Building my Gig performer gig file and a few questions

I’m building my rack-spaces for my songs and medleys, I am using a rack-space per patch, everything seems to be going good, but reading allot in the forums, and wanted to know if there is a suggestion on which VST to use more than others, I don’t want to tax my system too much, and have a problem down the road or during a performance, I’m using a MacBook pro 48 gig of ram, through a RME UCX III interface, my collection consists of

Halion 7

Sampletank 4 MAX

Musiclab Guitars

Korg Collection

Arturia V collections

Overloud

Kontackt 15 Ultimate

They all seem to be working fine, except Musiclab, it’s weird, I’ll have a sound playing, and then within 30 seconds or so, the amp modeler will switch off, but it is still enabled, I click it on and off, and it will comeback again for awhile, then turn off again. I contacted Musiclab, and they said they can’t recreate it. ( gee Thanks ) So I now use a guitar sound from music lab, clean, and run it through Overloud.

That’s interesting — we have had (just) a couple of reports over the years of some bizarre conflict between Musiclab plugins and RME interfaces but only on Windows which seems to have only affected a couple of users. This is the first time we’re seeing a report of Musiclab and RME on Mac.

We are actually waiting for an RME interface (RME is kindly lending one to @dadi) so we can try and replicate the issue.

  1. Is that the demo mode of Musiclab?

  2. did you have a demo that may have left some “preferences” that caused issue?

  3. Instead of a whole new rackspace for each patch, consider “variations”. That’s how I am able to transpose piano sounds for different songs or add in an octave lower note for the beginning of “Don’t Stop Believing”- all w the same rackspace.

Have you had a chance to see if you can recreate an issues with Musiclab real guitar and the RME interfaces?

Maybe @Dadi has figured this one out? :slight_smile:

We are waiting for RME to send a device for us so we can try to reproduce this.

Wow, it still hasn’t arrived?

I’m following up with RME teams.

I tried a very simple experiment myself, just to see if I could narrow it down

1 opened realguitar and used the MacBook speakers with no interface, played it for awhile, and no problems, IR never went away

2 opened realguitar and went through RME interface, same result, played fine, never lost IR

3 opened realguitar within gig performer, and after a few minutes, lost the IR, clicked anything in the IR preset off and back on, and it came back

Now off to NAMM

Curious if anyone else is having the same problem
