+
Q.
+ 		+

How do I connect my guitar to my computer?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

There are two cheap solutions to this question:

+
    +
  1. Obtain a 1/4" (6.35 mm) mono to 1/8" (3.5 mm) mono adapter. Such adapters are available + at most good audio/video stores. A stereo adapter should also do the job. You should then + be able to connect a standard 1/4" guitar cable into the 1/8" line-in or microphone input + on your computer. Play as usual using either headphones or speakers.
    2. +
  2. Obtain a microphone and a set of headphones, connect your microphone to your computer's + microphone input and your headphones to your computer's headphone output. Play into your + microphone.
    3. +
+
+
Q.
+ 		+

Why do my speakers pop when I play my guitar through virtuAMP?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

Your computer isn't able to process audio buffers fast enough before receiving the next + audio buffer. This is usually caused by a slow CPU or cheap sound card. You can mitigate the + effect by trying any combination of the following three settings:

+
    +
  1. Audio Driver: Try switching between the Windows Multimedia and DirectSound audio + drivers. The DirectSound audio driver should provide better priority for audio processing, + but requires Windows XP and up.
    2. +
  2. Audio Buffer Denominator: Try increasing the delay between audio buffer capture and + playback by decreasing the audio buffer denominator setting one step at a time. Allow a + few seconds to determine effectiveness.
    3. +
  3. Audio Buffer FPS: Try decreasing the display frame rate by decreasing the audio buffer + FPS setting. This will provide more CPU time for audio processing.
    4. +
+
+
Q.
+ 		+

How do I connect foot pedals to virtuAMP?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

virtuAMP does not support foot pedals, but you can use your keyboard to toggle effects on + and off. To add a shortcut:

+
    +
  1. Select an effect.
    2. +
  2. While holding the shift key, press the button you wish to use to toggle the effect (you + can assign the same key to multiple effects).
    3. +
  3. The name of the key you selected should appear in the status bar at the bottom of your + screen.
    4. +
  4. Repeat 1-3 for each effect you with to add a shortcut to.
    5. +
+

To remove a shortcut:

+
    +
  1. Select an effect.
    2. +
  2. While holding the shift key, press delete.
    3. +
  3. Repeat 1-2 for each effect you with to remove a shortcut from.
    4. +
+
+
Q.
+ 		+

Why can't the Player/Recorder effect play my .wav file?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

virtuAMP only supports 8 or 16 bit PCM, and 32 bit or 64 bit IEEE floating point .wav files + sampled at 44100 Hz.

+

You may use Audacity + to convert your .wav files to an accepted format.

+

You may also encounter problems if the .wav file is opened in another program, or by + virtuAMP for recording. Check the log.txt file in your installation folder for detailed + error messages.

+
+
Q.
+ 		+

How do I improve my sound quality?

+
+
A.
+ 		+

virtuAMP is not meant to be a replacement for real guitar amplifiers or professional studio + equipment. Having said that, there are many factors that will affect the quality of sound + virtuAMP can produce. Your audio card and speakers are probably the most important factors + (most computers come with a cheap on-board sound card), and a slow CPU can lead to audible + popping as audio buffers aren't processed before they are needed. Upgrading any of these + things may lead to a better overall sound.

Does this support Vista (32-bit) fully?
+
+ I have it installed and I have my guitar set up right, but what next? Does it just automatically alter + your sound? Because nothing happens and when I try to use the "Mute" button it stops + responding. Did I miss something?
+

If the application is working, you should just hear sound. I haven't tested virtuAmp + in Vista, but by the sounds of it, it may not work. I'll try to fix this soon (I'm in the middle of my + final exams at the moment).

Alright thanks. And what I have seen of the program it looks great. If it sounds as + good as it looks, then I'm sure you've made a damn good program ;)
+
+ And good luck with the exams...

What OS are you on? Can you post the contents of log.txt (found in your + virtuAMP folder)? You may also try checking your microphone volume using the Windows Volume Control + utility.
+
+ Other than that, I'm not too sure. I'll hopefully be releasing a new version in the next week or so with + better audio support through DirectX. I'll also be taking a look at the current audio driver, which is + based on the Windows Multimedia API, as it may have problems with Vista.

Just an update for those interested: I've got virtuAMP working under Vista now, and + I've added new Flanger and Feedback Loop effects. Once I finish up DirectSound support and a new Fuzz + pedal I'll upload the next release. I expect this to be within a week.

Is there a way to play through VituaAMP but record in Audacity? I record music mostly + in Audacity and it'd be cool if there were a way for me to play using virtua amp and it record what came + out into Audacity. Let me know if there's an easy way to do this.
+

+
+
+

Usually you can set your recording input to be the stereo mix, but because you need + your recording input to be your mic or line in for virtuAMP, I can't think of any way to do this.
+

+
+ You can, however, use virtuAMP's Recorder pedal to record what you play to a .wav file, then open the + .wav file in Audacity.

I was trying to do that but I couldn't seem to get it to work. How does the recorder + pedal work exactly? It seemed that when I used it, the "power" light wasn't on.
+

Works fine with Audacity (I've used the two several times). To use it:
    +
  1. Place the pedal wherever you want to record (usually before the speaker cabinet).
    2. +
  2. Press the save button and select a file to record to.
    3. +
  3. Engage the pedal to record to the file (each time you engage the pedal it overwrites the file's + contents).
    4. +
  4. Play your guitar.
    5. +
  5. Disengage the pedal to stop recording.
    6. +
