Questions:

1. Must I have a DAW installed to use Stadium Native? (I think I do)

2. What would be the simplest DAW to use (starting from scratch)? I have tinkered with Reaper but I don't own a copy and certainly never became proficient with it while I had the trial version. So I'll have to purchase and learn this software.

I don't mind buying Stadium Native....but I want to use the simplest and least expensive DAW that will work with it.

Thank you

Thanks for an answer

In Sonoma UX 1 perfect working(in drivers Version 7.6.8 Released 6/22/18).

After I updates Sonoma to Tahoe, sound card have green indicator but not worknig.

I try update driver to Version 1.0.0   Released 9/20/22, but nothing happen.

Anybody have resolve of this problem?

My Mac in Intel processor 

I'm running Windows 10, but have access to Windows 11. I need to record my guitar for an audition, as played thru my POD GO. I'm getting all kinds of different advice: some flat out say it cannot be done; others say it can be, but the explanations require an engineering degree to follow.

Soooo....

1. Can I use my laptop to record my guitar as played thru my Pod Go?

2. If yes, could someone just tell me how. I don't want theory, explanation, arguments, etc. Just, please, tell me/show me how to get it done.

10,000 thank yous in advance!

With a new AMD PC (Windows 11) I've encountered a problem. Latest L6 driver causes a major issue.

Windows 11 sees the L6 driver as a security threat. Only way to get the driver working, is disabling Core Isolation > Memory Integrity from Windows Defender. Start Menu > Settings > Privacy & Security > Windows Security > Device Security > Core Isolation > Core Isolation Details > Memory Integrity. 

I have to keep it disabled, to keep the driver working. This is not ideal, and I think it might need patching from either Microsoft or L6.

Thanks for reading.

Can anything be done about this?
These idi"ts cut us off from the service. What did we pay for?
I'm once again convinced that the best music software is available on torrents!!!

However, weird things happened; I frequently face the BSOD when I plug in the pod and go to my laptop. It usually happens when there are multiple sound outputs at the same time (like Discord, YouTube, Guitar Pro).

I have checked the .dmp files and I found that the line 6 pod go driver (l6PodGo.sys) is causing the crash.

I have tried to reinstall the driver or downgrade it by 1 patch, but neither worked. 

I have also disabled the memory integrity, but it seems it is not related to this problem.

Does anyone have the same issue? I found that no one is having a problem with the l6PodGo.sys...

Thanks all in advance! 

Its been a while since Iv recorded or really use computer based plugins/amps.

My current setup is ancient. I am using a line 6 GX + pod farm, which I remember buying back in 2011.

What are some newer setups and devices people use to record on the computer, use preset tones, etc?

Thanks in advance!

The issue we're getting is random pops and clicks on the playback. Qlab is on an M2 Pro MacBook (and not reporting any playback errors in its logs) so we can only assume its the Helix struggling to manage both tasks: an amp sim and a 3-channel playback device. Qlab is always running audio at 48kHz and using the standard Core Audio driver.
 

We're aware that there will always be a brief silence on the audio outs whilst switching patches during playback and we can just about work/live with that by having simply not doing it. But have we hit a wall in the Rack's processing power? Can it not handle what we're asking of it?

 

Any thoughts on what this could be?

EDIT: Win"11"

On reconnecting with cable plugged into guitar, the audio output from GX works perfectly as a playback device, but in the Recording tab of Win10 sound control panel, I see no input registered. In POD Farm also no input is registered. The GX worked perfectly until yesterday with both input and output signals. It's not a USB port issue since I have a Rocksmith cable that perfectly registers all input via the same USB port.

It's also not a problem with GX hardware, since I have a UX2 as well. And the UX2 shows exact same behavior as GX. I also reinstalled the Line 6 driver just now (latest version) - the behavior persists. So I'm at a loss what's going on - the behavior is specific to Line 6 devices. Please help! Will be happy to share any logs/further info as you request.

Also, the Line 6 GX is set as default playback and recording device - with it being active and enabled in windows sound settings. The recording doesn't get registered in the windows sound settings itself, let alone POD Farm (so probably it's not a POD Farm issue). In POD Farm mixer settings, both "Send 1-2" and "Send 3-4" are set to dry input at 0.0 dB. Still no luck.

Can someone pls help?

I'm seriously considering buying the Helix LT, but I can't find precise information regarding its MIDI capabilities.

I’d like to use it to control other VSTs and plugins (such as Blue Cat's PatchWork) and assign footswitches to activate track 1, track 2, etc.

My question is simple: Can the Helix LT be used to control my plugins via MIDI?

Thanks! :)

How do you connect/setup so that I'm connected to the FRFR and the studio monitors but only hear guitar out of the FRFR and everything else (DAW output) out of the studio monitors?

I bought a pre owned UX2, after the driver install all the goodness was  there to be found and  I quickly found the Line-6 Audio Midi Devices tool to select the right input. Happily I connected my two condenser mikes (a Rode NT1a is my main) selected the 48v and  got some very loud  noice with no sign of an actual recorded signal. When I  put the  48v off I got no  signal at all.

Then I tried my M1 MacBook. Halleluja, I have  to  go deeper than ever to install the drivers... but the  problems remained the same there  (actually I could select in and outputs, but all was quiet)
Back  in Windows (my desktop and main machine) I did  a bit back and  forth with  the seller who advised me to install the original delivered software as well, which only let to disabled licence server frustrations. Not yet completely frustrated I tried the instrument in with a guitar and  that worked. Than I switched back and now the Mics worked as intended.
 

So I thought well user error someway along the way, but all is good now, so I enjoyed an evening of good microphone tone - and found all was back to hell after restarting the PC in the morning, again I did all kind of things and at one point it even worked again for a hot minute. But there is nothing reliable I can do to make it work. Also the problem seams  to extend  to the music input port, when I tried that the  day before it seamed to already work than. I also patched  the monkey to work without  licence as advised  here, tried  Pod Farm 2 to change inputs. And I cannot figure  out what makes it work, replugging doesn't work, if I deplug  the USB while the computer  is running I get a blue  screen of death,  if I only plug  it  in after  it is started and/or  the  Line-6 Audio Midi Devices tool is  running changes nothng.

Does anyone have  any idea? Does anyone even read this forum any more - as the latest poster seemed to  have a similar problem that stayed unanswered?

I tried tweaking buffer sizes and input levels, but the buzz/distortion is still there. What can I do to try and find the source? The gear did not always produce this distortion. It used to be very clean and useable, but this is not usable.

I searched in the forums but did not find a topic specifically addressing this, feel free to point me to one if there is such a discussion.

I have an Arturia KeyLab Essential 61 Mk3, connected via its MIDI OUT port to the MIDI IN port of the Helix. I use the Helix as an audio interface for my Mac. With this setup, I am able to use the keyboard to play both in Arturia's Analog Lab V software (this includes using knobs and faders to control the effects of each sound patch) and while recording in Logic Pro.

However, I cannot get the keyboard's playback/recording control keys to work, nor the knobs and faders, in Logic Pro. Arturia's instructions talk about configuring it as a "control surface" for Logic Pro, which I did, but when doing this configuration the "input port" and "output port" parameters do not list the "Arturia KeyLab Essential 61" option which the instructions say should be chosen.

I am still in talk with Arturia support, but their first reaction was to ask me to connect the keyboard directly to my laptop via USB, which I would really like to avoid as it does not sit well with my setup. I tried anyway for testing purposes, and things work that way. I have inquired for more information, but in their first email they seemed to be blaming their Lua scripts for Logic integration, which would require a direct USB connection for the DAW controls to work.

A couple of questions:

- Do you see any reason why plugging the keyboard into the Helix could prevent this feature from working? As far as I understand, Helix just forwards the MIDI messages to the laptop USB port, so it should be transparent? I have never looked at the MIDI protocol though so I am not sure.

- If the reason is indeed missing support in their scripts, am I crazy for thinking this is unreasonable? I don't recall ever buying a product whose set of features depended on which physical port you used on it, in such a hidden way. 

If anyone has any ideas on how to make this work, feel free to shoot - I have of course asked the same from Arturia support.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks

Hello

I am under LINUX UBUNTU. I use WINE.
I manage to install Hedit for my HELIX and it launches.
Except that WINE does not detect the USB connection of the HELIX (although detected by LINUX and which appears in the "lsusb" command

Has anyone managed to use Hedit with WINE?

the lsusb command shows that the Helix is recognized by Ubuntu : us 002 Device 008: ID 0e41:424a Line6, Inc. HELIX

Please help!  Attached are my current set ups (Edit app and my DAW).  I know something is off.   

God bless you all for the help!  Thank you! 

I’ve encountered following issue and I’m a bit desperate of my options. My overall feeling is as if there was a super-narrow-band compressor was set up but that’s not the case of course.

HW SETUP:

• El. Guitar
  • Jack-Jack cable
    • Line6 HX Stomp
      • Dedicated USB Cable
        • USB Hub
          • Mac (Logic Pro)
            • OUTPUT: External headphones (plugged into the Mac)

Logic Pro (11.0.1) SETUP:

Core Audio: Enabled/Disabled (Doesn’t affect the issue)

Input: HX Stomp

Output: External Headphones

I/O Buffer size: 32/128 Samples (I tried all options, doesn’t affect the issue at all).

CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS:

1. I open Logic Pro - Guitar is connected as per above setup
2. I create a new Project or open an existing one
3. I create/choose existing audio (guitar/bass) track
4. I set the input monitoring to hear the sound as I play

ISSUE OCCURANCE

1. I strum a chord to test the sound
2. The signal doesn’t go through at al at first.
3. When the strings keep vibrating for about two seconds, signal goes through for about 2 miliseconds, heavily distorted and weak, then cuts off.

WHERE IT OCCURS:

• It only occurs in Logic Pro
• It DOES NOT occur in GarageBand
• It DOES NOT occur when plugged to mix during live performance

TROUBLESHOOTING DONE:

• Of course I checked other guitars and cables (duh)
• I checked whatever I/O setup both on the device and in Logic.
• I checked all drivers/additionall Line6 SW for requirements
• I checked manuals:
  • https://line6.com/data/6/0a020a418962611d636e7c51b/application/pdf/HX%20Stomp%203.0%20Owner's%20Manual%20-%20Rev%20D%20-%20English%20.pdf
  • https://help.apple.com/pdf/logicpromac/en_US/logic-pro-mac-user-guide.pdf
• I checked tutorial videos for LogicPro Setup:
  • https://youtu.be/7QQN_UFVpbk?si=5EjCNcvVh-wWbzcm
  • https://youtu.be/TNrx8RKEe5M?si=R1DXtR65Aqqa_1Cq
  • https://youtu.be/sGuWLPyI5Dg?si=oMsVwdjYnfO5O74e
  • https://youtu.be/3wwUVlxIwa0?si=HffBZ0dbL_iwxRrL
• I checked potentially related forums:
  • https://line6.com/support/topic/65761-issues-recording-with-hx-stomp-in-logic/
  • https://www.reddit.com/r/LogicPro/comments/121eq6b/hx_stomp_w_logic_pro_issue/

SUMMARY:

• Manuals and video tutorials do not address the issue at all. Basically all the materials only state it should all work in plug&play. Line6 manual even explicitly mentions this.
• The forums on Line6 mention issues using different setups and the forum on Reddit doesn’t address isn’t followed up.
• Given the properties of the issue I’m sure this is a matter of LogicPro I/O setup but I haven’t been able to figure out what exactly could it be.

Can anybody help/advise?

Please help if anyone has came across a similar problem.

I have an old UX1 sound card and I'm trying to connect it to my new MacBook which has macOS Sonoma on it which apparently is not supported by Line6. Thus this OS cannot run Line6 Monkey and I can't use or update my UX1 device.

Is there a way to get through this problem? 

Thank you for all replies,

Tom

Could anybody give me a hint of what I may be doing wrong in my setup for practicing with the Helix LT? My connection is as follows:

- Helix LT Mono output 1/4" to Audient Mic/Line 1/4" input in the rear part of the interface

- Gain on the interface set to minimum value, no phantom power

- Output level in the helix presets set to -3dB

- Knob volume in the helix not engaged (set to control headphone output only)

- No global EQ

If I set the output in the Helix to line level its going to generate audible digital clipping. If I set the ouput to instrument level is fine, but theoretically I should set it to line level in that set up. What I may be doing wrong? May the output level in the presets require further decrease? I have searched in the INs/out menu in the Helix and there is no setting for a level output for the 1/4".

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Josh

So my mac does not recognize my Pod when connected through USB and Gearbox cannot be installed on it. Its a shame and i searched topics for this and i know it wont work. 

Plan B is to connect my Pod through its jack line output into my interface (M-Audio Air 192) into my mac and work with it in Garageband. Now the main problem is that the sound im getting is quite thinner and sharper than the sound i get straight out of my Pod when using headphones (directly into the Pod) i have the output settings set to studio direct. What could cause this problem?

I tried to check the review on YouTube on how it can serve a purpose for studio recording like some other digital mixer.

There is a port for PC and I feel it should get connected to my PC and act as my interface. But I was surprised it didn't work.

I downloaded the driver and I could see that it hasn't been updated for Mac since 2016.  

Please advise on how this can be useful in my studio. Or do I need to get a soundcard before it can work?

My Pod UX1 device was correctly working with previous MacOS 12 and it started to stop working after upgrading to the new MacOS 13 Ventura. It shows a red light which means it is not recognized by the computer. I have tried re-installing the driver.

Is there anything I can do or do we have to wait until new drivers came out? 

Is so, Is there any date when this is going to happend?

New here, new to Helix.

Currently just have my Helix LT 1/4" to my Marshall and set up my amps and pedals directly on the HelixLT

Started playing around with HX Edit.  So now I have my Mac Running directly to the Helix so I can do all my program in on the computer and port it over.

I also have a Scarlet hooked up to my computer.  I was wondering... can I plug my guitar into my scarlet, send the signal to HX Edit and then out to the Helix LT via the USB cable? 

I'm trying to figure this out and I feel like it's almost working.

If I play a you tube video... the sound comes out of my amp. and the only connection is through out the computer to the Helix LT via USB then to the amp via 1/4"... But if I plug in my guitar... no sound.  However Logic picks up the guitar just fine.

I have input set to Multi in HX Edit and output to set to Multi as well.

Any advice? 

Thanks.

When I play my guitar through my studio monitors via Logic Pro, everything sounds very good and clear. When I record a track, the sound is very muted or muddy. Nothing like what I hear via the monitors. Also, I have to really crack up the input level to record the track.

I'm thinking this is probably a setup or parameter issue in Logic Pro? Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks for the help.

When I had Tannoy Reveal monitors, I could use use both XLR and 1/4” monitor inputs simultaneously with no adverse effects. I’ve upgraded to some HS8s, and while it also has dual inputs, it won’t do them simultaneously. 
 

I set Helix as my computer input and M2 as output, but no sound (tho the native meter in audio settings reads the signal from the Helix).  I tried setting up an aggregate device in MIDI settings but couldn’t get it to work. 
 

I did run the XLR outs from the Helix into the M2, but it unfortunately doesn’t sound nearly as good as directly out from the Helix to the monitors.  Not as clear…missing some sparkle. 
 

Basically I want to use the M2 as my system sound card (all system audio, plug-ins like Analog Lab V), but be able to play through the Helix out to the monitors any time (unless I choose the M2 as input because I’m running a mic into the front of it, etc). 
 

Hope this makes sense. Thanks!!

I want to use HX Stomp XL as audio interface.

My problem is that simple audio playback and recording are as noisy as changing frequencies between radio stations.

The sound is unrecognisable. Sound file attached.

Of course, I installed HX Edit and the firmware, everything is the latest version.
The pedal works perfectly with the bass, I can also work properly in HX Edit.
I did reset Stomp to factory settings. The problem persists.
There are no special settings in the Audio MIDI setup. 48000khz and Steam 1. (image attached below)
I also checked the cables.

Attached the Ableton settings image below.
Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 was previously installed on the Macbook, which works flawlessly (and all other audio interfaces too). Could this be interfering with Stomp?

OS and software versions:
- macOS Sonoma 14.3.1
- HX Stomp XL Firmware 3.71.0
- HX Edit 3.70
- Line 6 Helix Driver2 Version 1.5.0
- DAW: Ableton Live 11 lite version 11.3.21

I read the HX Stomp maunal, asked Google, Youtube, AI to review the docs and asked him, but I couldn't find the solution.
What did I miss? Any ideas?

I tried it on Dell Inspiron with Windwos 10, that one is a bit older notebook. Focusrite was also installed before, tried with it, then uninstalled it as its possible. But the results were the same.

my question is, are these holes tapped? and if they are what size screw would work? i can see the screws would be at least 1 inch long with a washer.

so, does anyone know what i'm talking about?
