Trailing will allow the effects to roll over a little even after you’ve switched snapshots (or turned the effect off entirely.) They fizzle off naturally on their own and create a bit of a crossfade effect. NOTE: With all reverb and delay, it’s a great idea to use the “trail” settings. Throw the volume pedal’s gain settings up to about 4 decibels (give or take) for your lead boost.
Set the second snapshot with a gain increase, maybe a compressor, and a volume pedal gain boost of about 1 or 2 decibels.Just the right amount of light gain, whatever EQ settings, maybe a bit of reverb. Setup a snapshot of your rhythm sound.The same goes for one of my favorite boundless features: Just like playing live, you can pull this off with the Helix in the studio but with an incredible amount of control and nearly limitless options.Īll of the Helix’s parameters can be assigned to any footswitch, and without limits on how many assignments per button. Let’s say you want to run a single guitar track that plays a little rhythm with a light crunch, then jam out some lead fills here and there, then nailing a beastly solo, and finally coming back out of the solo to finish off with rhythm. The alternative involves using Helix’s incredibly powerful control assignment and snapshot features. With the Helix, you can summon similar magic, without the voodoo of automation. The point of automation is to adjust parameters and settings within your recorded tracks without having to lay down a completely new track with different parameters. You can use it to tweak things like delay, EQ, gain levels, volume, and more as a track progresses throughout your song. Here are a few tricks that I love using in studio recording:Īutomation is a wonderful thing when recording. You won’t know what you can truly do until you find out what you can’t do sometimes. I’ve pushed it to flatline a few times, but I tend to do that. I’m not sure how many people out there hit the DSP limits on this thing, but it’s a tough bar to reach, that’s for sure. The dual-processors and high power of this beast have lent itself to a vast array of possibilities. With that said, I’ve pushed the Helix VERY hard.
#HOW TO USE STEREO MIX PLUS SOFTWARE#
Whatever software or hardware I get my hands on, I do tend to push them to their limits to see what they can and cannot handle. I use Helix to record and write my originals, and as my main effects unit for cover bands. Without a doubt, Line 6 is spreading the love around for everyone to enjoy. The Helix Native plugin brings all of the Helix to your favorite recording software. The HX Effects brings the sounds of Helix in a smaller unit for use with your favorite pedalboard setup. The Blogging Musician Line 6’s flagship multi-effects processor, the Helix, has so many features it’s great for original work, and covers.
