Hi fam, I'm quite a noob with all this gear, I never really had the money for them but since working a full time job I've been able to buy myself a Helix LT and now I have an RC 505 (only 3 days ago). I need help though. I want to use my Helix LT as my main Audio Interface, but I would like to connect my RC 505 and my Shure sm58 for my vocals either via return 1 of my LT or the mic input for the RC505. I use Reaper as my main DAW for when I stream (I just started twitch streaming a few months ago and am really enjoying the community there while I practice my songs). My current Setup: Guitar into LT, LT to RC 505 via jack. Mic into RC505. RC 505 being used as USB interface into PC/DAW. What I dont like about it: I have my own presets that I really like on my LT for both my mic and guitar. So having my voice in the RC 505, although sounds good, not as good as i want it for my ears. There is also this annoying thing where I can't figure out how to turn off the monitoring sound and only listen to the playback (so I am consistenly hearing dual tones). I've played around with USB in and USB out levels, but both completely take away the sound that goes into my DAW). My Thinking for Next setup LT as interface into PC/DAW. Use Return 1 for Mic in first chain. Guitar Input on second chain. RC 505 connected via Midi to LT. Now I'm not sure if this will work properly, I know I can then control the RC505 with a footswitch if I go this route but what about the sound? Would I also need to connect the LT and RC505 via jack (LT jack output into RC 5050 jack inputs) on top of the MIDI cables? Would I then still be able to control the Track effects of the RC505 for transitions etc? Any advice for someone who is getting into live perfomances as a solo artist would be appreciated! NOTE: I am also looking at buying a Akai mk3 mini in the near future. Thanks fam.

Thanks for the responses fam! I'll definitely look into more looping devices!

Hi fam, I'm fairly new to having my Helix LT and only recently discovered that they had loop pedals - I was in the market looking for loop pedals since I have started gigging at weddings as a side gig and wanted to upskill myself guitar and music wise. A mate of find tagged me in one of Ed Sheerans videos and how he uses his Chewie which I found out is essentially multiple loop pedals in one. I been asked to cover a few Ed Sheeran songs in the next wedding and so I started playing around with looping and trying to study him since I am new to looping - it's hellah fun! However, now I am looking at trying to get multiple looping tracks so I can add vocal loop track, a beat track and guitar. I can't seem to add multiple loop pedals in one chain on my Helix Lt. So, if anyone has a suggestion or a method of how I can essentially mimic the Chewie or the RC 600 (which I was also looking into) that would be very handy.
