andre_ginho Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Hi Guys. Sorry if this was already discussed before. I'm pretty sure it was, but to be honest I don't even know how to search for this as I don't know the technical terms of it. So, I've seen some tutorials about HX tone setting where there's a bass line (or guitar) played by the DAW (in my case it would be Reaper) and the HX uses it as an input, exactly as if there's an instrument really being played. My idea is to record a bass line, play it in the DAW an than make the ajustments on HX. How can I do it? How should I configure both DAW and HX to work this way? I don't know if I was clear. I hope so. Thank you so much in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waymda Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Hi I'm a Helix not Stomp user, but the term is re-amping and in principle involves: recording a dry input into the DAW - you can use USB from the Stomp to do this having the DAW route the dry signal back to the Stomp for processing and then re-recording as a processed track Rather than provide a detailed explanation that might miss bits I suggest you have a look at the Stomp manual here and read through the USB audio section from page 55 as a starting point https://line6.com/support/manuals/hxstomp/ You will also need to know how to configure inputs and outputs in Reaper (again not a Reaper user) - but I think the Stomp manual will help you get the concepts and might make understanding the Reaper part a bit easier. Welcome to learning a whole new language and way of doing things. I'm sure the forum can help with specific questions as you work your way through. The resources here will also help https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=re-amping+reaper Edited to add that you can record a processed track whilst recording an unprocessed one when doing takes - sometimes you will just use the processed track but give flexibility whilst recording the sound you're working with at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The technique is mentioned in the Owner’s Manual on pages 62-63. Here’s a link to a video showing how this is done using a HX Stomp and Ableton Live. Plus - this one by Jason Sadites using Reaper - the methods are basically the same for any HX hardware or DAW. Hope this helps/makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No DAW or complexity. Just add the Looper block to the front of your signal chain and record your bass line (time limited, which is really the only drawback). Then put your guitar down, play back the loop, and start tweaking your tone. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaschaFranck Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Are you using the Stomp as your audio interface already? That's *the* important regarding anything else in terms of re-amping, but your post doesn't say anything about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andre_ginho Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 My stomp is connected to the computer using the USB port. I can record what I'm playing in Reaper. I have the headphones connected in the proper output in the stomp. The idea is to play the track in the DAW and tweak the tone in the stomp. Is it possible? What and how should I configure the ins and outs on the stomp and on the DAW (Reaper)? Do I need to configure anything in the PC apart from the DAW?
