I have a Helix floor and would like some advice on how to configure my equipment. I have electric guitars, Variax JTV89F, electric acoustic, and standard acoustic guitars that I would like to record. I have 2 tube mics and some drv100 mics. When I record vocals they will be going through a Boss VE-20. I have a Focusrite 2i2 as an interface so I can use the monitor knob to control my PC volume for youtube, spotify etc. The monitors are JBL LSR308's. I have a Headrush FRFR108 that I haven't used much. I was always listening to my guitars through the JBL's but I probably should be playing them through the FRFR which would sound better and simplify my setup I think. For a DAW I am still trying to find what I like, right now they all seem way over my head with setup and recording flow. I did buy Helix native when it was on sale so I have that also.
What I want to accomplish is being able to swap mics easily when I record vocals or my acoustic guitars. My electric guitars will plug into the helix, unless going into the 2i2 and using Helix native would be better?? Can the Helix and 2i2 coexist in one DAW and would I ever want to do that? I am totally up for any suggestions.
