imran5000 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Hello! I've used Line 6 sims for years and after heading off to other shores I'm returning to fold to get the new Terminator you lot are offering. I'm going to get the Helix as soon as I can boot my Kemper, but was wondering if a) the mic preamp is any good for recording vocals for example and can the thing therefore can be used as a quality USB audio interface allowing me to also boot my Focusrite Scarlett. Would it also be possible for example to record two seperate FX blocks/ amps/ cabs simultaneously in my DAW via USB on different channels? Many thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil_m Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 The mic pre in the Helix is the same as the pres in the StageSource mixer. So, yes, it's very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamzOR Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 The mic pre in the Helix is the same as the pres in the StageSource mixer. So, yes, it's very nice. StageSource L3t speaker mic input, or StageScape mixer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArneLine6 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 The pre amps in Helix and in the StageScape mixer are TI Burr Brown digitally controlled analog mic pre amps. They are actually quite expensive and very high quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imran5000 Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Cheers for the responses, so I'll be able to track via USB with zero latency (i have an i7 with 16gb RAM) Can you also re-amp via USB Thanks again - my Kemper is on the market!

duncann Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 You'll have to take the output (1/4",xlr,spdif,etc.) from Helix for zero latency. The re-amping feature using USB is really awesome. Really easy to set up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
