How To Record Electric Guitar with Guitar Rig 3 in Audacity

This is a tutorial about how I use Guitar Rig 3 as a vst plugin for audacity.

Note:

I maybe forgot to mention, once you enable vst plugins in audacity you have to move the .dll file in Guitar Rig into Audacity. Copy and paste it from c:/program files/native instruments/guitar rig 3/VST plugins into c:/program files/audacity/plug-ins.

Hope that helps.

Update: If you have questions see my reply to this video:

Thank for video Now I can record my Electric Guitar :D

[kleydj13]

@XxZone47xX - You bet man, good luck!

[x19nguyen92x]

hey man is it possible to record with just a guitar, amp, and auxiliary cable? if so what settings do you use (for the betta)?

[kleydj13]

@x19nguyen92x - You will need a little more than that. You'll either need a mic to put in front of the amp. Or some amps have a direct out that you could connect straight into the computer. If you go with the mic you'll need a preamp and a interface to convert the signal from analog to digital. I did a video on that - It's called 'How to record electric guitar for a beginner'. However you connect to your pc, in audacity go to the preferences menu and make sure you select the right input.

[kleydj13]

@ercspy - You can export to wav. It is in the 'file' menu. You can also export to mp3 with a plugin. It in on the Audacity wiki page.
