Thanks,
I probably won't switch often, but I always forget about snapshots Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Is that only true when you're running Reaper? If so, then you still have monitoring on in Reaper. Turn that off. You'll no longer need to mess with that. I couldn't leave this so I got out the meds, stuff tissue paper up my nose and had a go. Even with Reaper not running I can hear the guitar, it's to do with Scarlett Mix control, I can adjust output levels in there regardless of where the knobs are on the Scarlett. The input lights still light up on the Scarlett too for some reason and I can turn them up easily enough to get clipping. I can leave them down and ignore them but my OCD won't allow that USB from the Helix has a number of channels, both dry and wet. Record the wet to one track in Reaper and the dry to another track. I set all Helix channels to record in Reaper, you can see the dry one with the lowest signal but some don't register at all. Any advice?

You don't want to have to run Reaper, or even turn on the computer, just to hear yourself playing guitar. QUOTE I set all Helix channels to record in Reaper, you can see the dry one with the lowest signal but some don't register at all. Any advice? Again, that's what you want. A wet stereo input pair and a dry mono input. That allows you to record one or both. -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

What are the other 5 Helix channels for? The ones that don't register any input?

Those extra channels are an advanced optional feature in case you want to capture something other than the main outputs.

Thanks Todd,
Ok, I've got my XLR cables, when I get home I'll get then into the system. Should I set the input to instrument, line or pad on the Scarlett?

Ok job done,
Guitar into Helix LT, Helix LT XLR L/R outs into Scarlett 1&2, mono (L) 1/4 out into Twin City, Twin City split to Peavey return and/or Trio + (I haven't hooked Trio+ up to Scarlett yet). The Helix LT sounds awesome through the Peavey and Celestion Vintage 30 cab. So recording via USB, all monitoring via Scarlett with amp and Trio+ for fun and jamming. All I need to know is should the Scarlett XLR inniskilling be set to line or instrument? I don't want to damage anything.

Thanks Todd,
I didn't know if line was for something like a low output device and I thought maybe the Helix would be high output. I'm completely out of my depth with that sort of thing. What is "pad" for? I can set pad on inputs 1 and 2 whether I have instrument or line switched on. Cheers Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

A big thank you all of you that helped me out with this.
My new setup is working a treat and I have taken out some cables altogether. All paths are much more straight forward and I can not go into my Peavey valve head in an instant. Before this, the Trio + had to be permanently switched on because my guitar signal went through it, all six 1/4 sockets were in use Here's a picture of my desktop pedalboard. Do you know of anyone that makes small angled pedalboards like this? This is an inverted plastic shelf off a wall at work, it's a bit flimsy and could do with being long enough to get the Twin-City on. Below the desk is the Helix LT and the foot controller for the Trio + Looking forward to my new workflow This post has been edited by Phil66: Apr 20 2018, 09:04 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

"desktop pedal-board" is actually a very creative idea

It works well for what I've got on it, easy reach and not having to switch on and off very often like effects pedals

I have a question. I've been meaning to ask for a while.
My Helix feed to my Focusrite is via XLR. This is how I hear my guitar through my speakers, (recording feed is via Helix USB and I can't hear that). Now this isn't really a problem, I just want to understand it. The volume knob on the Scarlett controls total output of everything, The Scarlett Mix Control can control individual things like the XLR volume. My question is, why can I hear my guitar when the input knobs on the Scarlett XLR sockets are turned all the way down??? The guitar gets louder when I turn them up but I would expect that but I wouldn't expect sound to come through when they are turned down. Thanks Phil.
