  1. I changed the settings on cakewalk preferences/playback and recording to Wasapi exclusive instead of Asio. Playback and recording works now, but what's the difference between Asio and Wasapi? Am I losing audio quality doing this?
  2. I'm having the same problem. I updated to Helix 3.50 and cakewalk hangs when trying to record or load projects. The problem seems to be with HX Edit rather than the firmware. How do I roll back the cakewalk driver to 1.96? If I uninstall and reinstall, will I lose all of my projects and recordings? Audacity works fine, but I'm used to Sonar and Cakewalk, and have been using this for years. Thanks.
  3. Thanks for the help. I just wanted to clarify a few things. What is the purpose of the spdif Clarett "optical in?" I have an expensive "Cinnamon" optical cable connected to it right now from the Helix spdif out (the kind that have phone jack shaped connectors with plastic covered nubs). I also have two LiveWire digital 75 ohm coax cables that connect to the more conventional, round, gold-colored spdif in and out, on the back of Clarett. Should I connect Helix and Clarett using the "optical in" with optical spdif cable, or the Livewire digital spdif cable to gold colored coax spdif out? Do I plug only the Clarett usb in if I use Helix through Clarett? There's never a situation where both are plugged in, right? How do I set external clock source on the Clarett? I should download the latest asio drivers for the Clarett? Where can I find drivers for the Helix. It didn't come with a flash drive, so I assume I dl all of that. Will going straight through the Helix cut out impedance, and how much does impedance effect tone. Thanks again
  4. Recently, I upgraded to a L6 Helix, two M-Audio speaker monitors, and the Clarett+ 4pre audio interface. My issue is how to connect what I have to get the most out of it. This setup isn't for gigs, it's for home recording. 1.-- I have a spdif cable connected from the output of the helix to the "optical in" of the clarett+. It's a "cinnamon" toslink optical cable. I have two more "digital" livewire spdif cables. I see there is an extra spdif "in" and "out" on the back of the Clarett audio interface, besides the optical in. On the Helix, the spdif output is connected to the clarett optical in, but the input is available. How many spdif cables should I connect? How should they be connected? Also, I have xlr to 1/4 cables--the music store said I would still need these even with Spdif input and output. Do I need to use two xlr - 1/4 cables in addition to spdif (Helix xlr outputs to Clarett audio interface 1/4 line inputs)? Should I not use both spdif and xlr together? 2.-- Both the Clarett+ audio interface and the Helix use usb interfaces to connect to a computer. Clarett uses a mini usb, and Helix uses a more traditional (looking) usb. I was told to either use the Helix usb or both, and they leaned toward both being preferable. Which is the best configuration? 3.-- I feel novice as hell asking this, but should I plug my instrument (guitar, in this case) into the Clarett AI or the Helix? If I want distortion, do I have to plug it into the Helix? Appreciate the help ~Ven
