4. Set both tracks' outputs, as well as the DAW Master output, to
Helix LT USB 1/2 to allow all tracks to play back through Helix
LT.
NOTE: Setting the stereo track's output to Helix USB 1/2 allows you to hear
your processed tone via the Helix LT hardware monitoring while recording.

5. Arm both these DAW audio tracks, hit the Record button and
start laying down your guitar performance!
Now you have your processed track to hear with the project, and a separate DI track
with which you can further experiment at any time with DAW plug-ins and/or re-amp-
ing (see the next section).
Re-amping Through Helix LT
If your DAW software provides options for routing individual audio tracks to outputs
other than just the main Helix USB Out 1/2, then you can use these steps for re-amp-
ing a dry recorded DI track back through Helix LT.
1. In your DAW software, set the DI track's Output setting to a
Helix stereo USB Out other than USB Out 1/2. For this example
we'll use Helix USB Out 3/4.
2. Create a new stereo track in your DAW project and set this
track's Input and Output both to USB 1/2 - Let's name this
track "Re-amped." Arm the track for recording.
NOTE: In some DAW software it may be necessary to also activate the soft-
ware monitoring feature on this "re-amped" track to monitor the processed
signal when playing back your project. See your software's documentation.
3. On Helix LT, select the Input block and set it to receive from the
same USB stereo pair (USB In 3/4) and keep the Output block
set to "Multi." Load your choice of amps and eects on the
current Helix LT preset.

4. Now play your DAW project and you'll hear the DI track "re-
amped" through Helix LT! Tweak your Helix amp & eects as
desired while listening with the playback of your project mix.
5. Once you have your re-amplied guitar tone they way you like
it, Solo both the DI and re-amped tracks, rewind to the start of
the project and hit the DAW Record button, allowing it to cap-
ture the signal into the new re-amped track in real-time.
Allow the DI track to play to the end, stop recording and you've created your new re-
amped guitar track!
TIP: Note that you still have your original Guitar DI track, and you can repeat this

add plug-ins, blend with your original guitar track and more.
