davewilmore Posted July 18, 2024 Share Posted July 18, 2024 Hello forum.. I would aprreciate any suggestions please. I had a 'Helix Essentials' Zoom meeting/.course (intro to helix) booked for yesterday - didnt happen and wasnt sent a link or contacted. How do I get it re-organised or speak to a support agent about it as the support links do not seem to include that option. I live in the uk. Thanks in advance, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, Dave Unfortunately I don't have a solution to offer for this specific issue, and for all I know this course might be the best thing since indoor plumbing...but my in my experience these sort of "quick start" classes are largely a waste of your time. I've done similar things in the past, and mostly it tends to be a lot of "If you want "X", click here", kinda stuff. Plenty of "how", but not much "why". In other words, they tend to assume a certain degree of baseline knowledge (in this case, the use of modelers in general) that you may not have if you're new to it. Fortunately there are numerous youtube Helix tutorials that are quite good (Jason Sadites' channel in particular, is excellent). You can go figure things out at your own pace, and not have to worry about your "mentor" getting lost on the way to his laptop, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davewilmore Posted July 19, 2024 Author Share Posted July 19, 2024 Thanks Cruisinon2 for the reply, sort of confirmed where my thinking was leading to. I'm ok with setting up patches and routing etc but my helix is such a shambolic collection of patches that I was hoping for some inside tricks or a methodology. I Looked at Jason Satides channel so thankyou for that, this is the sort of approach thats going to be very helpful. I just wonder if the Helix essential expert got paid for an event he never deilvered., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about the factory patches, save yourself the aggravation and just pretend they're not even there, lol... they're useless, for a variety of reasons. Modelers can be a little weird, and there's generally a learning curve. Best part is, there really are no rules... if whatever you've constructed sounds good, then it's a win. Doesn't really matter how you got there, and what works for me might sound like nails on a chalkboard for you. Experimentation is really the only way to get a handle on it... but once you've done it enough times, you'll develop your own "preferred method" for creating tones.
