Guitar Rig 5 into JK

[snifflestink]

Hi, and welcome,
This may sound like 2 silly questions, so apologies up-front:
1.  Are you in a session, be it a solo session or jamming with others?  JK will not by-default have the VSTs enabled, instead only spinning them up for a session, and closing them at the end.  The VST interface may stay open as you hop between sessions, however
2.  In a session, are you opening Guitar Rig by selecting it from the little waveform icon on your guitar track; and is a guitar patch "active"?  Hover over the icon, and "Open Guitar Rig" should pop up, along with "Update Track".  For example I use a different VST (Overloud TH-U),and even in a session, its default "patch" is nothing, so my guitar signal is dry until I actually open TH-U and select a patch
Hope this helps



I am in a session, but my only options are these:

Where on this screen do I make my selection? When I go to my audio settings, I have Guitar Rig 5 as the plugin selected. But no audio signal goes through or comes out of the effect (what even is the point of having an effect option if it doesnt EFFECT YOUR SIGNAL?!?)

All of your instructions on #2 made no sense for me, since I dont see ANY of those options (the wave form icon, Open Guitar Rig, ETC) 
My experience with jamkazam is a very frustrating one.
