  1. Your partial description of your setup makes me think that you're not understanding how 4cm works. You do not NEED 4cm to accomplish your goal. Guitar>HXS Input>Compressor>Placater>Delay>HXS L/MONO Out (probably set to INSTRUMENT Level)>PV Return. If it still hisses look at the compressor settings/try a different compressor.
  2. Reaper>Options>Preferences>MIDI Devices Make sure the HXS is set as a MIDI Output On the track you're sending MIDI from, ROUTE the Output to the HXS with the proper Channel . HXFX Global MIDI PC Rx ON. Screenshot attached.
  3. Reaper>Options>Preferences>ASIO Device Settings>ASIO Configuration Set the Sample Rate to 48k (or 44.1, whatever the Behringer prefers) and set the Buffers to 128. That should fix the problem and result in a latency of <>13.4ms. If YES THEN you can try lower Buffer settings which will result in lower latency. If NO THEN Try using Helix as the interface. That usually results in worse latency, but if it cures the crackles you know where the problem lies. ALSO - Google OS Optimization for DAW/Audio. All of the Interfaces I know of have a section either in the manual or on the Mfrs website on this process. EXAMPLE: Windows: How to set up and optimize a Digital Audio Workstation – Steinberg Support
  4. The FS needs to be the MOMENTARY type. El FS debe ser del tipo MOMENTARIO.
  5. Update the FW to 2.02 (the latest). If you're already on 2.02 perform a factory reset. If the problem persists after updating/resetting then contact support.
  6. Group 1 is the original Cat amps. Group 2 is the new additions. There's also a new manual that explains it all. Line 6 Manuals
  7. I hear that - I was you when I got my first Plug-in modeler - Amplitube 2, back in the digital stone-age. Hang in there. Us bass players are a lot smarter than guitar players give us credit for ;-)
  8. Factory presets are there for demonstration purposes and as learning tools. Should you choose to use them for performance (vs Best Practice - creating your own), delete what you don't need/modify as necessary. Some stereo FX don't sound right when collapsed to mono. Experiment. And... need I say it? READ THE MANUAL!
  9. Step 1 - Open a support ticket. Step 2 - call Ghostbusters.
  10. Operate the Toe Switch so that the Scribble Strip shows Exp 2 is selected. In HX Edit "Bypass/Controller Assign" Check that Both WAH and VOLUME are assigned to Toe Switch. Check that the WAH (name of wah) POSITION is set to Exp 1. Check that VOLUME POSITION is set to EXP 2. Manually (mouse) BYPASS the WAH block and ENABLE the VOLUME Block. SAVE the Preset. OR - delete both WAH and VOLUME blocks, SAVE, then re-insert them and those assignments should automatically be made.
  11. I can't re-write the manual - the "Pilot's Guide" - in such a way as to make it easier for you to understand, as I don't live in your head. What I suggest is that you load the Catalyst Edit SW and sit there with the manual while you go through the options. Makes the manual much more understandable. Also, DL the latest FW and manual version. Think of the Catalyst as having 12 presets, arranged in 6 banks. Any preset can be anything you want it to be. Each preset is a FILE. If you change the file and then switch to another file you lose your changes UNLESS you SAVE the file first! No, the Catalyst does not come with a FS, that's an add-on. Unfortunately, the Cat60, unlike the Cat100/200, does NOT have a MIDI Port, which is how you get more control vs the 2-button FS. MIDI with the Cat60 is done over USB and requires a computer to act as "HOST". If you want to do MIDI with the Cat60 you should look for a MIDI controller that has a HOST capability, else you'll need a MIDI HOST box. Some Morningstar and Xsonic MIDI controllers have this capability.
  12. I don't have Androids, but on my iPhone I need to enable the Microphone in Privacy & Security. Also, in the Cubase MIXER panel, there's a speaker icon that needs to be selected. No way I'm gonna pay Steinberg to use Cubase, so I've never bothered to learn much about it, so that's all I've got! Good Luck!
  13. Snapshot MIDI consists of two parts - CC#69 + a VALUE Snapshot 1 = CC#69 Value 0 Snapshot 8 = CC#69 Value 7
  14. I just checked SW's listings. There's 41 2x12 cabs with V30s. And they don't carry every one made. Which one do you want the PC212 to sound like? The PC212 is made of real wood (why it weighs a ton) and designed to sound good (to the ears of the designers) with the Eminence guitar speakers it contains. I suspect that they designed the EQ curves (that's all they are) of the "emulations" by putting those speakers in the PC212 cab and analyzing what they sounded like. So, in theory, the V30 emulation sounds like what that particular set of V30s (V30 is a product designation whose actual specifications have changed many times over the years) sounds like in the PC212 cab. IOW/bottom line - you're chasing a unicorn. My best guess is that LF RAW is the sound of the actual Eminence speaker. NATURAL is the EMULATION of that speaker. If they couldn't get the emulation of the speaker designed for the cab to be accurate, what does that say for the other emulations? I think that they should never have named the emulations, they should have simply numbered them. Without impossible expectations of brand/model accuracy people would have just tried them all until they found one that worked for the sound they were after. Would have been really funny (for the designers) to read the TGP D&M forum posts swearing that emulation #4 sounds EXACTLY like the 4x12 Marshall GB25 cab they owned 25 years ago in High School when it was actually based on a Jensen P12Q. Universal truth - LOUDER IS BETTER! LONG LIVE ROCK'n"ROLL!
  15. Global EQ is intended to be used to tune the PC to the room it happens to be in at any given time. If you're using it at home at low volume it can be used to compensate for the Fletcher-Munson effect. As I said, I use the amp's tonestack just like I would with any RW amp. I'm not so picky about the minutiae of a given tone that I feel the need to be hunting and pecking at +.5db at 527hz and -.2db at 2130hz. If that's your thing (maybe you're recording an important demo), go for it, but I get distracted and end up just playing my guitar. ;-)
  16. I start with the RW speaker associated with the amp I'm using and try the others if I don't like it. EXAMPLE - a Marshall gets a GB25 or a V30. I use the amp's tonestack just like I would ITRW. Works for me! NOTE 1 - These things sound best LOUD. They are NOT intended for bedroom use. NOTE 2 - I am not someone who is looking to duplicate EXACTLY Joe Blow's tone on the second solo of "Track 5" on his "Live at the XYZ" album. I'm just after something that works with the song I'm playing and/or simply inspires me to play.
  17. How are you connecting the HXFX? The MC6 can act as a HOST, but the HXFX cannot. "The Player supports MIDI over USB as client (USB B socket) as well as host (USB A socket). You could feed MIDI from your DAW into its USB B socket via the same cable used for USB Audio and Rig Manager for Windows® and macOS®. The Player can also be connected to devices with classical 5-pin sockets like any universal MIDI controller via an USB MIDI interface. Simply connect the interface to your MIDI controller’s MIDI output and the Player’s USB A port. Some MIDI controllers, for example Uno4Kemper, support the KEMPER bi-directional MIDI protocol, which requires the MIDI OUT jack of the interface connected to their MIDI input." If I'm reading this correctly, with the HXFX connected from its USB B Port to the Player's USB A Port it SHOULD work, but if not, you might try using a cable like this: Amazon.com: TENINYU USB to MIDI Cable Converter 2 in 1 PC to Synthesizer Music Studio Keyboard Interface Wire Plug Controller Adapter Cord 16 Channels Supports Computer Laptop Windows and Mac : Musical Instruments
  18. Try a factory reset and if that doesn't work contact support.
  19. This forum is not an official Line6 support forum, just user-to-user. Go here to open a support ticket: Line 6
  20. You can't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket... If you don't win, contact support, but do the factory reset first as it's the first thing they'll tell you to do.
  21. The devil is often in the details. Give me the details. "I'm using the Helix (ABC) amp into an (XYZ) amp return. Helix output is set to (???)." The preamp will always be less loud than the full amp (which models the poweramp and interaction between the pre and poweramp as well as the Speaker Impedance Curve). Attach a sample preset so I can see exactly what you're doing.
  22. That's why FX Loops were invented - so delays/reverbs could be placed AFTER the distortions/amplifier sections. Put your Flashback AFTER ToneX. The ToneX output is INSTRUMENT LEVEL (per IK support, I ASKED), so it works perfectly. This is the same as putting it in the FX Loop (4cm) of the HXS with the FX Loop set to INSTRUMENT. EXCEPTIONS - Surf music and certain David Gilmour sounds depend on having these FX (especially reverb tanks) BEFORE the amp. Surf music in particular was played using primarily clean high-powered/high headroom Fender amps. Gilmour used Hiwatt DR103 amps.
  23. I have never noticed this in respect to a specific block position, but it happens regularly with delays, usually when left on overnight, on both my Helix floor and HXS. It is also not specific to 3.71, as it has been happening for a long time. It seems to get better for a while if I do a factory reset (don't forget to back up first!). I'm pretty sure it's a known issue. Do open a support ticket so that they know that it is still happening and is widespread. I've been meaning to open a ticket myself and will do so this week.
  24. On the Powercab Tab, REMOTE is set to OFF. Set REMOTE to PRESET.
