I've just started experimenting using my recently-purchased HR Gigboard as an audio interface, to see what it can do. I'm connecting to the Mac with a USB cable and to the iPad with the USB cable into an Apple Camera Kit (essentially a USB-to-Lightening convertor). I don't know everything, but here's what I've done so far... It applies to both the Mac and the iPad - they're working the same.
Like you, I'm using DAW in the Global Setting for USB audio. Did you set the USB Audio from OFF to ON, BTW? Easy mistake (DAMHIK, OK?). I don't think your computer would "see" the HR if you hadn't, but you never know...
So, first thing I did was test my ability to play back music. Can you hear audio on the HR headphones o/p if you play a YouTube clip, for example? That will tell you that the hardware is working for playback purposes.
Then I set up a little recording session. I set up the DAW to record a stereo track using an audio source - the i/ps coming from inputs 1 & 2 on the HR and sending the outputs 1 & 2 to the single stereo track. Because I'm in DAW mode on the HR, I couldn't hear what I was playing unless I made the DAW monitor the track and send the audio back to me. The Gigboard doesn't have the ability to do monitoring within in the audio interface. The HR Pedalboard may do - I don't know.
It works for me. Which is sort of what you want to hear, I guess. The HR does its job as documented.
A suggestion? If you can play back audio it's likely everything you've got wired up is correct and the problem is within your Audacity setup. I wouldn't have bothered to read this post if the title had included "Audacity". I wonder if Audacity users won't read it because it says "Headrush"? Title change, perhaps, to attract more Audacity experts.
FWIW, I tried to use Audacity a few months ago because I (cough) believed it might let me capture live streams of audio as they played. I couldn't get it to work. It doesn't look very intuitive to me.
Good luck, fella!
I was hoping I could connect the Headrush as an input to Audacity and monitor it using his normal PC speaker (actually a PA speaker plugged into the PC).
It seems to connect but when I play I see nothing happening on the track and hear nothing.
Dunno - I'l play with it a bit more.
It's a decent audio interface. I'm not planning on using my PreSonus when I'm tracking guitars throgh the HR.
Maybe you could run the USB in LIVE mode rather than DAW and listen to your playing without going through the DAW and back like it does with monitoring from within the DAW. I have to say my iPAd (and my Mac) are both fine when I'm monitoring via the DAW, there's no noticeable latency - but all hardware is different, as is the load we place upon it with our software. In DAW mode, your guitar audio only goes to the PC via USB. In LIVE mode, it also sends it to the main output sockets.
