olivierJez Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Hiya, I have a weird problem that happens since i updated logic... or my system... I am using the helix as output with headphone (got family sleeping) Everything is fine until i launch Logic, then the helix sound is turned off. Not the playback, just the live guitar, the output from logic works, and guitar is back on monitoring when i hit record. I tried the input monitor but it makes no difference, the live guitar output is gone, even if i turn of Logic. The only way to get it back is to reboot the helix. I didn't have that problem before, and i don't know if the problem came with a logic update or system upgrade (el captain), or something else. I didn't made changes in the helix at that time for sure. The problem is there did it with v2.1 i have updated to v2.3 same. And is more likely to be a logic related answer. I think, somehow, logic is sending an order to the helix to "shut up". Any ideas how to bring back the guitar live monitoring ? cheers Olivier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirtualGuitars Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Have you tried uninstalling the Helix Native a plug-in and reinstalling? What version of macOS and Logic Pro are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivierJez Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 Hiya, It is not the Helix Native i am using, sorry if it wasn't clear. It is the helix floor pedal board. I use headphones plugged to the helix pedal board to get the guitar and the sound from the computer (plugged via usb) All used to be fine, and still is until i turn on Logic pro (latest version or near, i suppose. OSx el captain). Once logic is on, no more direct guitar sound from the helix, but logic playback is passing through fine. While recording i get everything fine, guitar and tracks. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olivierJez Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 Ok, i tried few things. The problem in fact comes when i open or close logic audio. On all the presets. Funnily enough if i just recall the preset on the stomp, or any other preset, i get the sound back. As i use 1 preset for most what i record these days, i didn't realise that quicker. So this is a quick and easy work around it, but it still bugs me that it wasn't happening before. Something happen when logic open or close, maybe related to core audio or a midi signal.... I tried without headphone using my computer speakers but there is no sound coming out in any case i tried. (yes i have selected helix as input and my line out as output) It used to work. I can see the sound passing when i play, the input meter react to what i play, and if i open logic and record it will be recorded on the track. It is more pointing to the computer or core audio being the trouble... I couldn't find any option in sound pref that would make it work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterHamm Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Is logic sending a controller to turn sound down by accident I wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
