Super nice application!
I’ve waiting for this kind of program for a long time. And it works very well.
The instant switching is amazing.
It’s very useful for performing, but it would be very handy in the studio as well. Only integrating it into the studio workflow is difficult. To play it from a daw is easy, but to capture the sound, it would require a loopback to a audio input into the daw. Which works but is not ideal.
My thought was; what if gig performer could run as a plugin? That would make it soooooooo useful, al least for me. With multiple outputs you could route every rack into it’s own track in the daw and process it further or record.
Another small thing. It would be nice to be able to route the widgets to multiple vet parameters.
Hey Wilco, sorry we didn’t respond to this earlier – we just set up these forums and haven’t figured out how to automatically monitor them yet?
Thanks for your comments and thoughts. It is indeed the case that our focus is on live musicians, one of the reasons that instant switching was so important. I understand the desire to use it within a studio environment. If you’re on a Mac and you’re willing to spend a few extra dollars, there is a great solution from Rogue Amoeba called Loopback. It’s a modern version of the old SoundFlower app and it allows you to create a virtual audio device with as many channels as you need. Once you have that, you can then use the Audio/MIDI Settings app on the Mac to create an aggregate device consisting of your physical audio interface and a Loopback virtual audio interface. With that in place, you can easily send audio from Gig Performer right back into your DAW. By the way, you can also send audio out of your DAW and into Gig Performer, do some effects processing there and then send the results right back to your DAW.
Hope that helps.
(Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with them at this time but I was a beta tester for that product and use it myself)
On windows, the combo of loopMidi and Voicemeeter Banana (http://vb-audio.pagesperso-orange.fr/Voicemeeter/banana.htm) for 64 windows can do audio and midi rerouting if the ASIO sound card app that comes with your sound device is not able to.
