Boss GT-1 USB-Recording | Parameter Settings Tutorial
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ธ.ค. 2019
- Greetings, everyone!
Here's a new video tutorial for the Boss GT-1 Multi Effects Guitar Processor.
In this tutorial I'll share with you the Boss GT-1's USB-menu, and how important the USB-setting can be, for when you're recording with the Boss GT-1.
As stated in the video, there are 3 main parameters:
- Mix Level:
Adjusts the level of the audio input from the computer.
At this time, the audio input from the
computer is mixed at the fial stage of the GT-1 .
- EFX Out
Adjusts the level at which the sound processed by the effcts of the GT-1 is output to the computer.
- Direct Monitor
Switches whether the sound of the GT-1 is output to the PHONES jack or the OUTPUT jacks.
* This setting cannot be saved. It will be ON when the unit is powered-on.
OFF
:
Turn this of if the audio data is being passed “thru” within the computer.
In this case, you won’t hear sound unless the computer is set to “thru.”
ON:
The sound of the GT-1 is output directly. Turn this on if you’re using the GT-1 on its own without connecting it to a computer. (If you turn this off only the sound being input via USB is output.)
The EFX Out is the most important parameter, because it will set the output level for the USB-signal coming into your computer and your recording software.
If you experience a low/weak signal, when recording, the increase the EFX Out parameter.
As always, let me know if you have questions or future requests.
Have an excellent weekend.
Cheers. - เพลง

Very good information and for some reason extremely relaxing you should do guitar asmr
Thank you!
THANK YOU!! I didnt realize I had to change the settings in the GT-1
You are very welcome, no problem.
Yeah, these parameters can have quite an impact.
Rock on, and let me know if you need anything.
Cheers.
Thank you for that
Excellent timing as far as I go, just started lessons where I want to record what I'm doing so I can send the file to the wicked teacher
Excellent, I'm pleased to hear that! That's a good way of practicing and getting the stuff down.
Enjoy it and good luck with the recordings!
Cheers.
After I made changes and turned power off, everything was lost. Finally I realized the WRITE function acts as a "SAVE". After making changes one wants to keep permanently, hit EXIT and ENTER simutaneously, enter into "Write" screen. Press enter a few time to go thru the screens until the end and the "executing" message will appear briefly, and that's it! Saved for good.
It's always important to save your changes and adjustments...
I don't know of many MFX that actually saves automatically.
Cheers.
Thank you so much man
You are very welcome!
Have a great day.
Keep update i like your chanel all about GT1
Thanks, I really appreciate that! I will, that's for sure.
Have an excellent day.
Thanks ken.
No problem, I'm happy to assist!
Enjoy and have an excellent day!
Would you have any idea why when I put my phone in aux in and play along with music i hear both my guitar and the audio in my Speakers but once it gets to audacity there is only the bass recording. I also tried with my laptop same thing, amp plays both recording only has the bass,
Thanks. My GT-1 arrived today. My main reason for buying it is for some flexibility playing through my VOX AC-15. given the stereo capabilities, I might want to play direct to Logic. The gt-1 seems pretty easy to work with. I'll have to see how it does as an audio interface. It will have difficulty beating the latency on my RME FF!
As an audio interface into Logic, there is too much latency, even at a 64 sample buffer. Even having the output selected as my RME lowers the latency about 1 millisecond. In any case, I have to try it again with an empty project, because there may be some other plugins causing latency. I'll check that....
Yeah, there's a cpu hungry reverb on a send, with a few other hungry plugins here and there. When put into low latency mode in Logic, the latency is gone. Still have a little bit of a learning curve. This doesn't do dual channels like the GT-100, does it? Two amps? Doesn't really matter. Anyway, thanks for the videos! I'm sure I'll go through the lot. :-)
Hi there!
Nice, I'm pleased to hear that the GT-1 arrived!
If you want to play the GT-1 through the Vox amp, then make sure to set the GT-1's Output Select to Combo Amp, and make sure the GT-1's PREAMP block is turned OFF.
Then dial in your Vox amp, and then add effects from the GT-1.
For use in Logic, then change the Output Select to Line/Phones, and make sure the PREAMP block is now ON - since you'll need a preamp sim and cabinet emulation for goping direct, using the GT-1 as an audio interface. I've found that latency isn't really a problem with the GT-1 driver. I use Cubase myself, and that's all good.
@@PreacherAtArrakeen - Good, I'm glad you worked it out.. I haven't had latency problems with the GT-1...
Nope, no dual preamp channels, just one.. But, you can toggle between two preamp models, by using the Assigns.
If you have any issues, please let me know, I'd be happy to assist. It's really important to get the GT-1 hook'd up correctly, in order to achieve the absolute best.
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs thanks. I'll be working with it more today. Managed to create and save a template patch upon which to build (using the clean twin as you suggest). I am familiar with Roland/Boss's menu M.O., so it isn't that difficult to get my head around the basics. My AC-15 is a AC-15H head/ 2 x 12" box, so it seems to work better with the stack setting, although I wonder if that isn't just for Marshalls or other similar stacks. I am not sure whether to create separate patches for the VOX and for Logic, or just create one and turn off the pre-amp when going into the VOX. In any case, you videos have been very helpful so far!
PS, I also noticed that the patch level, at 100, is a bit anemic. I turn them up all the way, although I should probably leave some headroom?
Helpfull thanks
Thanks, I greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for your exceptional video. Do you know if it is possible to record both a wet/dry signal? (For re-amping later on in the DAW.)
have you ever figured this out?
Thanks 👍
You're very welcome, VISITSKI.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Have a nice day.
hi, i know you made this a few years back but i’m having trouble with my gt-1 recording. i have a chromebook, therefore i cant get the boss tone drivers or studios because they don’t support it. i’ve set the gt-1 as the input for audio in settings, but on the recording/ producing software im using it doesn’t give sound or input. i think it has something to do with not having the drivers, as i made sure for the OS to accept the gt-1, as well as the recording software.
if you do see this, thanks
Hi,
The driver for the GT-1 should automatically install, when the GT-1 is connected via USB to the PC.
If not, then go to Boss' webpage, under the GT-1 product page, here you'll find the drivers and support tab.
From there you should be able to get it all to work.
Give that a go, and let me know how it goes.
Cheers.
Great explanation! Can you also tell me the settings for Cubase on PC? I can't get it to work and use it as output monitor. I have to use an focusrite Scarlett... Thanks for al the GT-1 tutorials they are really helpful!
Hey there, Rick.
Sprry for the late reply...
In Cubase I simply create the channel tracks I need, and then start recording. I make sure that I have adjusted the GT-1's USB parameter settings, to provide me with a good, strong signal. That's really all I'm after. There's not much that I change in Cubase, really.
Make sure that Cubase finds the driver for the GT-1 and select it.
All the best.
Greetings again! Maybe I am getting greedy now, but is there any way of recording a dry and wet signal simultaneously, while using the Boss GT 1, for reamping purposes. I believe the GT 100 has it, not sure about the GT 1. Also does the GT1 come with a bypass that I can use for recording.
Hi there!
Hmm, I don't believe so... It's not a topic I've experimented with, sadly.
I believe it has something to do with the GT-100's Effects Loop...
The best bypass would probably be to make a patch with everything off.
I haven't tried this, but maybe if you enter the TUNER mode, you'll be able to, but I'm not completely sure.
I hope this helps.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help.
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs Thanks, much, for your detailed reply. Actually I was coming from the perspective of reamping. I guess then the best option would be to use a Di box. Have you tried that. Cheers.
@@accentontheoff - No worries, always happy to help out.
Sure, a DI could work, though I haven't done it myself.
@@GuitarNTabs Yeah will do thanks.
@@accentontheoff - Let me know how it all goes.
Have an excellent night.
Thanks for the video! I have a question... I use a boss gt-100....would be the same usb configuration?
i used daw Reaper
Hi Deivid.
Yes, the GT-100 has a USB menu similar. Just enter it, and set up the parameters, so you get a good, strong signal.
I hope this helps.
Cheers.
I did your suggestion EFX Out = 200% but my signal is still weak when recording. How do I get a stronger signal?
Greetings, Ian.
That's very strange, and shouldn't be like that.. Especially not with the EFX at 200%..
How are you connected? What gear are you using? And how about the recording program?
Cheers.
I have guitar straight into Boss GT-1 then usb straight into MacBook Air. I am using GarageBand. Same using issue using Audiocity. The signal is about half the volume I would expect.
Same for me!! Im using Reaper, and the level is to low
@@iansoares3558 I have the same setup (but GT-1B) and same issue. For some reason when I'm using the GT-1B as the input, the track input volume adjustment slider in GarageBand is at minimum and greyed out so not adjustable. I don't have this problem when I'm using a USB mic or midi controller as input. Anyone else have this problem and a solution??
ca n you use the GT-1 as DAC for a PC to listen to Spotify!! any good? thanks
Hey there.
Thanks for your comment and question.
I'm not sure what a DAC is? Do you mean a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation?)
If that's the case, then yes, you can do that, when you connect the GT-1 to your computer via USB.
I use it for that, and it works.
Let me know if you need anything else.
If you connect the Gt-1 to a PC a headphone to the ,Gt-1 can you get pc audio too ?the manual say that you can, but I don't know if they mean t just in the boss program
@@ElectroMac74 - Yes, you can connect the GT-1 to your PC, via USB, then plug in your headphones on the GT-1's Phones input and then listen to and play along to music from your computer. Both in the Tone Studio program, but also besides it.
Great vid, good info, is there a way you can record in a iPad with garage band or Cubasis 3 thru USB?
Hi there!
Thanks for your comment and question.
I believe you would need some sort of audio interface for the iPad, in order to make it work with Garage Band, etc.
I haven't tried with an iPad, but I believe it should be able to work.
I hope this helps.
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs thank you for the reply, yes true, I do use the irig to record in the iPad already but I wanted to record Directly from the USB of the GT 1.
@@vlove888 - Hi again!
I'm sorry for my late reply, I've been behind on answering comments...
Well, if it's directly from the GT-1 via USB, then I'm almost sure that you need a PC.
I hope this helps.
Best regards.
Hello, is it possible to play backing track thru aux in, and record in with guitar via usb to desktop pc?
Hi there,
Yes, the AUX should be able to do that - but make sure to check the manual, it will be explained there.
If you want to record, along with a backing track, I would recommend that you import the particular backing track into your recording software instead, and make a channel for the GT-1, so you can record and monitor everything from the recording software. I hope this makes sense.
All the best.
Thanks man, do you think cubase is better than fl?
Hey!
Sure, no problem!
Well, they both have different workflow, and features... I've used FL Studio for a bit, but didn't really enjoy it... I recently upgraded my Cubase program, and I'm so happy I did! I used to use Cubase 5, and some features were getting a little old... With the upgrade I got a bunch of new and improved features - which was great!
For me, it's Cubase for a while, atleast!
I realise this is one of “those” questions but would you say this method leads to professional quality recordings. Also would this work a well with an M80. Super useful btw, thanks!
Hi there - thanks for reaching out!
Yes, I would. Having set up the USB settings properly, will definitely improve the signal and the audio. It will also ensure a proper and string signal, for when you're recording, etc.
I don't know if the M80 has these features, but probably.
Thank you, I'm glad you found this useful!
Let me know if you need anything else.
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs Got it thanks!
Can i use gt 1 as audio interface with guitar rig 5? I mean can i replace focusrite audio interface with gt1?
Hello,
Yes, the Boss GT-1 can be used as an Audio Interface, when connecting it via USB to your computer.
You don't need a separate audio interface, no, like your Focusrite.
You can use Guitar Rig 5, yes, but I don't really see why you would, to be honest..
All the effects and preamp/speaker models are in the GT-1, and if you want to use Guitar Rig, then the overall placement of the effects would be all over the place = out of order.. It might work, but it would be really messy...
I would stick to the GT-1 via USB and use its effects and preamp/speaker types, into your recording software.
I hope this helps.
Best regards.
so what connecters would you need to connect the gt1 to audacity
as i would like to record guitar with effects into audacity
Hi there.
Thank you for your comment and question, I'm happy to respond.
You will need a USB cable, so you can connect the GT-1 to your PC.
Then the driver for the GT-1 will have to be installed - it should be done automatically once connected to the PC, and then you just have to select the driver within Audacity, and then you can start recording.
It's pretty simple, and fun!
I hope this helps.
Have a great day.
I am having some trouble with hum when I connect my GT-1 to the USB Port. Do you know how can I solve this?
Hello there,
Thanks for your comment and question.
Well, "hum" can be caused by A LOT of things, different aspects, etc... I need more information to be able to answer fully...
It can be your patches, due to too much gain, etc. It can also be your guitar, if its pickups are single coils...
Let me know.
All the best.
great, video but how do you record only with a clean signal? So far it also records the effect I'm in.
Hi there, Maik.
If you want to record a clean signal you will have to select a clean preamp type, from the GT-1, and then add the desired clean effects you want.
If you only want the clean sound, make sure to turn off all other effects, except the preamp.
I hope this helps.
Best regards.
@@GuitarNTabs thanks so much for your feedback, yes I've tried that and works like a charm. Cheers!
@@maik8697 - Excellent, I'm happy to hear that!
Rock on, and enjoy!
If you need anything else, just let me know.
Cheers.
When I record into my DAW, the guitar sounds muffled a bit. I tried all the USB settings as well as tweaking the colors of the sound, but still sounds like im playing under water
Hi there, Rod Gutierrez.
Thanks for getting in touch, I appreciate it.
Why use the GT-1 through a DAW, when the GT-1 acts as an Audio Interface as well?
There's no reason to put it through more equipment than necessary. I would start there, and have a look at the USB parameter settings.
Did you set the Output Select to Line/Phones, and make sure to enable the GT-1's onboard PREAMP-button.
Let me know.
Thanks.
@@GuitarNTabs I think you miss understood. When I said DAW, I meant my recording software on my desktop. I use the USB portal to interface my GT-1 and my desktop. But the recording playback sounds muffled. Yes, I have it set to Line/Phone in the output and the pre-amp is enabled
...Any ideas?
@@rodgutierrez9011 - Aah, I get it now, thanks for clearing that...
Hmm, that seems strange.. The sound you're hearing, is that when you enable the monitor setting in the DAW? Or?
Thanks mr guitar and tabs . Lol if I use my cellphone to take video can you mute that sound and just mix the audio?
You're welcome, Scott!
Sure, you should be able to mute the recorded sound, and then import some other tracks, if you have a program for that.
Cheers.
can i use phone to record using boss gt1 as mixer???
Hmm, you might, but I can't say for sure, since I haven't used it for a setup like that.
Best regards.
Can i recording with a mobile phone??? An android? Samsung a52???
I haven't done that before, but it might be possible, but you'll need some sort of audio interface for Android, I assume...
How to save setting
HELP ! How to install BOSS GT 1 e Drivers in Windows 10
@Nik Fury - Normally the driver for the GT-1 is automatically installed, once you connect it to your PC or laptop.
If not, the drivers can be found on Boss' webpage, under the support page.
One thing to ensure is to have the Adobe Air installed, so try that and see what happens.
Please let me know if you have further questions.
Have a great day.
Good day. Is it even possible to record a guitar track with a backing track from my phone thru the aux in. Just a simple windows camera
This is what I want to know. Have you tried it? Did it work? Thanks dude!
So is this possible or not? Can I record guitar with backing track from aux?
Dude if ur thinking about an amp say no to Marshall Dsl 40,s I have had it repaired supposedly but got it to my house no beano . Theres to many grounding issues even when u have the tubes biased if I can ever get it playing again I got it way before I got the GT-1. You dont need a tube amp for crying out loud lol
Haha, perhaps a little off-topic, but alright 😉 Thanks for the heads-up.
I've actually only heard good things about the DSL40, but haven't tried out one myself...
Nope, you only need the equipment that's right for you.
All the best, Scott!
Why dont you keep playing when setting do that bro
