menendez1 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 www.justinmenendez.com 1st track See Beauty I recorded this and am trying to figure out how to do it live in a solo capacity. I want to use my MacBook and run either MainStage or Ableton to keep the various drum loops in the song. Then I want to be able to use a helix foot switch to control the loops- change loops, cycle, etc. I'm thinking that vocal effects could be run in the helix by creating a vocal path and the mic direct into the helix. I would also like to continue to utilize the helix guitar looper. Ideally, the helix can be 1 button programmed to a 'snapshot' that controls the guitar sound, vocal effect, and drum loop(which is coming from the Mac). Is this possible? I also really need this to be flexible in the sense that I want to be able to improvise not just play a backing track. When I play live I sing and play guitar. The beats are made in logic. thoughts?

plumber Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Ableton will learn midi switching from your board - I would guess with midi channels and messages you should have more than enough to get you there. Vocals can go into ableton via helix so hard to imagine there anything you cant do with that. Same with the guitar signal State Shirt on you tube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXb7KeK_ezEYYOHxi1iwY4A - has a lot of good info on this https://www.youtube.com/user/Evertzeevalkink/videos?disable_polymer=1 - Also here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
