Helix 3.7: The Freeman Update

[norminal]

I like Jason Sadites. His videos have been really helpful for me.

Oh, I have nothing against him. I’ve learned a lot from his Helix videos. I just like to poke fun at him every once in a while.

They helped me steer clear of lengthy YouTube talk, and play guitar instead

Sounds like we're getting an 1176 ladies and gentlemen

There are other tape saturation plugins, but I happen to like what Retro Reel does. With 1176es, however, if we did something that radically different from, say, what UA does with their various 1176 plugins, we'd have royally screwed up.

What I'm talking about doesn't exist in plugin form at all, AFAIK.

Kind of scary how often I'm using Helix native as a regular mixing plugin. I still haven't figured out what will trigger it going latent. I swear I've had chains with zero PDC added and then the exact same chain adding 16 samples

This is so spot on. Thanks, I hate it.

I like him to, and i learned a lot about helix from him, but I also learned that I didn’t really need his “special recipe” in my presets.

Man, my father had a bunch of The Far Side books. Good stuff!

Helix cup holder confirmed!

(And now I know I can make my fortune creating the cup holder plugin)

100%

Also, does a guitar processor need to have very specific type of studio effects at all?
You bet people will be comparing the modeled studio effect to other plugins while completely ignoring that it is a guitar processor that needs to run a million other things on a power limited DSP.

Feature request;

4x12 cab with G12-65 form the 80s.
New production Heritage G12-65 will also do.

It is the sound of the 80s, in fact, it's the period correct match for the JCM800. :wink wink:






Not to be confused with the G12M-65 Creamback.

I request this:

Heritage Series G12 65 - Celestion Guitar Speaker

Heritage Series G12 65 - This guitar speaker is widely regarded as one of the best speakers ever produced for use in a 4x12 cabinet

I'd sure like an 1176 in Helix.

Well, you're in the right thread for requests.
Also, if Line 6 doesn't listen you can start a "Helix 1176 Request Thread" and make some noise.

I bet they do a better job than UA....the helix LA2A is a lot more useful than the real thing

Yeah. It might just be my familiarity with it, but I find I get better results, faster, on initial mixes using the comps, mods and reverbs in Helix vs. my other plugins (including Izotope’s automated stuff). This includes vocals. The LA-2A and Retro Reel are great for beefing up and leveling tracks.

An 1176 would be awesome. I’d also love a Neve channel strip emulation…

 

[James Freeman]

I request for the Tuner button to be instantaneous, I REALLY couldn't care less for tap tempo.
Actually, remove the tempo display form the scribble strip entirely, it's a thorn in my eye, make it just say Tuner.
I play metal and have zero need for atmospheric whale sounds or permanent footswitch assignment for it.

Moreover, why the touch function still works in the tuner screen?
When I disable touch functionality I want it disabled everywhere without shit changing or popping on my screen unintentionally.
That includes the Snapshot Swap thing that pops out of nowhere, really annoying.

T3120. 16 Ω G12-65 with 1777 lead cone. There are a RIDICULOUS number of G12-65 variants considering the short time it was produced, as well as the reissue. T3120 is the one. Late 70’s with the Marshall badge rather than the generic grey label=cooler IMO.

Yep, that's the one.
Line 6 are in California, it shouldn't be hard for them to find a cab with these speakers if they hunt for it on Reverb or even borrow this cab from a local studio.
Line 6 have many rare vintage cabs, they know where to get them.
