Hi i was buy podxt few days ago and i start allready made some experiment with this item Today i was download also the free program Audacity and i was try record some tones from podXt becouse i wondering how the audocity work and sound after recording lot of you around recording your self and play GMC lessons over backing track but i was find out that i don't know how to add the backing track to audocity?? If this possible?????? thanks Rene btw- if you maybe know some better program please let me know Free program-because i am not so good with my playing to record as PRO also somethime when i play over headphones over backing{trying play } then i have like 1 second backing track sound break...it's some way how to avoid it??? Audacity I believe is a Wave Editor so you can't really do what your looking to do that I know of. Recording with a DAW you would just import it to a track then record on another track for your part. Free I can't help you with but! Cheap I can Reaper costs only $60 USD. As for the sound break sorry, but I can't answer it. - Travis S. -------------------- Guitars:

yes, you need to have the backing track as a downloaded file before you can play against it. That is currently possible for some but not all GMC lessons.
Also, another shout out for Reaper ... It is free to try and capable of very professional results if used correctly. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

+1 Reaper
It is free, however on the site they list it as 60 bucks. You don't have to pay the 60 to play is my understanding. However, you will be greeted with a message every time you fire it up? Something like that. Others who use Reaper for "free" can verify this. Also, do we have a REAPER thread for discussing REAPER ? -------------------- The more I practice, the more I wish I had time to practice!

Something like that. Others who use Reaper for "free" can verify this. Also, do we have a REAPER thread for discussing REAPER ? Reaper isn't free - a licensed copy for non-commercial use costs 60USD. However, you can download a trial version for free and there is no time limit set for how long you spend assessing it. Once you complete your assessment you need to pay for a license or you should deleat it from your computer. Those who continue to use it after they've finished their assessment but who do not purchase a license aren't just breaching the terms of agreement, they are also affecting the future viability of the product. Reaper isn't produced by a large multinational company but by a small number of independent software writers and if they can't earn money from it then they will go out of business. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

Unfortunately, my experience is going horribly so far.... I can't seem to "find" the amplitute VST to plug into Reaper. At this point, I'm only getting awful noise with Amplitude. Without, I could hear the clean guitar. I'll keep troubleshooting to see if I can get there....

I've pretty much wasted the whole day downloading programs and failing at my mission. Haven't even got to record (haven't tried yet) because Amplitube still sounds HORRIBLE, despite many tweaks, and is so badly delayed that I can't imagine effectively using it to play to a track. Even if it worked, I can't load it into Reaper (manually placed the .dll file, but still doesn't show in the VST list) in order to record.
Many hours wasted, much frustration..... apparently I'll have to just BUY something at guitar center if I ever have half of a hope at getting this to work. Even still, I'm wary since I'll have to install it to my laptop and get it working myself. This is why I leave recording to studio guys, and I just play live. Very bummed right now, since I was very excited to have the ability to record and submit decent tracks. Gonna have to step away from the computer and de-stress after all of this. ARGH!! **Just noticed that I've only been at it for 4 HOURS!!! Feels like days. Guess I'll keep trying.

Your research paid off! I have only seen two of your REC's but the effects are great! Maybe you should charge admission? Wow thank you for your kind words, I'm glad you liked my takes Well here I am posting my pod settings if any of you are interested. I posted an example of what is easily acheivable with audacity and an Ibanez GRX70DX (a guitar included in a cheap beginner guitar pack) at the time the secret for good sounding with this guitar was for me to be able to compensate the low output of the bridge pickup. To do so I had to edited the parameters of the 4 bands EQ on the pod settings I linked just here and give a good boost of DB in the high and low frequency, my goal is to acheive a good metal sound. So I give a boost of 12.6 DB on 115Hz frequency and 11.5 DB on 3.9 kHz frequency and to me it sounded ok
