hey guys, just to put this in order, this isn't a 'should I get a pod hd vs. some other interface' thread, so no need to worry.
now that that's out of the way i'm thinking of purchasing the pod hd 300 this christmas, and i just want to make sure i'm making the right choice with this. i don't really need the extra features of the other models (i think?), so the 300 is what i settled on. i quite like the tones from what i heard so far, and i can always tweak them if i don't. the thing is, i'm not too sure if i'm making the right decision with the pod, or if i should just save the money. what i'm looking for is something easy to plug into my macbook pro (i noticed it has the usb connectivity, should make it easy right?) and just mainly play from there, and record smalltime with reaper.
so basically, a tl;dr version:
1. is the pod hd 300 a good idea to get to just play around on?
2. does it sound good at low-ish volumes (i'm in a dorm at college)
3. will it sound good if i plug it in via usb and have it play through my macbook speakers (the harmon kardon soundsticks II)?
4. is it easy enough to record direct-in with a program like reaper?
