Guitar Rig 3 problems :(

I am using an iMac with 2Gb RAM and 1.83 dual Intel processors that hasn't had any problems before, and now when using GR3 (Rig Kontrol edition) on a number of tracks in Logic Pro 8, for no apparent reason, I am getting loads of pops, clicks, etc. when recording. If I record a guitar part without it then put it on the track with GR3 on, the clicks, etc. don't appear - only when I record using GR3. There are not loads of tracks playing, around 8.
I have a Metric Halo Mobile I/O ULN-2 and have the Rig Kontrol connected simply by USB and use the MH as the soundcard.
Does anybody have any idea how to get round this? GR3 sounds so much better than Guitar Amp Pro (for what I want) but I can't really use it
Oh, I record in 24-bit, 44.1Khz. 128 buffer size (although tried at a number of settings to fix this). Software monitoring. Medium process buffer range. Not sure if anything else might help identify the problem!
Any help welcome!

I would start by trying the i/o 2 with garageband in another user account to find out if it's a local or global problem.
Then with the alesis plugged in make sure that all your settings in the audio/midi setup utility are correct for the device.
A class compliant device means if they build the interface to a agreed upon spec it will be recognized and be able to use the apple driver (core audio). It did work because you were able to use it and change it's function when making it part of aggregate device.

Guitar Rig/Monitoring Problem

I'm running the newest version of Locic Express and I'm having a bit of trouble. I have a guitar hooked up through the GuitarPlug device, which gives me zero latency...which is great except that I can't hear it when I'm recording with it. How do I monitor a track that I'm recording in?
I have the GuitarPlug running the guitar's audio signal into the Mac through USB. I also have those nice Bose USB speakers/sub plugged in through a USB on the back of the Mac. I've tried using it in GarageBand with Monitor turned on and I can hear my guitar just fine. I figured I would just have to click a switch somewhere in Logic on the track to enable monitoring of the track I want to record my guitar to. Can't seem to find it though.
On top of that, I can't get GuitarRig to even recognize my GuitarPlug. Under Outputs it lists my Bose Speakers, which is correct. However, under Inputs it says there's nothing connected. I've tried unplugging the GuitarPlug and rebooting, but nothing seems to let GuitarRig recognize the instrument. What am I doing wrong? I'm so used to Ableton Live that Logic is driving me CRAZY!!!

Dunno, I don't have Guitar Rig. Does the manual cover it's installation? Try asking over on the NI forums as well...
ALso, if you are using a different audio device for input and output, you may need to setup an aggregate device in the AMS, then select that aggregate device in Logic as your audio driver.

Guitar Rig/ Rig Kontrol problems in Logic Studio

I have recently upgraded from Logic Pro 7 to Logic Studio. I never had any problems until the upgrade but now my Rig Kontrol 2 refuses to work claiming...
"The device 'RigKontrol2' could not be set up by the driver. This can be caused by bad USB connections or insufficient power on the bus."
I am using a USB direct from the back of the mac (and tried new leads) and have updated the drivers to the very latest version but nothing is working. I can still see Guitar Rig as an option amongst my inserts but as soon as I plug in the RigKontrol then ALL of my inserts blank out and no sound is output at all.
Any ideas anyone?
Many thanks Nick.

My only idea (and this comes from being an owner of Guitar Rig 2 w/ the Rig Kontrol for ALMOST two years now) is that the Rig Kontrol is a faulty piece of equipment. . . period. I regret purchasing it more than any purchase I've probably ever made. It was so faulty w/ Logic 7 and Pro Tools that I was like, screw this, and put it away in a closet and have never touched it since. The GT2 software is FANTASTIC. . . don't get my wrong, I love my Guitar Rig software, but the Rig Kontrol is a piece. NI's support for it is pretty poor too. It's probably just some kind of issue between Logic 8 and Rig Kontrol, however, try going into Audio/MIDI setup and getting it to recognize through there.
My advice would be to just ditch the Rig Kontrol.

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!

Problem with Guitar Rig 5

I recently installed Guitar Rig 5 for use on Pro Tools 11. The next time I went to open Premiere Pro CS6, it stalled (and has every time since) when it gets to the part where it loads "Guitar Rig 5.VST". I never tried to load GR5 into Premiere or make it have anything to do with it and I am not sure why this is happening. Any ideas to get it to open?

you will need to find that guitar rig 5.vst file and rename it to something like .bak or .old then premiere should ignore it and be able to load up. after that you can tell premiere not to look there anymore in the settings, and rename the file back to .vst
Audiounit/VST plugins not appearing in Premiere Pro CC
if you want premiere to use some third party vst's and it keeps crashing when scanning default locations, can try to configure premiere to use another location and copy the vst's you want there, or reverse, install guitar rig to its own location and have pro tools look there.

The plug-in named "Guitar Rig" isn't available on your system.

Hi, I have recently upgraded from a powerbook G4 to an iMac i7. I my new iMac, I bought the new version of Guitar Rig 4 and installed it. On my old Powerbook G4 I had Guitar Rig 3 installed. My problem is, when I open a Garageband file (ones that utilized effects from Guitar Rig 3) from my old mac on my new i7 GB gives me the message "The plug-in named “Guitar Rig” isn’t available on your system". Shouldn't the guitar rig 3 plugin effects I used on my old mac work fine as guitar rig 4 effects on my new mac? Since they obviously don't, is there a way to import my guitar rig settings and plugins from my old mac to my new one so I won't lose the GR3 effects that I used on my Garageband in my old mac? Please let me know if there is a way to do this, as it would be a huge pain to go through all my garageband files and re-tweak the plugins to get the same sounds I had on my old mac. Thank you very much for any help you can give.

no way I know of other than install GR 3 on the new one too.

Guitar Rig and Third Party Controllers

For Guitar Rig users
I bought the Behringer FCB1010 MIDI foot controller to replace the limited Rig Kontrol. I have programmed it and it works great with Guitar Rig
I also run Guitar Rig as a plug-in in Garage Band and I can record real instrument tracks with Guitar Rig effects. However under this scenario the Guitar Rig software doesn't respond to the FCB's commands which doesn't allow me to use the expression medal or change any effects during the recording. The GarageBand MIDI indicator does flash when I step on the controller however the sound isn't getting over to Guitar Rig.
I'm very frustrated it over this. Can someone help?
Thanks
JG

I think your interpretation is correct. When you get GR you'll find that it has a Learn function so that you can pass to it whatever codes you want. I was actually able to setup several effects on/off parameters, switch GR presets within a bank, the two expression pedals.
When I run GR in GarageBand the GR plug in doesn't respond to any of the commands from the FCB.
Here is what NI's suppport person sent to me:
"the problem occurs due to a Garage Band limitaion which makes the send midi function nearly unusable.
If you plug in Guitar Rig FX on an audio track you cannot send midi to it. And If you use it as an audio instrument you could send midi to GR, but because Garage Band does not support a sidechain function of audio instruments, you cannot record audio. To record audio you need to use the FX version of GR (same as in Logic), but you cannot send midi to an FX in Garage Band.
This is defenitely a big limitation of this host sequencer. "

You recently updated iTunes to v.11.4? This message has popped up on many a Mac screen when this version was first made available, because this kext was obviously faulty.
You should try to download iTunes 11.4 again from Apple's website: the new version bears the same name, but this kernel extension has been updated, and the issues it was causing are now a thing of the past.
Should solve your problem, too...

Guitar rig clips on playback

Hi there,
Been using Logic for years. Just got Komplete 7 and everything is beautiful, except one thing.
When I have Guitar Rig 4 being used as an amp processor on either bass or guitar tracks, it clips Logic everytime I stop and start the playhead.
I've tried everything, no problem on the source audio file when the plug in is disabled. No problems when playing back the whole audio file, just when I start and stop.
Any ideas,
Cheers.

Hey man,
Thanks for the response, but yes, I've tried multiple different buffer settings, even tried different sample rates and bit depths just to see what happened.
It's bizarre, like I said, the clipping only happens when Guitar Rig is in the playback signal chain.
I've even purged all unused samples form Battery and other Sampler instruments in my session.
It's really annoying because all the other N.I plugs are great and work fine.
I did find an exact same problem on another forum but no resolution was offered, simply turn off the plug in.
Thanks anyway.

Guitar Rig 2 - HELP PLEASE!!

Alright brothers, I know this is the Logic forum, I don't doubt that for an instant. But when a company with the reputation for quality such as native instruments drops the ball on offering the simplest bit of gratitude for purchasing their product - tech support - I decided to turn to my bros here in the Logic Forum . ..
I just got Guitar Rig 2 earlier today. I set it all up, installed the software, registered it, installed all the necessary drivers, installed the two update off the Native Instruments website, and still I have immense problems with this promising device.
In the standalone mode, GT 2 shows that it is receiving no audio input whatsoever from Rig Kontrol 2 (yes, I have the input gain turned up on RK2). . . however when I move the expression pedal and click the stomp boxes, everything works as it should. When i switch patches, I get the appropriate buzzes from overdrive boxes through my monitors.
When I switch to using it as a plugin in Logic, it receives input just fine, and Rig Kontrol does what its supposed to do. However, I do not get any output from my monitors. However, all other audio that is NOT related to Guitar Rig works fine. In order to get monitoring while using it as a plugin, i have to plug my headphones into the back of Rig Kontrol, or run the line outs from Rig Kontrol into my monitors directly.
While i am getting no input signal at all in the standalone version, I at least get some kind of buzz or hum indicating that if it DID get input, i would be able to hear the results through my monitors.
Also, in standalone mode, when I go to preferences, it doesn't allow me to select Rig Kontrol as the input device. . . nor does it offer the option. I am totally perplexed. . . and there's no one at Native Instruments. . . (no joke, that's what they said when I called about 30 times today)
If ANYONE knows how to make GT 2 fully funtional, please help! Thanks guys.

Having just installed GR2 on my MacBook Pro (17") I was apalled at the results I got. Stuttering audio and then completely packing in, unable to find it in Logic Pro as either a plug in or an instrument. I hopped along to the Native Instrument website and was very disappointed with the lack of drivers for the new Intel based Macs and poor support from NI.
It appears that this issue has been going on for many, many months. Most of the other applications I use (Reason, BFD) sorted the issues fairly quickly and I cannot believe that NI still have not come up with the goods. It is quite interesting that they are about to do a tour in America of GR2 on the Mac when all new Macs are now Intel based. My guess is that they have sorted the issue but in a diabolical show of contempt for their customers they have not made it available to us.
NI posted this on their web site "Nearly all NI products are fully compatible with the new Apple Mac X OS 10.4 operating system without the need to install any NI update. While upgrading to Mac OS 10.4, we recommend choosing the installation type "Upgrade Mac OS X"
This does not appear to be true and I believe NI have misinterpreted GR2. The update is stated to be ready by October 2006. I am not holding my breath!!

Guitar rig sounds different

Hello,
I recently bought the new Mbpr witht he newest software. Now the problem is that the quality of the sound when recording in garageband is alot worse than it used to be. I use guitar rig 5 with it and I have it set up correctly to the track but even though I am using the same exact sound from the rig, it sounds pretty plain and dull and lacks lower EQ on garageband compared to standalone, where it sounds great. I also didin't have this problem with the earlier version of garageband. I couldn't hear difference in that version of garageband and standalone. I have turned off all the EQs and stuff but no help there. Is there any way to make sure garageband has no effect on my input from the guitar rig or is there nothing I can do? Also is it possible to get the eralier version of garageband? Id like to get back to recording so any info on this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Are you using Guitar Rig AU plugin?
Have you tried different master track presets?

Guitar Rig & Studio Devil not showing up in GB '09

I have been using Guitar Rig and Studio Devil in GB for a couple of years now. Since upgrading to GB '09 these do not show up in GB at all. I can use Guitar Rig as a stand-alone app without a problem. I just can't access the AU plugin from within GB. Anyone else having this problem?

Never mind. I found the answer here. The interface has changed quite a bit so it took some diggin'.

Using Native Instruments' Guitar Rig 4 as a VST Plug-in

Hello,
Does anyone know how to get Native Instruments' Guitar Rig 4 to work as a VST plug-in? I scanned the containing folder for the plug-in and Audition said it was active, but when I scroll through effects and selct VST, but when I try to select Guitar Rig 4 it is grayed and I can't select it. What, if any, are some solutions to this problem? Thanks for any assistance provided.

As far as I can make out (although it's hard to tell from their website, which is less than forthcoming) Guitar Rig is a VSTi, not a VST and as such, you need music software to run it, not Audition - which is an editor.

Guitar Rig plays in stereo, but will only record in mono.

Hi, I hope this is something simple. Here is my dilemma:
I open Guitar Rig and am using a preset where there are multiple amps and effects panned to the left and right channels. I hear it in stereo fine when playing and even when recording, I can physically see it recording in stereo. However when I hit stop, all the data on the bottom channel disappears, and I only get one channel. I have the track monitor ON and set to Stereo 1/2 (Presonus Firebox (1848)).
I'm obviously doing something wrong here. Can anyone put their finger on what it is I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance!
Ray

"What usually would happen is that your mono guitar would be recorded to a mono track and you would use a stereo effect. Even though you're imputing a mono signal it is being sent to a stereo out."
Thats kind of what's happening here. Guitar Rig 4 is what is creating the stereo affect of one amp in the left and a different amp in the right. I can hear them fine when I'm playing, but when I hit record, I see it recording in stereo (an upper and lower group of sound waves) but when i hit Stop, the bottom group disappears, and Im left with only one amp sound and no stereo. I guess the problem might be with Guitar Rig 4 and not GB.

Using guitar rig in logic -9 but not getting same sound....

Hey fellow logic users
Ok heres the problem ( cut to the chase ) I am hooking up my guitar directly to the audio box direct to input 1 I have guitar rig in my plug in section now when i play the song and want to play along It comes out clean, but when i press record enable it plays like the guitar rig sample i created then when i press the space bar to start playback to practice it it plays clean but then whe i record it comes out slightly not the way it sounds when not recording I hope this is understandable lol : ) what do I need to do to make what I sound like in the guitar rig while rehearshing it so it comes out the same and not clean. I put the playback knob on my audio box in the middle so i can hear the drums bass e.t.c aong with the guitar but still no dirty sound during rhearsal before recording Thanks

Check under the audio menu options that "auto input monitor" or something like that, is enabled.
