HI

Is it OK to use a Helix LT on its side ?

I'm using it for recording and don't have much room.

I use edit on the pc to change parameters.

I'm thinking of the heat dissipation of the unit more than anything,

like, will it shorten its life using it on its side

I have kept all my old Line 6 Stuff because of the inability to migrate presets.

It's because old projects can be re-visited and re-mixed 

A modeler isn't bad because a new one comes along.

I'm looking at putting a pedal before the Stomp so i can get a level input from different guitars.

It's so if use a Tele' I'll have the same input as a Les Paul into the stomp.

I just wondered if anyone had any good results from pedals.

I'm thinking of the Boss LM-2

Brilliant i couldn't see the video on my rubbish phone. Many Thanks for that

Hi

Ive just come to this with the same question.

How do you create the second path ?

Great. Thanks for your help.

Hi, I've just updated to 3.8 and the main volume knob doesn't work.

Is there a parameter that I need to change ?

The manual says the knob is for the output and headphone volume

Thank You. That's a deal breaker for me. i thought it would be great if you load up amps and cabs like helix.

Hi,

I've read the manual but just to make sure.

The Pod express amps and cabs are fixed. 

For example you can't change a Fender clean for a AC30 ?

Thanks Craig

I'll have a look at those, i think boxy sums up what I'm hearing.

Hi

At the moment I use a Helix LT which then feeds a Native Instruments KA 6 for inputting to the pc.

If i were to buy Helix Native, what would be the best way of getting a clean signal from my guitar to the pc ?

Would there be a preset that would do this ? or, would i plug into the native Instruments KA 6 ?

Could be the motherboard or it's drivers. Or Windows 11.

You have to set up the BIOS (Steinberg have tips as do some some of the other companies like Presonus)

Rule of thumb for me is, use gaming boards like Gigabyte or Asus ROG. These are built for audio / visual.

Hi

Does anyone have or create a Click 5 tone ? I'm nowhere near it.

Hi

Just tried this but I don't have the IR the attachment just downloads the preset

Hi

I know they used the original Pod to get their sound. So the nearest I can find are these.

I think the Guild guitar has a lot to do with it as well.

Great,

I've stolen that.

I wonder if you could help with a Click 5 tone.

I notice there's a 70's type of Les Paul tone to the songs but can't get anywhere near it.

I'm listening to this track again, great track

Thanks All for the comments, I'll try and take all this on board and get tweaking.

Thanks I'll try that.

I'm also trying to find this : Chad Boston released a free ir for the "amp in room",

Which i saw on the Gearpage web site but can't find the actual download.

Hi

I'm recording at Home using Cubase

I'm struggling adding a guitar to an upfront mix.

Having gone through different presets I'm thinking it's the Helix sounding as if the amp is too far back.

It sounds like an amp is further back than the drums and bass.

Can anyone recommend IR's to get this Amp In Room sound ?

I've seen different ones on the internet but am not sure which would work

Many Thanks

Hi

I record using a PC. Should I let the PC boot first and then switch on the Helix ?

or, should i switch on the Helix first ?

OK. Thank You.

Hi

I'm new to USB recording and am using Cubase 12 pro.

In the manual it show that the connections to the studio speakers when recording should be from the XLR sockets.

Is it OK to monitor from the 1/4"  output sockets ? or, will it damage the equipment.

Also how do i get to the global settings using the Helix Edit ?

Thanks, Ill just ignore for now.

No, still says 6 of 11 lifetime activations.
