Start Recording with the Headrush MX5
Музыка
Welcome to the first of a two part series that covers how to start recording the MX5 into your computer. There's a lot of confusion around this topic so this seemed like a good time to cover it. The MX5 is a fantastic USB Audio interface for your favorite recording software, also known as a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). You really only need the MX5, your computer, and one of several different DAW solutions out there like GarageBand, ProTools, Logic, Cubase, etc. In this video, I'm using Reaper, which is a great DAW for the money.
If you're using Windows, be sure to download and install the MX5 Windows Audio Driver from the Headrush website here bit.ly/35Pv9lp

Thank you so much. I'm a beginner with this, but you've made it much easier for me.

I'm watching your video hoping it will also help me record with my HeadRush Prime. I'm hopelessly inept when it comes to the technical aspects of recording guitar and vocals to my computer. Thank you for the video, I'm just now starting to watch it and again hoping it will corelate to the Prime device, new subscriber, peace.
Cool Scott thanks!🎸

I don’t have a computer good enough. I’m going right into my iPhone. I run the MX5 to a mixer. I use a mixer so I can add in backing music. Then go right out USB from the mixer to a lighting adapter to my iPhone. Comes out great. I put out a video on it. Keep the MX5 videos coming.

If you want to hear what you’re playing in the room do you come out of the speaker outs of the MX five to studio monitors?

If you notice your getting crackle or the output seems way high, your rig output on the headush might need to be adjusted down. I noticed with each rig that I had to set it up just right. Just adjust it on the headrush and reaper to desired levels.

If I turn off monitoring on reaper I hear nothing out of my headphones. I have headphones plugged into my pedalboard and the windows playback device set to Speakers Headrush Pedalboard. All other options don't work except the actual speakers in my PC but then I can't hear guitar. All I hear is youtube videos and other audio on PC but nothing from reaper. My Scarlett interface is far easier to user. What am I doing wrong.
Guys maybe you can help me! I live in an appartment and want to practice guitar with one of my friends at the same time but I can not disturb my neighbors. Is there a unit like the Headrush MX5 where me and a friend can have 1 guitar each and plug them in at the same time so we can play together with headphones ? So I want something where I can plug in 2 separate guitars and have 2 separate headphones, and play together via a computer. External sound cards like Focusrite scarlett have this but all the Headrush and Line 6 units I can find only have 1 guitar input :( Does anybody know of something that has both Guitar amp simulators, guitar effects, soundcard and can plug in two separate guitars to be able to play with a friend in headphones ? Thanks for tips guys!
Can you please tell us what your Reaper settings are? I'm seeing that audio is showing on reaper but no sound is coming through my speakers.

Hi. There are a lot of reasons that can happen. I found I had a lot of clicks and pops when Bluetooth and Wifi were active on my laptop. Also, it can come down to your app and how it works with your computer. Just gotta mess around with it and you'll eventually get it operating.

Thanks pedal guy. I am new to recording. I am using Focus Scarlett as an interface and Protools as DAW. What I do is use my headrush gigboard and run the output thru the Focus scarlett then going to the DAW. I have not encountered any issues so far. Any comments on this set-up?

Nothing wrong with that setup. I might be better to connect the Gigboard directly to your computer via usb and make that the audio io when you’re recording guitar tracks specifically.

You can record a wet track and a dry track if you'd like
got some problems with audio overhere.. i'm not used to play with daws etc... but for the output (sound) do you use headphones who are connected to the mx5 or to you PC? I want to play guitar infront of my pc with the mx5 and playback some youtube or instruction video's like yours. So i want to setup my headset to my pc and connect only the usb cable from my mx5 to my pc. Can u help me? cause i can't even get sound out of my headset when replay an track that i've recorded.

It should work. Make sure you have the USB Audio mode selected on the MX5 and make sure that you've selected the MX5 as your audio output device in Windows.

I only hear something when i plug my earphones into the mx-5. (Then i can also hear the recorded tracks)
Another question, can you record the guitar separately from the vocals then mix them together?
