Although I don't approve of the aggressive attitude of the posts from datacommando towards phil_m, I am interested in how the physical connection to the Helix would work to use the Helix a strictly an audio interface for recording to my DAW. I'd like to know if you can use all 8 inputs simultaneously to record. This would make the value of this device go up in my (and others) books. The confusion comes when trying to figure out how you would go about to physically connect 8 sources to be recorded via the USB audio interface. I think I read that the "Guitar In" and "Aux In" don't work simultaneously in a preset, so I assume that they also don't work as simultaneous inputs through USB to a DAW. So my question is, what are the 8 physical inputs you would use to record 8 sources simultaneously?
So, for example, looking at the image below:
Would you plug:
guitar 1 into the "Guitar In"
Vocals into the "Mic In"
bass into "return 1"
acoustic into "return 2"
guitar 2 into "return 3"
drum machine into "return 4"
keys into "SDIF in"
something else into "Variax"
Or are those not the right jacks to use
