Yes you should have got a X3 instead
 Now you will need a soundinterface like a Line6 toneport, Lexicon, Presonus, Edirol etc. which will cost you between $100-200 depensinf on model. (very rough estimation) With the X3 you wouldn't have to get a separate soundinterface but the X3 is one in itself. Maybe someone who owns a POD 2.0 has found a bettwe way, but an USB/Firewire interface is how I would do. And mind that with the X3 you get all the add ons etc already inluded (cost $50 each for metal packs and so forth) + vocals + dual sounds which is just brilliant for a full soundscape. Did you get the 2.0 in a store? Add the cost for it + a metal pack if you need that + soundinterface and I guess the leap to a X3 isn't _that_ big. EDIT: I see now that you can get a Lexicon Alpha or Maudio fastrack for $99.99 to get away with less than $100 spend on a soundinterface.

You should have gotten the Toneport mate, it's a good device for desktop recording.

You can always get a Toneport GX for 80 bucks, will do the job nicely. That's what I did after getting a pocketpod and being in the same situation you are now Praetorian. Toneport GX works like a charm. Provided you need to recod just 1 instrument at a time, if you need two at a time then check Toneport UX1 or even UX2, but those are a bit more expensive.
Or get a pandora px5d. Or a POD X3. Just in case you haven't tried: you can hook your line out from the pod 2 into your soundcard and recird that way. Problem is, unless you have a really good soundcard, it will have latency, which means you won't be able to hear what you play in real time, and that is not good at all. Give it a try, who knows, might work. If not: Toneports, pandora px5d, X3... in order of ascending cost. -------------------- Guitars:

QUOTE (Praetorian @ Aug 7 2008, 10:49 PM)  Thanks guys! I am not looking to record more than one instrument...just my guitar. I'll look into those options! Than any toneport will do the trick..I use ux2 for my lessons etc.. They are very easy to use and efficient
