gsummers Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Previously I had been using an eleven rack into pro tools 11. Monitoring my input was painless and I was able to adjust the volume in the pro tools mix window and use the 11r editor to adjust the output volume to adjust the input level if that makes sense. The fader in the pro tools mix window did not affect the actual input level, only the volume. This was nice. When I switched to helix everything is monitored through the helix. Now when adjusting the fader, volume isn't affected since I'm monitoring through the helix. I'm confused. It would be great to have the same setup I had with the 11r or some alternative, which is why I brought the Scarlett into the mix. Any suggestions so I am able to easily adjust the volume of things I am monitoring? I don't even hear a change Even when I mute the track after record enable.

SymphonicDischord Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 If I am following you correctly, essentially you wish to be able to adjust the Helix's monitoring level without affecting the input level of your DAW correct? If that is the case this can be handled with Scarlett MixControl software. With this software you can individually adjust the monitoring levels of your recording inputs as well as any DAW tracks without changing any levels within Pro Tools. Essentially it turns your Scarlett into a virtual mix console as well as all as your input/output device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsummers Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 Cool...thanks! I've tinkered a little with the mix control when I had the eleven rack hooked via s/pdif to the Scarlett. Got confusing but I will have to try it again with the helix. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SymphonicDischord Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Yeah unfortunately it's not the easiest piece of software initially but once you get your head wrapped around it, you'll realize that it quite powerful for routing audio and creating custom mixes. I would suggest watching some YouTube tutorials, that really helped me understand how to set up the routing properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
