Skype lessons with Helix

[mapix]

Hello!

I am approching my first guitar lesson via skype and looking for help, as I am strugglying with my audio.

I have connected my Helix via USB to an iMac on which I am running Skype. I also have headphones and mic connected to the mac via USB.

I would like to have as:

• Input: both the mic (connected via USB) and the Helix (connected via USB), so that my teacher will be able to listen to my voice and my Helix-processed guitar
• Output: I need to hear in my headphones (connected via USB) both the voice of the teacher and my Helix-processed guitar.

I tried to configure the mac using the multiple audio sources, but I did not even get to hearing both inputs (on skype the listener can only hear the mic or Helix, depending on which one I configure as first in the mac "audio devices" menu).

 

Do you have any tips for me please?

Hi, I'm struggling with the same challenge and just started a thread 

 

 

 

Did you find a way to get this to work?

I know this is an old topic, but it's something i've been thinking about. I'm using a Mac as well. I haven't tried this (I will when I get some free time), but I think creating an Aggregate Device should work: https://medium.com/@brandonaaskov/using-multiple-usb-mics-on-a-mac-27f7847a0560

This is a very specific topic and the setup requires a responsible approach. You should study the subject in more detail.

Thank you, very helpful.
