Lots of options for 1000$. Could you tell us what you will use the interface for, what modelers are you planning to use (if you have some already), should it be USB or PCI?

Pandora can be used to record without need of anything else. It provides lag free USB recording with ASIO driver, amp modelling & effects. Guitar > Pandora > Computer, and you are set.
Getting a Toneport/POD would pretty much erase Pandora out of the equation, as they do the same thing, but based on Line 6 Models. -------------------- Guitars:

Hello,
Glad to hear you installed pandora's software to start recording with it To hear the sound while you play/record, connect your computer speakers to pandora (Instead of the amp). USB connection allows for the sound to be recorded with no latency, but to atually hear it you still need to connect your speakers to the unit I wouldn't connect pandora to the amp, as it colors the sound of the actual amp-modelling in Pandora. I never used that "live" software to record (don't really know what it is), I used Reaper. If you use Reaper be sure to select the PX5D Asio driver as input source. Edit: Oh! I see you meant Ableton live software!, yeah, I know that one, but never used it. I prefer Reaper . One more thing, which you probably already know, px5d sound editor is very useful to control the unit from your computer, much easier to change amp modelling & effects that way This post has been edited by Fran: Sep 5 2009, 11:06 AM -------------------- Guitars:

Gary, if you will use the Pandora, you don't have to invest in any interface/modelers at this time. I suggest that you get those monitors and read some articles about music production since this is the primary thing.
For DAW software I recommend that you use Reaper. It's free, and very useful, lot better than the Live DAW software. For monitors, they have to be powered and connected straight into Pandora's OUTPUT jack. OUT jack on the Pandora is stereo phone jack, so you may need some adapter once you get the monitor speakers. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

If the pandora is a valid audio device (it sounds like it is) then you can tell your entire computer to use it. If you prefer, you can tell only certain applications to use it. Your audio workstation (reaper, audacity, cubase, sonar, whatever), and perhaps your music player app if you like to jam outside of the DAW. Winamp, for example, will let you configure its output plugin to use whatever sound devices are available to the operating system.
Stuff that makes noise you might not want monitored (email alert, IM, general system sounds) could be left to another device so that they're not recorded AND not blaring through your monitors. -------------------- ::jafomatic

Would I route the computer audio to one monitor and the Pandora to the other? Or is there multiple connections in the back of monitors such that they can receive multiple input signals simultaneously?.. No, just set your Pandora as your sound card, windows > control panel > sound, make sure you select pandora as your audio interface instead of your current soundcard, and you are set. -------------------- Guitars:

As Fran suggested, go to Control Panel, choose Pandora as your windows sound card, and all the PC sounds will come through Pandora to monitors.

Thanks much to all for the information.. it has helped me a great deal to get an understanding of what I need to do.. the info will be put to good use! I have pretty much decided to get a set of KRK Rockit monitors. I work right down the street from KRK so they are local, plus I have read many positive reviews of their stuff while doing research. Cheers! Gary Glad to be of help mate -------------------- Guitars:
