  1. I can't confirm nor decline. For sure I have seen this for couple of months, but I can't tell when I could see that for the first time (actually found it accidentally as OP author).
  2. Both the newest. Big Sur 11.2 and GarageBand 10.4.2 but I can confirm it was for good couple of months here. That is why I went bit confused, no offense.
  3. This is my garageBand and obviously have View dropdown and can change it.
  4. That is basically misleading. There is option in GarageBand to change view to have knob controls instead of UI. No need to reinstall to switch back, just use proper view from the list...I do not have Logic, have GarageBand and can confirm I could use knob view.
  5. I have changed interface to Audient ID4 and now everything is ok. 0 clipping, dynamics works perfectly. Finally I am very happy with Native. With even more input gain in Helix the sound is not distorted / clipping and there is less noise. Finally feel like with amp.
  6. Thank you for your reply. There are no drivers on Mac to be installed. As described in my post I am using INST switch and guitar is plugged to Hi Z (Inst port). If gain is set to zero, signal is very weak, I need to set very even higher output volume inside of the DAW and amps are not breaking as they should. Looks like you have good results with your unit, therefore it might be something is wrong with my Solo and I will try to upgrade it. EDIT Decreased gain and I get better results if Solo is not giving green light. Will try to play with this a bit as many of videos / guides telling to have input with green diode (not red) but without it it's much better. Still I need to add a lot of volume here and there to hear it.
  7. Hello, first of all "Hello" and I know this is another post as of millions already, nevertheless I did not find answer to my question. Maybe you guys would be able to help me. Not sure whether my problem is with Helix or rather with my setup or myself. So.... what is my setup first: Fender Classic Player 60s with CS69 Scarlett Solo 2nd gen BESPECO RA300 guitar cable (ironically giving less fizz than Fender cable I had before) headphones -> Senhheiser HD598 / AKG mk2 k240 Big Sur up to date as of today What is my problem? Well, the issue is with sound of Helix. How do I connect? Guitar -> Scarlett Hi - Z instrument input, gain set to around 11-12 o clock, staying with green ranges, no clipping, Direct Monitoring OFF -> GarageBand -> Helix Native Symptoms: 1. Very low sound of factory presets and also 95% presets I download from custom tone. My Helix input and output is set as factory presets, input and output signals are within suggested range, staying with green / yellow range. I know I can adjust output volumes here and there, however I need to do this drastically to get anything I can hear. For example - I am attaching preset which sounds very good and with expected volume, so you can understand how loud it is actually set up. In comparison when I plug Overloud THU it is sounding loud enough or too loud even just out of box. 2. Factory presets sounds very bad, distorted, lack of proper dynamic response, fizzy, hizzy, very digital. I do understand they are not awesome, but I have seen couple of vids where factory presets were checked and sounds at least acceptable and I am not getting anything close. Why do I stick to compare to factory presets? Because I believe if I get them working I would use potential of Helix. 3. Most of distortion and overdrive pedals sounds clipping or very bad. For instance all Fuzz pedals are too Fuzzy even at 1/3 of the gain. I have tried to reduce Hi - Z input on Solo between what I have now to even zero, then it's lacking of volume, body, dynamic response, and it's not getting any colour (means signal too low). Obviously I am doing something wrong, but the biggest issue is low sound of factory presets. I do not have any sound in GarageBand decreased, tried Reaper too, they sounds very low in sound, almost inaudible. I need to add around +20db here and there to hear them, but then they sounds crap. I am considering buying something else than Scarlett Solo, which seems to be bottleneck here. I am seeing however people have good results with it, so throwing $100 for i.e. Presonus Audiobox seems to be lottery. Or I just do not understand how I shall use Native and I am expecting something I should not? This is something I might accept too :) but hard to accept not getting even 50% of quality of sound on factory presets vs some samples on internet. Also I would expect factory presets while not great at least audible on level you can hear. I understand it is hard to help through internet but I am desperated. GILMOUR SOUND.hlx
  8. Hey, not on my Mac now, but I recall in GarageBand you can set each plugin to use it's UI (this is what you are looking for, and there MUST be a button for it) or you can use simplified view (which you are presenting on your image). I played a bit with GarageBand buttons and had same view as you but I was able to back to Native UI just by one click.
  9. Thank you. I have 2nd gen of Solo. I tried lot of advises already and just couple of minutes ago I read about switching off Direct Monitoring in Scarlett. That actually helped a bit to get sound of Native bit louder which was also part of my problem. There are some presets sounding awesome (attached), nevertheless all factory presets and most of custom tones just sound similar to sample posted by OP. Helix is not clipping, staying in green range, but still it's not what I would expect for that price. Maybe Scarlett is an issue, so after holidays will try with Presonus. GILMOUR SOUND.hlx
  10. Hey, it's my first post here and sorry for replying to old post. I listened to your sample and have exactly same problem and all standard presets sounds same awful as in your sample. I just can't get Helix Native to sound right with Scarlett Solo. Other plugins works (for i.e. Neural DSP). Did you fix your sound?
