DG-20 Legacy in our live setup on Helix Native
How a Sound Library Becomes Part of the Show
DG-20 Legacy becomes part of our workflow by starting directly from the songs themselves. The 15 presets cover ambient cleans, delays, drive, modulation, and lead sounds tied to specific moments in the repertoire.
With Line 6 Helix Native, we apply the same approach within the recording session, keeping each sound connected to the song and to its role in the mix.
From Sound to Song
Each preset takes us directly to a specific reference point: Shine, Any Colour You Like, Brain Damage, Comfortably Numb, Coming Back to Life, Keep Talking, Learning To Fly, Money, Run Like Hell, Sorrow, Speak To Me, Take It Back, The Wall, Time, and Us and Them.
In the more atmospheric songs, we focus mainly on delay and space; in the lead parts of Time and Comfortably Numb, sustain, dynamics, and presence in the mix become essential.
Run Like Hell is our reference for precision and delay; Money for attack, gain, and modulation; Shine and Us and Them for depth and ambience.
On stage, it's all about the FLOW
With Helix Native, the workflow begins directly in the studio: presets, input level, and the relationship with the rest of the mix are all controlled within the session itself.
The adjustments made within the plug-in remain tied to the project, while the live rig is managed separately. This allows us to maintain sonic consistency without blurring the line between studio work and the setup intended for the stage.
