Anyone using HD500 With Pro Tools and IR's?

support@line6.com — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 01:45:17 GMT

Anyone experienced using the HD 500 with Pro Tools? I am thinking I will need a Convolution Plugin with some IR cabs to get this thing sounding great.

The reason being, I am trying to get some great sound out of my new Mac Pro (yes, a switcher) and Focusrite Saffire Pro 40, for recording in ProTools 10.

Using that setup, the HD 500 sounds very digital, recorded and also, just XLR hooked up to the Saffire out to my Mackie HR824 speakers.

I never had this digital sounding problem with my Window Vista machine with a Realtek sound card ( I know cheap) using Cubase LE4. Just a little history,

before leaning about computer recording , I was using a Roland VS1680 for recording so this computer recording is fairly new to me.

Back to the Convolution Plugin/IR thing, I tested with Scuffhams S-Gear Demo, just using the IR's in the plugin (no Amp) with the HD500 as an input, and went thru all the HD500's amps

without a cab (NO CAB) and the HD 500 sounded super, very pleased. but can't record with this plugin in Pro Tools because it is a VST3 and Pro Tools

needs RTAS or AAX plugins. ( I guess Scuffham will have a Pro Tools plugin soon).

Anyway, is there anyone using something like Redwirez MIR2 and their IR's, with the HD500 to get great results.

Regards,

I know this thread is old butI tried the 1/4" output direcly to the Saffire and then routed direcly (in Saffire) to Mackie HR824's and

the sound is very digital. My old machine was a Vista with a Realtek soundcard using Cubase ( now have Mac with Pro Tools 10) and the simple Realtek sounded great. I would

expect better results with the Saffire but too digital, don't know if this is the nature of the Saffire and think of returning if can't get better recorded HD500 sound.

Thanks to BigChase52, something I overlooked as I am learning about these guitars via forums.

Dave,

Also thanks a bunch for giving so much info.

I know all to well about tweeking less and less. as this is what I have done with the HD500 to achieve tones,

This I feel is the beauty of the POD HD500, OPTIONS! of tones,

And the JTV will give more options,

I will give this guitar some serious checkout when it arrives at the store. I'll call them to get the VDI cable also,

sounds like a should have.

Again thanks to both and will be looking forward to seeing this guitar.

Thanks Dave for the very informative post.

You answered my question on the LP model. I own a LP and love the sound of it thru the HD500 (especially with the new amp models)

Also use a Tele, that I love this guitar.but have been looking a getting a Strat, but now looking at the JTV 69S.

I have a JTV 69S (Black/Maple) coming to a local store where I can give a try with my set up of HD500 and DT50.

Another question, How does the updates affect the sound? I don't know if I can get the latest version for

the JTV without purchasing it.

Again thanks for taking the time to answer

HSS config vs SSS

Don't own one yet! But am curious if the HSS setup is going to be different sounding when using the

modeling vs the SSS setup, especially when using Gibson models? any thoughts on that??

This may be a stupid question, did you try the low cut in the cab parameters?

Re: V2.1 is available

support@line6.com — Wed, 17 Oct 2012 02:32:02 GMT

Maybe, but they sound very very good!! Maybe it's my mood but all of the new amps

are great.

Thanks, Line 6, all the amps sound superb, and I am not kissing any arse here.
