Been trying to understand what this document means:
I'm using Helix Native on Studio One with a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd gen, and I understand that the audio interface input should be set to 0, but regarding the "1" in the column "Line 6 Helix Native / Metallurgy", cell "Focusrite 2i2 (3rd Gen)", I'm a bit dubious.
As the row above all columns say "Set your interface gain to 0, and plugin input gain to this (use a trim plugin before the amp sim if its beyond the range of the plugin)", I did set Helix Native input gain to +1db, but while for my guitar that will give me an input level between -36/12db (as it should be), with my Harley Benton GuitarBass, I don't even reach -36db, as the pickups are quite low gain.
So, I see it talks about using a trim plugin to turn down the level of the signal, but in the HB GuitarBass I would need to do the opposite. Actually, I have to set the Helix Native input gain to the maximum (+18db) for the signal to be in the desired levels.
Does it make sense? Or should I just turn the Scarlett input gain up as needed and forget about that "set it to 0"?
