Showcase, how to add tracks to an existing song?

I have several songs with a backing track, click track and queue track I created, and I need to replace the backing track with one that doesn't have a count in click in the track (don't want to count in sent to P.A. mains). So far I can't figure out a way to add another track to an existing song. Creating a new song will be a huge hassle as I have many flags for patch changes and midi commands that I would have to do all over again (hours of work). Is there any way to add a file to an existing song in Showcase?

maxnew40,

 

If the click track is independent of the other tracks just use the matrix feature to set the click track to zero volume in the XLR output and/or 1/4 output.  You can leave it up in the headphones if you're using those for the IEMs.

I'm looking to do the same, but in my case I want to use a new version of the same backing track, having adjusted the levels in my DAW, as the keyboards were clipping at times.

The manual says '*Note: You’ll want to be sure that all your desired audio files are added for your song before doing the Transfer. Audio tracks cannot be added to a song that already exists in Helix Stadium.

Yet interestingly a Google search tells me that it is possible now; I searched for 'add new track to song in showcase in helix stadium' and the AI response was;

To add a new track to an existing song in the Helix Stadium Showcase feature, you must use the companion app Line 6 Helix Stadium app on your computer, as you cannot edit the track structure directly on the hardware unit. 
 
Follow these steps to add a new audio stem:
  1. Connect the Devices: Power on your Helix Stadium, ensure your microSD card is inserted, and connect your unit to your computer via Wi-Fi or USB. 
     
  2. Open the App: Launch the Helix Stadium app and click the musical note icon at the top to open the Song View. 
     
  3. Select Your Song: Find and double-tap the song in your library to load it into the editor. 
     
  4. Add the Track: Drag and drop your new audio file (must be a .WAV file) directly into the track list, or use the Browse button to locate it. You can have up to 8 tracks per song. 
     
  5. Reorder & Rename: Drag the track into your preferred position using the drag icon, and rename it accordingly. 
     
  6. Transfer: Click Transfer to upload the updated song structure back to your Helix Stadium. 

    But this is not yet possible, is that correct?

Sounds like it could work, but sadly doesn't - you get as far as step 2; if you click on the musical note icon to try to open Song view, all that does is open the window to drag and drop files to create a new song. So step 3 doesn't even exist, ie there's no way to double tap on a song and load it in to an editor of any kind

Thanks for reporting back. Overall I’ve found AI to be helpful but it’s given me lots of inaccurate info too.

It does sound like a feasible way to do things - maybe that's the way L6 can implement this feature in the future! I am of an age though where I never trust what I read on the internet, and yet even with my inherent wariness, I find myself more and more reading the AI response to a Google search, where before I would always skip past it.

Thing is, at least WE know that it's very possibly inaccurate, right?! The majority of people out there probably never stop to think about whether what they're reading is true or not - Confirmation Bias is everywhere these days! (in fact it's the very basis for the algorithms used by companies like YouTube and Amazon etc)
