yea I have it ran from my pod to the mixer, with the monitors into the mixer. it works fine like that for guitar for recording and playing.

i am gonna have to buy a decent sound card and see how that goes and I will come back and let you know the verdict.

Im sure that once I do that, everything will work. Thanks for your help.

What you said is correct.

You could also run the analog outs of yout HD to your mixer, the disadvantage is with a standard pc soundcard you are only going to capture 2 channels, (L&R).

There are a few different approaches.

It depends on your work flow and how many separate channels you want to record simultaneously.

Now that I think about it, I will probably need the mixer hooked up to a PC in order to direct record vocals, keys, and drum machine. I guess when Im doing that, as long as I dont plug the POD in, the audio interface will be the sound card. And I also guess that once I plug the POD in, that takes over as the AI. Just thinking outloud

Alright, first of all, I love the ease of use that my HD400 has given me to record. I have KRK powered monitors and it sounds absolutely fantastic. My questions are as follows. MY setup is a POD HD400 direct into a PC for recording, using Reaper. I recently bought a mixer to be able to use my drum machine, vocal mics, and keyboards. My issue is when it comes to getting my drum machine to show up and record on Reaper. I have tried many hookups,(and will continue) but havent found how to get it to direct record to my DAW. The drum machine works fine thru the mixer. Havent tried keyboard yet as I want to solve one problem at a time. Do I need to get a quality soundcard for my PC? It sounds like that would complicate things considering the POD is an audio interface. Any solutions??
