GarrySimmons Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I recently bought a Helix LT, so I knew what to expect sound-wise with Native. I've been using Overloud TH3 since it came out as my "go to" amp simulation plug-in for my DAW, but now that I have an LT, it makes sense to buy Native on the cheap and have options. Plus I can work on my live presets in the studio without having the LT there or hooked up. I find two things missing that TH3 provides: - A standalone mode where I can just play the damn thing. I tried loading Helix Native into Cantabile Lite but couldn't get my input signal into the plug-in. Maybe some other VST host would work easier. I just want to be able to jam along with a Spotify playlist or MP3 on my computer. - A guitar tuner. I can't believe Native doesn't provide a tuner. Or maybe I'm just clueless and it's in there somewhere and I haven't found it yet. Otherwise, really happy I picked it up on CyberWeek special as a registered LT owner.

Just tried demo of Cantabile Performer - could not get it to work - helix loaded but no sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsvette12 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 So why would you need a vst host not much different - I can hear youtube etc. in the background and jam along with Studio One on screen - works great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
