I put 2 songs in my music website: "So Alive He Is" (is on top), and "Night of the Revelation" is the next song down. One song uses all Roland COSM amp models, and the other song uses all PodXT amp models. Can you tell which is which? Please tell me how you like the songs and how they can be improved.

soundog and datacommando, Thank you for replying. I know at some point I will update my Mac OSX, though I'm putting it off for as long as possible. I'm afraid I will blow my one chance at using the Helix Native demo if I try it with my Mac OSX 10.9.5 that I have now. Yes, that is part of the reason I came up with my screen name/band name: the alphabetical thing.

Since Helix Native is on sale, I'm a bit tempted. I've tried the Helix hardware unit: my mind was not blown, but it sounds pretty good. Here are my potential problems: according to Line 6, I need Mac OSX 10.10 to 10.12. I currently have Mac OSX 10.9.5, and don't really want to upgrade that unless I really have to; though I'm assuming I would need to. Line 6 says Helix Native works with Cubase 8.5. I only have Cubase AI 8.0.40, at best, it is the latest. I have not tried the demo Helix Native yet because I doubt it would work with my Mac OSX 10.9.5. I'm not going to buy Helix Native without verifying it would work with my computer set up. Can anyone verify Helix Native works, or doesn't work with Cubase AI 8.0.40?

OK, here are the answers: U530 amp model is used for all rhythm guitars, and PodXT amp model is used for the lead guitar.

OK, here are the answers: U530 amp model is used for all rhythm guitars, and PodXT amp model is used for the lead guitar.

I put a new song in my music website called "Fortify Your Faith". One brand of amp model is used during all of the rhythm guitar. The other brand (either Mercuriall U530 or PodXT) is used for all of the lead guitar. Can you tell which is which? Please tell me how you like this song and how it can be improved. The song is at the top of this link: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=224436

OK, here are the answers: "Watch Out For Us" uses AdrenaLinn for amp models and effects, and "I Need You (too)" uses PodXT for amp models and effects.

I put 2 songs in my music website: "Now It Rings True" is the song on top, and "For You Know What to Do" (mostly guitar-oriented) is the next song down. "Now It Rings True" is mostly synths, with brief low-volume rhythm guitar during the lead synth, and towards the end of the song it has very audible lead guitar. One song has all Roland COSM amp models on guitar, and the other song is all PodXT amp models on guitar. Can you tell which is which? Please tell me how you like the music and how it can be improved.

You get a second place trophy! Or the Silver Medal. The choice is yours. ;)

OK, here are the answers: the first guitar part is PodXT, and the second guitar part (includes lead guitar) is the U530.

Triryche, Thank you for listening and commenting, I appreciate it! Actually, the first guitar part is PodXT, and the second guitar part (includes lead guitar) is the U530.

I put a new song in my music website called "He Won't Lead You Astray". The song is mostly synths, though there is rhythm guitar during the chorus (first starts at 0:50); that is one brand of amp model. Then the are two guitars that start later on: one lower pitch guitar starts playing at 1:12 and a higher pitch lead guitar starts at 1:20, those are the other brand of amp model. The one brand is Mercuriall U530 Free, and the other is Line 6 PodXT. Can you tell which is which? Please tell me how you like the song and how it can be improved.
