The other thing to keep in mind is that Native (and the Helix) have infinite possibilities (knobs to turn). I only use headphones and they are definitely not the issue for you or me unless yours are super cheap. If you record your guitar the way they do (with their guitar and equipment), other than playing style, you can sound exactly like them with Native.Īnd FYI - I don't even own monitors. I could never make my sound like the ones in the demos." I don't know you, but I disagree with this. On this comment - " For example let's take Helix Native as an example. They sound identical and I could literally not be happier with what I can do with them. I bought the Helix rack earlier this year and Native a couple months ago. And depending on who you are listening to, they might be selling presets or themselves so they are not just sitting down and playing and recording like us. Without hearing them or you, we can't give specific advice, but you used the word "lush" which leads me to believe they are double tracking their guitar or using stereo effect and you not. He directed me to some example videos on youtube and it was all about how those tracks were recorded (typically doubled) and in other cases after doing some research I read that the guitar the person was using has "special" pickups, etc. I had a very lengthy discussion off-line with a Helix used on that forum. I also have a Blackstar ID:30 TVP and with my earphones it never sounds what I hear in videos either. I have a Les Paul with stock pickups and a Squier Deluxe HSH Classic Vibe Strat.
I'm plugged directly in Focusrite 2i2 and listening thru Audio-Technica - ATH-M40X. I've been using amp modeling for years now and I never get close to any of those sounds. I have presets that I'm happy with but it does not have that full lush tub sound like int the videos. I could never make my sound like the ones in the demos. For example let's take Helix Native as an example. I'm sure there must be plenty of people thinking the same thing!!! Now I'm not talking a real amps miced up. I also posted the same question on Bias FX Facebook.Why is it that every video post I see on the web regarding amp modeling weather it is a vst or an actual solid state modeling amp the sound I get is never the same, never as good by far. Hello, I have a question and it's not directly related to Helix Native but since I've been using it a lot lately then I decide this would be a good place to post.
