GP Relayer is driving me F***ING bananas!!! Collectively, I have spend God knows how many hours trying to get it to work and it’s just pissed me off to no end!!! No matter what I do or how many ways I configure the routing it ALWAYS AND FOREVER only records the dry input. Here it is I’ve spent another 5 hours in a never ending hamster wheel to get NOWHERE with it.
I’ve tried it with Logic Pro 11, LUNA Pro , Waveform 13 Pro. Hours and hours + days and days. The thing doesn’t work.
Have you tried this from the first post?
Link: How to use GP Relayer with Logic
Hi Nemanja, yes. I just went through that procedure with all 3 DAWs that I have. I’ve spent all the time and energy I have for today. I’ll have to try again later. Thanks.
I have an Apollo DAW that I successfully configured to route to LUNA (not using GP Relayer but Apollo’s virtual channels for routing) but I’m trying to use my AXE I/O interface using GP Relayer. I just don’t understand what I’m missing. It never works no matter what I do. If I don’t figure it out the next time I sit down with it I’m just going to tell myself that GP Relayer doesn’t exist to avoid further frustration and waste of time with it.
Dry signal often can indicate the interface is sending raw monitored signal to the DAW. (Have seen this countless times on this forum)
Are you sure the Monitor knob on your Axe I/O is set all the way to DAW?
The monitor setting on AXE I/O is all the way to DAW. Thanks you for the suggestion though. I can see how that sometimes could be the problem.
Here’s a video I just made. Maybe someone can spot what I’m doing wrong. This is just one configuration. I’ve tried the BUS routing and all kinds of different things. Anyhow, in the video you can see how the GP Relayer is sending signal to Logic Pro but I can’t get anything except the dry sound when recording. After recording I can only hear the dry unprocessed sound upon playback.
(video link removed because I got the GP Relayer to work)
I’ll have a look in a little while, thanks.
Do you actually need to route audio back to GP, or do you only want to record the processed signal from GP?
It’s important to understand that DAWs by default will record the signal coming in from the interface (real or virtual). They don’t record the processed sound from the plugins that you insert on a track. Therefore you can’t just insert GP Relayer on a track and expect the track to record what’s coming in from GP Relayer - which is why some additional setup in Logic is required.
Have a look at the screenshot with annotations further up in this thread. I created this and confirmed it worked.
No, I don’t need to route audio back to GP. That is seen in my config because I was recreating and testing the procedure that Nemanja had linked to at How to use GP Relayer with Logic .
Let me see if I understand what you’re saying. Are you saying that GP Relayer does not send the processed signal to the DAW? I thought that’s the whole point of having the GP Relayer is so it will send the processed signal from GP into the DAW so the DAW will record what I’m playing as it sounds in GP?
@rank13 is correct.
Look at the diagram in this post. There’s one track with GP Relayer as a plugin, with no input selection in Logic. That track is then outputted to Bus 1. Then another track has Bus 1 as an input and that is the track you record on.
Yes it sends the processed signal to the GP Relayer plugin in the the DAW. But the issue is that (by default) the DAW doesn’t record sound from a plugin. The DAW records what’s coming into an input. In the example screenshot above, by routing to a bus, you are able to record the bus input (which will record what’s been received by GP Relayer).
I got it to work in Logic Pro - FINALLY using the Bus setting in the diagram. Guys, thanks for being patient and trying to explain it. I’ve been literally trying to figure this out for a very long time. It comes down to being new at all of this and not understanding what the Bus was being used for.
No problem. GP Relayer is a very creative solution to transfer audio between apps, that works in both Windows and Mac. But each DAW has its own nuances for what you need to do to get it working as you want.
It’s worth noting that on Mac you have other relatively simple options to transfer audio between apps, that would provide a simpler setup in Logic.
BlackHole is a virtual audio driver that you can combine with your existing audio interface driver to add more virtual inputs/outputs. You can then use GP wiring view to route audio to these virtual outputs and then have Logic record the corresponding inputs. You will find threads in this forum about it.
