First things first...if you emailed them (usually the quickest solution), check your spam folder. If that doesn't work, try calling 800-222-4700 and explain that your sales engineer hasn't resolved the problem yet, so is there some way this can be escalated.

Thanks for all the time you spend for us. That will be better to have a global solution . It's very complicated for those like me, who don't speak english fluently.

In case anyone is wondering, the updated book download seems to be working fine now at Sweetwater. I used the email link provided with my initial purchase and it sent me to the new V1.1 version location.

 

BTW, The additional content is great.

 

Thanks Craig.

Great to see this update released so soon. Any there any new files or Preset examples included with the 1.1 release? 

 

Sorry I missed seeing this post. There are no new files or presets in the 1.1 version, but I expect there will be in 1.2 (although that won't happen for at least a few months).

• Analysis of the new Ventoux amp tone controls

• Expanded Cabinet Techniques chapter, with mic descriptions and analysis
• Expanded Audio Interfacing chapter, with more HX Stomp info
• Better browsing in PDF reader Navigation view (improved hierarchical expand/collapse)
• Additional page with Helix resources

Also saw a helpful article  https://freebooksummary.com/category/echo on a resource with free summary samples of books for students

I hope you find the info useful!

 Yes. Craig has said he intends to update it after every firmware update. That's one reason he has offered it as a download, so you can get the updated versions for free. It's pretty cool.

That is true. However, I'm expecting ther will be another eBook update before the next "official" Helix update (depending on how soon that happens). I want to include information about the Looper and also get more into the MIDI control aspects. Neither are covered in the current edition, which focuses on effects, applications, and amp parameters.

 

If you have any suggestions for what you'd like to see in future editions, please contact me at the dedicated email given in the book. Quite a bit of the material included in version 1.1 was based on reader feedback (like showing the frequency response curves for the various mics). One reader from France even gave me a tip on how to make topics easier to find in the PDF contents sidebar, which was a great suggestion. It really does make a difference when you want to find a topic fast. 

 

Of course I can't guarantee I'll implement all requests, but I can guarantee they will be read, and carefully considered. Thank you!
