One of the best things about Black Friday deals is the huge price reduction on plugins. Not only do we save loads of money, but we don’t have to wait for it to arrive at our door either! So, when we noticed that Sweetwater had slashed the price of the excellent Line 6 Helix Native plugin in half from $399 to $199, we couldn’t help but shout about it.
For the full lowdown you can read our 4-star Line 6 Helix native review here. Initially we felt the $399 price was a little off-putting, but with half off it just became an essential for any guitarist seeking studio-grade tones for recording. In our review we said: "[With Helix Native you are] buying into that Line 6 Helix family with its high-quality sound and a pretty comprehensive range of modelled gear - a definite asset for anyone with a DAW who records guitar."
Line 6 Helix Native puts the power of Line 6’s award-winning (and game-changing) Helix modelling inside your computer and DAW. It’s crammed with the same algorithms and amp models as its hardware counterparts, so you can access high-end, studio guitar tone at the click of a button.
Inside the plugin, there are over 60 amp models, 30+ speaker cab emulations and more than 100 effects, all of which can be arranged into custom patches. Helix Native uses the same component and behavioural modelling technology as the Helix hardware, but unlike the hardware you can open as many instances as your computer will run simultaneously!
As well as this, the plugin allows you to break out of the ‘real-time’ commitment to your sound, so you can continue tweaking while you mix in order to dial your tone in perfectly, even after you’ve recorded your part.
You’re not just limited to guitar and bass, either. Load Helix Native on any channel of your production and you’ll be able to apply the world-class amp modelling and effects to your drums, vocals, synths… or any other tracks you like!
