anyone can help I'd be very grateful.
Thanks.

Could you tell me what the Rewire function is?
http://www.propellerheads.se/technologies/rewire/index.cfm?fuseaction=displaymai n
Quoting the first part of that page:
ReWire is a system for transferring audio data between two computer applications, in real time. Basically, you could view ReWire as an "invisible cable" that streams audio from one computer program into another.
ReWire was developed by Propellerhead Software AB in 1998 and first appeared in Propellerheads' ReBirth RB-338 and Steinberg Soft- & Hardware's Cubase VST, allowing the two programs to communicate in a way that hadn't been possible before. Since then, a version 2 of ReWire has been released, with several significant improvements and additions. Today, a number of software applications from different manufacturers support ReWire.

Iad Camera Connection Kit (USB) + USB Electric guitar + GarageBand for iPad

Hi,
I wonder if the USB Camera Connection will work with an USB Mic or Electric Guitar and if I'll be able to use this with GarageBand for iPad.
Thanks,
M

Hi I have one that looks exactly like the Behringer but in black and made in china. No trademark. It must be the pirated version which I got for $30-$35 USD in Mexico. I connected it through the CCK to the ipad (1) using the newest OS 4.2 or 4.3 and I was able to tune the guitar. I couldn't hear a thing but the notes appeared. Then I was able to record a track but still no sound. I played it back and it came low. I'm still figuring it out, but it seems that it might work.

How to play electric guitar through garageband

Hi,
Macbook Pro mid 2009 running OSX 10.10
GarageBand 10.0.3
I have seen on the internet that it is possible to connect my electric guitar to my Macbook Pro and then use the Amps and effects in GarageBand to produce different sounds and effects from my guitar.
I have tried with a couple of different cables (standard 1/4" with an adapter as well as a Rocksmith USB cable), but GarageBand is not producing any sound.
I have repeatedly checked my input and output Sound settings, the cables, making sure I have the cables plugged in properly, but still nothing.
I've been working on this for a week and I'm stumped!
Help appreciated.
Regards,
Jim P.

You are going to need a USB audio interface. There are so many good ones you can't go wrong with any of the newest big name interfaces. I personally like interfaces that are at least 2 in 2 out with both a ¼" and a XLR input. This way you can record instrument or mic or both at the same time.
