  1. Done!!

    Got the combo pack as that was the best deal. They really should've had a better pricing upgrade path from FX1 to FX2 (i.e. $99) which would've been more reasonable, but I'm happy with their products. 

    Thanks all for chiming in.......Helix Native is next. ;)

    While not the designed usage for AXE I/O and I'm not sure about your RME, ASIO4ALL would help you link the AXE I/O with other (WDM) audio interfaces  devices. Mac handles aggregate devices a little better than Windows in this aspect via the Audio MIDI Set Up in Utilities, but I hope this info helps.

    Hmmmm. Not that I *need* it but I do have $55 in jam points bringing it down to $244.99.

     

    I just wish it could be used simultaneously with my RME in ASIO mode. IIRC it uses its own proprietary drivers (Mesh knows better than I on this).   

    I'm also not sure about RME, but what Ryan said works. I wanted to jam along with YT vids and found this FAQ in setting it up here: https://www.ikmultimedia.com/faq/index.php?id=1236

    BTW, congrats on getting this.....I think you'll love it! (Alembic compatible too ;) )

    Helix Native is IMO the best software based amp-sim plugin currently available.

     

    A workaround for not having a standalone version:

    Save an otherwise empty project with Helix Native setup and ready to play.

    You've got User presets in Helix Native... so you can swap sounds quickly.

    The UI is pretty easy to get around (especially if you're familiar with the hardware Helix).

     

    You can load your favorite IRs (for both Cab and acoustic-body-resonance).

     

    Another thing to keep in mind:

    The better your front end DI, the better results you're going to get with Helix Native.

    If you've seen posts saying Helix Native doesn't sound as good as the hardware, it's often because the user is comparing the hardware Helix (120dB dynamic range on the input) to a $100 audio interface (crap DI) as the front end for Helix Native.

     

    I'm also very interested in getting this and truly appreciate your input Jim. My DI (IK's Axe I/O) has a 117dB dynamic range which should hopefully be up to par. Will try out the demo and start saving my pennies. :)

    Sent them an email.....let's see how good support is.

    Gabe replied/apologised stating that's the only payment option available ATM, but are open to other options (G Pay, wire transfer, Zeller etc...). He also said he'll extend the $29 deal for me for another week.

    Cheers Mesh!

    Just checked Amazon UK and it's normal price ☹️.   Shipping from Amazon US is 73.96 USD ?

     

    :(

    I wouldn't mind getting it for you and shipping it, but we're getting ready for hurricane Dorian to hit us this weekend. Otherwise, it would've been no problem mate.

    Nice...I can get it today if I order now!  LOL

    Do it man, that's about the price I paid too....it's one of the best things I've got in awhile (within my budget). ;)

  7. 16 Hrs. left for the $29 deal....you gotta drop it like it's hot!! ;)

    When I went to purchase, it seems to only accept Paypal and I was planning on using my CC. This isn't good (since I don't have any GAS money in there) and why no CC purchasing??
