How to install Guitar Rig 5 and Reaper then use them to record music.

- I see a lot of videos about installing Guitar Rig 5 and Reaper separately, and videos about setting them up to work together, and still other videos that talk about using each one separately I figured I'd throw together one short video showing the whole process. There's still much more cool stuff you can do such as setting up a MIDI controller to be your "pedalboard" in the real world to activate different effects, etc. but you can find other videos about that... until I get bored enough to make one.
I've got a write-up with additional info at my blargh sheekgeek.org/
Download Guitar Rig 5 Player from here: www.native-ins...
Get Reaper from here: reaper.fm/downl... (if you like it, buy it, it's REALLY good) but it's free without limitations if you don't have the cash.
Google: "Guitar Rig 5 presets" to find bajillions (honestly not as many as you'd think...) of presets created by other folks to sound like bangs/songs/artists/styles, etc. All free stuff.
Final note: If you have issues with delay or latency, this forum post that might be helpful www.native-ins...
I saw that Jambi Tool present, and noticed the Chevelle riff. Much love bro thanks.
My guy, you just sold me on buying guitar rig 5. If I wasn't able to get this in reaper, I wasn't gonna buy it. They have a special going on right now that if you buy guitar rig 5 pro before Oct 1st 2020, you get guitar rig 6 for free. Thank you for helping me decide on spending money! xD
Right on! That a good deal! Maybe I should try being an affiliate got them,lol. When you record some cool stuff send me a link
This was just what I needed to watch. Saved me a big headache, thanks heaps for the tutorial.
I spent the whole day trying to figure out this....why didn't I come here 1st !!!! Thanks man...I'll try this in the morning!
You'll have to check out how to reduce latency in your USB interface first. Make sure that without guitar rig it has low latency *through* your DAW (not direct monitoring from the interface) then look up how to reduce latency in guest rig. In that order. If you try to fix the guitar rig latency first you made be working on the wrong past of the problem and it'll never get worked out. Different interfaces have different drivers and methods for adjusting latency so start there. Good luck!
That part of clicking the "Monitoring on". Thank you
When you right click the icon, you can right click find file location again and it knows to open the actual destination of the shortcut.
Very informative, exactly what I needed, thanks!
Hello ! I dont find the folder VST Plugin 64 Bits ... also , i dont find anything with GuitarRiG5 VST even after the installation of GuitarRig5 Alone. What i am doing wrong? Thanks
Everything is good, i installed everything again and the folder is now present ! :)
Everthing works besides the fact that i get a massiv delay from my monitor.
How can i fix it?
Have you tried this with guitar rig 7?
THanks so much for your tutorial!
thankyou Adam. this was incredibly helpful!!!!
Can we use the reaper more than 60 days? Or we need to purchase it?
hi. what app do you use to record your screen video?
I used OpenBroadcasterSoftware (OBS). I showed the app in the beginning of this video. I had to record the audio separately because it doesn't let me record guitar and voice at the same time in this video. So the entire video I was recording my voice in Reaper as well as my guitar. I then used openshot or shotcut to combine the audio file with the video.
Guitar Rig randomly switches to different presets while playing for no reason? Anyone have a fix for this? I can be playing one set and it switches for no reason randomly.,=
i want to ask why should i record from reaper instead of tape deck in guitar rig 5 ? I recorded from both situations and it kinda sounded same if i am not wrong
With Reaper you can record more than just Guitar. If you're recording guitar what you're doing is fine, most people prefer to use a DAW though
How's your guitar connected to the pc? I'm using a behringer, should I plug the guitar to the behringer? how should I configure it then? You got me a couple of steps ahead but your are taking for granted things. It is very hard to find somebody who would tell the story from the beggining to the end without skipping any taken for known fact.
Any usb interface will work. I used a behringer usb interface for a while, then switched to a focusrite Scarlett. Some pedals like the Pod HD500x and missing board also serve as an interface though. You can also go old-school and take the 1/4” line-out from a mixer or amp into the 1/8” line-in of your computers audio card...
@@adamharris6557 Thanks, I came back here to repeat the process, now it's clear to me
@@joe78man on that note. I actually just have a 1/4 inch cable to 1/16 audio jack. and plug my guitar cable into my soundcard stereo input in back of pc. so dont actually need a usb audio interface
Great video man, super helpful!
Thank youuu, this video really helped me
Sorry. I tried to type there ,, guitar” and there was no ,, Guitar rig”. Could be the problem that I am using a demo? Please let my find it out
I am not sure why Guitar rig wouldn't show up if you installed the Kontact installer. They do have a deo for version 6 though www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/guitar/guitar-rig-6-pro/
@@adamharris6557 Thanks! I will try this
thank you!
I got a little problem, i got a cracked standalone guitar rig with all unlocked, presets by me, but i dont know how to open that version on reaper, because i open it but reaper open demo version, any idea?
Don't use cracked software... When you installed that you probably installed five other things that are going to break stuff on your system so there's no guarantee anything will work the way it's supposed to.
I set up everything as you mentionned, Still do not get sound :/
Hey! I have a burning question: when I recorded my guitar, and play it back, I can’t hear it. I have headphones plugged in, my speakers on, but I don’t hear anything.
How?
Also, how to save it as MP3?
Check in your audio preferences to make sure your output device is set correctly, and check the "monitor" value for each track. To output as MP3, file-->render and select mp3 if I am remembering correctly. It might be called "LAME" which is the mp3 encoder.
Thanks bro 🎉🎉
Thank you so much man
Te quiero mucho. Me solucionaste la vida. Gracias.
For some reason it's not showing up in my list of effects/ VST's. I copied the location path from the properties as indicated , but no luck. Not sure what i'm doing wrong any insight would be helpful.
Make sure the path to your VST folder is listed in Reaper's path to look for VSTs as I mention at about 2:45. This is sometimes a stumbling block for me depending on what VSTs's installer thinks is the default and sometimes it'll put it in some weird place. I try to add them to Reaper when I come across a new one. Right now this is what I have in the VST Plug-in path. It might be different for you obviously, but you can see how many there are in my setup:
C:\Program Files\REAPER (x64)\Plugins\FX;C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3;C:\Vstplugins;C:\Program Files\Steinberg;C:\Program Files\VstPlugins;C:\Program Files\Scuffham Amps\S-Gear_VST;C:\Program Files (x86)\Scuffham Amps\S-Gear_VST;C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VSTPlugins;C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VSTPlugins 64 bit;C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VSTPlugins 32 bit;C:\Program Files (x86)\Steinberg\VSTPlugins;C:\Program Files\Native Instruments\VSTPlugins 64 bit;C:\Program Files\Native Instruments\VSTPlugins 64 bit;C:\Program Files\Native Instruments\VSTPlugins 64 bit
If this is correct (especially those last couple talking about Native Instruments folders) then click the "clear cache/rescan" button on that same preference page under the path box.
Another thing you might try is to try to make sure it installed correctly by using guitarRig's standalone program which is part of the installation. You can find it from the windows menu and search for "Guitar" and it should pop up in the list somewhere. Or you can try with another lightweight basic audio editor called Audacity which is free. This way you can check to make sure the installation isn't hosed up somehow if if works in these other options.
If you still have issues, I recommend sending Native Instruments helpdesk as they seem to be really responsive and helpful.
My question is how do you connect guitar to your PC?
You will need to buy a USB interface. I use one by M-Audio but there are several brands out there you can choose from.
i already install native access, but when i open it, i dont find Guitar Rig 5 factory selection, but instead i just find Guitar Rig 6 player, what happened? and im trying to install the GR6 instead, but can i used it without any limitations? thank you:), sorry for bad english too
Your English is good! I think they updated to GR6 player and removed GR5. I haven't had time to try the new version yet. If you figure out out please let me know! Good luck
Thank you so much
Very useful..thank you so much
I got everything to work but I have a lot of latency between strumming and hearing it. Any idea what that could be? Thanks!
A friend had the same issue. Try looking at the driver of your audio interface and adjust the buffer size to see if that fixes the issue. ASIO4all has this ability for asio interfaces too I believe
@@adamharris6557 I figured it out. I was using a bad audio driver. I tired ASIO4all but it still wasn't working quite right. Ended up finding the specific audio driver for my interface. Works like a charm now. Thanks!
thanks - thats a big help !

Thank You
Hmm downloaded the Native Access app but it only shows 2 uninstalled programs, none of which are Guitar Rig 5.
No videos seem to be able to give correct information on this. Getting pissed off now.
I'm sorry. I've never run into that problem before. Maybe email the tech support at native instruments to see if they know an easy solution. They are pretty good with support tickets.
Having the same problem
Hi Bro. I already installed GR5 player and used it many times now my problem is when i add the free plugin(STL) i cannot find GR5 on my reaper. Any idea or way of fixing it
I haven't used STL tones plugins before, but I can't imagine why it would cause the problem you are having. First, I'd try to run GR5 in standalone mode, from your windows start menu. If that works, then you know it isn't completely hosed. Then I'd try making sure that the GR5 installation is still where reaper is looking for it. If you go to reaper's preferences you can see the folders that it will search to find VSTs for. If the path to your GR5 install isn't in that list, then add it and have reaper search for VSTs again. If that doesn't seem to be the problem, try reinstalling GR5, then restart reaper. If none of that works, I'd email native-instruments support. Good luck! I hope you get it working!
way to let us all know you're a fan of Chevelle
Awesome!! 🖤
Thank you so much!

I want to activate and deactivate effects of the guitar rig with the keys of the pc, but I cannot do it in reaper, I can only do it without reaper :(
Hmm, You may be able to do it in reaper if you use the built-in MIDI keyboard device (it maps keyboard keys to a virtual piano's keyboard by pressing Alt+B or selecting View-->Virtual MIDI Keyboard).
Lets say you press the "z" key on your computer keyboard, that'll send a signal to reaper's built-in MIDI keyboard which then sends the appropriate MIDI command to Guitar rig. Guitar rig was actually designed to be controlled using MIDI so you should be able to easily set that up in the settings, and since Reaper has the built-in MIDI keyboard, you should be able to control it. I haven't done it myself, but I'm sure there are other videos showing how to connect the virtual MIDI keyboard to a plugin as control instead of as music.
Good luck and if you get it working, Let me know what you get working. You can make a screencast and post it to youtube with screencast-o-matic or other free app.
@@adamharris6557 Hello, I already made it, I can now use the guitar rig and the effects in reaper only that when recording, the effects are not saved but separating tracks apart and adding the effects works, it also serves as a mixing desk for a live presentation, greetings .
thanks for ur help👍😊
Did you get OBS to work with Guitar Rig 5?
Sadly, no. I have been looking for a solution. It seems that there are a lot of confusing wats to try to do it through reaper, but I've given up. I planned to do a short series of these kinds of videos but I can't decide the time the edit all the video and audio separately, then adding them together.
@@adamharris6557 You're probably going to need either a different interface or to get Voicemeeter Banana or Potato
@@BrentHarmon thanks for the tip. I've tried voicemeter but had other issues with that. I'll look into potato, hadn't heard of that. I had updated my OSB to try to fix the problem but that broke the semi-working solution I used to make this video. I tried to downgrade OSB but apparently whatever I did hosed it up. I upgraded my interface driver, a focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2gen. I see thousands of other folks getting it to work, but none of the tutorials have worked for me.
GRACIAS SIELVO EL UNCO TUTORIAL QUE ME SIRVIO
thx dude
Thanks ✌️🎸🎤
Thank you!!!!!!
I'm glad you found it helpful! I actually just made this for a couple of friends of mine not thinking anyone else would get any use from it. Since your comment, I wrote a post on my blog with additional tips and info. sheekgeek.org/ in case you are interested.
It doesnt show up in my not installed section
try the steps listed here support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115003359569-Guitar-Rig-5-Pro-Not-showing-in-Native-Access
i made a sub for this!
Thank you so much explained it so even an old fart like me could understand.
thanks!!! epic info
Спасибо! Очень помог.
Why do i get too much noise and hum ☹☹
Hmm, I'm not sure. Can you record into Reaper without starting the VST? If you can get a clean signal from the guitar, then you know your interface setup is working fine. If not, then you should check that your guitar cable is good by using it on another instrument or input to an amp, and test that your interface works with another instrument (maybe like a mic that is not a condenser style).
@@adamharris6557 yeees problem solved guitar cable thaaanks ❤
Oh shit. Thanks
i can only download guitar rig 6, not guitar rig 5.
They may have "retired" version 5. I haven't tested 6 but I would assume the same steps would apply. Try it out and let me know if they do or not. I might make another video for 6 if the steps in this video don't work.
How about latency?
I haven't figured it out because my system doesn't have latency. I assume it has to do with your USB interface and driver.
@@adamharris6557 thanks for the reply Adam, iam new to this, just recently discover reaper lol, i stayed too long on audacity then i discover that reaper is far better recording wise, now i saw your video, by the way i am using a Boss ME80 as a interface.
@@guitarhub90 I haven't used that one before. I just came across this forum post that might be helpful though www.native-instruments.com/forum/threads/guitar-rig-5-latency-issues.268373/
