Steve, when you say the sound is higher pitched, do you really mean that the sound is pitch shifted - e.g. it plays back in a different key? Or do you mean it sounds like it has more treble, like someone turned the tone knob up full?
The later could be caused by the difference in amp speakers and your PC speakers. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

QUOTE (steve25 @ Nov 12 2007, 08:25 PM)  Sorry no i meant treble high. Yeah i figured it had something to do with my setup. Do you think raising the mids on my PODxt would do it? Thing is when i hear it through the headphones from the POD it sounds more bassy then what comes out of the recording. So it can't be the amp speaker can it? Although i guess what you're saying it when i play it through my amp it will sound chunkier then but compared to my amp the recordings are nowhere near as good as that anyway. It will sound different for sure. One important thing when recording is good monitoring, and PC speakers just won;t do it. To get serious you need a decent pair of purpose designed monitors and they will give you a truer feel for what is recorded. Both your amp and your PC speakers will distort in different ways, so might your sound card. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Ach, you can pretty much ignore what I was saying then Steve - I was assuming that the frequency shift was down to a mismatch between the pod audio and cubase. (I don't use pc speakers so Andrew's line of thought just didn't occur to me
 .) Anyway won't hurt to check them and ensure you're using ASIO at the same time and Andrew's also right about investing in good monitors when you can.Cheers, Tony -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

QUOTE (steve25 @ Nov 12 2007, 08:54 PM) Ok yeah i'll still double check. Well i was going to get some studio monitor headphones for christmas. They're ones made by sony would they be good enough. Price is around £70 i think. Andrew i think i already know the answer but might be wrong, is it possible to get a sound the same or at least closely similar to my amp without micing it? I mean as i said earlier i'm using the same PODxt patch but recording without the amp, just headphones They will sound different for sure - you need to decide which you prefer. FWIW, the pod is designed to work straight into a sound card because it has built in modelling. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

QUOTE (steve25 @ Nov 12 2007, 10:54 PM) Ok but could why do you not like doing double tracking stereo, why do you prefer double tracking mono? I understand that one pass stereo wouldn't be as good. Doesn't really matter if you pan it correctly ... the double tracking is the key. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

Nope, you are getting stereo if you are recording via USB ... (because you start with a mono signal, and it gets converted to pseudo stereo by effects like delay or chorus). Leave those off and what you have is to all intents a mono signal even if it is recorded on a stereo track. You can then pan it left and right after recording and you will get the desired effect.

QUOTE (steve25 @ Nov 13 2007, 02:05 AM) Ok thanks Andrew so is there much difference in sound and sound quality if i were to record either mono or stereo with my POD? You have to decide on what effect you are going for. If you don't add stereo effects in the pod there will be no difference, if you add stereo effects and record in mono some of the impact and perceived spread of the signal would be lost. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
