My free copy of Guitar rig 3 doesn't want to play in Sonar 6. The message I get is ''Cannot find or open file''. What can I do to make Guitar rig an effect in Sonar 6 producer on windows Vista? Thanks Godfrey

you should read your catalogue there having detail infor mation.

Have you tried the guitar in another Mac/ PC? If it still doesn't appear, there may be a problem with the guitar electronics. If you bought it new, take it back to the shop/ send back to the vendor.

The stuttering is caused by excessive CPU usage, in other words: you have too little CPU power to play the file with the inserted synth smoothly. You could try inserting a different synth or play with the rendering-options of the synth (like disabling aliasing, etc.) or increase the audio buffer size (under audio options ?), but the only longterm solution is upgrading to a much faster computer.

Even when you find some tweak which lets you play the file (just) smoothly, adding another effect or synth is likely to cause it to stutter again, since your computer doesn't meet the official (!) minimal requirements for running Cakewalk Sonar 6, which is at least a Pentium 4 1.3GHz computer (and you have a 1.0GHz computer).

I would recommend upgrading your computer to something which at least meets the "recommend requirements" of Cakewalk Sonar 6, which is a Pentium 4 2.8GHz or newer (like any Intel Core 2 system), when you're serious about composing music.

Get a power smoother on your equipment ... Trust me on that, It drove me nuts for a while until I found out that the boiler heater in my house was passing static through the power into my pc and making lovely little pops in my recordings.

you need an asio driver for your rig kontrol.. you are probably set to use DirectX drivers, which will give you latency of 50ms and waaaayy beyond... By contrast, ASIO drivers will give you sub-10ms latency... Most people can play at around 7ms, but im picky, and no more than 5ms will do for me..

Go download the drivers from NI site, and try those.. if that doesnt work, there is ASIO4ALL... google and read.,. this will help ya

keep playin

playback from the lexicon. Disable winamp as default player

Double click on your speaker icon in the task bar next to the time (Or go to audio in control panel and find advanced settings)

Look for microphone and line in and mute them ...

Then click options, Goto advanced and choose recording and click ok ... Look for the input your using and turn that up as much as you need.

Then check guitar rig ... All should be fine now

I had this problem today whilst installing Sonar on my new laptop. It wasn't the click track. It was the playback glitching, clicking and rattling. I put the buffer size to maximium but it was still happening.

I got round it by downloading the latest version of ASIO4all (2.9 beta4) and installing it. I then opened Sonar 6, options, audio, advanced, then selecting ASIO in the driver mode drop down box. Then I closed Sonar and reopened it.

If you use one device for recording and playback it should work now but if like me you use seperate devices or if it doesn't work click, options, audio, general, ASIO panel, advanced options. Here you can select your inputs and outputs. Play around a bit here. Mine worked when the output of the playback device was selected and both the input and output of the recording device was selected.

ASIO4all sorted out my latency issues as well.

Hope it helped.

i would say for some reason your dvd player is not compatible from now on with that brand of blank dvd!


get the firmware update from the brand website all you do is download the file burnit on a cd and put it in the dvd player should fix most and eventual problems

I've got an iMac and I've been trying to use my guitar rig with my new computer but the interfaces I tried so far ( Spike from Mackie and the US-122 from tascam ) they don't work at all even though they are supposed to work fine with my iMac.....which interface works the best on iMac so  I can use my guitar rig both stand alone or as a VST instrument?.......somebody there with some good suggestions?........thank you in advance
