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 updating Logic Studio

Hey there all,
I have been having a problem updating Logic Studio 9. My purchased version is 9.0 (full, not upgrade) and I tried to update to 9.1 a while ago. When I did it, I got this very strange error message that said there was a system error of some sort. This of course sent me in to a panic, however my system itself seems to be stable, so I can only assume this is a problem with the updated software.
Eventually, I deleted the updated software (which left 9.0 on my system), and since then (this was a WHILE ago), I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out what to do to be able to update the software. I can't tell you how many times I have uninstalled, reinstalled, and re-uninstalled the original disks. I just can't get the software updater to recognize that I uninstalled 9.1 so that I can re-download the software update. And for god know what reason, I am not able to connect to the downloads server to get the upgrade.
Can anyone tell me where/how/if I can fix this?? Logic 9.0 keeps crapping out on me. I'd like to have access to my songs, etc.

hi, Colpanique.
A couple of ideas. Is your OS up to date? Are you running SL? It's better for LP9 than Leopard. Is LP9 registered?
Software updates sometimes have a proapp u/date. This is for Logic/final cut etc. If they aren't on your system, the later LP u/date might not install.
Another reason why LP 9 caps out is ram. I have LP8, and I know 9 requires more ram. 1G is at the low end, and might be insufficient for the OS and LP9. Run out of ram and the app will crash. This true if you load samples or drums etc,
If LP 9 isn't registered, the apple server won't let you get 9.1. I tried, as I wanted to go from 8 to 9 and bypass the bugs in LP 9.0. 9.1 is more stable.
Anyway, hope thsi is of some help. Good Luck. Scorpii Pirates.

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, MBox interface with Logic

I am using Guitar Rig with their foot pedal as input for my Guitar. I want to use my MBox for output control because the foot pedal only has a volume control which has to be manually manipulated and is inconvient to get at. I can see output in the Logic panel but get no sound. I was told I need to use a "bus" to interface with the MBox. I am a neophyte and really could use some help.

It's actually best in my experience to just forget abou the RigKontrol. GR runs fairly solid until then.

Problem Upgrading Logic Studio to 9.1.1 From 9.0.2

I was on Snow Leopard with Logic Pro with version 9.0.2. I upgraded to Lion (big regrets but that's whole different story) bottom line is that version 9.0.2 no longer runs. I get a pop-up window that says "You Can't Use this Version...". Not a big one, so I go ahead and download the latest Logic Pro 9.1.1 and try to install. But It won't install. It says "Your Computer Does Not Need This Upgrade". I don't know what to do next. Is there a resource file that I need to trash or what would you suggest?
Thanks!

Got it. Found similar postings with the solution. I'll re-stated it just to save anyone running into this post a bit of search time.
1. Go to the Application folder. Find the Logic Pro application and edit the application name. Get rid of the numbers and spaces if any. Just leave it as Logic Pro.
2. Re-attempt to install 9.1.1 this time it worked for me -well, sort of. It turns out that 9.1.1 is also no compatible with Lion.
3. Launch the Software Update application and updgrade to the latest version. For me it was 9.1.5.
All seems well.
Thanks.

Anyone using Guitar Rig 2 in Logic?

I'm having trouble getting GR 2 to work in logic. It works fine as a stand alone but does not work in logic! If anyone can advise me on what I might do to rectify this problem I could sure use it. It's holding up a studio project and I'm not getting much help from Native Instruments support.

Hmmm, I dunno-the concensus in the NI GR forum is the
same? Is it just the driver that's bad or did the
patch fix it?
Hi Justin,
May be you could give me a blow by blow discription of how to make this piece of S**t work. I am still getting no input into logic, I can hear the metronome but no imput from the strat at all.
Here's what I'm using:
G5 duel 2 gig processor
Dididesign 192 digital interface
Mackie digital console DXB 200
the AU version of guitar rig 2 loaded
logic version 7.1.1
OPEN AUDIO CHANNEL - load plug-in guitar rig
I have tried..... out of the guitar into pedal board, then out of the pedal board into the Console - NOTHING
Out of the guitar straight into the console - NOTHING
It does work as a stand alone through the console but so does everything else except guitar rig, but not in Logic!
Here's the really wierd part you can hear the metronome when the audio channel is armed and record is going - Still no guitar input at all.
Am I just doing something stupid? is the AU version not working? Do I need to load the VST? and help from you is always Greatly Appreciated, this is killing me time wise.
Thanks again guys,
Mark

Logic Studio, MacBook pro, M-Audio ProFire 610, M-Audio Axiom 61

I'm just about to get the above: Logic Studio, MacBook Pro, M-Audio ProFire 610 and the M-Audio Aziom 61, and want to know if any of the above (Logic Studio and MacBook Pro excluded) are a big mistake. I've been using an Aluminium Powerbook 17" 1.33MHz, and M-Audio MobilePre USB, and an Edirol controller, with guitar rig (and Controller), and Logic Express 7.
I need a set-up that will work as well in the studio, as it does on stage. We tend to plug everything in to the powerbook at the moment, and use Reason to power the synths, guitar rig for the guitars and bass, and logic express plugins for vocals etc.
Anyone have any experience with any of the above?
Cheers,
Adam

Hi Zuelito,
Please read my first paragraph again:
"I gotta RESPECTFULLY take issue with every point you bring up about M-Audio stuff, Zuelito..."
I'm not sure how you can be "slightly put off by the tenor" of my post given everything I said, with the one possible exception being my line about MOTU making crappy hardware - and that was based on personal experience. And while we're talking about the opinions of others, feel free to peruse the Unicornation board - it's full of MOTU users talking about firewire port failures and other hardware issues - so it appears neither of us is alone in our experiences
Seriously, if I was in some way brash or offensive in the way my post came off, I publicly and sincerely apologize. I really try to think about what I say (and how I say it) when posting on the 'net, for this very reason. I thought I simply stated my experience in an informative manner; again, please re-read my post - I hope it comes across as intended.
For what it's worth, I will say (even more clearly) that I've always loved MOTU products in terms of feature set; maybe that's why I've owned almost every product they've ever made! However, in my environment, I simply can't risk hardware failures, and their stuff has let me down too many times to keep rolling the dice. I will also divulge that one of their top tech support guys has acknowledged the firewire port problem. That's a shame, because they do make great stuff, conceptually. I really wish I could take a chance on that new 896mk3, but it ain't gonna happen for me; 6 dead firewire ports is enough of a failure rate for me to give up on them. To be fair, this probably isn't an issue for fixed installations, but I have to make these connections daily while on tour.
Also, I did NOT categorically state that "M-Audio stuff is better than MOTU." Again, if you re-read my post, it should be obvious that all I'm saying is I have a newfound respect for M-Audio, as of the new ProFire series. I also said in my first paragraph that I shared your opinion of M-Audio for a long time!
If this were all about M-Audio's 410 vs. MOTU's Ultralite (or other competition), we probably wouldn't even be having this discussion as I would have agreed with you - but the original poster specifically asked about the newer 610 with Logic, which is what I'm using on one of my rigs. I simply offered my personal experience.
As for drivers, I've not had any problems with M-Audio or their level of support. Just the opposite - they really seem to be on the ball and are way more communicative than other mfrs. I don't know of any other mfr. that supports each OS subrelease in detail like they do, and their development speed seems as fast (if not faster) than anyone else.
Finally, until now I've only owned a few M-Audio pieces (410, 1814), but I can state that they've been flawless. Their audio quality was not 'high end' by any stretch, but I only used them for utility purposes (writing rigs on the road, etc.). Like I said, my main studio stuff has been RME or Apogee for years, and that's the quality level I'm used to - which is why the 610 really surprised me. I also have several friends who do a LOT of touring, many of which rely on M-Audio hardware (mostly 410s). One guy's unit doesn't even have any paint left on it from road abuse - but it still works like a champ after 4 years.
So anyway, this is all just my experience. Hope it doesn't come across as anything but that
Peace,
Jim

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'

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!

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 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.

Logic Express don't find Guitar Rig

Hello,I am using Logic Express for Intel based MacBook Pro, but it does'n find my Guitar Rig, actually sometimes it find G.R. and sometimes don't.... so I moved my "GuitarRig 2.component" from components folder to desktop and then moved again to components folder and it works .... why ?

I had this problem too. Just move the GuitarRig.component file from:
\Library\Audio\Plug-Ins\Components\
to:
\YourHomeFolder\Library\Audio\Plug-Ins\Components\
and restart Logic.
Let me know if this helps you!
