Thanks for the amp suggestions. I just tried the clarity and it seems pretty promising... going to mess with it more later as well as the Elmsley. The amp I use when I set up my presets is a Roland JC22. My other amp is a 90's Mesa Rocket 44.

Thanks, guys... lots of good comments here despite having little information to go on. I appreciate it. Any suggestions on this a good amp and cabinet model? I've tried things like JC Jazz Rivet but couldn't get a good sound... probably due to bad settings on my part. It is a D'Angelico semi hollow. Bob Weir model to be exact. I am looking for a basic jazz/rock/fusion-ish sound that is modern but displays the sound of the guitar. Problems I'm running into are not getting a nice range of sound and having a lot of that acoustic body low end boominess. I had found that copying tracks that I use for my solid bodies and tweaking them was not working out, so I'm trying to go from the ground up.

I'm creating some patches specifically for use with my hollowbody guitar and, unlike my normal patches, I'm having some trouble getting a usable sound with regards to eq-ing, etc. I'm looking for general tips relating to getting a good sound with a hollowbody guitar. I understand that there are many factors that could affect this, so no need to explain that. However, if anyone plays a hollowbody and has experience getting set up with HX Stomp and would like to share some general observations, I would appreciate the help. Thanks.

Is there a way to play and pause the looper playback in Edit while you are working?

Ok... thanks guys. I'm going to try this tomorrow and see if I can get everything working properly.

Ok... that would probably be it since I don't know how to do that. Oddly, they were changing individually for me in the past, so I must have done something right without knowing it.

Just to be clear, if I make any changes on one snapshot, it is immediately changing all three.

My snapshots were fine at one point but I've noticed, now, that if I make changes to an effect in one snapshot it is changing it in all three. I thought this would be related to the recall/discard setting, but switching it doesn't seem to have changed anything. Is there something else I might need to change? Thanks for the help.

MacOS 12 developer's beta is now available. Any company that wanted to could, as of right now, start testing their software for the new OS. Companies that are on top of their game and want to be ready have all the tools and time they need as of right now.

Yes

I also often find Apple infuriating... but I'm here to talk about Line 6. I find Line 6 very infuriating. Apple is going to provide them with all the tools they need to be ready for the next macOS in just over a week or so. Will Line 6 take advantage of this and be prepared when the next OS hits the public, to say that they are compatible? Based on past performance... no... they will dump no resources into this, ignore their customers, a year will pass and they will finally have their software ready, just before macOS 13, or whatever the next phase is. I find it infuriating that some forum users will suggest that the right thing to do is run a years old OS (High Sierra, etc), when other people want to keep their macs up to date.

lol... meaning that they claim mac compatibility. I think everyone here, except you, knows what I meant.

...and yet they love to have that "Mac compatible" on the packaging for their products. Maybe it should read "Mac compatible as long as you haven't updated your OS any time recently". I wonder how that would affect sales?

Hey, great work on this... macOS 12 gets announced/released in a couple weeks. Way to keep up.

Where did you see these notes?

Do we know if the "miscellaneous bug fixes" (from the patch notes) includes the fix for the Rat pedal that they broke in 3.0?

They obviously don't invest much of their resources to the software/web elements of their business.

Yeah, it sounds like Daz3D is not doing a very good job. Adobe, however, seems to be doing pretty well. Their stuff is running on Big Sur with minor issues... they have openly listed specific issues, which seem to be pretty small and possible workarounds... also, they only ask that customers not upgrade if they are in the middle of a project (which seems very reasonable)... and they already have betas that run on M1 silicon (which is even more recent than Big Sur)... overall, I think they are doing pretty well considering their software is light years more complex than Helix Edit. I've been running Photoshop without issue.

Yeah, that is completely true, but it's also the point of the developer beta... so that they can be ready. Now that the final release is out, you can see what companies invested resources in getting their products ready.

So, you believe that Microsoft and Apple are lining up all the many, many producers of software when there's a new beta OS update and one by one, in some kind of order of importance, "fixing" the problems that their software is having with their OS? And that Line6 is waiting for their turn to get fixed? I'm just trying to understand.

Here's a specific example of a company who had an incompatibility with Big Sur early in the beta... Dropbox. Dropbox would simply crash when you opened it. Instead of telling their customers not to upgrade their OS, they fixed the incompatibility, released an app update and everything was resolved. That is how it works. OS updates break app compatibility all the time... the companies update their software. Line6 and other audio companies that make software simply as an afterthought so that they can sell their hardware as "works with Windows and Mac" don't put much resources into keeping things up to date. Also... I haven't insulted you at all.

Nothing in the article you copy/pasted answers the question I asked... What is the "bug" you are talking about in the update that is causing Line6's software to run with problems?

What is the "bug" you are talking about in the update that is causing Line6's software to run with problems?

Sure... you are right. Probably the Adobe stuff (or something like that) and a very limited number of high profile things, but an unmeasurable percent of the software out there.

I think the more people who are on these forums encouraging them to update certainly can't hurt. The thing that hurts is many people excusing them from the responsibility of keeping up to date. I'm also hoping you are right.
