Helix Native Plug-in Brings Premium Guitar Amp and Effects Modeling to the Studio
Calabasas, CA. (PRWEB) August 18, 2017 -- Advancements in technology continue to change the way guitar music is recorded and then enhanced “in the mix.” The process keeps becoming faster and easier, while the possibilities for what’s achievable sonically are expanding. With the release of the Helix® Native guitar and effects plug-in the state of the art may well be hitting a new benchmark. Powered by HX Modeling technology—the same technology found in the Helix family of professional hardware guitar processors from Line 6—Helix Native is a complete guitar production tool that delivers new levels of authenticity.
Getting immediate access to sounds that capture the tone of classic and modern guitar gear—amps, pedals, speaker cabinets—is a challenge. Professional hardware equipment is often vintage, hard to find, difficult to maintain, and laborious to work with. Having a highly developed tech solution at your disposal is the desired endgame; you want to get all the tones without any of the hassles.
For use in the studio, Helix Native enables a fast and intuitive workflow that facilitates inspired tone creation. Requiring no additional processing hardware, HX Modeling leverages the computer’s built-in DSP power to recreate the dynamic sound and feel of 60+ amplifiers, 30+ speaker cabinets, and 100+ effects.
The guitar amp sounds in Helix Native were painstakingly designed to sound and respond like the originals they are modeled after. Line 6 engineers diligently measured and matched the circuitry of vintage and modern amplifiers to ensure the highest levels of accuracy, providing a diverse palette of responsive tones in a flexible, digital environment. Adding to that flexibility, Helix Native presets are compatible with Helix hardware, so guitarists can also perform live with the tones they craft for recording, and vice versa.
The Helix Native plug-in’s sonic possibilities, however, extend far beyond the scope of guitar. It’s a versatile and powerful tool for producers, engineers, sound designers, film/TV/game composers, electronic musicians, and anyone else who wants to add exciting new sounds and effects to their productions. A clear, clean, and informative UI makes it easy to manage even the most complex signal paths.
The plug-in’s high-quality vintage and modern effects can be used to enhance vocal performances, and also sound great on a wide range of instruments. The Helix Native plug-in also supports 3rd party impulse responses (IRs), offering even greater mixing flexibility.
The Helix Native plug-in features broad Digital Audio Workstation compatibility, offering 64-bit performance on AAX, AU, and VST3 platforms.
