Free Guitar Rig 7 Player - How To Install and Use Guitar Amp Simulator Plugin

A Free Guitar Amp Simulator from Native Instruments - Guitar Rig 7 Player.
In this video I'm showing how to install and use the Free Guitar Rig 7 Player, how to change presets and what most important, How to make your own sound. And slightly accidentaly I'm building a massive patch for an electric guitar!
Here's the link to download:
www.native-instruments.com/en...
So there is a little problem when using Guitar Rig inside Ableton, but let me know if you're also struggling with that issue? Let me know in the comments.

    Hi, I have a guitar rig 7. By clicking on the colored dots at the top left the system doesn't move forward anymore. I wanted to know if there is a way to reset or use the program again and then if there is a manual in Italian. Thank you

    Hi. Haven’t heard about that issue yet. Maybe if you open native access and try to find an update, or repair somehow. There is a way to remove and reinstall but you will find instructions in native access. I couldn’t find Italian manual but you can use Google translate and translate a full pdf 😁 just download English version and upload it into translator. look up in KZread how to do it 🤘😎

    Hi. Hmm well it is generally an effect plugin so what I’m doing is just letting the clean signal flow through an audio track and then I’m loading that vst to add effects. When you record the guitar you can always change settings or even the plugin altogether. Check this video here where I show step by step how to do it: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dZdqkpJtg5bWYNI.htmlsi=2erFFLNJfeZwSlL8

    Hi. Thanks 😊 well one thing is that sometimes the guitar rig can be glitchy, but other than that I can guess that you are probably sending the guitar through a different track or bypassing it somehow (direct monitoring switch on audio interface). But if you have the right channel on, armed and monitoring it, try to put any other effect on the track to see if it works (saturation or anything really audible). If it does, and the amps in gr7 do not, it’s likely a gr7 fault. Also try to launch a standalone guitar rig 7 app to see what’s happening there. And finally you can just do a quick troubleshooting from the beginning, I just released a vid about most common problems: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dZdqkpJtg5bWYNI.html let me know what helped 🤘😎

    Hi. When the apps are not showing, double-check that you have clicked on "get Komplete start" first on their website? (Check the video of unsure) Then try to reopen the native Access. Of course make sure you are logged in with the same email address on the website and in the app. 😉 What else... The updated black app seems to work better too so make sure you have the latest version (but I've first installed this on the old ones without any problems) and the obvious thing but sometimes I caught myself on that, there are tabs in the app on top "available, installed, updates?" That's from the top of my head but you will know what I mean. And the last thing that comes to my mind is that when they had a huge demand for the free plugins in the past, it took couple days for the apps to show In the app after clicking on "Get Komplete Start". That's all I can think of. Let me know 🤘😎

    Hi. I Assume you've checked the tabs "All", "Available", "Installed" in the Library (on the left) not "Updates", and you have the new black app (Just in case). Then, of corse second thing is to check if you're logged in with the same email address on the website and in the app. And at the end what used to happen is due to high demand it took couple hours and even days for the apps to show in the Native Access. That could also happen. Try once again clicking on the web "Get Komplete Start", close the Native Access app and reopen. If it didn't help. Try tomorrow maybe? You could also ask the support although I know they aren't too happy to help with free products. Let me know!

    Hi. Unfortunately I have no experience in Reaper at all. I suppose that has something in common with vst installation path. As far as I remember the VST plugins on windows have .dll extension and they are probably installed in some other folder. Usually during installation you can choose VST2, or VST3 or VST64 folder and these will be there probably. Try to point Reaper in the settings to that folder. Try different options. Hope that helps!

Just one tip, if you have some other VST plugins just make sure the native access app has a proper vst folders settings so the guitar rig won’t install in a different folder so you daw can find it.
