Low-Latency Guitar Recording: Setting Up Guitar Rig in Cubase with Yamaha AG06

This week, I took my 4th job via the website Fiverr. I was contacted by Luke who needed some help setting up Guitar Rig and Cubase.

Luke and I used Fiverr messaging to confirm his requirements and arrange a time for the hour’s lesson. At the start of our lesson, I called Luke on WhatsApp and set up a remote desktop connection using AnyDesk.

This is how we spent our hour:

Confirmed that Guitar Rig was installed correctly on Luke’s PC
Confirmed Cubase was installed
Showed Luke the correct settings for his ASIO driver in Cubase.
Explained what Latency is and how it relates to his guitar effects

Cubase ASIO driver settings

Explained to Luke the correct positions for the knobs on his Yamaha AG06 Mixer

I didn’t have this mixer in front of me but I pulled up a Google image in order to guide Luke

Diagnosed why Luke’s foot controller wasn’t working with Guitar Rig and advised him of the correct controller he needed to use.
Made test recordings in Cubase to confirm all the software and hardware now working.
Spent time making sure Luke was confidently able to do these basic recording steps for himself.
Advised Luke on some drum plug-ins that might be a useful upgrade to his system.

At the end of the hour’s lesson, Luke was happy that he was now able to use his software and was kind enough to leave me this nice review:

Paul handled my audio issues easily, while explaining the basics of Cubase and giving me some helpful tips. Would recommend to any other beginners daunted by music software and setup.

Thanks, Luke! Happy to help and here for any other Cubase or Guitar Rig users who need support with any aspect of their setup.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul reinstalled all my lost sample libraries, streamlined the storage on my computer so it works faster and fixed my corrupted disk. it took us a couple of sessions and he was friendly and patient throughout. He never made me feel stupid and never over-explained stuff I already knew - in fact he boosted my confidence. Would highly recommend. I've put him on speed dial!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul was brilliant, listened to the issues I had on Cubase and my home studio, worked methodically through potential problems and  sorted everything. Amazing service, down to earth and explained everything so I
could understand. I am a very happy song writer once again thanks to Paul! Will be using Paul again in the future and highly recommend. Thanks Paul.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honestly, if you're in any way stuck in a creative block because of the gear you have, you've more questions than answers about what the best setup should be for your flow, or even if you have very nuanced problems in your DAW/with your gear, the service Paul provides is second to none. Besides being an extremely nice guy, he knows his stuff and takes the time to understand what you want to get out of each session and makes sure all is good to go! Can't recommend him enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul provided as stellar service, worth every penny. I came to him with a genuine issue that was affecting my Logic Pro 11 album project regarding drums and midi maps and he solved my problem most efficiently.  He was patient, courteous, quick thinking and highly knowledgeable. I will certainly consider using the service again and thoroughly recommend Audio Support -
Thank you Paul - you are a star :)

Super knowledgeable, friendly, speaks in easy to understand terms.
Paul is helping us DAW newbies get in the game. Paul got my lost plugin files working again as well as showed me how to find missing wave files for projects that were loading incorrectly. Keep this man on speed dial.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul fixed in around half an hour some midi keyboard/controller problems I have been trying to solve but have had to live with for around two years! He is very knowledgeable and patient and the Any Desk link worked perfectly. I wish I had found his website sooner and wouldn't hesitate to call on his services again.
