I have the exact same crazy problem, and this is the only post that tries to explain our problem. which is also difficult to describe.... basic, fake, unlistenable sound, it seems like the digital of the 2000s and it's inexplicable because helix now has enormous quality from the samples you hear and is used by professionals on stages! so have you solved it by now? I don't think it's a sound card problem, I had the same bad feeling years ago with HELIX LT too

I confirm, the help on the forums including yours is much more reliable and timely than the official support tickets.... and to think that before every purchase I watch dozens of tutorials on YouTube and read the manuals....yet without this topic I was still in the shi* Anyway I wanted to go step by step... I started from amplitube...then I saw that many professionals use helix and I wanted to try my hand at that.... I wonder if I should stop or go to fractal haha however the final news is that for better or worse everything I need now works... but like years ago with my first helix lt, with the line 6 systems I hear a sound that doesn't convince me... it's not as clear and defined as It happens to me in amplitube... I also don't understand why there are so many professionals who use it with notable audio samples.... Maybe I'll understand what I'm doing wrong in a week when a super expert colleague on Helix comes and sets up the tent in my studio until we get to the bottom of it thanksss

I'm just a guitarist who wants to have his own backing track and record over his parts (pink floyd 95% of cases XD) I'm not an aerospace engineer for Cubase! I took it only because I brought amplitube to the maximum possible level and now I wanted to see where I got with helix native, which however needs the DAW to work (in amplitube it's all in one, how convenient it was for us lazy and simple people XD) so I took the Cubase + native offer, I didn't think it was such hell haha however at the moment at least I can hear my guitar with all the complex native rig.... it's a valid sound but still not perfect like in amplitube, it's certainly a question of adjusting the input, instrument track and output volumes because moving those parameters change a lot....

-ok yes I confirm: 13 ms of latency with 512 of buffering if I lower the buffering (256,128,64) I start to hear problems in the sound as if the PC was struggling, like a "ruined" sound usually everyone tells me that with high buffering there is latency, fortunately there are no problems or I was ruined haha - on the issue of not hearing the audio track now I'm devastated, tomorrow I'll follow your advice and tell you, but this is not a worrying problem, it's Cubase which is made for aerospace engineers - the issue that worries me the most is losing the sound card, it's as if it were disconnected and I no longer hear anything either in Cubase or outside of Cubase (youtube for example, or music in general) and I have no way of fixing it, I have to turn off the card audio, turn it back on and everything is fine again. So is it a problem of open windows? Cubase, Internet etc? I had opened them before and it did so after a couple of hours of work...are you sure it's not a problem with the tired PC or sound card? It happened to me a few times even with amplitube, rare, and always after prolonged use....

I have two tracks, a backing track and my recording... I press play and I only hear the backing track although there is the recorded track with also the drawing of the sound wave so there is something... I have no words

now after a couple of hours of use I lose the connection with the sound card, apart from Cubase, I can't even hear YouTube for example.... maybe the PC or sound card is too tired after 2 hours of use? yet another problem...

with a low buffer size I heard a horrifying sound, with the buffer at 512 I hear the correct sound and to my great surprise I have no latency problems, I don't know how this is possible. now the sound is decent and I have to manage the various volumes between input, track recorded with monitoring and output.....at least I can do something...I even recorded but inexplicably then it won't let me listen to the recorded track if I press play ! How crazy is Cubase????

any error in settings or screen you need to see jpspoons?

Tonight I'll send you some screenshots of the settings... It's not the fault of the preset, I defined it as noise or a bad sound but it's as if the PC was struggling to process the sound...it really sucks, while when I use amplitube I have professional quality and definition.. I'm always afraid that since it's the same PC, maybe the amplitube and everything else will conflict XD

Maybe 2.80 ghz is it too little?for pc windows ....i have 16 gb of ram....

ok friend thanks for the help now it works, it was enough to simply activate the monitoring on the track, the speaker image and everything works... the only problem now is that the audio sucks, it's noisy, it crackles, as if it were a problem with the sound card or the power and capacity of the PC.... on amplitube everything is perfect, much cleaner and quieter, perhaps because it's all from the same amplitube family and sound card....maybe I should use another sound card?

thanks for the help, the initial input and output settings seem to be correct, while I never noticed the icon to arm the track, maybe just activate that? I repeat that the problem is that, I insert native but even by putting effects in the rig the guitar remains clean and straight

I think it's just a settings problem, I think all the programs are installed and inserted correctly

correct, I want to hear my guitar in real time with the sound processed by the helix effects...I just don't know where the input monitoring is in Cubase...I shouldn't have latency, but I had it with amplitube and I have a high-performance sound card and PC
