ColonelForbin Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Quick question: When used as a soundcard, will Helix be able to send audio from the computer via the USB port to the Line6 Link output? Correct me if I am wrong, but HD500x cannot do this. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelForbin Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 My current Pro Tools-HD500x / home recording work around at the moment is, stereo 1/4" to the pair of M-Audio monitors, both XLR outs to the XLR inputs on an L2t, "dual mono" mode, and a pair of 1/4" from the keyboard / drum machine to the FX loop return on the HD500x I attempted using a 1/4" to RCA stereo cable from the HD500x to the L2t RCA inputs, but I was hearing weird / nasty noises, some kind of power related thing, dunno.

Digital_Igloo Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I believe Helix does this automatically, but playback volume is controlled through ProTools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelForbin Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 I believe Helix does this automatically, but playback volume is controlled through ProTools. Interesting! That sounds definitely hopeful. I know the M20d sort of does this, but with horrible latency. I just never actually noticed that the HD500x cannot do it. tHANKS!

Digital_Igloo Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 On second thought, maybe not. I'm back in the office tomorrow and will confirm or deny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggreydog Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I am using a mac and connected to the Helix and play iTunes. No music from what I can tell. Any other ideas? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to go into the sound settings for my computer and choose Helix as my playback device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
