You can download Reaper for free! (Although you should buy their license if you continue to use it!)
You can get it HERE! You can load the Backing in one track, open another for your track. Export as mp3 or WAV and then import to movie Maker with your Webcam recording and edit together. A good tip from one of the Instructors is to mute the strings and strum them quite hard just before you start your take, that way you can look for the large 'spike' in the sound wave and match it to the video of you striking across the strings more easily!! -------------------- I'd rather have a full Bottle in front of me than a full Frontal Lobotomy!!

I'm doing a video soon that will help you overcome this issue, stay tuned!
Regarding Reaper, it's not exactly free, it has 30day trial period, and after that you need to get a license. However, after 30 day trial period has ended, software will stay completely functional, without any limitations, only to remind you every startup that you need to get a license. So, not free, but fully functional after trial period. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Sounds to me you're doing things a little backwards, probably to solve latency problems?
There are sound drivers, special use to lower latency to a minimum. One is ASIO. With your POD you should have got one. You have to tell your software, such as Reaper or Quickcam to use it. That's done under each software's Audio settings by setting sound-/audiodriver to be ASIO That way you should be able to select your POD sound. Start the webcam recording software (remember the ASIO sound driver) and get everything in synch from the start. -------------------- My bands homepage

hey guys, thanks for the help so far. I am really bad at recording pc related stuff, and i am postponing the issue since years as I am happy when i just find some time to play the instrument. Well I got 3 weeks of holidays now and wanted to dig a bit into this recording stuff, so I appreciate any help and will surely love to watch your video. Do any of you guys know a complete noob introduction? I even get lost with some terms, the different layers, the signal chains, monitoring whatever stuff, bypass whatever stuff, .. know what I am pointing at? Like when I read some guides they are always 3 steps ahead talking about mono, stereo track adjustments and synchronizing with khz whatever, well I just want to record some stuff into reaper and put a video on it thats all. Well maybe I can ask some questions now / clarify what i think, just so I get it right: I can use PODx3 as a standalone with gearbox, select my sound and record it "live" with reaper (1 layer of audio) alternatively I can record a dry signal into reaper via the pod (without gearbox!) and put effects over it after the recording via a vst. I cannot record "live" as with gearbox with any other vst besides podfarm because the latency will be too high so I can just put vst effects over already recorded "dry" tracks. I guess the easiest thing for me to do is insert a backing into reaper, and then choose my sound with gearbox and record another "live processed" audio layer. I simultaneously record the video which is then later synchronized with e.g. windows movie maker to fit the audio. got that right? thanks in advance for any help! gotta be super patient with me Yeah, you should tweak the options or preferences of your ASIO driver to see if you can reduce latency somehow by increasing buffer size. Try Control Panel>audio card, or from Reaper. I had Toneport UX1 from Line 6, and although it worked nicely with Gearbox before reaper (as a mixing and modeling software of the card itself), this card handled plugins poorly, so I could barely use Guitar Rig 3 (which was popular at the time ) -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
