I just recently tried using my Helix as a recording interface and I absolutely love it. You just plug it in and it sounds good. Two questions that I wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts on:
1) When using the Helix as an interface there's no way to control the volume of the guitar I'm playing vs. the volume of the mix. I've compensated for this by running everything but the guitar into a special bus and then controlling the volume that way. Does anyone have any better suggestions? I should add that I like the zero-latency option of hearing what I'm playing straight out of the unit, and I would prefer not to use the DAW monitoring.
2) Is there a way to boost the signal? Especially on the DI 7/8 inputs? Is that done through channel volume? Is it the main volume?
Like I said you can't beat the sound of the Helix, but I just wish I had some more control over the signal gain and volume mix and thought you guys might know. Thanks.
