Pod Farm Platinum Realtime Effects Monitor? Recording Software Recomendation?

Howdy do,

 

I own Pod Farm Platinum for iLok. Does anyone have any recomendations for recording software that will allow me send the signal into my Pod Farm Platinum and hear it before I record it? I currently own Acid Pro 6 and I have a copy of Acid Studio Pro7. It seems that I can only apply effects to a track that has been recorded. There doesn't seem to be a way to play my guitar and monitor the effects with my Pod Farm Platinum iLok activated software. I connect my guitar using a Line 6 Guitarport. I also own an Alesis Multimix Firewire mixing board. Using either of these I can her my signal, but when I activate my Pod Farm Plat Plug-in It's still a clean signal. Is there a way to actually hear Pod Farm Platinum effects realtime monitoring before I record? I am a rookie. =)

 

Or maybe that's just how Pod Farm Plat iLok works? You can use it to apply to tracks already recorded? Maybe Acid Studio 7 just doesn't have that feature and maybe I should use different recording software? Any recomendations or advice would be cool. I am new at this.

 

Thanks!

    I've never used ACID, so I can't help you there. I use the iLok POD Farm Platinum plug-in with Adobe Audition 3.0, and I'm able to monitor the inputs with effects applied, so it's not a limitation of the plug-in.

    have you tried putting POD Farm in the effects send or insert of a track. How about in the input channel's insert?

      Yes, I think so. I inserted a POD Farm Bus on the mixer. The signal from my guitar is bypassing it somehow. I created a new track and I can select either my Multimix or my Guitar Port as the input and it registers. I have tried setting the playback to the Guitarport, I've tried setting the playback to my Alesis Multimix and even tried having the playback set to my sound card. When I launch the Pod Farm plug-in from the track I want to record, you can see there is no signal from the guitar going through Amp Farm as you can't see anything registering in the Amp Farm Levels.


      I have spent hours on this with no luck.

        have you tried the same input without the POD farm plugin? Are you getting a signal in ACID at all? Are you opening POD farm up as a stand alone or as a VST plugin?

         

        sorry to ask all these questions. I wish I could see your computer to help ya out.

        I set POD Farm in my Cubase 5's input channel when I want to record what I hear. Now if I want to record a dry track while monitoring through POD farm I would open it up in a send channel.

          Yes, when I create a new Audio Track in Acid, I can set the input to Guitarport, and I see the clean signal registering. I then click on the FX Plug-in and select Pod Farm. It comes up with all of the Amps as it should, When I play my guitar none of the levels register in Podfarm. So I don't know how it sounds. When I hit record and play my guitar back it will have the sound of what ever I selected in Podfarm.

          Maybe I'll just get a copy of Cubase. All I want to do is here the effects realtime. What do you use to connect your guitar? Do you use Guitarport or a mixing board?


          Thanks for your response!
