Helix Native Plugin Latency Issues in DAW

Hello

 

I have been experiencing noticeable latency when using Helix Native as a plugin inside my DAW (Logic Pro / Ableton / Cubase / etc.). The delay between playing a note & hearing the processed sound makes real-time recording difficult.

 

I’ve tried adjusting my buffer size; increasing CPU priority for my DAW, and even switching between different audio drivers, but the issue persists.

Interestingly; the latency seems to increase over time, especially when multiple instances of Helix Native are running. Restarting the session temporarily helps, but it’s not a long-term fix.

 

I’ve also noticed that disabling certain effects reduces the delay, which makes me wonder if some specific settings are causing excessive processing load. Checked https://line6.com/data/6/0a020a410ad46078912adaa0e/application/pdf/Helix Native Pilot's Guide - English .pdfServicenow Training guide related to this and found it quite informative.

 

Has anyone else faced this issue? Are there any recommended settings within Helix Native to optimize performance for real-time playing? Any guidance on best practices for reducing latency would be greatly appreciated!

 

 

 

Thank you!!

Without knowing details of your specific HW and OS, no one can even begin to address this beyond saying whether or not they have experienced the problem with THEIR specific HW and OS. 

 

I run Reaper and Ableton on a Win10 i7 (7th gen) laptop with 16gb and SSD using a Scarlett 18i20 (2nd gen) AI and at 64spls get 7.6ms RT glitch-free latency in small projects (typically 8 audio tracks). I have not experienced the problems you described.
