Hoping to rely on someone else's patches, created with different guitars, on a different playback system than whatever you're using, in a different listening environment, and all dialed in at an unknown volume, is a recipe for failure. You need to learn how to create the sound(s) you're after yourself, because a drag and drop solution doesn't exist... there are simply too many variables. YouTube is overflowing with Helix tutorials... start with Jason Sadites' channel. He explains very clearly and concisely how and why he uses certain things to achieve a given result, and that's what you need at this point... the perfect tonal solution can't be purchased. You gotta do it... and once you understand the device, it becomes second nature.

The USB 1/2 output pair sends the stereo output of the Helix device to your DAW. You assign it in your DAW a as the Input Source when you arm a stereo track for recording. So, yes, USB 1 is the L stereo channel and USB 2 is the R. Since you’re new to this you might also explore the potential of simultaneously recording your dry guitar. Create a mono track in your DAW and assign the input source to USB 7, which by default in Helix sends the dry guitar signal. You can use this track later if you wish to use a plug-in such as Helix Native (for which you gat a significant discount as a Helix owner). With Helix Native you can then affect the dry guitar track to provide all the processing that the Helix device can do. The presets are interchangeable between Helix and Helix Native, so you can begin by importing the Helix preset that you used while doing the initial recording and then tweaking as you wish during the development of your song. Since you have the dry track recorded you won’t have to re-record the guitar part to adjust the tone. When finished to your satisfaction in the recording you can then export the preset from Helix Native, import it into HX Edit, and take your studio tone on the road for gigs.

I did try that, which puts into original place. I will reach out to support on Monday. Thank you for your help

Hi again, If that is the situation then my first idea would work. Simply duplicate the tracks which need to change presets. Then spit the tracks where the change has to occur and delete the bits that are not needed. Example: If there is a change at bar 32 and it returns to the original preset at bar 64, split the audio file at those 2 points. Then move the split section (32 to 64) onto another track and apply another instance of HX Native with the alternative preset sound. It’s a less automated approach, but as the first section ends, any reverb trails will carry over when the second section kicks in. Repeat this for any/all tracks that needs patch changes. Switching between presets on the fly within a single instance of Native would require that your reverb/delay trails are engaged, but ultimately it is not as flexible as this “old school” technique of keeping things separate. You might require a Helix hardware unit to do this type of preset switching when playing live, but when recording it needs a different “mind set”. There is much more control working on individual parts in a mix. Hope this helps/makes sense.

Joo, das hatte ich gestern alles so gemacht, aber der download startete nicht. Jetzt hat es aber geklappt. Danke!

You should buy a Mesa Boogie, Dual Rectifier.

OK, so I spent some more (painful) time with ProTools. First, before I explain how to do this, I need to know what method you're using. Are you creating the events manually in ProTools, or recording your performance MIDI? You can use both, of course, but I'd rather not rewrite the ProTools Manual (horrible P.O.S that it is!).

About halfway down Russ5254 posting explains how to use a FBV3 on how to make settings in FBV3 driver window Dont remember how to do it in studio one at the moment because I just built new pc and have to go thru it again That said its only adding one layer in studio one and assigning midi commands in that one layer for all of the snapshots also these FBV3's are not cheap

I suppose it could be that something about the operation of that effect has changed with the firmware revision. Barring that the first thing I would look at is 'Tempo Select' and 'Global BPM' parameters under the global settings 'MIDI/Tempo' category. Maybe your globals have changed since the update.

You should update to Helix only if you need a joystick.

You shouldn’t. Stick with the sound you like.

I didn't think the Diezel would be my kind of amp but that patch sounds awesome with my strat.

The Stomp is a 2.0 device. There’s no benefit to using a 3.0 cable with it.

This is a very helpful video. Thanks for sharing.
