What is wrong with helix native on my pc?

[Spierdalaj30]

Hi all

There is an audio file uploaded which shows how my helix native sounds like, and in the link you can hear how it sounds on someone else's setup very similar to mine. 

https://on.soundcloud.com/ok9w4

I was looking for answer almost everywhere and here is what I found so far:

1) When I use his di sample helix sounds perfect

2) When he uses my di sample the sound is perfect- that's what is in the link.

3) Uploaded audio is how my di sample sounds on my computer.

4) There is absolutely no logic here.

 

Any help would be highly appreciated guys!

Well the first thing I'd need to know is...what the HECK is a di sample?

Hi,

 

As he is asking about a recording made with Helix Native, he must be referring to a Direct Injected (dry) audio signal, played back through a preset in HX Native.

 

It may be more useful to know what computer, OS, and DAW are being used for this, even though he said his friend has a similar set-up (not identical).

Hi,

 

I can’t make any comments about your audio examples as I’m using my iPad right now.
 

Actually, beside the audio snippets, it would be a big help to know what your computer, operating system, DAW and monitor system are.

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.

Assuming you are loading the same preset into each machine... here are some culprits to check that could differ from machine to machine.

1. Make sure your interface is set to a MINIMUM of 16bit /44.1K. 
2. Make sure the DAW/Host is not manipulating the track in any way. For a proper comparison there shouldn't be any added sends or insert effects on either DAW - including bus or master effects.  
3. Double/Triple check the input level at Helix Native. Don't just rely on a hard number (eg: -18) as a value... check those meters in case the DAW is manipulating gain differently. 
4.  Make sure there isn't a different IR loaded in the IR slot being used. (providing you are using an IR)
5. Are you using the same version of Native?

To me it sounds a lot as if you were hitting HX Native pretty hard. Just try again with lower input settings.

Hi,

 

Having had the chance to run both of these audio clips through my monitors, I think I agree with the comment from @SaschaFranck in the post above. My guess is you are driving the input of HX Native a bit to hot. Keep in the green on the meters.
