metalkrapo Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 So I've plugged my SM58 to the XLR port of the Helix, selected Mic as an input, placed the Studio Tube Pre and set the output to multi, the microphone produces no sound. Is there something more I need to do? As additional information the Helix outputs are not connected, there is only a set of headphones connected, and I can hear the guitar which is on a separate path in the same preset.

metalkrapo Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 Ok, turns out, the volume was too low. I turned the output volume up all the way, and now I'm playing with volume and gain on the preamp. Does anyone have any recommendations for all these settings? For instance, am I supposed to turn the output level up that much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RestrungHype Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I'm actually wondering the same thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steevo1977 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 If you go to global settings > inputs you will see there is a mic input gain control (next to the phantom power setting - no need to enable that for your SM58 though). Yours may be very low. There shouldn't be a need to crank the output volume IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
