UA-4FX through guitar rig. (Only one input available)

Hi guys, I'm new to these forums....

before I continue I'll just get you to have a look at these threads:

------------------------------

To sum things up I have bought the UA-4FX unit and I have it set up but I am now having trouble with a different aspect of guitar rig.

Using the UA4FX, Guitar rig only shows two inputs, which are "IN" and "IN(R)".

Strangely enough, it is putting both my synthesizer and my guitar through the one input. All i want to put through it is the guitar (but i want FL Studio to play the synthesizer melody dry without guitar rig picking it up). Is there any solution to this?

I really really hope there is because I don't want to have bought this unit for it to be useless.

Thank you all for your time.


P.S.

And another little problem that I have come across in the last 5 minutes...

When I play the guitar through guitar rig it plays the dry sound on top of the post-sound in Guitar Rig. Is there a way this can be fixed too?

I never had to worry about it with my old setup because:

1. I was able to mute that particular line-in through the Audigy volume controls.

2. The volume of the dry signal was nowhere near as high as the guitar rig volume.

thanks so much for that mate i'll look into all that. hopefully i'll be able to overcome both problems.

well i've had a look on a few other threads and in the manual and i cant find a place to switch input monitoring off. I dont know if i have the advanced driver but my driver settings (in control panel) look like this:



There is nothing in this window for "input monitoring".

I should also state that i am using guitar rig standalone. I don't want to use guitar rig in FL studio for live stuff.

EDIT: I have flicked the input monitoring switch at the bottom to auto and I think maybe it might have helped with the guitar but I still have the problem of guitar rig putting the synthesizer and the guitar through at the same time.

Your device has only two inputs/outputs. 2 mono or 1 stereo pair. If you want to keep them separate you will have to put one on the left and one on the right... if I'm understanding your situation... which I'm not sure I am.

well i've got the guitar plugged into the front (very left jack):



and the synthesizer is plugged into the back through RCA's:



maybe I just need to update to guitar rig 4 so that it shows more than one input.

The 1/4 inputs/outputs and the rca inputs/outputs share the same audio path. If you want them separate and able to listen/record them independently you will have to put one on the left and one on the right. They way you have it, the synth is connected to both left and right inputs, and the guitar is connected to the left input. If you record the left input, or the input in stereo, you are going to record both the synth and the guitar. If you want to just listen to the synth while you record your guitar, connect the synth's Left output (it will be both left and right channels) to the Right rca input and leave the guitar connected to the left.

The audio track you use for the guitar needs to use only the left input. The audio track you use for the synth needs to use only the Right input. This way can you listen to both at the same time but only record one.

sorry i posted too late... editing again soon...

I'm still not sure I completely understand what is happening. Are you using Guitar Rig as a stand alone app or are you using it as a Plugin in an audio track's FX bin? If I were you I would use GR as a plugin, and not worry about GR's inputs, but on the input of the audio track I was recording my guitar on.

ASIO Direct Monitor is input monitoring. With that box checked whatever is connected to the inputs will be sent to the outputs and will be heard in addition to the audio coming from the computer.

I am not familiar with FL Studio. My experience is with Cakewalk programs. What you want to do is very easy to do with Sonar so there is probably a way to do it with FL Studio. Sorry I couldn't help more.

It's not looking good I think I'm gonna have to get a refund on this thing.

I came across yet another problem....

I tried playing something in guitar rig and recording it through audition and it only records the dry signal.
