If it's like pocketpod, it may have a line in/aux input, like the ones used to jam along with a CD/mp3, and you can plug your metronome there.

Matt,
Are you using Gearbox? It has a built in metronome. |

some metronums allow you to put it in the effects chain so you can put it in the line between the pod and the guitar

Can you use Gearbox software from Line 6 with your POD? If so it has built in metronome.

I have the PODXT, the best person to answer this is Muntahunta, he`s a wealth of knowledge on the X3 hahaha cheers smells you could put the metronome in the line 2 of the POD but that would mean missing out on the dual tone. if your using the computer as an amplifier for your pod, try using the metronome in guitar pro, or download one of the many free software metronomes out there. there is also an aux input on the POD itself so you could run it through that. if you get REALLY desperate, try setting the effects (delay, etc) to the tempo you want to use and follow the flashing "tap" button. (only if you have the X3 Live) hope that helps -------------------- Guitars: Epiphone Les Paul Standard w/ Dual EMG 81 Pickups. Size 11 Strings.

as for the connector, i think your talking about the XLR... thats a problem, just use the "aux in" if you can, if not your going to need an XLR - Jack then a Female To Male Convertor for the XLR... confusing
as for recording, you can use any recording interface, personally i use cubase SX3 and it works fine with the X3 (sometimes get a little delay on the playback of the sound though.) -------------------- Guitars: Epiphone Les Paul Standard w/ Dual EMG 81 Pickups.

Hi Matt
The best possible thing to do is to set up your pod with a decent amp and speakers completely separate form your computer if at all possible - this will make a much btter recording and monitoring environment. When you do this you can ditch your existing soundcard if you want as the pod acts just like a soundcard (assuming you have plugged in the USB cable). You should also use the USB cable for recording, not the input on your soundcard as this will give you much better quality. Regarding Gearbox - its a piece of software that lets you setup patches on the pod a lot more easily than using the controls on the unit itself, and again it works through the USB cable. Its a free download to pod owners so you should definitely check it out, and as other have said it also has a metronome. Hope that helps! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

in all my time using POD's i never knew gearbox was free! I love ya for this bit of info ----- ok, i just tried, its not free for me ----- yes it does lol Ok, not sure where you ended up with that but let me clarify: Gearbox the app for managing your patches and other stuff is free. Gearbox the VST plugin (basically a POD but in your sequencer) is very much NOT free. They are called the same thing and even download together but do very different things ... -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
