Ableton Forum

Hi all. Ok so, I have Guitar Rig 4 and it is not showing up in my VST

I've done some research and know that the Guitar rig VST should be saved in a specified path c\programfiles\steinberg\VSTplugins and have saved it in this path however it is still not there. I can use it as a standalone and am using Rigkontrol as the soundcard, however, when I record a track of audio/guitar I only get a clean signal, and no Guitar rig effects.

Any help would be much appreciated with this as I'd love to be able to start using it in ableton soon as

Thanks in advance

Eh ... yeah. I've just installed GR4. Updated it etc and it's not showing in Ableton 8.2.6

Windows 7

Maybe it is a plan by Native Instruments to get us to pay for the GR5 update.

In preferences, check if your VST-plugin custom folder is set to the right location and then click rescan Plugins.

Hi rdevries. It's a YES from me!!!

It's not enough to make a special Ableton folder with a shortcut to GR4Pro DLL in it. If you manage your VSTs in a similar way to me, you need to install GR4Pro right into your special Ableton VST Folder (it can be inside a sub folder within your specuial Ableton VST Folder) or it won't show up in Ableton. All of my other VSTs work using shortcuts placed in my special VST Folder to their respective DLLs. Native Instruments GR4Pro seems to be a special case. Probably all NI Products work this way.

Hope that makes sense.

Hi everyone, I've re-installed guitar rig and saved it in the specified path, it's still not there. c\programfiles\steinberg\vstplugins

I've also tried re-scanning in VST preferences and nothing.

Any other ideas?

Thanks a lot

can you locate the guitarrig.dll file on your computer?

Yes, it's stored in C\Programfiles\NativeInstruments\Guitarrig4\VSTplugins32bit

Cheers
