GUITAR RIG SESSION SETUP GUIDE
Connect your guitar or bass to the instrument input 1 of the SESSION I/O
interface. Make sure the Line/Instrument switch is set to Instrument.
To use a microphone, connect it to the
XLR input. Pl e a s e re f e r to t h e
SESSION I/O manual for more infor-
mation. You will fi nd the manual in the
“Guitar Rig 3” application folder on
your Mac and in the “Session IO” fold-
er on your PC.
Connect your power amplifi er, mixer or
active speakers to the output 1/2 jacks
on the back of the SESSION I/O.
NOTE: Please take notice of the output 1/2
level (volume) settings when doing this!
Start your GUITAR RIG 3 XE software.
In GUITAR RIG 3 XE, go to Audio and
MIDI Settings (PC) or Preferences (Mac®).

Please use the “Guitar Rig 3” installer to install the GUITAR RIG 3 XE software and the NI USB Audio hardware
driver on your computer. Please connect the SESSION I/O interface to a USB 2.0 socket on your computer when
asked during installation.
Click on SoundCard and select Session
I/O

Confi rm your selection with a click on OK.

Increase the gain for input 1 to get a
proper input signal in the software (the
green LED on top of the interface indicates an incoming signal, the red LED
indicates overload).
7
Load a GUITAR RIG 3 XE preset and
have fun!

If you plan to use your guitar amp in conjunction with the SESSION I/O, simply connect
either one of the outputs of the SESSION I/O audio interface to your amp to run a “mono”
setup. To get a true stereo setup, connect both SESSION I/O outputs to your amp.
If you experience ground loops or noise, a DI box between the SESSION I/O and your
amp can help to alleviate this problem. Please check our Knowledge Base for further
info on this topic.
