[. . . ] Click on any available output channels and a green check mark will verify the enabled channels. In making these settings, bear in mind that the bit depth of the captured waves should match those of the other audio files in your multi-track DAW. This will help keep all your audio files consistent with regard to bit-depth. 138 Be sure to click the "Apply" or "OK" to verify the changes you have made. Any System Settings affecting the audio hardware will require that you shut down the GigaStudio and then open it again for the changes to take effect. It is not necessary to restart the computer. Simple Capture Example Load an instrument of your choice on MIDI port 1, channel 1, with the default routing assignment to the DSP Station Input channels 1:2. The default routing of its outputs will be routed to the DSP Station Output Master channels 1:2. Switch to the Output Masters view and click the REC button on output H 1:2 (the wide view of this track will actually list the name of your GSIF hardware interface as well). With the track armed and ready to record, click the Capture Tool icon on the tool bar. You will then be presented with a save dialog where you can give your captured track a name and a location where it will be saved. Browse to a drive and folder location, type in a name for the track(s) and when you are ready to record, click the Save button. Note, if you are recording a demanding performance, with high polyphony or FX processing, it is highly recommended that you choose to capture these audio recordings to a separate physical hard drive than the hard drive streaming the samples for the performance. At this point recording begins and you will be able to visually monitor the status of the capture on the audio capture status display. 139 When you are finished recording, stop the capture by clicking the Stop button on the tool bar. The captured wave recording of your playing can be found in the drive and folder location you specified. With the automatic enumeration of multiple tracks, each wave file will be numbered logically so that you can easily import them to a DAW. Recent audio captured wave files will show up in the Distributed Wave utility for auditioning and creating DW instruments as well as . gig instruments using your audio captured waves. See more about this process in the Distributed Wave tutorial. Step-By-Step Review 1.

Gig instrument. [. . . ] The number of available ReWire channels depend on the applications and the supported ReWire version (ReWire 2 supports up to 256 channels while ReWire 1 supports up to 64). In the case of GigaStudio 3. 0, there are 64 ReWire channels available - that means you can get up to 64 separate audio channels from GigaStudio. Which ReWire channels to activate depends on what you want to do and how you have set things up in GigaStudio 3. 0. MIDI via ReWire with GigaStudio For MIDI communication via ReWire, both applications must support ReWire 2.
