The Input Level Of Guitar Rig 4 - Native Instruments Guitar Rig Kontrol Hardware Reference Manual

5.4.3 The Input Level of GUITAR RIG 4

It is assumed that your guitar is connected to the RIG KONTROL and its input level is
properly adjusted (see section 4.4.1). Now we need to make sure that the input signal
is processed at the right level by the software.
Please take a look at the header of the GUITAR RIG 4 window: It consists of the input
module with channel selectors (l/r), a basic noise gate, the output module with a limiter
and information about the processing power consumed.
Note that the Input Meter shows an amplitude when you play. It also features an integrated
volume fader that controls the input level of the software. Please adjust it to achieve the
highest possible level for your signal without clipping. This is indicated by the Level Meter
getting close to the red zone without actually hitting it.
If only one guitar is connected, GUITAR RIG 4 will receive a mono signal. You can set up
the Input module to route your guitar signal to both channels. Per default, GUITAR RIG 4
is set to process both input channels (l + r are activated), so one of the input
channels remains mute. To change this, deactivate the channel you are not using: Click on the
appropriate button (l or r) on the left hand side of the Input Meter once, so that only the
input channel in use is active. This will route the mono signal to both channels.
