HX Stomp as audio interface for Neural Amp Modeler standalone software

Hello,

 

I´m trying to have my HX Stomp used as interface for Neural Amp Modeler Standalone software (https://www.neuralampmodeler.com/) but the output is both my clean signal into the Stomp and the processed signal from NAM. Chain is Guitar to Stomp connected to my laptop by USB as audio interface, and Stomp Output L to the Amp+Cab. When I play I get both the clean sound from the bass into the Stomp plus the processed signal from the NAM, and I´d like to avoid having the clean sound, only processed signal.

Tried also to use NAM as VST plugin instead of standalone but my Studio One 6 doesn´t seem to show it (plugin appears as found in the loading screen but then I cannot find it in effects at Studio One).

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Split the main path using a GAIN Block and an A/B Split.

Pull down the GAIN Block to create the split.

PAN the A/B Split point 100% Path B. This blocks the output signal from the MAIN Out.

Pull down the MIX point to complete the split.

In your NAM Modeler SW/DAW use USB 3/4 as INPUT and USB 1/2 as OUTPUT.

 

Example preset attached.

 

EDIT: Thought I'd give NAM a try, since it seems to be the current "talk of the town". Standalone it wouldn't work with HXS using Input 3/4, though it worked with Input 1/2. As a plugin in Reaper using Input 3/4 it worked, so obviously a bug in the standalone version. I only tried one NAM capture so far, a MB IIC+, but comparing it to ToneX, HX Native and THU (with Rig Player LRS MB capture) I'm thinking "What's the big deal???" It's also kind of a memory hog for just a capture player and it glitches at the same settings I use for the others (48/64). I'll play around with it some more when I have time, but so far NOT impressed.

I have Studio 5 Artist, which I haven't used in years. I reinstalled it and once I configured my HXS I created a track, assigned Inputs 3/4 and disabled 1/2.

The installation automatically found the NAM plugin and it works fine.

Thanks for the quick and complete answer, got a couple of questions anyway:

-Regarding the Stomp, the file you attached appears as unavailable, I´ve followed your steps to create the preset but don´t know what you mean in step "Pull down the MIX point to complete the split". (Below how my patch looks):

 

-Then in Studio One how do you select USB 3/4 as INPUT and USB 1/2 as OUTPUT? If I create a new Audio mono track I only see inputs from 1 to 7 (no USB). Edit: I found some info about that on Manual page 55, will try to figure it out but any help is appreciated

 

Thanks again!

Thanks again!

IDK what happened with the file upload, but I've reattached it and it SHOULD work now.

 

See the highlighted dot where Path B merges back into Path A? That's the MIX block.

 

All of the Inputs are USB. Sorry if that was confusing.

 

Open the drop-down of the track's Input box. Select "Audio I/O Setup". Select the Inputs you want for the track.

 

USB 1/2 is the default Master Outputs for all tracks. You can specify others, but that's not relevant here as USB 1/2 enters the HXS at the HXS MAIN Output, bypassing processing.

Or use USB 5 [ HX Stomp’s dry Main L/MONO] as input and USB 1/2 [HX Stomp’s Main Outs] as output of the NAM plugin with an empty HX patch where you turn down the Level of the Output block completely.

 

While that works, USB 5/6 is DRY whereas my method allows for use of HXS FX in the PRE NAM position.

I won´t be able to test it until next week but I´ll try as soon as I can and let you know the outcome.

rd2rk, regarding the Mixer block, what I mean is that I don´t understand what "Pull down the MIX point to complete the split" means, but anyway it seems now I could download your attached file so that should work.

Thanks again both, you´re being very helpful!

In the editor, click and hold the block and drag it down, same as with the GAIN block that you moved to create the initial split.

That causes the path to split into two output blocks - 1/2 and 3/4 - as in the example preset.

 

On the HXS itself you accomplish the same thing using the ACTION button and selecting "Path B" using the first knob.

 

This might be a good time to have a look at the manual...

Hi guys, I was on a trip so I couldn´t try it before but I arrived today and had it working with your help. Neither impressed with the sounds, I´ll need to dig deeper on the profiles, thanks again!
