Recording the Audio via ReWire Channels in the Mixer Application
For normal usage you don’t need to record the ReWire channels as separate audio
files - you can just have GigaStudio3.0 play along with any audio recordings you have
made in the DAW application.
Still, there may be situations when you want to convert the GigaStudio ReWire chan-
nels to audio files on regular audio tracks. For this you need to use the “export”, “mix
down”, “bounce” or “render” function in the DAW application (consult its documenta-
tion for details). Typically, this function renders all un-muted audio to an audio file and
allows you to import this to an audio track.
Capture to Wave not Possible in GigaStudio 3.0 ReWire Mode
The multi-track capture to wave (bounce to disk) utility is available only in GSIF out-
put mode. When you are running GigaStudio 3.0 with a GSIF driver supported audio
card, you can use the low latency audio outputs to render to disk or to an en external
destination. ReWire mode is mutually exclusive to GSIF output mode. You can only run
one or the other. This choice gives you the flexibility of rendering your GigaStudio tracks
directly to disk natively or routing the audio outputs directly to the DAW application for
bouncing to disk in its environment. It is up to you to decide which method work most
efficiently for your intended purpose.
ReWire and VST Instruments (VSTi)
There are several formats for software synthesizers today - VST Instruments, DX in-
struments, MAS, Audio Units, and so on. There is a basic difference between GigaStudio
3.0 using ReWire and these:
• GigaStudio 3.0 as a ReWire sampler application is a stand-alone program, not
a shell appliccation that runs within the DAW application. - a complete application in
itself, with menu bars, windows, dialogs, etc. It can be used by itself, without ReWire.
• A software instrument (VSTi, Dxi) in a plug-in format is not a complete applica-
tion in itself since it relies on the host application in order to run.
