Line 6 GearBox 3.5 – Using Your Line 6 Hardware PODxt - Audio Signal Routing & Re-Amping Re-Amping is the fancy schmancy name for recording a dry, unaltered instrument signal to be processed later during mixing - this gives you the greatest flexibility to make later tone tweaks, since you don’t have to commit a particular sound to the track(s). This is of course the way that plug-ins work, so it’s something that all plug-ins, including GearBox Plug-in, provide. If you don’t have plug-ins but do have PODxt, there’s another kind of re-amping available. PODxt, PODxt Pro* and PODxt Live provide an additional set of driver options for recording where the signal fed to Record Send 1-2 can be set to “processed” or “unprocessed” independently from what you are hearing as your monitor signal from the PODxt device. Access the PODxt Audio Signal Routing options by clicking the Advanced button in the Line 6 Audio-MIDI Devices control panel... Select the signal to be routed to the Record Sends here. The text in the Record Sends panel describes the signal now being carried on he Record Sends This slider sets the level of the re-amped signal sent to PODxt for monitoring In the PODxt Signal Routing selector you can choose one of four routing modes for the signals that run inside PODxt, and to Record Send 1-2: • Send Processed Guitar - This is the normal mode of operation: PODxt-processed sound is sent to your computer via Record Send 1-2 so it can be recorded in your audio software. PODxt gets its input from the guitar plugged into its INPUT jack, and you can listen to PODxt-processed guitar sound as well as sound coming from your computer via PODxt’s LEFT OUTPUT, RIGHT OUTPUT and PHONES jacks. • Send Clean Guitar - This mode sends unprocessed guitar to your to Record Send 1-2, while you listen to PODxt-processed guitar and software playback coming out of your PODxt. You can use this to record an unprocessed guitar signal in your audio software for later re-amping, while hearing your PODxt-processed guitar signal without latency being added by your recording program. You can then choose USB Signal Routing modes 3 and 4 when you’re ready to playback that track and re-amp it through your PODxt. You may also want to record a copy of your PODxt-processed sound from the analog outputs of your PODxt when you are making your digital recording of the clean guitar, so you have the processed version for reference when re-amping. This track is also handy for punch-ins, since you can listen to it during punch-ins to hear the processed version of the part of the previously recorded track that you want to keep. • Send Clean Guitar Re-Amp Playback - This mode sends un-processed guitar to your recording software, feeds the signal from your computer into PODxt’s processing, and lets you hear the PODxt-processed computer sound at PODxt’s outputs. You can use this to run an unprocessed guitar track that you recorded using USB Signal Routing mode 2 into your PODxt for re-amping, 2•21
Line 6 GearBox 3.5 – Using Your Line 6 Hardware allowing you to listen to or record the PODxt-processed result via PODxt’s analog outputs. You can also use this mode during initial recording, so that unprocessed guitar can be recorded to a track, and the output of that track can be sent by the recording program to PODxt at the same time. This lets you punch-in on the track while you’re recording, and hear PODxt processing of the already recorded part of the track as well as the new portion that you’re recording during the punch-in. Your recording software will add some latency to the guitar signal that it is monitoring back through to PODxt. You can generally get the lowest latency by reducing your buffer size in the recording software, but lower buffer settings will utilize more of your computer’s processing, so you may not be able to run as many tracks or effects in your recording software when you do this. See your recording software’s instructions for details. • Send Re-Amp Playback - This mode is designed to receive unprocessed guitar from your recording program, and send processed guitar back to the recording program for recording. You can use this to run an unprocessed guitar track that you recorded using USB Signal Routing mode 2 into your PODxt for re-amping, so you can digitally record the PODxt-processed signal back to another track in the recording program. Note – it is not a supported practice to “hot swap” your Line 6 device (unplug the USB cable and plug it into a different USB device) while it is in use by GearBox or any other audio software. In fact, this just isn’t a good idea to do with any USB audio devices, since it can result in a loud pop, loss of sync and possibly crash or corrupt your current audio software project. Routing audio from your Line 6 hardware to an external device In addition to the ability to route digital audio directly within your computer, you may instead want to route your GearBox or PODxt signal into another sound card on the same or separate computer. Better yet, with all the great tones you can now create for your mics & instruments with GearBox, there is no need to limit them to the inside of a computer! You may also want to send the signal to external hardware such as an analog or tape Multitrack unit, a DAT or video tape recorder, or even to an amplifier or P.A. system for live performance. To follow are instructions for these different types of setups. Connecting analog outputs to an external device You can route your GearBox Tone to just about any type of external device simply by connecting the Analog Outs from the back of your GuitarPort, TonePort or PODxt directly into the external device’s line level inputs. This allows you to amplify or record your GearBox signal using any external device that accepts analog line level inputs. Connect your TonePort, GuitarPort or PODxt Analog Outs to the analog inputs on any external audio device 2•22
