Loading a Gig Performer gig containing MIDI Guitar 3 tries to force my interface to 44.1 kHz, when my system and Gig performer are set to 48kHz.
Is there some way to set the plugin version of MIDI Guitar 3 to 48kHz? Usually plugins just follow the host sample rate
Have you tried to set the standalone version of MG3 to 48kHz prior you start Gig Performer?
When you hold the CTRL and comma key together the audio interface settings will show up. Maybe the last settings there will influence the VST behaviour?
I’d like to try but no matter what I do it just says no audio input in standalone. I can get to buffer settings and chose interface but no sample rate selection screen.
One possibility for that message is that the wrong tracker is selected (e.g. Hex instead of MG3), did you check this? What interface are you using?
I’m using an RME Digiface USB, and using guitar for tracker not the hex setting
Where are you guys seeing a sample rate choice in MG3? Its not showing for me on Mac or PC, only buffer size
As stated before the audio interface settings can be opened with the key combination “CTRL & ,” within MG3.
Its nothing else as if you would open the RME Digiface settings app.
There is no sample rate choice there, only buffer size setting.
Yes, but this isn’t to do with me setting the interface, its already set to 48khz, I’m looking for where inside MIDI guitar 3 we can set a sample rate.
You can not, it will follow the interfaces settings.
that’s the issue, it isn’t followingthe interface settings. its trying to force the interface to 44khz.
Below is the original post
I’ve reported a similar issue with MG3 standalone. It only happens in standalone with interfaces that have adjustable sample rates and, more importantly, I haven’t experienced it in a host/DAW environment. I’m on macOS – I haven’t tested this in Windows.
For example, I always set the BOSS SY-1000 to 48kHz in the Audio MIDI settings and it is also aggregated with a device locked at 48kHz. It will stay at 48kHz if I set the in/out to separate devices with the output using the locked 48kHz device (another interface connected to my monitors). But as soon as I set the SY-1000 is the same I/O device in MG3, bam…we’re at 44.1kHz. Below is a screenshot showing the changed state. I promise it was set at 48kHz by me globally in macOS’s settings.
Also, if you try to select the input device in the window, as shown below, you will get an error. But the output is completely adjustable, no problem.
I’m very curious as to how GP5 can have its user-defined sample rate overidden by MG3 (plug-in). I’ve tried to duplicate it, and I cannot get a sample rate change like you’re experiencing.
Assuming you are using the VST/AU plugins, it should certainly use the host’s sample rate, and the standalone MG settings and sample rate, drivers, etc, is not relevant here - its all managed by the host.
But maybe you set the MG plugin to use a dedicated audio interface for input, rather than the host, which could cause this kind of problem?
I tested this and couldn’t duplicate the sample rate pull.
I have the same hardware and software as you.
If you configure MG3 with the inputs/outputs as shown in the screenshot, everything should work correctly.
To reiterate, that seems to be the problem – that plugin IS impacting the sample rate even though we all agree that plugins shouldn’t be able to do that.
That said, there is an interesting item - we have had a couple (only a couple) of reports where a plugin from MusicLab (they make awesome guitar plugins) would cause noise issues but it only happened with RME interfaces and it only happened to a couple of people. Neither we nor MusicLab were able to reproduce this issue - but I’m now wondering whether MG3 is also doing something similar.
Do you guys have RME interfaces with which to test?
So far its only happened on one windows machine. I was very surprised that it was able to hijack a host! I can’t make it happen in any DAW so far, just gig performer. It actually does some other weird stuff
That RED screen means that GP has detected that the audio interface disappeared, as if it had been unplugged, for example.
I have an RME UCX interface connected to a MacBook Pro M1.
I tested the following scenarios:
GigPerformer with MG3 (Hex and Non-Hex) driving a MusicLab plugin: RealGMS.
MG3 standalone with the RealGMS plugin.
In both cases, I observed no audio artifacts; the sound is perfect.
Which it hadn’t as REAPER was still sitting there communicating with the ASIO driver. This plugin really has some diabolical witchery going on
