  This recording was sooooo flat and lifeless... BIAS Pedal, with some other effects, brought this mostly improvisational song to life, 10 years later.

  I'd like to get some input on the best way to route the Bias Rack for a full sound. Direct, through a cabinet, amp sim on or off, into the effects return of a power amp, etc.

  I'm not a guitarist but I bought one of these for my studio so I can't try this stuff out ahead of when a guitar player comes in.

  A MIDI foot controller can give you control over your rig and use complex settings that wouldn’t otherwise be possible.In this guide, I will go through a few different MIDI foot controllers and how each one could be used in different guitar rigs.

  Has anyone tried the Nektar Pacer with Bias FX2. If so what are your thoughts on it?

  @joe-antinucci I am also interested in the answer to this question.

  I don't want to pay for something, just to find out it has limitations that I don't care to deal with.

  Bias FX2 is an HTML plugin to begin with. Its very nature requires your PC or MAC to work hard and dedicate a lot of its memory toward processing the sound you make with your guitar into information the CPU understands and can then send through your speakers, a lot goes on to make this happen and there are quite a few variables that can effect this process. I have had the same issues you are experiencing and bought a new 12GB PC with an i7 processor and if I use Bias FX2 on more than one track in my DAW I still experience this problem. You can raise your sample rate, but this is a touchy thing for guitarists especially, as it effects the latency and creates a longer period of time from playing the note and actually hearing the note through your monitors which has a terrible effect on the feel of playing guitar the higher your sample rate goes.

  There are 2 options as far as hardware go. 1st, a new PC or MAC with more power/RAM. Second, an audio interface with its own internal processor such as the Universal Audio Apollo and other "thunderbolt" type A.I.'s. Either way you are looking at spending over a grand to get that latency down, and depending on your plugin, it will still only go so far. I have tried a few others since jumping to quickly on Bias FX2 when I first got into home recording and was so easily swayed by their fabulous marketing. Bias FX2 is the only one I have experienced these crackling and popping out type issues with, whether in stand alone or plugin modes. I won't spend money with PG in the future.

  Hi,

  it says in the app that once purchased, it only works with the OS it was purchased. This is due to the fact that InApp purchases are managed in the OS platform, not in the app itself. So if you bought it on iOS, you can only use it with iOS devices, same for Android.

  OK, Leute. Auch wenn ich wirklich nicht weiß, ob das hier noch jemand liest, möchte ich eine Lösung für dieses Problem mitteilen, die zumindest in meinem Setup hier.... funktioniert ;-)

  Meine Workaround-Prozedur:

  Schalte Dein Bias Head / Rack aus und ziehe das USB-Kabel vom Macbook ab.

  Befolge die Schritte wie von PG beschrieben: link

  Starte das Macbook neu, schließe den USB an und schalte den Bias Head / Rack während des Bootens ein.

  Starte Bias Amp 2 - es sollte sich nun ordnungsgemäß mit dem Bias Rack DSP verbinden (funktioniert zumindest in meinem Setup).

  Achte darauf, das USB-Kabel NICHT abzuziehen, während der Mac noch läuft! Wenn Du das tust, müssen die obigen Schritte erneut ausgeführt werden.

  Wenn Du Deinen Bias Head / Rack mal abtrennen musst, geht das auf meinem Computer folgendermaßen:.

  Schalte den Mac aus.

  trenne den USB-Anschluss.

  starte den Mac neu und arbeite mit ihm ganz normal weiter.

  Wenn Du Deinen Bias Head / Rack wieder anschließen möchtest, schalte den Mac aus oder starte ihn neu.

  Schließe das USB Kabel an und schalte den Bias Head / Rack während des Bootvorgangs ein.

  Starte Bias Amp 2 - er sollte sich nun wieder korrekt mit dem Bias Rack DSP verbinden.

  Hoffentlich funktioniert das auch bei Euch!!!
