Guitar Rig and Projectmix help

Hello everyone! Would appreciate your help on this one:
I have a Guitar Rig 3 (Rig Kontrol Interface)
and an M-Audio Project Mix IO
I could not figure out how to Use GR3 as my IN and Projectmix as my OUT in Logic 7.2.3.
I believe this is an aggregate device thing. Can anybody help me with the steps i have to do to make this setup work? Thank you very much!
p.s.
Running Leopard 10.5.1

Well, I just responded to this in related thread - here is the reply:
Hmmm... I don't Batter but here's what you can with other NI AUs - adapted for your situation.
Open the .lso after Logic has been launched under Rosetta - the PPC AUs should load ( i.e. Battery 2 should load ok ).
Go to Battery 2, save your presets for all your songs.
Relaunch Logic, now native ( rosetta disabled ).
Create a new B3 instance - load the b2 preset in to the Battery 3.
That should cover most of the job.
Cheers,
J
P.S. Of course, work on copies of your work until the transfer has been verified.

Hi there, Klaus1, BDAqua and a brody,
Thank you ever so much for your kind replies! (I tried giving you the 10 pts. of 'Correct Answers' to each of you, but unfortunately it was only possible for Klaus1, so the points were distributed between him and BDAqua even though you were all helpful!)
My next question will naturally be: Is SheepShaver legal? My Google search didn't yield any conslusive proof that it was, nor any that it wasn't, but as the E-Maculation web page seemed quite official and above board I would assume that it is.
The next logical step would be to ask whether it's safe for both HW and SW to run SheepShaver. HW, it appears, is very rarely, if ever, affected by SW settings, so I would assume that hardwarewise, I'm good to go. Could it ruin the kernel of Mac OS X's Unix-based operating system?
Kind Regards,
Stefan

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. "

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!

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.

Portcls.sys and kmixer.sys errors when trying to run Guitar Rig Softw

Help!
I just installed my new copy of guitar rig and I can't run it.
I get one of 2 Blue Screens of death.

Also, when I tried to update my drivers for my SB Li've. I use the driver pack from this site. It starts up then says I don't have a Creative SB li've installed on my system. Even though Device Manager reports it as there and working fine with no conflicts. All my software sees the card as well.
The only thing that doesn't see my Creative Labs SB is the Creative Labs Driver Update. What's up with that?
Hi
SB Li've! does not have ASIO drivers on it's own. Asio4All is a sort of 'generic' ASIO
driver for onboard soundcards and for cards not having ASIO 'support' (A4A driver needs
WDM drivers to been installed (e.g. Windows XP or 2000)). You find more information
'bout ASIO by searching the web (google, ask jeves,...) and 'bout A4A on their site.
'All' Creative card models seems to have problems updating/installing drivers.
I can't say if this issue is related to XP+SP2 (perhaps). In your case the Dell may be
the cause. You need to use drivers / updates from Dell support pages (OEM cards are not
: with original ones).

Bus and Aux and Guitar Rig 3

I am a little new to the whole idea of busing. I am getting Guitar Rig 3 and have read where I need to bus the audio to another track, as I record, to get the recorded effect. The track it is plugged into will get only a clean guitar sound recorded, and I need to bus the output to another track to get the effect recorded.
I read the manual and is it just as easy as selecting an output bus for a track and an AUX track just appears?
Any help would be great.
Thanks
RH

Guitar Rig shows up as an audio unit.
1. Create a new track.
2. Select that track.
3. Look at the leftmost column in the Logic window.
4. Right click on one of the buttons under the text that says "Inserts".
5. Guitar Rig is found under Audio Units->Native Instruments
Then double click the Guitar Rig button whenever you want to change a Guitar Rig setting. I believe that Logic does record the straight guitar track and applies Guitar Rig and any other effects on the fly.

Mainstage/Guitar rig/ midi

Hey all,
So im quite enjoying the pedal board and set up to a midi foot controller. I dragged 4 pedals and routed them to 4 pedals in pedal board.
I do have guitar rig and was wondering if anyone could help me use some of the guitar rig patches in the mix with pedal board so I can use my 4 pedal board stomp boxes and say 2 from guitar rig. So I would have 6 in total. 4 from mainstage pedal board and 2 from mainstage.
any help with routing would be huge.
thanks all!

Hi again,
OK so to map a MS toggle switch to activate an event in a Plug-in like Guitar Rig 4?
- You have Pedalboard as an insert in the channel strip?
- You have Guitar Rig as an insert in the channel strip?
- if so
- selecect the unassigned button in Manstage edit mode
- MS will open the screen control inspector panel below the edit view of your MS edit window
- In the third tab 'unassined' of the inspector you sohould see columns make sure you're looking at the left most col
- You will find the name of the channel strip (guitar-1) or something like that - select it
- The next col will fill with info on the channel strip including the inserts - select Guitar Rig 4- The next col will fill with all the attributes of the Guitar Rig patch you've selected as an insert
- The list will contain all the controllable attrubutes of the componants that mack up the guitar rig patch.
- Select the WAH/ON/OFF or what have you.
- Now the switch in MS will control the ON/OFF state of the WAH efect in that Guitar Rig patch.
The same process works for rotary knobs so you can have MS contol the ON/OFF function and allow you to adjust say the Gain and Tone of your choosen Guitar Rig effect. Obviously you can use for Amps/effects/Cabs/and even Tapdeck etc.
Once you have a channel strip set up and your happy with the layout of MS you can save the channel strip and use it in Logic and vise versa - so I have started a library when my guitar and bass patches are channel strips.
This is because I mix up componants of the various Plig-ins I have say - Pedelboard => Ampdesigner => Guitar Rig 4 => Amplitube 3 => and Redwirez as a single 'patch'. So playing live I use the appropriate 'patch' strip in MS and when recording the I use same 'patch' strip in Logic.
Have fun!

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'.

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.

GTR ? Guitar Rig glitches in Mainstage

I am running mainstage for all my live guitar sounds without an amp or any back up (brave!!).
Im using an Edirol UA-25 and in Mainstage 2.1.1 using the built in amps / space designer / gtr / guitar rig and Roland FC-300 as my midi foot controller. Its working pretty well although sometimes my CPU does max out if im stupid and scroll through patches too quickly or try and run too many different plug ins on one channel.
One particular problem that Im having that I cant figure out is that sometimes, when I change patches, some of the effects that are open in the previous patch still sound like they are on. For example I change from a patch that is running GTR with a reverb pedal to a patch that is fairly dry sounding with no reverb and just an amp on and yet the reverb still stays on, it then stays on permanently so all my patches have added reverb.
Has anyone encountered this problem before or have any idea how I might fix it?
Many thanks

In Edit mode, in the Screen Control Inspector, check you parameter value settings for patch changes "On Patch Change:" and make sure you have them set correctly. You might be inheriting settings made from the previous patch?
Also, I recommend using some of the other reverbs (silver, platinum, or gold) as they use a lot less resources, and in a live room setting you may not notice a great deal of difference.

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.

Guitar Rig 3 and Duet

I am trying to get Duet and Guitar Rig 3 v3.2.0 and Logic Pro 8.0.2 to work together. After selecting Guitar Rig3 in the Insert slot of the channel strip and enabling record, I am able to hear the guitar through the monitors but there is no GR3 sound effect. The GR3 Global Header does not display any in or out activity. But upon play back, I hear the GR3 effect on the guitar track.
I have been adjusting so many settings, I am afraid I might have set something along the way incorrectly - Perhaps in Maestro or in Logic Preferences? Also should Input Monitoring be selected? To make things simple, I unplugged the USB connection to the GR3 foot pedal. That will be a different project for another day. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
software monitoring must be On in logic
Input monitoring must be off in maestro...
about your plugin (Guitar rig) ask ti NI support if you have priblem)

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!!

Clicks and pops when running Mainstage 2 with Guitar Rig 5 in Mavericks.

**I've read that this may be unsolvable but I hope someone can help me**
Hello everyone,
I very recently upgraded to the new Macbook Pro 15" Retina as my 2010 Macbook running Snow Leopard is on it's way to Apple heaven. This means I am now on Mavericks and **** is ******, it's my fault for not upgrading sooner so I am to blame in some respects. Here is my issue.
My set up is fairly basic:
Mainstage 2.2.2 (I can't upgrade to 3 as the synths we use are not 64bit compatible.. another nightmare due to my lack of upgrading in the past)
Axiom 64 MIDI controller via USB
Guitar Rig 5 controller via USB (audio interface)
In Mainstage we have the L output for virtual instrument parts and the R output for guitar parts. These are globally panned L and R.
The L output from Mainstage goes through the Guitar rig footcontroller out the L output through a DI and then to the mixing desk. The R output goes through the Guitar rig controller out the R output and straight to the guitar amp. Simple way to do both keys and guitar.
We never had any problems with this in Snow Leopard. With Mavericks this setup is unusable due to the clicks and pops shooting through the guitar amp. It doesn't matter whether the voume on the guitar itself is turned up or down it's still all "click POP.. CLICK pop pop click" Mainstage just seems to be sending these pops regardless if anything is being played or not.
When I ran the same session through my Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 there was no popping on the virtual instruments so I'm thinking it could be a guitar rig issue.
Can anyone help me with this? I'm sure a lot of people are finding the same thing... **** I know a lot of people are getting the pops without guitar rig involved. For now I'm going to continue to use my old Macbook but I'd LOVE to have the new one running smoothly!
Thanks a lot!
