Typical Control Panel Applications
Typical Control Panel Applications
The following assume that the Playback and Output level controls are at 0dB except as
noted.
You want to practice Firebird X without any processing, and be able to listen to any of
the string and pickup options through a monitoring system (including headphones
plugged into G-Node's front panel).
Turn up the main and/or individual string faders. For example, if you want to hear only the
main guitar output, turn up the Guitar channel toward the left and mute the individual
string channels.
To hear the individual string outputs and pan the strings across the stereo field, turn up the
individual string faders, set the panpots as desired, and mute the Guitar channel. You will
hear no latency with the guitar signal in this scenario as the computer is being bypassed.
You want to play Firebird X through the processors in your computer (e.g., Guitar Rig
4) and not hear the direct string sounds.
Windows: In Guitar Rig 4, go file > Audio and MIDI Settings. Click on the Audio tab; assign
Guitar Rig 4's audio driver to ASIO, and select ASIO Gibson G-Node as the device.
Mac: In Guitar Rig 4, go Guitar Rig 4 > Preferences. Click on the Audio tab; assign the driver
to CoreAudio, and Device to Gibson G-Node (the screen shot shows the Windows
preferences, but the Mac is very similar).
