calelitecoach Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Here is my setup and situation. Active bass - Helix LT - PC. Helix is connecto to PC via USB and I monitor from the headphone out of the Helix. When streaming audio from scorces like Youtube, Spotify, and the Moises app the music seems to be effected by the patch selected. Is there a way to allow the music to stream without being effected by the patch I choose? Does this make sence? CEC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CEC Hi, Playback from your computer on USB 1/2 should not be processed by any effects in the patch. Check the setting on your PC. From the Helix LT 3.0 Owners Manual - Global Settings > Ins/Outs - page 65 USB In 1/2 Destination “If you like to jam along with iTunes, YouTubeTM, or your DAW, this setting determines from which of the Helix outputs your computer or iPad or iPhone mobile device’s primary stereo audio stream will be heard. USB In 1/2 bypasses all Helix processing; USB 3/4, 5/6, and 7/8 can be selected as input blocks for processing DAW tracks or re-amping. Normally, you should choose “Multi,” which sends USB In 1/2 directly to the 1/4", XLR, and Digital outputs.” https://line6.com/data/6/0a020a3f18374611d5dffd3a45/application/pdf/Helix LT 3.0 Owner's Manual - Rev D - English .pdf Hope this helps/ makes sense. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Music streaming from a Windows PC with Helix selected as Playback Device in the Sound Panel enters Helix over USB 1/2 at the Output, bypassing the entire signal chain. To prove this, just place a radical effect in the signal chain and stream music w/o playing over it. The only way that streaming music can be affected by the signal chain is if you connect a streaming device to a physical input or specifically route it over USB to a Helix Input Block with FX in its Path using a DAW with Helix set as the DAW's ASIO Device. IOW - by design, it's not something that can happen accidentally or through a wrong Global setting. EDIT - seems @datacommandobeat me to it, but there ya go, confirmation from the silly manual. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiganderton Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Also make sure that the volume for USB 1/2 is turned up. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
