lepepzzz, If I am understanding your question here is a good place to start. Also, I create a playlist first to create the song within. https://manuals.line6.com/en/helix-stadium/live/song-view Before starting you may want to completely read the information in the above link as well as the following links ... https://manuals.line6.com/en/helix-stadium/live/the-song-screen https://manuals.line6.com/en/helix-stadium/live/performing-songs https://manuals.line6.com/en/helix-stadium/live/the-song-list https://manuals.line6.com/en/helix-stadium/live/flags https://manuals.line6.com/en/helix-stadium/live/flag-list I found, for me, that reading these links several times before starting the process AND making mistakes to learn from in the process, helped me. YMMV jpd

ZenBalancer, As far as your question concerning the Helix Stadium, since the Expand D10 not here yet so nothing is for sure until it is for sure; even AI has been a little hallucinogenic with some of its answers. With respect to the OG, while it may get answered here, would be better asked in the OG Helix forum. jpd

AmplifireMilano, Can you re-export the stems/wav files with these characteristics ... 44.1kHz @ 32bit? And it may seem strange but set tracks to mono. The Stadium conversion process is supposed to create the stereo tracks and adapt the characteristics to the Stadium's needs. Not sure if that is really what happens since I do not have the native code. But this is what has worked for me. jpd

belfastsong, I used to have issues several years ago and decided to update my Wi-Fi network & incoming internet line. Your Wi-Fi and internet may be really solid and a non issue so ... I only use the Wi-Fi for the firmware update via the Stadium XL itself. I set the app to NOT autoconnect and make sure I am logged out of the app and Stadium XL before logging into the Stadium to update. That way I can log into the app to update the app while the Stadium XL is updating. I then wait for both to be finished. At that point I shutdown the computer then turn it back on. And I do the same for the Stadium XL. I have found with the OG Helix that creating a backup of the Stadium XL, resetting it to default once I have first restated it, then restoring the backup seems to make my pedal fairly stable with less issues than I am reading about. But that is just my experience. With the new Showcase feature I have yet to see how it affects my song library. jpd

d_dunki, Here is link to the initial earlier post with some information on the tests several of us tried when ReverendLove first posted the issue. jpd

t-ario, Best feedback. I have found modelers are, well, modelers. I use IEM and trust the sound personnel. In fact, my good friend for helping live performance tone is a soundman I know who will work with me from time to time to A/B between just my modeler which was the OG Helix Floor & is now the Helix Stadium XL. He does his tone shaping via the PA. I will run the Helix Stadium XL and have him record it direct out to tape. I will then use the 4CM with one of my Mesa amps and have him record that. I do not have my Stadium out right now, however, I noticed there is a new setting in the speaker which to my ear is getting a close in the room feel/sound. I believe it is the last adjustable setting. To the point of this conversation, I have found no reason to use my amp for enclosed room venues. Outside venues I do use my amp. And again, it is up to our individual ears, styles, and taste to determine what works for us. jpd

blindner, Have you opened a support ticket? If not you will need to so you can have the Line 6 support staff address this. jpd

brettspahr, What tube amp are you using? jpd

chasingMango, You should ask this question in the Stadium forum. There was a YouTube video post-presentation or possibly at NAMM which had a brief "blip on the radar" about possible improvements based upon internal ideas and customer requests.

I had this problem however I did not perform a reset to default. Also, even when no sound was coming out the meters did register audio. Hopefully my next statement would come back to haunt me. So far I still have audio working fine. I first create a playlist then import the stems into the song I create within the playlist. I use individual stems @ 44.1 kHz exported from Reaper after importing and setting as mono individual tracks. Stadium converts the files into stereo and whatever the rate is it needs for me (which I do not know off hand). I did have to careful with flags. The first time I had a couple on top of each other and thought I was loosing my mind. jpd

ReverendLove, Thanks. I agree that it needs to be removed for now to follow what I did. I had to remove all the Line 6 apps, and I mean ALL Line 6 apps except Helix native and the Helix Native uninstaller. I even had to figure out which Helix HX Edit, POD, Monkey, and Line6Central apps & uninstaller(s) to remove first and then go through the tedious task of removing every annoying previous version of the multiple Line 6 uninstallers as well as all drivers related to Line 6. Though the uninstall process didn't say to reboot, I rebooted every time I uninstalled an app, driver, etc. That is a nervous habit from my R&D days. Once I finalized everything and ran the dism & sfc utilities three times, rebooting each timer, (did I say I'm neurotic?) I used the show hidden devices feature in Device Manager. I didn't have anything related to Line 6. I then installed the latest Stadium App and everything worked as I stated and showed in previous mentions and pictures in my replies within this thread. I do not have any unknown devices; no Helix Stadium Bulk Transfer. I do not plug in the USB-C device while using the Stadium App. The USB-C is separately used for DAW only. That is my findings so far. Hope your system will work as you need at some point. jpd

ReverendLove, Do you still have Line6Central installed? I believe you do but I do not remember if I specifically asked you and just assumed from your previous statements it is still installed. If not I do not recommend installing it now. If you do, please let me know. jpd

Mystic368, I agree it is a drag that the reverend's needs are still successfully addressed. I started with punch card Fortran programming in 1969 then dabbled in COBOL (though I see some blogs spelling it Cobalt for some reason), MASM, and other low level & then high level languages. I was even fortunate enough to correspond with Mr. Torvalds during the Linux Slackware 1.0 era. For now I use the USB-C for my DAW only since Line 6 hasn't disclosed any specific path for using it other than firmware updates if necessary. I do not have the same issue others are posting about. My Wi-Fi has been very stable with the exception of a router arp table clear I preformed to clean up some things and brought my Wi-Fi environment back to peak performance. I do know that I did a complete and deep dive removal of all OG Helix drivers, applications, and uninstall programs. I did find that there were several versions in parallel that Windoze (my way of spelling the OS) hadn't properly cleaned up. Why I do not have the issue is frustrating for me because I would be able to have some fun performing stepwise analysis and possible solutions. I hate feeling unable to benefit others when I can. Hopefully this will be solved at some point as it is not unique to the reverend. jpd

maxnew40, So the good news would be, though not as good as being integrated, that shipment for pre-orders are about 6 to 7 weeks out. I know my ship to doorstep for my Stadium took only about 4 business days. And a friend of mine had his rep place expedite which set his ship to delivery at only 2 days. I do hope you will be able to use your variax(s) soon! jpd

jpdesroc, I do understand your desire to use the Line 6 product with your vintage Fender amp. I will offer my thoughts though the decision is based upon an assumption. Based upon the year series (for now 1960s or 1970s based upon collector sites) of your amp having the FX loop mod done will devalue your collectable value by several tens to several hundreds or more dollars of value. I have read the cost of the mod using a highly qualified tube amp specialist technician would be parts + labor @ a few hundred US dollars. But the labor is based upon the techs rate more than the "approximate" most blogs state. The option would be to purchase something similar to the "Fryette PS-2A Power Station Integrated Reactance Amp v2" which has a fx loop and a highly adjustable soak. Was have read there are lower cost choice to the Fryette but I have not found any with a simple search; you may. One other option is to get a FRFR stage speaker (I actually only use the IEM system for myself or the stage full back monitor system provided to me) and use the new Agoura fender deluxe amp(s) within the Stadium. I know this isn't your desire, however, I have discovered for small venues this works great and I can us my Mesa JP-2C or Mesa V:35 with a midi interface for mid size outside to large outside venues if I want. Though I must admit since the mark IIC+ model was added I have yet to use my guitar amplifiers lately. Or stick with your setup for now. As always, it is your choice. jpd

Gavin3554, It is weird. Correct timezone & date/time was my main "first check" when the Microsoft server farms and VMWare virtual hosts I managed would either lag badly or go off line completely. Got to love technology that is supposed to help us worry less by worrying more about the "why's this happening" moments. ;-) jpd

t-ario, Thanks. Here is an earlier thread with some pictures and direction relating to your comment as well. jpd

airguitargb, Never fear. You will not just figure it out, you will have fun with the unlimited ways the Helix can open your mind. Also, I can't believe I am a few months away from being 76 years old. I started the path to the Helix about 10 years ago and have not looked back. I did just trade up but that discussion is for another time. There is a person by the name of Jason who is one of many Helix tutorial "kings" on youtube. You can start by listening to the default presets that come with the Helix. Many are named "similar" to the songs they represent. I found that a decent 250k ohm open back headphone set like the beyerdynamic dt990 works well for in room testing for tone and sound level. datacommando is correct hat you will need to work with the sound person for your playback system. I would continually work with our soundman at least once a month when possible. Anyway, here is Jason's Line 6 KB page and also his youtube channel. And as you search you will find more tutorial videos. You should find that your pace will quicken as you develop a self-learning path as most of us have. https://kb.line6.com/helix-tutorials-by-jason-sadites https://www.youtube.com/@JasonSadites/search?query=Helix Floor You will want to focus on the Helix Floor as opposed to the Helix Stadium XL for now. Again, have fun and enjoy the ride. jpd

mikel311, Before I respond, are you referring to the following capability as outlined by phil_m in this Helix discussion? Thanks for any clarification. jpd

boynigel, Have you opened a ticket and then kept it open? What you can do if you have opened one and it has been closed is to continually add info which will reopen it until you get a final word as to what Line 6 tech is doing concerning updates or fixes. If you haven't opened one you can open one now and follow the previous suggestion to get some final resolve. jpd

maxnew40, If the click track is independent of the other tracks just use the matrix feature to set the click track to zero volume in the XLR output and/or 1/4 output. You can leave it up in the headphones if you're using those for the IEMs. jpd

Nos402, Is this with the mic at 45 degrees or ??? Thanks jpd

All, Here is what I just posted within my ticket on this issue. I did not proceed with a reset to factory default. ____________________________________________________________ ticket info ______________________________________________________________________ I was able to remove it in the application and it removed it from the device. I did wait about 10 minutes doing other things before checking the device for the song file to be deleted. But that worked, at least it appears to work. This time I created a setlist then imported the stem files into the setlist. After that I added flags for snapshot changes using two separate presets. After a day I changed out the flags to use only one of the presets. I have been creating presets, powering it off and on, and I even took it to church this past Sunday. I did not use Showcase but I did have it unplugged since Sunday. I turned it on today, selected the preset first, and then started the backing tracks. Everything is working as expected and I have sound. Next, as a test, I booted into the maintenance mode and preformed a backup. I then booted back into preset/play mode and Showcase is still working as expected. So, not sure what I did right or wrong. But those are my methodology and findings so far. ____________________________________________________________ ticket info ______________________________________________________________________ Either this is bug or the instructions may not be clear or complete yet. I have not closed my ticket and am still requesting they determine the issue so we DO NOT have to keep resetting to factory default. jpd

mdmayfield, Since this is a user based forum, this is a great opportunity to do this for us and report back your findings? From a theoretical aspect, as long as the wi-fi subnet of the linux box is the same and the Helix Stadium (XL or non XL) it sounds logical. You'd still have to configure the TCP/IP protocol within Wine for the subnet, I understand. But then, you could always use "Linux Bottles" as your GUI driven interface instead. jpd

anthowaters, Thanks for the update. jpd
