Problem with sound quality when recording.

Hey. Last time I tried record some metal sounds from my POD HD300. (I want to record covers). So I plugged USB cabel, run Sony Vegas and record. But the sound was horrible. Crackles and noise were normal things.. What I have to do, to get nice record sound? Thanks in advace for help and sorry for bad English.
I don't know Vegas, but generally it works like this:
- Download and install POD HD ASIO Driver
- Start general POD HD ASIO configuration in windows: Start-> All Programs -> Line6 -> Tools -> "Line6 Audio-Midi Devices"
- Configure ASIO buffer size (to get sure start with 512k and medium block size, later you can reduce as long as there is no crackling)
- Level your recording inside POD HD ASIO driver (use recording volume slider and take care of +18db = off at first)
- Choose POD HD ASIO Driver inside Vegas Software Configuration
- Maybe you also have to level your own sound preset by e.g. using the Volume knob
- A little trick to avoid unnecessary listening delays while recording (latency): Keep the monitoring slider open inside the asio driver, but deactivate the monitoring function of the recording software.
Well.. But where can I find POD HD300 ASIO Drivers, for Windows 7 64-bit?
Wow. It's just better now. Thank you. But quality of sound isn't the best. Give me any good software, where can I get good, clean sound for recording or just another method
. Thanks. ![]()
Try Reaper http://www.reaper.fm/
It is free to try - there is a great forum (not as good as this one of course
)
And if you do decide to keep it it is pretty cheap.
I downloaded Audacity. It's free and not bad for first time with recording guitar at home. And finally I got nice sounds after record.
Thanks so much everybody for help.
Greets.
Trouble with audacity is that it uses the ASIO4ALL AISO emulator rather than the Line6 ASIO driver. You will be loosing sound quality. I really do suggest at least trying reaper, the demo lasts for 30 days and then it is $60 to buy - you can actually continue using it after the trial period, but you do have a nag screen.
Stay in the mix and in the know.
