Helix Floor, HX Edit, and iMAC

[tbdhlb-2003]

Good day all,

 

I am new to this so forgive me if what I am asking should be obvious.  
 

I just received my Helix Floor, updates the firmware, and installed HX Edit.  I have the newest Mac OS installed on my iMac.  
 

I have no issues hooking up the USB and editing the settings with the app.  What I am trying to do is edit and hear the changes right away in my Mac so I can tell if I like the sound.  I can’t seem to get the Mac to output the sound though while I’m HX edit.  I can hear the guitar when I have GarageBand open, but it isn’t playing the effects I have set on the helix.  
 

is it possible to get my Mac to play the sound with only the helix, usb, and guitar?  Or do I need to use headphones plugged directly into the helix or some sort of monitor?

 

if it’s possible to use what I currently have, can someone explain in detail the steps I need to take to accomplish this?

 

thank you for your patience and I look forward to hearing from you.  
 

Tom

You kind of answered your own question. Yes, you need to have your headphones or monitors plugged directly into the Helix to hear it.
