I’m able to record the output from GP5 in Studio One7 with the original “raw” guitar with the Relayer plugin. The GP5 signal is then recorded on a separate track. But the “raw” sound is no longer present during playback. It’s visible, but not audible. What am I doing wrong?
Can you share a little more about how you set it up in S1? Where do you expect the “raw” signal? What are you sending through relayer?
The raw signal I expect to come out of the output with all the other tracks in this particular song. If I copy the “raw” track to a new track, then I can hear it. Also, a scratchy “dirty pot” sound is coming through the previously recorded tracks, but only when GP is open. Windows system.
Guitar through GP is being sent through Relayer.
Which output?
Where does that track come from?
Also, are you sure your problem is related to GP?
Having your GP gig file and SO song file (or folder, maybe) would be helpful. You may need to post the SO file(s) to OneDrive or Dropbox or Google, etc., and then post a link.
The raw track comes from S1, me playing as a test. GPRelayer is the next track with the above track as the input.
No I’m not sure the problem is GP related. But the static/scratching sound only happens when GP is open. And not being able to hear the original raw track only happens when the Relayer app is installed. Even when the app is off but still present, the static sound occurs.
I’m not sure how having the Gig or Song file would help, especially when the problem only happens when using Relayer or GP.
It would allow to see how you set it all up. Right now it’s very difficult to understand.

The “raw” sound will never play from that original “raw” track. It will only play from the new track you create from the original track.
That’s not much of an issue because I can always copy the raw track to another track. Although it makes no sense why it wouldn’t work without a cheat. I’m concerned about the static sound more than that, now anyway. I was hoping Relayer would provide something I’ve wanted since day one, back when i bought GP3. As a workaround, I have just used a separate laptop with GP plugged into the audio interface. I guess I’ll just go back to that.
I can just make a 15 second SO and GIG file with relevant audio files so maybe I can post here.
To be honest, I have no idea what “raw track” even means.
I can certainly record things in studio one and play them back without copying.
Not audio files. The entire SO project / song file. We need to see how you have configured and routed things. The same for GP.
“Raw track” is the track that has the raw guitar signal, before any processing or effects. The sound of the guitar right out of the pickups. That’s track 1.
Track 2 has as it’s input track 1 (as detailed in the GP instructions). After recording i can only hear track 2. I can only hear track 1 if I copy that track over to track 3.
But that’s not really my concern now although it’s odd that I have to find a workaround. What really concerns me is there is a static/scratching noise when anything is played back while GP is open. That makes me wonder if it is a GP issue since it only happens with GP.
Those are very small files so I will post here, no offsite needed.
Please see / hear attached. The audio file highlights the scratching sound. The first section with GP on, the second section (separated by drumstick count-ins) with GP off.
Still on that “raw track” thing. I just did a recording (sorry about sloppy playing, but it’s not the point), and you can clearly see that both the “raw” and “processed” tracks are audible without any shenanigans.
Still puzzled at what you meant.

I opened your .song and .gig files. Besides the fact that you only shared the .song without any media, it’s essentially an empty project that doesn’t play anything back.
In your .gig file, I don’t have any plugins that you have in your rackspaces.
And none of the songs have Relayer in their rackspaces except the last one. So I replaced whatever plugin was there with an NDSP something, all the processing worked as it should, the audio ended up in studio one without any artifacts, it is working as intended.
What I noticed however, in that last song you have connections both to the relayer and the audio interface output, so the sound is duplicated. That didn’t cause any crackling here, it was just twice louder than it needs to be, but maybe that causes some issues in your system?
Another question is - what’s your CPU consumption when you have this setup running?
“Raw track” is the track that has the raw guitar signal, before any processing or effects. The sound of the guitar right out of the pickups. That’s track 1.
Track 2 has as it’s input track 1 (as detailed in the GP instructions). After recording i can only hear track 2. I can only hear track 1 if I copy that track over to track 3.
And the fact that the raw guitar track cannot be heard unless I copy it over to another track is almost irrelevant at this point. Of more pressing concern is the scratchy sound that occurs only when GP is open. The first issue is an easy workaround (although should be unnecessary) but the latter issue is a deal-killer.
I’m not sure what you mean by “none of the songs.” There is one song.
The crackling only sounds when GP is open. If you listen to the mp3 audio file, you can hear the first half (after the drumstick count-in) has audible crackling which is when GP is open. Not being used at all, just open. The second half (after the second drumstick count-in) is with GP closed and there is no audible crackling.
So are you saying you need my original audio files? Do you need to have the same plugin that I’m using? When I open the saved file, the plugin is there.
Sorry, I should’ve said “none of the rackspaces”. And like I said I don’t have this issue with GP open or closed.
The only thing I see in your gig file is that audio goes to the audio interface output from GP directly, and also in parallel it goes to relayer in GP then comes through relayer in S1, then through whatever processing happens there and then to the output. It’s not causing any issues for me on my system but maybe it does on yours? So what I’m suggesting is to try to remove the connection to audio out in your rackspace in GP to see if it changes anything.
The second question I had was what’s your CPU consumption like when you run both S1 and GP? Because I don’t have any of your plugins your gig file basically doesn’t use any resources, so it’s hard to judge. Maybe you get that crackling because your computer can’t handle the load?
