Elephantstomp Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Hello, after a signal split (Y-split) path A became lower in output than it was before. How much lower exactly? How much do I have to increase the output of path A to get it as loud as it would be without the split? And will path A sound exactly the same then? I am going to use path B only in one of three snapshots of a preset and volume-wise just to taste. This preset is mono. Thanks! Edit: I found out it´s -3dB per path (at the merge position). What would be the best split for maintaining path A as it is and having Path B parallel? Would it be the A/B split? (Because it doesn´t mess with volumes. And I have "minus infinity" dB instead of -60dB (bleeding), what would be good to deactivate path B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigGT Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 I don't know about in the Helix but in real life a split would cost -3.5dB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elephantstomp Posted November 8, 2022 Author Share Posted November 8, 2022 Thanks for the interesting read. I just chose the Y-split and increased 3dB at the merge point at the end of the split. Same volume level now as my presets without split. I am still in honeymoon with HX Stomp since years...amazing! Best 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
