Ok, i just got Guitar Rig 2. I connect my ZOOM G2.1u to the computer with a USB cable, but the sound gets so noisy. How do i get rid of all of the noise? Please give me some useful instructions on how to use G2.1u with Guitar Rig 2. I want to get some real heavy sounds, but its no good if i can barely hear Guitar Rig 2 because of all the noise.

Maybe turn down the gain? Lol

Hahaha "LOL". No, thats not the problem. Any kind of effects makes a lot of noise, even clean sound. Anymore "smart" suggestions from you?

Don't use both the Zoom and the Program. You are basically confusing the computer program. It is like using 2 preamps. One is already modeling amps and cabinets and then you sending that signal into another modeling signal.

Not even if i put the Zoom in a clean setting?

If i shouldnt use the Zoom, how can i then use the program? What kind of equipment do i need so i can connect my guitar to the computer?

Just get a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter and plug it into the Line In on your sound card.

pacoasterrider

make sure your using the cabinet setting on the pedal, or it will sound like crap
it's in the extra eq/cab part right to the right of the EQ on the setup
if your not using cab., it'll sound like crap on your computer

You could always just plug the Zoom into the Line In on your comp and not use Guitar Rig. Use one of them instead of both.

Thanks guys. Ill give it a try later.

hey! make sure you bypass the zoom. all these other guys don't know much about the zoom but ive screwed aroudn with it a heap.

hit both the patch change buttons at the same time and it goes into BP or bypass mode, becomes a tuner and also delivers a clean un changed signal to guitar rig, basically transforms the zoom into an ASIO usb sound card (you can even use a mic through this etc). hell if you wanna use zoom effects you can even turn modelling off, but i guess ure using the guitar rig effects so just bypass it and it'll work.

have fun!

Okay, ill post this for any users that want to see how i used my Zoom G9.2TT with Guitar RIg 2.

--- As written in PM to threadstarter ----

Firstly u need to setup the program (Guitar Rig) so it works with the Zoom FX.

Download the zoom ASIO from the zoom site, then after you installed it, setup the internal settings in Guitar Rig.

File> Audio MIDI Settings
> Sound card

interface: Zoom ASIO
ASIO Config> i recommend something like 500 > 700 sample rate.... depending on ur computer power.
If you have a soundcard and a decent PC, then 1024sample rate is pretty sweet.


Go to >Routing

Input:
Input 1 & 2> USB interface

Output: choose either USB interface if you want make it come outta ur amp... but beware it will be a mix of clean (due to the clean settings on the fx and wateva settings u in Guitar Rig.

You can use AMP Select feature and choose UBS Only in ur G2 to make it just the computer signal.


After all that. it should be all sweet.

it works all fine for me. just one problem is that my computer isnt as good as it should be so i get abit of latency (lag from playing guitar and hearing sound) and also if i get the lag down, the sound quality decreases.

Thats why Guitar Rig 2 is soo expensive..... its got its own soundcard to minimise lag.
