wth is up with people like you, i came to these forums seeking for help and all i get is a bunch of trolling and ridicule, finally someone (codamedia) is actually trying to be helpful and you're telling him to stfu? this place is worse than TGP ffs
-
where is the midrange hump? it's as flat as it gets
-
WTF dude, do you think i would've bought the helix if i didn't want to like it?? i literally spent the last 5 days tweaking the helix, people like you make the helix community look like a bunch of triggered retards.
-
primarily the placater dirty, I spent hours yesterday using EQ's, multiple EQ's but it can't even get in the ballpark
-
Oh i had provided plenty of recorded tones on the TGP thread (which i have since removed because no one was able to help so it was pointless) thick mids simply aren't in the helix.
-
Oh sure, no mids right? I guess my analyzer is defect
-
yup, that clip is all mids
-
Lol nice trolling
-
not until i heard the elusive juicy, thick and warm helix mids
-
lmao you guys get so triggered, it's a great product, but the juicy mids are nowhere to be found If anyone can recreate the EQ of this sound with the helix (thick mids and no harsh high end) you might change my mind, but until now all the helix community has done is all bark and no bite.
-
nope, even with a spectrum analyzer it shows you can't get anything but scooped tones, but i can imagine that to be fine for the majority
-
I guess the 5% that's missing are the mids.
-
"get what you wanted in the first place - an AXE!" I never wanted an axe fx, the portability of the helix stomp is what made me get it.
-
on TGP not letting anyone help me?? did you even read the thread? I even took the time to learn the parts of the tones that are in the ballpark of what i'm trying to get so that it's easier for the people there to compare them to the original and suggest changes... but no i MUST be a trolling SHILL bought out by the EVIL FRACTAL CORPORATION goddamnit. i deleted the thread here because it was probably even worse and less useful than the response i got on TGP
-
WTF dude literally the only thing i've been doing the past 5 days is trying to get closer to the tone i want, but i'm just not getting there. Some common sense at last, thank you for understanding, the "it's your playback system" comments are driving me crazy
-
Why is it that I can hear great tone coming out of those logitech speakers and my headphones, but never when i use the helix? (the behringer doesn't sound good with anything, that's definitely going back)
-
Guys, how can i do a factory reset? I open HX native in Reaper but I can't see the "Helix Native" at the bottom where it's supposed to be for a factory reset
-
well i can at least give it a fair chance by trying other people's recommendations, but i fear i'll return it eventually.
-
That's fair, but the problem exists also with headphones, studio monitors, and i often record things to hear how they sound in context with other instruments, where the lack of focus/midrange becomes obvious. I can return the behringer and get a more expensive FRFR but i won't do that until i can get the helix to sound pleasing with any kind of speaker/headphones, if amplitube can do it, than surely helix must be able too? Btw I've ran a tech 21 blonde straight into a Alto TX210 (which you claim suffers from the same problem) and the warmth and focus was there without any of the negative things I mentioned, so i doubt the problem here is the FRFR
-
I got a Behringer B112D for live/rehearsal use, It's at home now so i can dial in patches on it. About the Fletcher-Munson thing, it seems like everything is extremely scooped by default and I don't know how to get a 'natural' sounding midrange without the thing starting to sound like a pignose. "lacking focus" is a good way to say it. Here's a patch Fried+V30.hlx
-
Calm down buddy, this thread was not created by me, i never said: "Helix LT sucks. Badly." I did make another thread asking about my issues with the helix. Maybe it's user error or I have a faulty unit, but it's not living up to fractal standards so far. If you can't help me out please take your passive aggressiveness somewhere else, I wonder why helix fans can be so toxic and there is none of that in the fractal forums, why do you feel the need to aggressively defend your favorite product? If it was as good as you say you shouldn't get so triggered over it.
-
yeah i did try some celestion and ownhammer IR's, not better per se, I guess i'll try a parametric EQ last in the chain
-
I monitor with studio heaphones and logitech speakers, but i also bought a FRFR for rehearsal, so i've been trying that out with my helix and the FRFR sounds the worst so far, the headphones sound best, but it still doesn't sound as i expected it would. the guitar i've been using most is a ESP m400m with custom 5 and Jazz pickups, medium output. So far i like the placater 'frdman' model the most but the cabs are probably where the problem is, especially through my FRFR it sounds "harsh and digital" for lack of better description. I have the HX stomp so i run a stereo TRS to XLR in the FRFR
-
Cool!! the thing i'm struggling the most with is getting rid of harshness without making it sound dull, i'm not sure how other people do it, but the high gain tones seem to lack mid-focus
-
I have a helix myself, but i think i'll return it, it just doesn't cut it in terms of EQ, warmth and feel in general. I've been looking up the forum here today because i also have problems with helix native in reaper. So after i came across this thread here and read this comment i was genuinely interested what pro's are using the helix for high gain sounds and not just for the FX. I know one guy called Vinai Trinateepakdee who makes the helix sound badass and plays stadiums and on Thai TV shows etc, but he doesn't use high gain sounds.
