In need of some help on a setup for my Helix Rack.
The goal is to have my 10U Rack set up so I can keep everything plugged in and either record into Logic, or play through my cabinet when just jamming without having to plug/unplug anything.
List of gear in the rack first:
Power supply
Focusrite 18i20 gen 3
Tuner
Helix Rack
Seymour Duncan Powerstage 700
The Cab is a PRS Archon 2x12
I would like to run the Helix into my interface because I usually have a few mics set up at all times and it is just easier for my workflow than using the interface built into the helix.
Ideally I just have two USBs going to my computer (interface and helix) and one power cord from the power supply into the wall. But how do I wire this all together? I'm assuming I need to have the settings in the helix rack set up so I can use my tones in either situation, but one would obviously need the cab sim turned off for playing through my cab. I guess where I'm getting tripped up is, if Im going to from the helix to my interface (ideally through SPDIF to save in I/O on the interface), but also going out of the helix into my power cab, what do I need to do to switch back and forth between the two? It's probably more simple than I'm making it seem and I've just got myself tied up overthinking it. Any help would be appreciated! I've only had my helix rack for about 2 days so it's daunting trying to wrap my head around all the routing.
