Loading the VST or AU plug-in into the DAW

On a Mac, a plug-in in the VST or AU format is automatically located by the host and no action needs to be taken for the VST/AU host to find the ReValver® plug-in. It should be automatically listed among the available plug-ins after a rescan.

In Windows, it is possible to install the VST plug-in at any location. To make the VST host aware of this location it must manually be pointed to. During the installation of ReValver, you are given a choice of location to install the VST (separate from the stand-alone version). We recommended that you install ReValver to a location you have already used with the host. Most DAWs provide a means to list available VST paths.

For example:

Reaper:

Menu: Options -> Preferences -> Plug-ins -> VST

Press “Add” to browse to the VST path where the ReValver VST is installed. You then press “Rescan directory.”

When the host recognizes ReValver, you should insert the program on each track that you wish to use it. This method varies between DAWs.

Recording the Guitar

Recording a Guitar is not as easy as it might seem, but it doesn’t have to be difficult. If your Guitar is not powered by a battery (and very few are), then it is generating an electrical signal which is not compatible with most sound cards.

There are common electrical standards between audio gear, and unfortunately the Guitar falls completely outside those standards because it is passive. The electrical signal from the Guitar is the result of the movement of metallic strings over a magnetic pickup, and this is rarely accept­ able as an electrical source when you connect it directly to a computer sound card.
