You're experiencing latency thats beyond my mortal hearing/feeling, and I use fully loaded lines a lot, as well as a number of patches that use one sound on Path A, and another on Path B, switching between them using volume changes at the end of each, switchin each between -120db and 0db repsectively (generally a gain block, but when the lines are full the output volume). One thing I do know is that Snapshots change controlled parameters in series (super quick) not in parellel, and the order of change is not (easily) manageable. That can cause 'zipping' noises, and may be what you're exceriencing. If you're deseperate, the paramater changes can be reordered in txt versions of exported patches - but don't break them. Why don't you just enable spillover to test if it meets your needs (after backing everything up of course)? That seems to be the only way you'll know if you still experience the same issue.

The usual suspects are (in preferred diagnostic order): Drivers - check your machine is upto date with OS (no hints here as you haven't said what OS), uninstall HX Edit, restart machine, full reinstall (download the right Edit for the firmware) USB cable - they wear out so try a few different ones USB port on you computer - even though nothing has changed try a different one USB port on the HX device (you don't say what type) - try a factory reset to see if its firmware related first - and try a different computer if possible If none of that works then its likely the port on the HX device requiring a service centre.

This is a user forum, so no-one here would know update timing. I'm not a mac user, but have you tried the usual "remove (fully inc drivers) and reinstall" trouble shooting that applies to all software?

I concur, the one time I had issues with something going on with volume at a gig was when the big knob was somehow enabled. And it wasn't even the one holding the guitar causing the issue!

As someone who migrated for a 500x nearly 10 years ago, with good (for the Pod) presets for every song, I can definatively say the settings do not translate between the two units. Not even close. Unfortunately, you're up for a learning curve. Fortunately, once you get it, the Helix will sound better, you'll create new patches faster, and may be more consistent. I found myself constantly tweaking most of my patches on the 500x, where as now I do minor adjustments when required, or when I think of a new way to do something want to try a new feature in a release. My suggestions to get up to speed: Spend a fair amount of time looking at Jason Saddites videos [Edit] Check out highly rated patches on custom tone - but be prepared to modify to taste/guitar and playing style Grab a small number of commercially available presets and see how they've been put together (I used Jason's, Marco Fanton, and Glenn DeLaune) Create your patches from scratch and be prepared to use different amps effects and even order them differently to the 500x Save often (not new) Backup often (new) Save favourite settings of amps and effects for reuse, and then modify as you learn more Save template(s) of your approach to smooth workflow Your next challenge will be patch leveling... but thats for later.

Something to consider re headphones vs IEMs is also the type of headphone - fully enclosed vs open back. Many report open back headphones as providing a better/more natural experience for audio produciton. I'm strictly closed back through years of recording and minimising beed to microphones, IEMs will sound even 'closer' than closed back headphones as the speaker is in your ear canal so the only air moving is in there. They will take further getting used to. I would get a set of cans that general program played through the Helix sounds good to you, and tune your patches to suit. If there's huge variability between your monitors and your headphones putting an EQ block on your patches to adjust for cans may be the way to go. See this thread about the ohmage of the Helix headphone output

Irrispective of whether it works, if your Helix is not almost new (mine is almost 10 years old) I'd be keeping it as a 'backup' of sorts. Can't see older ones retaining much value.

Noted - I'll make sure I do that. Anything else whilst you've got my attention?

Whooooooooaaaaaaa - you have the power. (to fix forums)

Dear Helix user We too are Line 6 users. We are not Line 6 support and they don't visit here. If updating the firmware doesn't fix your issue (as suggested) you need to create a Line 6 account and raise a support ticket. https://line6.com/support/ thanks L6 forum users

Do what, at what? It has what? If I'm finding the constant questions about what is or isn't in the Stadium, requests for features, formats, new versions and (updates?) inane - I'm not sure how I'll go once its released and the forums/fartbook become a cesspit of RTFM questions. A few more months to train my eyes to roll 360 degrees and my fingers to keep off the keyboard. :)

Hi - I made this ages ago, and will have changed it lots since then, but its a mulitple amp, multiple cab set-up that you can use as a starting point. When you try to change things, if it looks like you can't use an amp you want to try, delete effects on the line the amp is on until DSP is freed up. Likewise for cabs. https://line6.com/customtone/tone/5531740/

I don't understand what you want to do. You might need to explain further, or others may understand.
