I think the mistake I made was opening Midi Guitar 2 as a standalone and a Logic instance either as a software instrument or as an audio file with MG2 as a plugin. I had previously set Logic audio preferences buffer size to 128 - it tracks better at 64. This information may have been on your site and I missed it but, what made it work was to open the Midi Guitar 2 application, setup the tool as a midi monitor (to make sure the fault was not my Focusrite), set the instrument to no instrument, open logic, create a software instrument set to midi channel 1 (tried Kontakt and Spitfire) and it works. With some help from my friends on the Screen Composers Guild of Canada discuss list I managed to get the application working in Logic. Also, in in General tab, set Low Latency Mode and turn off Latency compensation. Then in Logic => Preferences => Audio => Devices, set your buffersize AND Process Buffer Ranges to Small. To set buffersize in Logic, go to Logic => Preferences => Advanced and make sure Advanced settings are enabled. Logic is a bit unusual in that it will use lower buffer sizes only when actually recording. In MGs “Interface” tab it will show the buffersize and display a yellow warning triangle in case its too high. After spending some time today with Logic, I realised that the most likely cause for MG producing no sound or MIDI is that Logic’s buffersize is too high for real time latency (higher than around 6 ms or 256 samples 44.1Khz).One explanation could be that you guys forgot to license MG and it stops and wait for you to click the interruption inside MIDI Guitar?.Please let me know which version of MacOS you use and which version of Logic.I suppose this is where it breaks for some reason. Now, please go to Logic’s Preferences and let me know if there is a “MIDI Guitar #1 out” virtual MIDI channel. This is not about MIDI yet, just an audio track that throughput audio. Please verify that this works: pick the test piano inside MG and you should hear piano. When the MG AudioUnit just sits there on an audio track in Logic, it will behave like any other AudioFX - it will output sound. Sometimes its necessary to Rescan and Restart the Mac after installing new plugins. Go to Logic Preferences and Plugin Manager and verify that you have MG AU v2.2.1 installed and validated. If I understand correctly, you can add the MG AU as the video shows, but please help me understand: But perhaps you guys have something in common that makes it not sound. I have no problems here on Big Sur and Catalina, and I would expect more reports if there is indeed a common problem. Thank you for reporting! Obviously this is very critical for us to understand, if there is an issue.
