Jakeallen Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 When connected to to my iMac via USB and set sound output to Helix to hear iTunes songs out through my Helix headphones, the inputs (guitar and Mic) are off. In other words I only hear the iTunes when I want to be able to play along to the songs and hear both in my headphones. Is this normal/expected? Or can anyone offer me way to achieve playing along and hearing both through my headphones? Thank in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jake, I'm such a waste of space - I spend all day noodling around to backing track in iTunes. No problem for me. Anyhow, I'm not sitting in the studio at the moment so this is just from what I can remember offhand. Helix connects to Mac via USB, select Helix as the Audio-In/Out device. Connect guitar to Helix input jack socket, headphone to Helix dedicated socket (careful with that volume control, dude). Or, alternatively, some PA or powered monitor system. Select backing track in iTunes - press play and jam away. Uh oh! What? No guitar signal! Check Helix inputs/ouputs are set to Multi - also check Global Setting for USB 1/2 destination is set to Multi and the audio signal is not getting re-routed down a wormhole in space. O.K. Now try again! Let's know if it works or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
