would it affect latency, would it affect use of Apollo plugins, would it affect the ability to even do the initial wet + DI tracks with Helix as step 1?). In this case, the S/PDIF Ins/Outs on both the HElix and Apollo are connected to create a big loop.is that ok (maybe that's the way it's supposed to work but I want to make sure)?Īlso, if the above would work, should it be done this way (with the Helix connected to the Mac/DAW via USB) or the reverse way (with the Apollo connected to the Mac/DAW via Thunderbolt 3) and for what reasons/justification (i.e. What would the routing for something like this be? Something like:ĭI track in DAW-> Helix S/PDIF Out-> Apollo S/PDIF In -> Apollo Line Out -> External Pedals -> External Amp-> (makes sound) -> Mics -> UAD Apollo Mic Ins ->.UAD S/PDIF Out -> Helix S/PDIF In -> new tracks printed into DAW? I've checked other threads and am aware the S/PDIF on Helix can be used to connect to S/PDIF on Apollo units that have this option but I'm not clear which should be the slave or master or even which unit should be attached to my Mac via USB (or Thunderbolt if it's the Apollo I guess).
I'm not clear on the routing for this or if it's even actually possible. What I'd like to do is get a UAD Apollo of some kind, to use the plugins and also for the multiple Mic Ins.īut I'd still like to be able to use Helix's modeling in the following way:Ī) Begin with a wet + DI recording using Helix into my DAW (Ableton Live) exactly the same as I do today.choose a Helix preset and record that + a DI version into the DAW.ī) But then re-amp the DI multiple times through my external amps (and pedals), capturing that via the Apollo Mic Ins and printing these new tracks to my DAW. Today I can obviously reamp to use the external pedals (Sends/Returns) and/or external amps (1/4" Out) and then capture the external amp sound with the Helix's single Mic In. I have a Helix Floor but I also have a number of external pedals and guitar/bass amps/cabs, etc. Sorry if this post is a bit long I'll try to be succinct but it's a complex question.
