Need help to tune mic for voice + guitar

[Zwoo79]

Hi everyone !

I'm french so please excuse my poor english.

I just acquired a Helix Floor, what a monster of sounds !!!!

I want to use it first for guitar, but it could be cool to use it for voice + guitar too.

I found how to create 2 different lines (one for guitar with jack and one for mic with xlr), but the mic sound volume is really really low. If I adjust with "mic in gain" it saturates too easily. So I try to find the good balance between in gain / preamp / amp / cab, but it seems to be difficult to keep a clean sound.

If someone has some help to share please !

Thanks a lot !

You mention an amp and cab in the preset. I do not use any guitar amp or cab. Try using just the studio preamp, compressor, EQ, and a bit of reverb, chorus and/or delay. For best results send the output to FRFR speakers/monitors, not a physical guitar amp/cab.

Hi Z,

Load this into your Helix and using HX Edit modify the settings to suit what you want to achieve.

 

Salut Z,

Chargez-le dans votre Helix et, à l'aide de HX Edit, modifiez les paramètres en fonction de ce que vous souhaitez obtenir.

Hope this helps/makes sense
