The Audio-MIDI device
panel reflects the choice
you made in the PODxt
signal routing window
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, 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.
