Meteo Xavier Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Its just one fucking thing after another. Ok, what is Guitar Rig doing that it won't let me change the panning of the instruments? It just stays in center and doesn't ever move and the manual PDF is, logically, no help at all. How do I fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Which version of Guitar Rig, and what effects are you using? Many guitar effects are mono so there wouldn't be any panning on them anyway. I'd do the panning in your host after the audio has been processed by Guitar Rig. If you're running multiple instruments through one instance of guitar rig and trying to pan them individually, that probably can't be done.

Meteo Xavier Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 So this simulated mono will just stay center no matter what? How do I do this other option of processing after? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 It wouldn't be a simulated mono signal; it would be an actual mono signal. I don't use guitar rig anymore, but I think I remember them saying that some of the effects turn a stereo signal into mono if a stereo signal is input. In a normal guitar pedalboard, it's basically a given that things are done in mono, since that's the signal you'll get from your guitar; Guitar Rig is no different. Depending on the effects you've used, Guitar Rig may give you real stereo out, but more probably will give you stereo by having the mono output on both stereo channels. Panning this stereo track in your stereo mix will give you what you want. As for panning the output from Guitar Rig, that'd depend on how you've set it up and also on what DAW you're using. If you have Guitar Rig as an insert effect, hopefully your DAW will pan after all the effects are processed, and the normal panning on your DAW's mixer will give you what you need. If I remember correctly, physical mixers pan after the insert effects have been processed (if the mixer even allows for insert effects; more often, those are applied to a signal pre-mixer). On the other hand, if you're using a send bus for Guitar Rig (if you're sending two or more audio tracks through the same instance, you probably are), you're basically making a mixer track that is processed in addition to the others that are clean, and both will play back unless you somehow mute the clean track after sending to the Guitar Rig track. Your DAW will let you pan the send track directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skummel Maske Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 If you use cabinets & mics in your chain, that's one place you can do panning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Well, you could use stereo delay or stereo widening to make the signal stereo again, but the better choice is to set up your GR preset so that you have a hard-left chain and a hard-right chain within the sound. Thus it's stereo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 Well I did that and it drowned out the sound a whole lot. I could just open up a clone of Guitar Rig and use Fruity Panoramic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Try modifying a preset within guitar rig... it would take less CPU than making an entire additional instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 I did that too without any luck. The Panoramic deal is my best bet, mostly because the computer Brad set me up with is so awesome, another Guitar Rig on it won't eat up a bunch of resources.
