It’s a personal thing, if you already have the Focusrite, you could try it and see if it is a better workflow system for you. Not using a second interface means one less stage of analog/digital conversion.
I used to have a Focusrite Saffire, but stopped using it when I got the Helix and a new iMac Retina 5k and could no longer efficiently use the FireWire connections on the Focusrite. The dry audio can be used to re-amp back through the Helix hardware, or through the Helix Native plugin within Logic. This allow me to monitor the audio without any latency and record the processed audio signal in stereo from USB 1&2 along with the dry guitar signal from USB 7. I also have my powered studio monitors connected from the XLR our on the back of the Helix. I use my Helix floor unit hooked up to my Mac via USB to record directly into Logic Pro X.
Use the internal Helix audio Interface directly to connect with my MAC via USB for recording? Or go with the signal through an Focusrite and then into the Mac? What do you think it´s better for recording (amateur home recording). I still have a bunch of cheap Soviet watches that are still working. Also spent a lot of time at Brandenburg Gate buying odd trinkets and souvenirs. I visited there about 5 years after the wall came down and loved visiting both the east and west sides and seeing the contrast at that time. But I also have Helix Native, so I now only use the Stomp's USB for MIDI control. I think if I was doing guitar only, I might use the USB for recording due to the reamping capability. So now I run my Helix Stomp through the Apollo, and everything is working perfectly for my needs. At first I tried using an "Aggregate Device" but found it to be unreliable on my system. And I use two sets of monitors coming out of the Apollo. But you also have to look at your workflow, and convenience.įor me, I also record with microphones (through the Apollo). From my experimenting (Helix Stomp USB out, or audio out through an Apollo Twin), I think the recording quality was equal.
