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.

X-FI Xtreme Audio (OEM) problems with Guitar Po

Hey all, I just upgraded from a SB Li've 5. Sound card to an X-FI Xtreme Audio Card and am now having problems with guitar port. There seems to be a delay or lag time from playing to actually hearing the sound. It sounds like its about half a second or so which makes it really annoying for trying to play. Is there a remedy for this or is there something wrong with the card/drivers?Also, is Line in and Mic levels no longer in the windows volume?playback control?

You should be able to control I/Os through Windows mixer(s) and Creative Control Panel (comes with the driver package). If you like to install those software intend for X-Fi you need to download the CD image from BadBoys site (if he still has the site up an running). You get those mixers showing up either through panel which pops up when you enter mmsys.cpl in start->run... prompt (Audio tab, Volume buttons). Individual mixer panels can be called with commands sndvol32 (play) and sndvol32 /r (recording). The lag you have there is normally called as latency. You get rid of it by using ASIO driver mode with 2 - 0ms latency settings. You can set the latency through ASIO controlpanel. If the guitarport has an ASIO driver it's own, use it's control panel or try with asio4all driver (http://www.asio4all.com).jutapaMessage Edited by jutapa on 0-9-20080:0 PM
Is this a standalone driver? Or is it something used in addition to an existing sound driver? I'm having a similar problem with my mic, there is a delay (and it has to be turned up really loud to be heard, although that may be a different problem) and I'm looking for a solution.

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!

Problems With iTunes Library in Garageband 10.0.1

Hi, If you GarageBand (latest version) fades media and downloads a song from the iTunes Libary in GarageBand, there are problems with the latency! Continuous dropouts and stuttering. But if one loads the same track in GarageBand from the desktop, there are no problems. The loops and effects seem to work when inserting them directly ind GarageBand.

I was finally able to resolve this problem by reinstalling iLife '11. Immediately after installing I had to do a software update to bring iPhoto up-to-date. Can't guarantee this will work for everyone, but it worked for me.

Xmod problem with guitar hero control

I'm having problems with my xmod sound card and guitar hero controller. As soon as I plug in the controller to my usb port, the sound on my computer becomes distorted and theres a lot of static. Even if I unplug my controller the sound continues to be distorted until I restart my computer. My best guess is that it might be some sort of usb conflict. Any ideas whats causing this?

I have the same problem and I just want to know if u find a how to fix it... If yeah, plz, tell me how.

Problems with Pitch-Shifting in GarageBand 10.0.1

I'm trying to reconstruct a song by showing the sample source, then showing its progression by pitch-shifting it to the point where its sound matches with the song that samples it (e.g., the YouTube tutorials on the "Shook Ones, Pt. II" and "Ice Cream" samples). However, I'm using Garageband 10.0.1, and whenever I try to pitch-shift only one of multiple recordings/copies, everything in the project is shifted to the selected pitch, so it ends up being useless for what I need it to do. This is especially aggravating because earlier versions of GarageBand (at least for 2010-era programs) didn't have this problem. I want to if – or, more likely, how – I can get around this and make sure only a selected snippet is pitch-shifted, rather than everything in the project, as well as if it applies only to individual recordings or copies as well.
On a related note, pitch-shifting a recording in Garageband (granted, one only using built-in speakers) always seems to entail a weird Auto-Tune effect, and it is almost never as smooth as in the aforementioned sample-tutorial videos. I also want to know if this a necessary limitation, or if there are ways around it.

When you update to 6.0.1.. you remember if you update or restore and take your backup?
Because I've see that many many times if anyone take his backup of iOS 5.x to iOS 6.x has a problem!!
Try to restore and start your device to a new device, without backup!

Starting out with Guitar Recording in Garageband

I started playing guitar about 2 years ago, and I'm just now starting to get interested in composing my own material. Im on an extremely tight budget (I'm broke after buying my first Mac Though I'm very happy with it.) I earlier tried plugging the guitar just strait in (after checking around a bit I didn't expect a whole lot) I found a lot of noise and distortion like I figured. I tried using a cheap amp I own as a pre-amp of sorts, but this just made the problem worse. Its pretty clear that I need another way to record other than the Line-In on the pro. I've looked at USB solutions, but I can't find one that seems to be generally considered "good" for under $200. I'd really like to keep my costs for starting out under $100 if possible. At any rate, if anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Problem with guitar and sculpture.

I´ve tried to sidechain my guitar throgh sculpture, but I dno´t get any sound then my normal guitar sound. Help please.

This topic comes up fairly frequently, and is most often a misunderstanding or lack of knowledge about what it is you are trying to achieve.
Sending a sidechain signal into Sculture means that you can use the audio signal as a modulator in the synth - mostly to excite the string according to your audio souce.
It doesn't turn Sculture into a guitar-synth, for example.
To do this, you should set the output of the guitar track to "No Output", so it can't be heard through the mixer (do not simply mute the channel).
Now on the audio instrument that Sculture is on, select your guitar audio track as the sidechain signal, and select the external/sidechain input in one of the string modulators - you'll need to play with the exciter strength. Now as you play Sculture with MIDI notes, the guitar audio will be affecting Sculpture's string.

Problem with guitar and backing track

Hi, i link my guitar with the jack cable, but when i go to play i don't hear the sound of my guitar and i don't hear the sound of the backing track too. Why? Somebody can help me?

You'll have to give us more details! Like:
- What is "the jack cable"?
- How are you recording?
- Are you recording to a guitar track or a real instrument track?

Problem with muted sound in garageband recording

I have used GB for years to record male vocal without any issues until this week. Now all my recordings sound 50 miles away - what am I doing wrong? Here is a rundown of my recording routine . . .
Open GB New Project
Select Voice option and click 'choose'
In 'save as' window I give my project a name and click 'create'
In 'tracks' I command delete 'female basic'
In 'real instrument' I select 'vocals' and 'male basic'
In 'input source' I select 'mono 1 (built-in input)
In 'monitor' I select 'off'
I don't usually check 'automatic level control'
In the 'edit' tab I change nothing
In the GB toolbar I select 'preferences' where I only make sure that 'audio output' is set at 'built-in output' and 'audio input' is set at 'built-in input'
In the GB toolbar I make sure that 'metronome' is not selected and leave 'snap to grid' selected, as well as, 'show measures in LCD' selected
I then plug in my mic receiver (that's probably not it's real name) in to power and also into my computer jack
I open the 'track editor' - turn on my label mic - click record in GB and test the mic to make sure that it is ready to go
Since upgrading to Lion, however, the look of GB has changed some so when I open 'track editor' an 'audio region' appears on the left but I make no adjustments there.
I am wondering if I have some of my settings wrong. And now that the recording is complete, is it too late to resolve this issue and salvage my project?

You are probably an experienced computer-audio user, so may not apply to you, but possibly more to others viewing this thread. I was fooled by a similar problem recently. Are you by chance using microphone-enabled earphones? They may not support listening on a computer. If there is a pause button built in to the microphone, try pressing it while listening; does the sound improve? Mine are JVC HAFR36S.

Podcast problem with .m4a files using GarageBand 08

I create an audio podcast and I have started having an odd problem. I export my show to an enhanced .m4a file. The problem I am having is that these files have stopped working on older iPods. They play fine on iPod touch and the iPhone, but the cause an iPod video to shutdown and reboot.
Anyone else run into this or know how to fix it? I would hate to have to revert to ordinary .mp3 format.

Yes, it is correct. I opened up one of the problematic episodes and changed the preferences to save it as "good" quality and the resulting .m4a played fine. Oddly the next setting up, "better" is supposed to record at 24 bits but export at 16 bit. The.m4a from this setting wouldn't play.
It seems to be the iPod video and older that are effected.
I tested it on the last generation of Nanos and it plays them. I think i will keep the show at 24 bits for now and see how many listeners have problems. I have gotten only a few comments about it.

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 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.
