How to Record in Cubase With Guitar Rig

Guitar Rig, produced by Native Instruments, is a hardware/software interface that is compatible with Steinberg's recording suite, Cubase. Guitar Rig allows musicians to plug in an instrument into a hardware device that loops into the software program. Guitar Rig's software allows the user to choose effects and amplifiers to obtain a specific sound. The tracks may be recorded directly into Guitar Rig and then exported to Cubase, or Guitar Rig can act as a pass-through interface.
