a. Create a Stereo Aux Input track in Pro Tools. (File Menu > New Track).
b. Insert the Giga3 ReWire plug-in on the insert of that track.
c. In the Rewire plug-in window, select the output from Giga3 that you want to
record (for example, Mix L - Mix R).
d. On the output tab on that track select an open Bus (for example, Bus 1 - 2
Stereo).
e. Create a new Stereo Audio Track and set its input to the same Bus indicated
in Step 4 (in this case Bus 1 - 2 Stereo).
f. Record enable the track and you’re all set. When you now press ‘Record’ and
‘Play’ in the Transport, the outputs from your ReWire application will be re
corded on that Stereo Audio Track.
8. If you simply connect all your Giga instruments through the DSP Station mixer to
the stereo output pair on the Output Masters 1:2, all sounds will appear mixed on
a single ReWire stereo channel pair. This a perfectly acceptable option as there are
extensive mixing and processing capabilities in the GigaStudio, allowing you the
option of a pre-processed stereo mix. The choice is entirely up to you as to which
mixing environment you prefer to use for the Giga3 audio streams.
To disconnect Giga3 select ‘no insert’ to remove the ReWire device from the track. Be
aware that this does not unload Giga3. To do that you must close the GigaStudio appli-
cation itself, or it will be unloaded when quitting Pro Tools.
System performance optimization tips:
• IMPORTANT: Place .gig content on separate Hard Drive than Pro Tools audio files.
Ideal configuration for Giga and ProTools on the same system would have at least 3
hard drives.
1. For your OS and applications.
2. For recorded ProTools tracks.
3. For streaming samples for GigaStudio.
• In Pro Tools, ‘Setups/Playback Engine’, set the ‘CPU Usage Limit’ to 65% or higher. Be
aware that the ‘DAE Playback Buffer’ may need to be increased before raising the ‘CPU
Usage Limit’ to above 65%. On some Pro Tools LE systems, it may be necessary to raise
the ‘CPU Usage Limit’ to 80% or higher.
