Hey guys!
I just got my lovely POD Studio and I am fascinated by the possibilities of it. I want to record myself now, so I downloaded reaper. I checked out some tutorials on GMC, but I´m to new to recording to understand something. Can somebody explain me how to make it possible to record via my audio interface?

Another problem is: I don´t hear myself while playing through the speakers. I also have to wear headphones. How can I change that?

Thanks,
Tolek

Sounds like your inputs are routed weird. Sorry I dont have reaper or I can point you in the direction. With sonar I have to tell Sonar where my inputs are coming from.

Ha, it works. And it sounds awesome! Not my playing but the sound.

The problem with the headphones is still there...

What i do with my Toneport to hear myself throught the speakers i simply connect the speakers in the headphone input...... I dont know any other options

Posted by: Tolek Dec 25 2008, 12:31 AM

Good idea, but my speakers have not such an cable ending/input or whatever. You know?

Then i dont know.... my speakers have that kind of cable

The Toneport has two analog outputs in the back. These are 1/4" TRS jacks. If your speaker cable is 1/4", then just plug in. If not, their probably 1/8" in which you will need an adapter. Either way will sound fine.

However, if you are trying to use computer speakers, the type that only have one connector, you will only get feed from one channel of the Toneport. In that case, plu them into the headphone jack like Superize mentioned.

I´ll have to get an adapter. Thanks.

I just installed Ableton Live 7.0. When I try to open it, nothing happens. When opening the task manager, I see that there´s the Live process running...
What happens? Did anybody experience that, too???

Try to reinstall the Abletone and see how it goes man. Also regarding sound, since POD Studio will be your sound card from now on, you can connect your PC speakers to it. Just get an adapter.

Posted by: Tolek Dec 25 2008, 07:38 PM

I reinstalled it already, but nothing but the same...

I´ll try to get an adapter.

I don't know what could be the problem with Abletone mate. But, you can use Reaper as it is rather cool software as well. There are some tutorials here on GMC as well.

I tried Reaper and I like it. It´s a pity that I got such a program with the POD Studio and I can´t use it!

But Reaper does the job as well.
Thanks.

Yeah, it is a bit pity, but I don't thing Abletone Live is considered a great program for recording. It is rarely in use by professionals.

Good to know.

Reaper is really easy to use and I still don´t know much about it.

Just wait a few weeks.

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Dec 28 2008, 05:13 PM

Have you checked out tutorials about Reaper here on GMC mate?

Posted by: Tolek Dec 28 2008, 05:18 PM

Not yet, Ivan. This evening I´m gonna check them out when all my gear is at its place in my room. (I´m at my father´s right now.) Why are you asking?

Posted by: Pedja Simovic Dec 28 2008, 06:10 PM

Tolek I want to hear that Pod Studio now man
Did you fix your recording trouble?

Posted by: slak Dec 28 2008, 06:37 PM

Tolek, are you still trying to get sound out of your computer speakers? If so try setting Reaper up like this.

options>preferences>device>input device>UX1 output device>"your on-board soundcard"

That should enable you to hear your playback through your main speakers. You will still hear your guitar in your headphones when you record, but playback will be normal.

I wanted to say that there are tutorials on GMC in the case you ever need them or anything, and if you haven't checked them out yet, since you are using Reaper mate. I hope it helps
