baldgeezer Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 OK folks - struggling here to get this to work! I am using Helix Native in Ableton. My guitar is connected through a Focusrite Scarlet using Input 2 configured as INST. When I fire up Live and open Native and set the monitor to "In" I hear a nice stereo affected sound as per my affects in Native. But when I then select to record it drops to mono - what am I doing wrong? I should also say that what I hear as the recording is the unprocessed input from the Scarlet, not the output from Helix Native plugin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PierM Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 When you record with a VST, your track will always be "DRY". VST are being applied in real time, 'til you decide to export your mix to a audio file. Isn't like you are recording from the outputs of a Helix. This also should answer your first question; All tracks in Ableton are Stereo, but you are recording a signal coming from Scarlett Input 2, which is just one channel of the two, and that's being recorded by Ableton as is, centered. The Stereo effects will be there in the mix, as soon as you add them in Native, or other VST, or Ableton FXs. DAW is non linear, non destructive, until you render. ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
