themetallikid Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 So last night I was running through my STP presets in preparation for practice tomorrow. I got through 19/24 songs....when I got to my preset for Fall To Pieces. Now... Everything sounded great, didn't have to adjust anything, mix of audio to Helix sounds was spot on for me. All good. On the Fall To Pieces preset, the audio coming from the laptop was staticy/crackly. Not the first time I've encountered it on this preset. The only preset this happens to. I can change presets, and the audio is fine. I can play my guitar through the preset and it sounds fine. Few things to note, 1. This preset was created from scratch along with the rest of my STP presets 2. The preset is using favorites for all blocks, minus a few setting tweaks for the song, that are used in the rest of my STP presets that had no issue. 3. I simple restart of the helix, changing presets or anything else doesn't resolve this. It has worked in the past, but not sure what is causing it. Any ideas what could be causing this? It looks like my input/output settings aren't any different than other presets. I will post the presets if no one else has any ideas of what to check off the top of their heads.

rd2rk Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 It could be that you have a household gremlin that doesn't like that song. ;-) OR You could attach the preset so we can have a listen and try to track down the problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DunedinDragon Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 It sounds like you're playing along to an audio recording of the STP song, right? If so, what is the source of the audio recording and are you playing it from the laptop through just standard playback features or through a DAW or what?

I'm playing the songs through Spotify on my laptop via USB to the Helix > Headphones out. I'll attach presets below, good and the gremlin one. However, what puzzles me is: 1) I have 24 songs in the preset list, I played through our set, this song is song #20 in the list and all the rest were fine. 2) This song plays fine on any of my other presets, clear as the other 23 songs in the list. Whether I skip around or play in order does not matter. I can remain on the Fall To Pieces song and choose other MP3's and its fine, I can stay on Fall To Pieces song and change presets and it plays fine. 3) The preset plays/sounds fine, just like the others in my setlist, when Spotify isnt playing. 4) Turning off Helix did not remedy the situation after it was rebooted. Those 3 things have my trouble shooting mind at wits end. The song is fine on its own, the preset is fine on its own, testing them with other songs/presets are fine, but together this song and preset crackly like a bad electrical wire though nothing has changed from the previous 19 songs.
