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!

  • Logic Pro can't find Guitar Rig 5

    I just downloaded Guitar Rig 5 Pro, and I have activated it. But I can't seem to find it in Logic Pro. It's not under I/O and AU instruments. I have Kontakt 5 and Reaktor 5, but Guitar Rig is not there.  Doesn't Guitar Rig have any library and sounds?
    I only bought Guitar Rig to get different types of guitar sounds.
    Guitar Rig is in the correct folder, named .components. When I try to rescan Guitar Rig is listed as Guitar Rig 5 FX and Guitar Rig 5 MFX. Still can't find Guitar Rig in Logic Pro.
    I'm able to open Guitar Rig 5 as a stand alone, but not able to play any sounds. I don't play guitar, I only have a MIDI-keyboard.
    Have Logic Pro 9.

    No.. GR5 is a Guitar Amp emulator... You can take an electric guitar instrument like those found in Logic Pro's instrument plugins.. and then put GR5 in an effect slot and select various different effect presets to create the sound of different guitar sounds.. like Heavy Metal or Blues guitars.. or emulations of sounds from famous guitar solos....
    You still have to play your keyboard to 'play' the guitar but with careful practise you can get pretty authentic sounding guitars to add to your songs....
    I made a quick demo a while ago using some of the guitar instrument presets in LPX along with the effects created in GR5

  • GB  Cannot Find Guitar Rig Plugin

    After using Migration Assistant to bring my system to the G5 Quad from my old G4, Guitar Rig starts up fine running standalone. However, GB cannot see the plugin. The GuitarRig.component file is in Library/Audio/Plugins but GB does not list it as an effect. Thanks for any help!
    Guitar Rig version is 1.2.1

    I'm not familiar with Guitar Rig, but I never trust the Migration feature of Mac OS (Forgive my Blasphemy, Leader). I wonder if there are some needed support files that weren't transferred.
    Did GR come with an Installer? If so, the first thing I would do is try installing GR from the original CD/DVD, or D/Led file if it was an online purchase.

  • I can't see Guitar Rig inside of Logic

    I'm trying to get GR working in Logic Express. I did the customized install for the Audio Units setup. When I go to Modify the guitar track and select Stereo-> Audio Units - I don't see Guitar Rig FX in there.
    Also if I try to load a GarageBand project that had a track with a GR FX effect I get a message that says: CoreAudio: Plug-in "GuitarRig" not available
    I'm using GR vers 1.2.0.004 and Logic Express 7.01.
    Any help would be appreciated
    JG

    Guitar Rig probably didn't pass AU validation. Go to Logic Express>Preferences>Start Logic AU Manager. If GR is not there, the install is incomplete, install again. If GR is there but unchecked, you should have a message telling you it failed AU validation. You'll probably need an update. You can always check it to force GR to load but you'll be more prone to crashes and you'll get a message every time you boot Logic to tell you you have unvalid AU...

  • 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.

  • How do I change Guitar rig patches when it is a plug in in main stage

    I'm using Guitar Rig (v.3.2.1) inside Mainstage (v.1.0.2). I'm trying to use a midi foot controller (Yamaha MFC10) to change the patches. Pressing the Yamaha foot pedal sends program change information into main stage, but it changes the patches at the top level of main stage. Also, main stage responds to program change on all midi channels and I don't see a way to limit it to just one. What I'm hoping to do is have the MainStage patches respond to one midi channel, and the Guitar rig patches respond to another. Can this be done??

    Hey Burr,
    Okay, I was able to get Mainstage 1 and Guitar Rig 3 talking okay. I'll outline here how I got the two to talk but I probably need a bit more info to address your exact need(s). I've also re-read your posts and I'll take a stab at what I think you might need to do to get set up a little better. The caveat here is that I'm not 100% clear on what you want to do, so apologies if I make assumptions that are a little off
    Since it sounds like you want to do MIDI patches and Guitar Rig patches and you're trying to separate the two, then let's look at that, we can always look at combined patches later.
    So what it kinda sounds like, is that you're thinking about Guitar Rig at the concert level, the best thing is for you to think about Guitar Rig at the patch level. What that allows you to do is to create two different sets within the concert, one for your MIDI patches, and the other for Guitar Rig patches.
    That way, you can navigate to whatever you want (MIDI patch or Guitar Rig patch) and not worry about the MIDI channel separation issue. When you were saying the Yamaha MFC10 was sending program changes for patches at the top level, instead, what you want to think about is using CC's (not PC's) for set and patch navigation and PC's only for direct access to a specific patch.
    So, first program your MFC10 to send 4 different CC's for Mainstage navigation (Set Up, Set Down, Patch Up, Patch Down) e.g. you could use switches 7,8,9,0. Then go into Mainstage at the layout level and map the Set Up, Down and Patch Up, Down icon/switches using the MIDI Learn function. Go into Edit mode and test the navigation.
    Next, create two different sets MIDI and Guitar Rig.
    Then create your MIDI patches in the MIDI set as you normally would.
    Create your Guitar Rig patches within the Guitar Rig set. Create separate Guitar Rig patches using the MFX stereo version of the AU plug in for GR. When the Guitar Rig plug-in window opens, select/edit the patch within Guitar Rig that you want to use. That specific Guitar Rig patch will now be saved in your Mainstage patch. Set up a separate Mainstage patch using a Guitar Rig patch for each of your different patches/songs.
    Now you can go into perform/full screen mode to navigate to each set or patch using switches 7,8,9,0 (if that's what you used) of your MFC10 and that will call up you patch.
    Additionally, if you want to call up a specific patch from MFC10, then program one of your MFC10 switches to send a specific Program Change. Then click on the patch in Mainstage, the Patch Inspector window will open up - now assign that same Program Change number there. Your MFC10 will now call up that specific patch when you press on the switch.
    Now, the next thing is...if you then want to modify or express something WITHIN a Guitar Rig patch. Then you first have to program your MFC10 to set up/send let's say...5 different CC's so let's use 1-5 of your MFC10. We might want to turn on/off different effects for example, or boost a gain, or whatever. In this example, we'll choose turning an effect on/off.
    So program your MFC10, then go into layout mode in Mainstage and assign the stompbox on/off switch by clicking on it, using MIDI Learn, and then pressing your footswitch to learn the CC.
    Go into Edit mode, select your Mainstage Guitar Rig patch, then click the stomp button(s) you just programmed. The parameter mapping section then opens up at the bottom. Choose your Mainstage patch name (appears right under "Parameter Mapping".
    Then the next column (to the right) populates, choose "Guitar Rig 3 MFX", the next column then populates with all the Guitar Rig 3 parameters, select whichever GR3 item you want to control and do the parameter mapping. In my test I chose Skreemer On/Off because I mapped my FCB1010 and Mainstage Stompbox to switch that effect.
    Anyway, if everything was done ok then when you press switch 1 on your MFC10 it will turn the effect in Guitar Rig 3 on and off through Mainstage.
    So now knowing all that, you should be able to map Mainstage and GR to do what you want by just using the same principles.
    Sorry for the long explanation but it's the only way to give you the details...I hope I got what you wanted to do after all that...phew
    Give it a go and let me know if you have any questions.

  • Guitar Presets - Logic Express 7.2

    Is there a place that I can get more guitar presets for logic express without having to buy a plugin prgram like Guitar Rig2. Also, I find that the presets in Garageband sound better than the presets in Logic. Is there something I'm missing?
    Intel iMac 1.83   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   1gb ram

    I don't know of any places to download some, but I do have to agree that I like the sound of the Garageband AMP simulators better than Logic's.
    You could check this forum for some.
    http://logicprohelp.com/
    Or a trick I like to do is to Bus a clean guitar signal to 3 Aux or Bus tracks, then put amp simulators on all three, then blend them all together to where I like it. I got the idea after reading an interview on how Adam Jones of TOOL made his guitar signal. 3 amps with an SM57, a Sennheiser 421, and another mic that they felt they needed, on each cabinet. Here's the article, it's really good for someone who likes producing and engineering.

  • I don't actually own Logic Express, but...

    I don't actually own Logic Express, but I figured this would be a better place to ask my question.
    My question is regarding dither.
    I understand that dither, when it's all said and done, is simply low-level noise to keep truncated bits from sounding like butt when you reduce the word length of a recording.
    Can one, in theory, use any form of consistent noise as a form of a dither signal such as, for example, the gentle hiss of an audio cassette?
    I use this particular example because I happen to love the sound of tape hiss.
    Also, does one need to dither if the bit depth is never changed/reduced/increased if one if editing between two different audio editing programs? I record my tracks using GarageBand and I mix, finalize, etc. using Pro Tools and I add no type of effect or normalizing or anything other than light automation and tasteful mixing. Do I still need to dither even if my Pro Tools mix-down session is set to 44 kHz/16-bit?
    Thanks for any help anyone provides.

    If you're not changing the bit-depth or sampling rate, you do not need to dither.
    Dithering adds a very low level noise signal so as to avoid persistent and predicatble rounding problems but it's not the best way of adding hiss to a recording. If I'm doing a sound effect (perhaps a cassette playing back in a TV scene), I go to my stock library and find cassette tape hiss and add it to the mix (as a separate track). You could just add white noise with a band pass filter with quite high centre but it's not the same - it's just too random.

  • 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.

  • Using Guitar Rig 4 / Amplitube 3 in Logic Pro

    Hi,
    I'm using Guitar Rig 4 and Amplitube 3 as inserts in my Logic 9 projects and all is working fine.
    However neither GR4 or A3 respond to MIDI cc changes from my Apogee GIO foot controller. I've been able to get both products to respond correctly to patch/stompbox changes on the Apogee GIO when used "stand alone".
    It looks like when used as an "insert" the Apogee Gio MIDI cc info is not getting thru - When using Ampdesigner/Pedelboard (which I don't very often) the Apogee GIO MIDI cc functions correctly.
    Is there a way of getting the MIDI CC messages thru to an insert?
    Thanks for you help

    Insert them as "Midi controlled AU" Plugs into an instrument slot, there is an xtra folder for those Plug-Ins and many manufacturers supply these versions.

  • 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'

  • Realtime Playing of Guitar Rig thru Logic: FW800 interface?

    Hi , it would simplify my life so much to be able to play my N.I. Guitar Rig thru logic as a plugin. I'm about to get the G5 Quad and am wondering about the metric halo 2882(which is FW 400) or the fireface 800. is there a better chance of ultra-low latency thru FW 800 ? I've read that people are playing in realtime through logic , a drummer i spoke with said he's plying the BFD plugin in realtime, so that seems pretty promising, but will i be able to do that with a firewire interface? i have Motu 2408 now but i'm selling it to switch to the quad.

    I use GuitarRig all the time and have no latency issues using a Fireface 800. Both the Fireface and the 2882/ULN2 have great and fast converters so there shouldn't be much difference there. However, drivers are the most important. RME's drivers are excellent and the actual hardware does its own metering calculations so you have realtime results in the RME mixer and the host CPU doesn't have to any extra background processing for the driver. I would assume that MH hardware/drivers operate the same way.
    One thing to clarify, though, is that you can sum hardware inputs into the DAW mixer using RME's mixer. It's probably a less intuitive process compared to the MH mixer, but it's functionality still resides in RME's TotalMix software.
    90% of my sessions are recorded at 24/48 and I usually use a 128 sample buffer without noticeable latency. I've even tried 256 and didn't find it noticeable either. For comparison, I perceive the same amount of latency (which is pretty negligable) when playing through AmpFarm on PT HD Accel, and GuitarRig through the Fireface 800 with a 128 sample buffer (both sessions @ 24/48)
    Hope this helps.

  • Some organs don't play in new Logic Express files after JamPacks installed

    After loading only the instruments from the Symphony Orchestra and World Music GarageBand Jam Packs, I lost the ability to hear most of the organs available in Logic Express and all of the organs available in GarageBand after inserting them into Logic Express tracks. These same organ sounds still play in any Logic Express file set up prior to the installation of the JamPacks and they continue to play in GarageBand. Can an uninstall/reinstall of Logic Express 7.2.3 be a fix for this or is there an easier way to return the lost instruments to Logic Express?
    1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Midisport 4x4, iControl

    The loss of instrument sounds in Logic Express had nothing to do with the installation of GarageBand JamPacks. The midi channel setting in the Inspector box of the Arrange window in Logic Express needed to be set to channel 1 to get midi data from other than channel 1 to play some of the inserted CoreAudio instruments. I don't understand what's going on but now I'm able to get the instruments that would not play.
