Really appreciate the very detailed answer. Thanks!
It does sound like I need a separate interface no matter what if I wanted to do reamping, Pod or not. I guess for now I'll just take the time to learn the Pod and worry about reamping later. TBH, I actually see myself dialing the tones in before worrying about recording instead of using reamping as the main way of doing things. I just thought it'd be good to have that option, but it seems there's a limit to how "all-in-one" the Pod HD is.
I do understand the Pod is very complex, and that the presets kind of suck. I'm fully prepared to spend time learning how to dial in the tones. I also like instant gratification, so I'll definitely just be noodling around on the presets for some time before starting to play around with the settings, especially since I usually take a little time to hear what's wrong with the tone I'm using. Then, when that time comes, I won't bitch about how the Pod sucks, but how the presets suck.![]()
Well, yes, the POD is great but there just are some things Line6 haven't thought of including. Still, in my last post I wanted to state that there's no need for an external interface really, unless you want to record other instruments vocals, use condenser microphones and such things. I have an internal interface in my desktop computer, an M-Audio 2496. I used to plug the pod to the S/PDIF input to be able to record 96 Khz 24-bit, but there's no really need for that since it takes a lot of disk space and the quality doesn't show really. I was forced to record with the POD connected to USB when S/PDIF didn't synced to 48 Khz, but I also felt it's faster to set up, less complex, so last time I just went for that. Just plug it and record. I'm still using the M-Audio interface for vocals or other instruments.
