dflateau Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hey all, I'm processing two different inputs into Helix on different signal paths, and I output them to USB 1 and 2 discreetly for recording. Through headphones on the Helix, using a Multi Output block, of course, I hear each signal path in a different ear. Is there an easy way to set up a block/path so the headphones monitor the signals mixed together (both signal paths present in each ear; in other words, both signal paths panned to center in the headphones)? Thanks in advance! Davin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brue58ski Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Check the pan on the output blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dflateau Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Yes - one path is panned left to send it to USB 1. The other is panned right to send it to USB 2. So when you listen to it in headphones, you have one path in each ear. That's what I'm trying to fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunpointmetal Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Stereo to mono adapter for your headphones is about all you can do if you need the two channel separate for recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dflateau Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 This would be a useful setting for a future update! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyInNashua Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 If you are only using a single path for each input, make sure one input is on path 1A and the other on 2A. Change both of the outs for these to USB 1/2 and hard pan them left and right in the output block. Add a Volume or Pan block to the end of each path and drag it down into path B. Move the split to the very end of the path and drag the merge down to create new outs. Set both of these outs to XLR. Change the global setting for Headphones Monitor to XLR. This setting is on pg 3 of the global Ins/Outs settings. You now have a few places that you can pan your headphones. The split blocks and the output blocks both have pan settings and if you used Pan blocks to create the new paths you can use those. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dflateau Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 This is it! Thank you so much! I'm new to Helix, and was not aware there could be separate outputs and how you create them from separate paths. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
