asdfasdfasdf123 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Hi, I'm trying to use my hx stomp for audio during zoom lessons and failing miserably. I would like to use my computer's mic (well the mic on my headphones) for my voice, and have the guitar go through the helix. I setup an aggregate device on os x, using the system audio, system mic, and hx stomp. In system preferences -> sound, if i set the new aggregate device to the input, I can see in the preview that both the HX and mic are sending strong signals. so far so good. however, once i set zoom to the aggregate device, only the mic is heard. I downloaded a program called audio monitor, and that also does not get sound from the hx, only the mic, when the aggregate device is used. Same in ableton lite: use the aggregate device, but only sound from the mic is heard. Am i misunderstanding how aggregate devices work? Can the system input not be combined with a USB input like this? I'd prefer not to have to buy a microphone, but that might be unavoidable. I tried running the stomp into a scarlett and then made the aggregate device use the scarlett with the computer mic, but that also does not combine the two input sources correctly. cheers!

SaschaFranck Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Won't be able to exactly help you here, but does your DAW of choice (if you have one) support the mic in of the aggregate device? In that case, you could possibly work around that. And fwiw, the line in of your computer doesn't work, either? Because that's something I could possibly check as well (my Mac Pro doesn't have an onboard mic). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdfasdfasdf123 Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 the closest i have to a DAW is ableton live lite and it behaves similarly: i can only get the mic audio from the aggregate device, not the mic and hx stomp. i'm not sure i follow you on the `line in` on the computer not working -- do you mean the audio input of the computer? that works fine by itself, just not combined with the hx in an aggregate device. but thanks!

If you have set up the Aggregate Device and configured it to use your built in Microphone and HX Stomp, have you also set the Aggregate Device as the Sound output of your Mac. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202000 Hope the helps/makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdfasdfasdf123 Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 thanks! yes, after trying that i can hear the audio from the mic in the output, but not the guitar from the hx. hmmm. curiously, i can record a video with quicktime and that captures audio from both sources, but when i try to use the aggregate devices with zoom or ableton, i only get the mic audio.

asdfasdfasdf123 Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 thanks, but no luck there either. i guess i'll have to buy a mic so i can run the mic and stomp through scarlett and into the computer from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zonzamas Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I used to have my mic and hx stomp in an aggregated device that worked like a charm with skype but after the latest upgrade of catalina os&stomp usb driver it no longer works to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
