Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me out here...
I've been trying to record some of the awesome effects that come with guitar rig 2, but have been having issues.
I'm using Acid Pro 6 to put my tracks together, and I initially attempted to just record the riff with the eefect onto guitar rig, save as a wav, then lay it out in Acid. However, when I try record onto GR, it plays with the effect, but records dry. Does anyone know how to record the effected riff directly onto GR?
In order to overcome my problem, I tried using GR as a VST plugin on Acid Pro. Now I'm not the most technically minded person in the world, so I followed some instructions I found on the net which told me to use a bus thingie on an audio track and do this that and the other, and I ended up with the effect I wanted playing beautifully through Acid. I was very happy, and started to record, and everything was going well, but after about 20 seconds, the effect cut out for a couple of secs, then came back, then cut out again, and for the rest of the track it was just the dry signal, until I stopped recording, whereby the effect sound immediately comes back.
i've written enough. i have a tendancy to overdo things a bit.

I'm not very familiar with GR 2 and don't know exactly how to switch the effect on and off the recording portion of GR. That said it should be in the audio/recording options section of the app.
On the use of it as a VST in Acid, that may or may not be related to the system you are using and its set up.
What are the specs of the PC you are using. CPU speed, amount of RAM, and are you using a separate audio interface or the GR 2 as the interface?
There appear to have been several driver updates for the GR 2 that fixed some issues that seem similar to what you are having.
I would check the NI website and get the latest drivers and install them and see what happens.
