JakubJamesBoote Posted January 13, 2024 Share Posted January 13, 2024 Hey guys, This is my first time using my Helix Floor as a DAW and when I attempt to record DI and effected tones my DI volume is almost non-existent as you can see. The super faint blue line is the input on track 2. Track 1 is my effected tone and Track 2 is my DI. As you can see the input for track 2 is input 7 which I know is the DI signal. I have all channel outputs to stereo out but have tried using every other output. I've tried everything I think.... I've tried boosting output volume in the global setting, I've tried adding a clean boost in my chain (not DI anyway), I've tried adjust the track volume in Logic but nothing is working for me. Any advice? As an FYI the volume knob on my HELIX unit does not work and I am speaking to the support team about this currently but I don't believe this should affect the track input volume anyway. I may be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted January 14, 2024 Share Posted January 14, 2024 That is proper and correct. The DI signal is low to allow headroom for re-amping/post processing. These articles explain proper recording levels. https://decibelpeak.com/recording-levels-digital-recording/ https://recordingmag.com/resources/recording-info/mics-miking/capturing-the-cab/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
