Hi SymphonicDischord, Thank you for the quick response and brainstorm. This is exactly the paths I have setup. However, the second path goes out to XLR, not out to USB into computer, so I can't record using Helix as the interface. If Helix can assign my Headphones to monitor specific USB outputs, I would be all set. But I think that's a limitation to the current global settings. Does anyone else have success with a setup to record their external AMP output into Helix into USB, while monitoring with headphones? --Philipe

Has anyone recording their external amp into Helix, using the Helix as digital effects, IR, and audio interface? What I'm doing is using the 4 cable method to play live, but then I'm routing the amps speaker out (using load box) back into a parallel path into my Helix return 3. So what I want to do, is record this complete signal chain back into my helix, into USB 1/2. But the problem is, the headphone can only be assigned to multi or XLR. So that means, if I assign it to multi, I'll also be hearing the pre-amp 4 cable signal chain. I only want to hear the final power amp output, not just the pre-amp's (send/return 1/2) signal. And if I assign headphones to XLR, I can't record/send the parallel path to USB, since I just assigned the parallel paths output to XLR. So if I can assign my headphone to monitor any output (E.g usb 1/2) then I can use the parallel path to just monitor/record the amps final output (e.g. into return 3) into my computers USB 1/2. Has anyone setup their helix to record their external amp? I saw a very similar video of Pete Thorn using his Helix rack to record his external amp using helix for the IR and digital effects. But I didn't see his signal path, and I don't know if he monitored and recording only using the Helix. He might have recording and monitored this using an external interface. --Phil

Can the headphone monitoring be updated to be assignable to any specific output. Instead of just the current 3 options of 1/4, XLR and "Multi" Example, assign headphones just to monitor USB 1/2 or any other specific outputs just for recording?
