I've had GR2 for a while and I've been having some fun playing with it in the standalone thing but I can't seem to record it properly in Cubase LE. I've set my interface up properly I figure as I can hear myself play through GR2 in standalone but now when I record in Cubase, adding GR2 as an insert it records properly and I can play it back within cubase and hear the distorted guitar/effect on it, BUT when I save it the only thing that is saved is the dry clean guitar signal! I can't copy the wav files made by cubase and upload them or anything because they're just clean, why does Cubase save only the input of my interface(ie: clean guitar) rather than the processing in guitar rig 2?

Are the distorted guitars saved when I decide to export the project as an mp3 file?

Btw when I try to export/audio mixdown in Cubase it tells me that the Left and Right locaters are not set, wtf.

Sure you haven't done this:
Guitar -> Cubase -> GR2

Instead of Guitar -> GR2 -> Cubase?

Use VST by the way.

This is all I'm doing: opening Cubase, adding an audio track, and in the Inspector window adding GR2 as an Insert.

Okay i have no idea but on my comp i need to map inputs to outputs etc. so i need to map
Soundcard 0 Input 1 -> Guitar Rig 2 input 1
Guitar rig 2 output 1 -> Cubase input 1
Cubase output 1 -> Soundcard 0 output 1

etc for each channel.

I use jack though which is a bit easier.

Hmm... Not sure how to go about doing that in Cubase, anyone here use GR2 in cubase? Thx for the help.

i open it like an insert (as you mentioned) and the rest works from there ... hmmm.

re the silence during recording, i'm assuming you have 'monitor' enabled on the tracks you want to hear?

to set your locators, click and drag above the tracks in the timeline. there should be a light blue highlight over the area you want to export. make sure the tracks you want are enabled for playback.

you're recording on the cubase timeline right ... not the GR tapedecks? (there are two tape decks, 1=dry, 2=fx). you can try the tapedecks in standalone and see if that works.

try 'export track' in cubase, instead of audio mixdown, and see if that works.

Haha ok never mind I was doing it right, it's just that the guitars are purposely recorded dry so you can reamp your recordings with whatever amp model or effect you want later on and have 2 identical tracks of your playing, but done with a different amp model or effects. Cool.

Exporting saves it with the amp sounds/effects, yay! Thanks.

Thanks for the locator thing, I don't know the things in Cubase by their proper names.

Also, Soeru, are you using the Cubase that came with your Presonus? ( Only asking because I'm probably going to go with buying a firewire PCI card and a Presonus like we talked about in the other thread ).

Yeah I'm using Cubase LE that it came with. All the basic functions of Cubase SX, but the interface is a little more simple.
