PaulTBaker Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Has anyone ever tried to put the looper in a different out? I would like to be able to record the looper in a separate track and still play on top of it in another track. I'm using the Helix light with xr18 into reaper. Just curious if anyone else has tried this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundog Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Haven't tried it, but should be fine to use either Send or 1/4" LT out into your looper, then the looper into your XR18. You can route the looper within Helix so it is post or pre Helix effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulTBaker Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 got it to work.. it's really cool... (for me anyway :)) so I have a path 2 and now path 2A. 2A only has the looper on it and it's out is to the 1/4 inch. The looper is at the end of the chain. Path 2 out is to the XLR's. I have the xlr's and 1/4 inches on different inputs on the XR18. When creating the loop, I have the mix between path 2 and 2a set in the middle. When playing the loop and playing on top of it (and recording all this in separate tracks in Reaper) I have the mix between path 2 and 2a set to bypass the looper. This way, none of my guitar playing gets through on the looper 1/4 outs as well as the looper doesn't get in the xlr outs. I thought that was cool :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkelley Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 So clever! I'll have to play with things like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
