  1. Here i just threw a quick 15 second riff down over a loop, tuned how it might sound if i were using it personally. lol super sloppy and only one working computer speaker. im a mess. Im assuming it sounds ok at least for the couple minutes i spent. I really have no way to monitor at the moment. https://www.dropbox.com/s/e6j869y9p3l1m06/new test.wav?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/dgc3y3txvj4wsgh/L drive.PNG?dl=0

  2. Ideally, you choose one device for I/O. I know Apple lets you aggregate audio hardware, but if you want to maintain as much consistency as possible, you should have all your I/O on one piece of hardware.

  3. You should use the headphone output of the stomp to avoid latency in my opinion.

  4. The tap tempo thing is being fixed now. Since none of us are really going places or playing out much right now, I am guessing y'all can wait a few days...

  5. LT gets frozen if I switch turner on shortly after it has finished boot. Or Tuner does not work, if switched on shortly after boot. If I wait about 20 secs before turning on turner, then it seems there is no problem.

  7. It happened exactly like you said. There's an "input monitoring" toggle on each track, was a quick fix. Thanks for the tip.

  8. Well, you are all absolutely right indeed! I switched the output to the Stomp, and connected my headphones to it instead. I've been recording for 2 hours now without a single hiccup. Thank you very much!

  9. Just a Steven Slate loop. SSD5.5 to be exact. The Modern Rock preset with a couple very minor tweaks. If you dont already have it, just get it without even thinking about it :) Thats a redwirez IR. I'll see if i can refine it all a little bit and leave the preset here, for anyone who may be interested in that type of sound.

  11. So we hear, great! Thanks for passing that on. Now the other question, how many taps does it use to average the tempo?

  13. Yep, everything said above. When the Stomp is connected to your Mac, it *becomes* your sound card, and if you want all the benefits of using it, you should not be listening through any of your built-in ports on your Mac. Also, I don't know how this is done in Logic, but in general with DAWs there is a way to turn on/off software monitoring for an audio input. When using your Stomp, you also want that to be OFF, or else you'll hear the direct hardware-monitored sound doubled with the software-monitored sound, which will usually have a small delay and make things sound odd. When configured correctly, you'll hear your guitar signal with no perceivable latency, and after you record something, it should all be aligned in sync with everything else in Logic.

  14. Suggestion: stop trying to figure out the tap tempo thing, guys. It's a known issue, and they are literally fixing it as I type this.

  15. Helix 2.9 is lovely with Variax! If you have a Variax, you should consider getting a Helix now! and vice versa... Acoustic, Electric, Both, Dynamic Switching... SO much power.

  16. I think the update process is one of the best things that came with 2.90. Both Helix Floor and HX Stomp went like a breeze! I’m not so much into the heavy amp, but I really like the Revv Purple model. Still in the process of figuring out the several effect models, but I think the new phaser is great. Tap tempo is off for me as well, but since I can’t go out to play that’s not a big issue for me at the moment. Haven’t had any issues with the tuner or volume knob yet. Hats off to you, Line 6 folks, for pulling this off in these dire times!

  17. Well, I just took a quick look at the manual, and there is lots of stuff in there on e.g. "Save Selected Plugins as Preset" or "Saving Presets" etc. I'm not a Tracktion Waveform user so not sure what's up. Is it just HXN that's behaving this way in Tracktion, or any of your third-party plug-ins?. FYI, in my DAW (Logic) plug-in settings (including Helix Native) are automatically saved with the songs, which is the way it should be. But to be double sure I can always reload a HXN preset, I usually also save them to disk from within HXN (naming them to match song title, etc). That's just insurance in case I change stuff in Native later, a system crash, lost files, switching DAWs, etc.

  18. Use it after an amp. Something low gain preferably. Use it without an amp at all.

  19. Thanks for the video. I've done a little experimenting with how the Tap Tempo actually works. We could debate whether or not that is 'correct' but here's what I found: - the function calculates the tempo based on only the last two taps in any sequence of taps. It does no averaging based on a sequence. - it calculates the interval between the last two presses, not releases, of the tap button By pressing the button once (not twice) you can see the current tempo. Readers, please do your own experimenting and correct the above if necessary. So in terms of your video I think the only taps that matter are the last two. The first 16 are irrelevant. So the question becomes: is it possible that your last two presses of the button were actually a tempo of around 110 rather than 100? That's both hard to say from the video and also hard to get exactly right when using your foot to tap the tempo in real time (which is how the feature was designed to work). Seems to me that if you want an exact, precise bpm you should use the bpm setting, not the Tap Tempo button. Using the button is generally good enough for live play, especially since you can correct it immediately by pressing again if it starts to drift. So, is the above implementation 'correct'? Who's to say - it is what it is. In any case, it appears Line 6 is investigating and will have a fix if there's an actual problem.

  20. This is a preamp model and should be in the preamp category, not in the drive section, it’s not a standard distortion pedal so it’s difficult to get it to sound nice with an full additional amp because it’s too “meaty” on it’s own, but that’s just a little mans opinion.....

  21. You have to go to the Mac Security settings after you have got that message and you will find a button to allow it to run at the bottom of the screen. I have and it installs & runs fine

  23. Fwiw, while free re-ordering of IRs is a welcomed addition, the IR dilemma still isn't adressed. - When you backup a patch, the IR(s) used isn't backed up along with it. No way to keep track of things others than manually exporting it and writing it down. - When you load a patch and the IR is missing, HX Edit is telling you so but offers no hints as far as the IR the patch needs goes, let alone an automatic file system search (which would be the only decent way to fix this once and forever). Really, should be treated exactly the way software samplers are doing it.

  25. I'm glad things seem to have gotten sorted, but it seems to me that if the same computer bricked multiple pieces of hardware, than it's most likely there's some sort of issue with that particular computer, not all the different pieces of hardware...

  26. Try it with something lower gain, it's got loads of gain all on its own. Maybe a edge of breakup ac30 or plexi style amp.

  30. Think of the E as meaning Edited, as in "this preset has been EDITED (i.e. changed) from its last saved version". Just changing from the currently saved default snapshot for that preset to another preset produces that condition, even though you might not think of yourself as having edited the preset.

  31. IR's Not Working...... I turned in a support ticket because I am not able to load any IR's. I have one IR (that appeared blank) in slot #1 (that I can NOT seem to clear), the rest will not work at all. If I grab 10 IR's and do an import, it will start loading them, fill in the names for each IR slot, then at the very end it flashes a message in HX edit and all of them return to the < EMPTY >. Very frustrating! I reloaded 2.82, all import/export/copy/clear works fine with all IR slots when importing single or multiple IR's. So, unfortunately I went back to 2.9 again, same issue. If I assign the empty IR to a block, I am unable to delete it without the error in the image below, but if I "Clear all Blocks", then "Undo", I am able to delete the IR block. Go figure..... UPDATE. Turns out it was user error, as somehow I did not have HX Edit updated, and was still running 2.8. Once corrected the IR's upload worked fine. As embarrassing as that is, I left it in case someone runs into a similar issue.

  33. TL;DR: skip to the end for a possible solution I've spent the past 4 days troubleshooting this. Different drivers, different video cards, sound cards, USB ports, cables, everything I could think of. I was able to consistently reproduce the issue, namely that I could use HX Edit 2.70 and Native 1.70 perfectly on my desktop, but all versions of HX Edit 2.71 / Native 1.71 and newer flat out wouldn't work on the same computer, despite working just fine on my laptop. I can confidently say it has nothing to do with the Helix device, the USB cable, or the USB port. (there are other issues that can crop up from each of those, but not THIS issue) You can identify the issue without the Helix connected at all, just from HX Edit opening with a semi-transparent background rather than black, or Native not showing anything at all when loaded. When HX Edit opens with the transparent background, you can let it sit there forever and it will stay open. Once you connect the Helix, you'll see the title bar momentarily switch from No Device Connected to the name of the Helix device, then the program vanishes. This is what HX Edit is supposed to look like if you open it without a device connected: And here is what it looks like with no device connected when it isn't going to work: The trees are part of my desktop background. Both of those screen shots are taking on the exact same system, same OS install, hardware, software, drivers, etc. Same HX Edit version (2.90). The only difference is the UEFI/Bios drive order. I stumbled on this by chance as I was testing a clean install on a different drive. This desktop has 2x stand alone Samsung 970 Evo NVME drives, (OS on one of them), a SATA Bluray drive, and 2x 6Tb SATA drives set up as a mirrored Microsoft Storage Spaces drive. When the bios detects either of those Storage Spaces connected drives before the others, HX Edit and Native won't work. As long as any other directly accessible drive is seen as Disk 0, HX Edit and Native work like they should. And this is really easy to check: open a command prompt as Administrator and type the following commands: DiskPart List Disk You should get a list of the drives in your system. Look on the left for the Disk number and make sure the list starts at Disk 0. It doesn't have to be the drive your OS is on, it just needs to show up as Disk 0 and show a status of Online. When my Storage Spaces drives are detected first, my drive numbers start at 1 or above, Drive 0 isn't listed at all, and HX Edit/Native won't work. I am able to consistently reproduce both the problem and the fix by shifting the bios drive detection order. I think what is happening is that the software does some sort of quick hardware detection at startup, and gets hung up if Disk 0 isn't online. (The emulated Storage Space drive will show up as a separate, higher Disk number) I suspect the same problem might occur when the first disk is part of a RAID. So if DiskPart doesn't show a Disk 0 with a status of Online, go into the bios and try to re-order your drives. On my ASRock Z390, I was able to do this by just disabling both SATA controllers, restarting, then turning them back on. That shifted the NVME drives to the front of the line, with the SATA storage spaces drives at the end. (Note: this is the drive detection order, NOT the boot order) You could also try changing the physical port your drives are connected to. Or if all of your drives are part of a storage space or RAID, you could try adding another drive to the mix.

  34. I have no problem with the stomp when I play bass Some interesting stuff for bass via stomp on Janek Gwisdalas youtube channel - I'd be amazed if he doesn't sell some presets at some point in the near future

  36. Wow. Nice! Excellent and very useful video. I've watched some of your other videos, but don't nasty snarly metal stuff so I fast forwarded. So .... it was great to see you laying down some clean bass tones. I'm always looking for ways to improve bass tone. I'll spend some more time with this and Helix Native (in Logic Pro) later this week. Thx. johnplainsong.com

  37. Well, we ARE talking about the Stomp here. I have one for my desk. For serious performance, I have no problem getting guitar and bass out of my Floor, with the Stomp for backup. If I MUST use kitchen sink presets, I can always use the Stomp for bass. But I get what you're saying. I wish my KIA was a Ferrari. :-) Horses for courses.

  38. Hi. easiest way to synchronise between the two is to 1. switch on Helix 2. open HX Edit 3. open your DAW 4. Open Helix Native in your DAW 5. Have the HX Edit window and the Native window side by side 6. Drag and drop from one to the other in whatever direction you want. You can drag and drop entire setlists in seconds.

  39. Its probably always best to save the original unprocessed guitar track, try to save your Helix preset so you can recall it later (its all a bit confusing now, eh wot?), and bounce your Helix-processed track down to a separate audio track. I've been bitten too many times using virtual instruments, expecting everything to load up "the way it used to be"

  40. You got it. The "block" is what everything in the unit is based on and there is no way to save one to which you have made a change without putting it in a preset and saving the preset. That is a software deficiency, but it often gets put in the "feature request" category.

  41. What about the volume and preset knobs? Not working. Absolute trash. I wish you guys would do a better job of QCing your updates before you put em out. This is unacceptable.
