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
