![]() ![]() It’s also MIDI controllable and the presets are compatible with the Helix hardware as well. The only additional guitar-specific plug-in that we use here is Line 6’s Helix Native, which sounds good, has a huge range of amps, cabs, and pedals, and allows the use of two chains at once. Let’s also put in a word for the Limiter audio effect, which is essential for optimising volume levels and reducing the likelihood of distortion (the unwanted digital kind). Once again, experimentation is required and it’s usually an idea to load the defaults for Pedal and Echo and start from there. Live 10 took a giant step with the addition of the Tuner, Pedal, and Echo effects (the Tuner is technically an effect, too) we have used all of these in real-world production situations. We don’t use these presets, but they’re good illustrations of what’s doable, especially when you look at the preconfigured macro controls and their labelling. In the walkthrough, we build a guitar rig from scratch, but there are plenty of presets to explore, for Amp and Cabinet individually, but also filed as racks under Amp Simulation in the Audio Effect Racks section of the Browser. It’s a small thing, but it was such a relief when Live got a tuner (incidentally, valuable for tuning samples as well)! This used to be the weak link with amp-modelling software and hardware.
