Typical Console Scenarios
The following assume that the Playback and Output level controls are at 0dB except as
noted.
You want to practice Dark Fire without any processing, and be able to listen to
any of the string and pickup options through a monitoring system (including
headphones plugged into RIP’s front panel):
Turn up the individual string/pickup
faders. For example, if you want to hear just the Piezo pickup, turn up the Piezo
channel. To hear the Hex pickup outputs and pan the strings across the stereo field, turn
up the individual string faders and set the panpots as desired. You will hear no latency
with the guitar signal in this scenario.
You want to play Dark Fire
only
through the processors in your computer (e.g.,
Guitar Rig 3, the processors in Ableton Live Lite, or other applications) and not
hear the direct string sounds:
Turn down all string channel level controls. The guitar
signal will have some latency with this scenario.
You want to play Dark Fire through the processors in your computer
and
blend in
the direct string sounds:
Turn up the individual string channel faders as desired to
hear the direct sound. To adjust the blend between the direct guitar sound and the
processed sound, bring down the Playback fader if the processed sound is too loud, or
bring down the string faders if the direct sound is too loud. The direct guitar signals will
have no latency, but the processed sounds will.
