what is your reported latency wiith helix plug-in?? I'm not home until tomorrow, I'll check sometime this weekend. Do any of your devices support thunderbolt? I see from a reply you are getting some lag on your helix plugin? What is your block/buffer/samples setting in reaper? If you can get it down to 32 samples or you should not hear any lag when playing through a plugin. Getting that setting as low as posssible is key. I don't see the original post though, so I don't get what the overall issues are. What's going wrong when you use the helix plugin? It ran perfectly on my laptop which is just a quad i7 16gb ram ssd drive. I don't think so, I use a 2nd gen Scarlett 18i8. I'll have a fiddle with buffer size when I'm home this weekend. It's not the plug in, I get the same issue with the LT if I switch Reaper to "Record monitoring" rather than "record monitoring off" which is the Helix direct to the monitors but I can't see how to use direct monitoring with the plug in. What do you mean, you don't see the original post? Thanks. This post has been edited by Phil66: Oct 4 2019, 07:16 AM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Thanks Mertay
Just for the record I've never changed any buffer or sample settings so they will be at the default still.

I get no sound when I use direct.monitoring with Native, it seems as though direct monitoring bypasses the computer so its just Helix into soundcard allowing Reaper to record. Can't see how to do this with Native.
I saw a reply where you were talking about having issues with the plugin. It sounds like direct monitoring works? Why not just use that? -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

so , you might have said this , is your routing guitar >soundcard>native >soundcard > daw Not sure to be honest, never messed with routing in Reaper. I'm waiting for luggage at airport at the moment, be a few hours before I can check but I do know guitar >Scarlett then I guess Reaper and then Native because native opens within Reaper. Not much experience with plugins. Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Not sure to be honest, never messed with routing in Reaper. I'm waiting for luggage at airport at the moment, be a few hours before I can check but I do know guitar >Scarlett then I guess Reaper and then Native because native opens within Reaper. Not much experience with plugins. sounds like the right sequence , I was just wanting to make sure there was not some extra step increasing latency. This is how I do it .so I would monitor thru reaper , if you try to monitor any other way you will introduce latency. Is monitoring turned on in reaper .Cheers To help- you want to record with as little effects as possible and when you go to mixing turn your buffering up high my Block size is 256 this leaves as much latency as if you were standing about 25 feet from your amp ( pretty much none ), now when I have ez drummer a bass midi , a bass midi plugin , a plugin guitar rhythm track (left and right )and then a guitar plugin for a solo track. Sometimes it works other times it clicks , it seems usually before an update , which updates usually screw up either reaper or Bias Fx for a few days https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...amp;qpid=771766 This post has been edited by jstcrsn: Oct 5 2019, 05:28 PM |

Now I'm remembering why I don't like plugins!!!!!!!!! If my Helix LT is on, I can only hear that over everything else unless I turn the output down on the patch. The LT goes through inputs 1+2 (Stereo) on the Scarlett and even with those turned right down I still get the LT sound going through input 3, input 3 is a direct feed (clean) from the xlr output of my Relay G10 so why is the LT coming through that???????????????
Anyway, if I turn the patch down in LT I can hear the Native patch, I can even hear it relatively loud with input 3 down to zero. I can also hear the dry signal followed in an almost slapback echo time, by the effected signal, this is what is doing my head in apart from the fact that the Helix LT is making its way into input 3 Thanks for your help with this folks, I hope I can get it working, I was really hoping to be able to use Overloud TH-U at some point if the rig hasn't gone through the window before then. I don't know if I've done it right but I started LatencyMon and strummed the strings while taking a screenshot. I won't be able to do any more tonight though.

Thanks Mertay, tomorrow I will give you buffer values but where do I get latency values from? Sorry, you know I have a mental block with this kind of thing

Thanks Todd,
I'll try that as soon as I can. Line 6 have kindly given me another 15 days trial so we should have time. Cheers Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

In Reaper? I can't see it, I can only see, record monitoring ON/OFF/AUTO, I only get sound with record monitoring on.
