scallybert Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I'm a Helix LT & Reaper user for playing/recording/re-amping/etc. I've taken advantage of the discount, to purchase Helix Native, so I can tinker with tones, etc, etc away from the Helix LT. [I'm confident this will go fine, but I have a little way to go yet...] Meanwhile, it's occurred to me, that if I could plug a guitar into a Reaper + Helix Native laptop, I'd have something extremely portable - if I needed it. On this basis, what would I need to plug the guitar into the laptop ? [I'm almost wondering whether an in-built mic port might be good enough, given apparent advances in PC audio.] Given 'extreme portability' is an ideal, small is good.

silverhead Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I would not recommend using the mic input on your laptop. I think you should use/purchase a small audio interface device. Many manufacturers produce these. Line 6's offerings are in the Mobile and Computer sections under the Products tab at the top of this page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewolf48 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I have Helix Floor as my main interface and a Scarlett Solo if I am traveling light (work) with a Traveller Guitar, Reaper, Native and some headphones. It isn’t perfect, but it is a lot better than being in a hotel for 3 weeks with nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
