Sir, Thank you for your wisdom and kindness. I will be trying both as soon as the Air Force lets me go home for a day.

Silverhead, Thank you for the suggestion. I did exactly that and the volume produced by the USB input is overwhelming. I am listening via headphone jack and the audio overpowers the guitar. Is there a way to reduce ONLY the volume of the MacBook in the Helix (globally)? I thank you for your input and the entire community's assistance. You all have been welcoming and helpful. As I get ready for my next deployment, this assistance helps take a load off my mind. Can anyone suggest a good reference where users are posting their individual settings in order to create a specific tone? For example, recommended config for an acoustic sound or generating a 12-string sound or EVH tones? I know I can purchase packs to install but, on an airman's, pay, I am lucky if I can afford a soda a times. I bow before the wise and wonderful people in this community.

Please forgive me if I am posting in the wrong area. I am very new to this forum and the equipment. I have been reading a lot, learning a lot and there are many experts in here. I have a newbie question. I just came back from my over seas tour (Air Force) and couldn't get to guitar center fast enough to get my Helix. WOW!! This will make life so much easier on my deployments as I try to pass time. My question is I am trying to configure the following: MacBook Pro (USB-C) to the Aux In (1/4") Guitar to the Guitar In I am listening via Headphone. This will be especially common on my deployments. My MacBook will be playing my favorite music via Spotify and I would love to play along and hear Spotify and myself via the headphone output. Will this work? Is it a simple configuration change so I can hear Spotify via Aux In and Guitar via Guitar In with output via Headphone? Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Please have a wonderful day.
