For my use, I plug then directly into the the Big Knob head phone jack on the front (two of them).  For the artist, I have a Presonus HP4 headphone amp coming out of the head phone amp outputs at the rear of the  Big Knob.

That Big knob looks amazing, they have several models, I thought you had the passive controller box.

Do you like it a lot? (Headphone output)

What headphones do you have?

I have the Sennheiser HD820, love them.

I have never used the headphone outs on any of my audio interfaces since I got the original Mackie Big Knob.   I bring my audio into the Big Knob from my interface and then distribute it to where it needs to go.

Fair enough.

Where do you plug your headphones then?

I was going to say I am waiting and saving for the Clarett+ 8, but I realized it's too expensive so I am aiming for the Audient iD44 Mk II (although yeah, the Clarett has 8 inputs so idk).

I am looking for a decent headphone output and Scarletts and M1 (Motu) aren't good at all for my needs. (Read Claretts have a better headphone output than Scarletts).

Sweet deal thanks!

Thank you. We should have a forum to discuss plugins, apart from discounts.

Go to KVR forums, or Vi control.

What VIs do YYOOOUUUUUU use in Reaper to trigger from Guitar Pro MIDI?

Zimmer piano, free heavyocity libs, free symphonic orchestra, 

Steven slate drums (free set is awesome) I have them all though.

Not right now at the computer to tell more.

In a pst before I suggested Decent Sampler,  pianobook, Spitfire labs coz they are free.

I use Kontakt too because I have a shtload of free libraries and some paid.

Wow, it sold too fast!? 🤣

I think I am gonna open Reaper sheet music mode, I forgot it ever existed,  lol

Meanwhile, I find it weird that Guitar Pro doesn't support VST plugins.

I find it dumb too, when GP8 was announced this year, I thought that they would've improved it a loooot, but nope X(

But, but, the point of Guitar Pro for us is to escape the DAW and have a focused, self-contained songwriting tool...

I agree, just that perhaps once you finish your composition, you can follow my suggestion. 

Also you could have a template and open it up when u use GP.

When you input midi notes on GP, the DAW reproduces it in real time, so perhaps doing this is even more inspiring to work.

YMMV.

I wrote and produce my very first "song" in Guitar Pro!

I strongly suggest getting Decent Sampler and go to Pianobook and browse libraries that work for your song (all free)

 Loopmidi for Windows, nothing for Mac, to communicate GP8 with your DAW so your composition sounds way better.

Oh, and all the labs from Spitfire are free, they have 2 drum kits at least. 

I think they even have a guitar.

Sounds like it's been made in GP indeed 😎

19 free Waves plugins and counting, thanks!

I still do. I find it much faster than clicking on the virtual fretboard/keyboard. Left hand on the arrow keys, right on the numpad.

Oh yeah, I totally get you, but I picture myself using more the keyboard or fretboard to visualize the scale I set when composing at least. Or use it just as a visual reference and if you have a midi keyboard/controller to input the notes.

You're right about midi vs RSE dynamics, sad face 🤗

New release!

Reaper supports it 🤗

The problem is that when you set the dynamic it sets it for all the notes on the same beat.

So Guitar Pro 8 new feature: 

Adjust the sound precisely

Customize the duration, the offset and the relative velocity of each note of your score.

doesn't fix this issue?

You can now mix drums volume better (

Mix the drum set

Adjust the sound of the drum set and percussion tracks by setting the volume and pan of each element.)

My favorite feature is on the Fretboard view settings. Turn on the scale and select a scale/mode.

Then use the Fretboard to input notes on the tab/partiture! OMG, this is a such an awesome feature I just found out.

Works same way with the Keyboard view.
This makes composing a breeze! X)
(I hate Reaper's vertical Piano Roll, although I understand why it´s made that way).

EDIT: Previously I used the number keyboard to input notes X)

Anyone enjoys this program?

I love it, but it's not perfect.

Too bad I don't have even 15 bucks right now to spend on anything but food. 🤣 

I LOVE it to death to compose, RSE sounds are not that bad but I rather use midi sometimes because some of the RSE are out of tune and they never bothered to fix them.

What I do is open Reaper (DAW) and prepare tracks to receive midi from Guitar Pro and your compositions (any tab really) come to life like you had no idea.

To learn guitar? Omg for that is super duper: you can select bars and loop them, you can speed up each time it loops towards the original tempo (this part is hearsay).

It's great to SEE and understand what is going on in the song, guitar wise and otherwise.

Metronome to help you even further to understand the relationship between the riff and the actual time time signature, maybe the song is all triplets, maybe all the song has swing, etc.

Amazing find, I just wish it came with loads of presets instead of forcing you to creating some X)

Right answer: CLIP 1

expect an email for the free bus comp if you picked it.

I was so right! Glad the difference was crystal clear to me.  (Helps to have an ADI-2  FS Dac and 820 HD headphones? Idk 🤗)

Beautiful sound (Soft Melodies patch).

Right from the start I LOVED clip 1. Clip 2 in comparison sounded meh to me (but not meh on itself I guess).

Guitar sounded amazing and when the vocals started, 2 or 3 lines in I could hear a 3D ness, that's all I needed to hear.

Whether that's the best clip or not, I mean, best mike or not, that's a different story.

Kontakt 7, yummy, can't wait to see the improvements. 🤗
