Hey guys, need some help on making guitar covers.

Here's my rig;
Spear t200q
Roland Cube 20GX
Behringer GUITAR LINK UCG102
2 Pedals
Guitar Rig 5
Audacity
Reaper

Last time I made 2 covers before, using the behringer guitar link and audacity, so I would have to play the song, record with audacity and add the guitar rig 5 effects after recording it.
Which means I couldn't hear my own guitar while recording and I find this really hard to do so.

Anyone can help out? What should I do?

Well you can skip audacity. Does reaper allows you to use guitar rig as vst? Im using ableton live to record, using gr5 as vst. You can monitor your guitar playing while recording, tweak effects, etc. You will just need to adjust the latency settings though at asio panel.

What is a vst? How do I check it?
Sorry, totally a newbie

Apparently, Reaper does support it. VST

I dont know about Reaper's interface, but there should be a menu that you can open gr5 from within Reaper and apply the effects real-time.

Thanks, do I record it with Reaper then? and do I plug it straight from my guitar to the USB link?

Also can I record straight from my guitar>pedal>pedal>amp>interface?

Yes, usb link -> reaper -> gr5.

If you wanna use your pedals instead of gr5, yes it can be done. Theres no need to hook it into amp. You just need to connect directly to interface.

Oh, I didn't know that I didn't have to hook it into the amp. Okay, thanks so much for your info will try it out soon

Hey there, I have already set up Reaper and Guitar Rig and added my guitar rig to Reaper.
What should I do next? I don't hear anything and when I record it doesn't detect too.
Not too sure what's going on

Can you post some pic so i can see better wheres the problem

P.s. be sure your asio4all settings are correct e.g. input=your usb int input (guitar) ; output=your usb int output

I checked my asio4all settings and had to change it to my usb interface. But unfortunately I still don't hear anything..



Is anything wrong here?



No sound coming off from my earphones plugged into the headphone jack of my interface while I'm here..



When I hit record, there were no waves.. no sound coming off too



I don't hear anything when I'm here either..

Please help!

Uhmm are you using MIDI? It shouldnt be midi, should be audio. Can you click on that ASIO configuration and show me the settings

Do you mean this?



I got these too if what you meant by MIDI was the MIDI over here

Yup that first pic, click Asio Configuration. Second pic, select mono input.

Okay, mono input 1 or 2?

There you go

Depends on your asio configuration thats why i asked. I wont be able to know your usb int is connected to what input number (1 or 2?). So you have to check your config..

Sorry sorry, there it is

Click on the 'asio' tab.
