Right now I am learning how to set-up Gig Performer. My first objective is to make panels for each of the S GEAR amps and make sure everything work. I will then make variations to access each of the amps.
Finally I will link my panels to my Morningstar MC8 and my Arturia Minilab Mk2.
I am a semi retired hobbyist playing home. Mainly with backing tracks
For now I will use Gig Performer to play the guitar. I might add some software synths down the road.
In my set-up I will use S GEAR most of the time. However sometimes I could bypass the effects and Cabs of S Gear to use Helix Native drives in front of S Gear (Main use for snapshots) , MIX IR3 for cabs, Echoboy for delays and Fractal Audio Reverbs. I use Native Instrument Supercharger GT to Widen the Mix and THE SCREAM Overdrive in front of S GEAR STEALER to boost it for Solo.
I play mostly with headphones because I live in an apartment and at 66 I am probably the youngest owner.
My interface is an Apogee Element 46 .The Latency is very low and the converters very good. Also the Headphones output is probably the best and obviously it is important for me.
So essentially this set-up is to learn. Right now I upload Video and audio tracks in Logic X to play and learn.
Not a typical professional player Rig but Gig Performer is very easy to use compare to other softwares I tried. Very intuitive.
My preference is to set up the Helix Native effects with automation parameters (e.g. Switch 1, Switch 2) and then map a GP widget to those. That way I can control individual effects using widgets and variations.
But I suppose it also depends on how complex your snapshots are.
Right Now my Snapshots are very simple. I use the snapshots to select one of the 8 drives I like. It could change down the road since I am learning everyday. how to use Gig performer. Thanks for the tip.
Looks great! …and Kudos for your fine work!
But for my personal taste it’s definitely too much packed into one rackspace… i guess, for my use i would rip it apart and use the particular amps with their panels separately. I’ll have to try what’s best…
I’ll definitely use this. Thank you for your hard work designing it.
I’ll most likely separate the amps into rackspaes and put an instance of s-gear in the global rackspace and use the FX part of it only (you can switch of the amp completely). Then I can experiment with various settings and sounds. Once I find the ones I like I’ll incorporate that into my real gig file with other pugins and settings.
