Again I guess it wouldn't change much but perhaps fool the ear a little? Wow, that's a cool trick Kris. I've never thought of it! But I'll definitely do that from now on! Thanks!

What use is a compressor to you isn't that making the quiet sounds louder? Does your interface make a difference to the sound quality? If you went guitar > POD > computer for recording would it make a difference to the sound that you're recording. Also one time i remember you saying you were able to take my recording and put it through your POD sound how is that possible if it's already recorded?

For guitar I usually set it around 100 Hz, depending on my tone. The reason for this is that we don't want the low frequencies from the guitar to interfere with other instruments that need those low frequencies (such as bass, or bass drum). Otherwise we would have problems with the phase (which we don't want). Some people call this a "high-pass filter" but it's the exact same thing as low-cut. Just a different word for it. A compressor makes it all sound louder, but it also helps the instruments to "fit in the mix" which is very important. My old teacher in sound engineering school used to say "learning to use a compressor is just as difficult as learning to play an instrument" Maybe that's not entirely true, but it is very difficult in the beginning. QUOTE (steve25 @ Nov 27 2007, 04:07 PM) If you went guitar > POD > computer for recording would it make a difference to the sound that you're recording. Yes, if you put a microphone in front of your amp you'll also get the sound of the room. That don't have to be a bad thing, but most of the times it is. So I prefer to go: Guitar > POD > Computer. QUOTE (steve25 @ Nov 27 2007, 04:07 PM) Also one time i remember you saying you were able to take my recording and put it through your POD sound how is that possible if it's already recorded? I remember that! It was a way for you to get the same tone when you didn't have a POD. The idea was that you plug your guitar straight into your computer. No amp, No POD - just the clean signal from your guitar straight into the computer, and record. Then you could send that recording to me and I could run that file through my POD.

If you know how to do that then you could have 2 different amps going through which is what my solo sound is on the "you ready?" Collab (the second solo). That's my POD sound plus yours. Ah no what i mean is you have an interface even though the POD is one. You have an M-audio or something don't you. What i mean is you record using guitar > pod > interface > protools. Would it make a difference if you you didn't use your M-box? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

What i mean is you record using guitar > pod > interface > protools. Would it make a difference if you you didn't use your M-box? Yes, exactly. I've got an interface called DIGI002. So I record: Guitar > PODxt > DIGI002 > ProTools. If we didn't use the DIGI002, and went Guitar > PODxt > Computer input. Then the only difference would be the quality of the A/D converter (analogue to digital-converter). If you've got a bad sound card in your computer, then you might hear the difference. But I doubt it, because the sound cards these days are often pretty good. QUOTE (steve25 @ Nov 27 2007, 06:46 PM) How could you send a clean recorded sound through your POD? That’s very easy! Just plug a cable from one of the outputs of the DIGI002 (interface) – to the input on the POD. (then plug the output on the POD to the input on the DIGI002, as usual) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Nov 28 2007, 06:10 PM	GMC:er Posts: 1.197 Joined: 19-April 07 From: Wiltshire, England	Yeah i was thinking about getting a multitrack recorder, that i can record from there and then put onto my computer although i was hoping to be able to record my amp but apparently i won't be able to do that. I just can't seem to get a recording through my pod > pc well it's a bit annoying there's obviously something i'm doing wrong but i don't know what. Do you think that'd be a good idea or is there no point in doing that? By the way my pc is kidna old so maybe that's not so good You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Exactly what is it that don't work? Doesn't the signal from the POD show up in your recording software? Btw, what software do you use? How did you connect the cables?

Nov 28 2007, 09:49 PM	GMC:er Posts: 1.197 Joined: 19-April 07 From: Wiltshire, England	Ok this is how i'm connecting: I'm plugging my guitar into the input of the PODxt, the PODxt is connected to the USB port of my computer which is connected by the USB part of the PODxt. I use the lead that came with it. From there it's recording straight into cubase. I'm trying to get a sound as close to my PODxt > amp sound as i possibly can but here's the rub. Correct me if i'm wrong if you record just the one track no panning or anything just the one. although you won't get a nice fat sound it should still sound ok though right? It should still sound like you're guitar has gone through an amp just without the doubling or anything? Well it doesn't, it sounds pretty bad that you wouldn't really like to listen to it that's what i'm sort of getting. Now some patches will come out ok but others won't. yet the ones that won't will sound perfectly fine through my amp in fact they sound great. This is kind of hard to explain but hopefully you can understand. The thing is i can't really compare to anything or much because i don't have anything that i can record with except my computer microphone .

I haven't tried it w/Protools yet because I'm still diving into the manuals + DVD's of learning protools but I was wondering how you hooked it up. It looks like you go from the outs of the PODxt to the audio ins 1-2 on the Digi. Is that right? You bypass the USB all together? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

But if I could record over USB, I would do that (because then there's no need for the D/A to A/D conversion).

Marcus i found out yesterday what i was actually using was a live patch, not a studio patch. I didn't realise there was a difference. And so it was sounding good with my amp because that's what it was made on. I started playing around with it and it started to get better but i have a question about your patches. How do you know that they are going to sound good when you record and double them? I mean are there things you think about like for example not too much distortion or not too much treble or anything like that? Like your Collab patch sounds great in the recordings but obviously doesn't sound as good on its own. How do you know that it will be ok when you record with it?

Well, I actually think that the Collab-patch sounds pretty good on it's own Take a listen to it in this lesson. I honestly don't think it sounds that bad even when it's not doubled. So my approach is that if the patch sounds good on it's own, it will only sound better when doubled. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Well it's just i was wondering you know if you had too much high or low it would come out way too high or way too low when you double it in the recording so was just wondering. Yeah with me i really like the doubled collab patch you have there it sound awesome in the collaboration song and stuff but i don't like the sound of it on its own.
