Using an AUX Bus for guitar amps
I know it's a common practice to set up Busses to run effects such as Vox EQ's, Reverb, Delay, D-esser, etc. But If I'm looking for multiple tracks of guitar, can I (or should I) set up a Bus with the amp plug-in inserted and then route my tracks to the Bus to Process the signal rather than inserting the same amp plug-in with the same settings into 4 different tracks? I use Guitar Rig 4 and typically I'm not adjusting my amp settings differently for each guitar, and I always double each guitar part to add depth. So if I have two guitar "lines" in a rhythm, I'll use 4 tracks. I think I'm bogging down due to me plugging-in the Guitar Rig to each one of those tracks.
Does it make sense to set up a Bus for this situation? Thanks, Mike |

Re: Using an AUX Bus for guitar amps
If your machine is really getting bogged down, and you are certian that you love the settings on Guitar Rig, you could always save the setting as a preset, then highlight the tracks and audiosuite them. This way, you won't need the four instances of Guitar Rig anymore...heck, you wouldn't even need one for the buss.
I say "certain" because, once you commit something to audiosuite, it's practically permanent.

Re: Using an AUX Bus for guitar amps
"Audiosuite" is when you highlight selection, go to the menu, select audiosuite, go to "harmonic," pick Guitar Rig, hit "process." It basically commits the sound to your track.

Re: Using an AUX Bus for guitar amps
Committing to Audiosuite is new for me as well.. Have never done. Great idea as I've got a few Amplitube settings named as presets that I use, but never thought about committing to Audiosuite.. jmitchell, when you says, "Audiosuite" is when you highlight selection", what are you highlighting, the track you got the plug on, or opening the plug itself? Sorry to be so dumb..

The region of audio on the track. Sorry. Not at my rig right now, so I don't remember the actual layout.

Re: Using an AUX Bus for guitar amps
Does this mean you can still record on that track and change things and it only affects the actual plug-in sound or is this something you would do after you're happy with the track you laid down to "finalize" it?

Re: Using an AUX Bus for guitar amps
After recording. Just make sure you're happy with the preset. To check, there's a "preview button" that will show you what the selected region will sound like afterwards.
