Loco23 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Hi all! I just bought the Line 6 Hd500 and love it. However, is there a way to input my guitar signal from the pedal straight to garageband software through USB? Or do I have to purchase a separate audio interface? Thank you.

Tboneous Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Yes. I prefer going through my own interface though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 You do not need to purchase a separate audio interface; the HD500 is an audio interface. You may need to configure Garage Band to use the HD500 as its audio interface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may need to configure Garage Band to use the HD500 as its audio interface. I have found that using the HD as the interface in Garageband and Logic Pro 9 unusable. The tone that I play is not the tone that gets recorded and I find it very noisy. I'm sure I am doing something wrong. Which is why I prefer to use a separate interface (M-Audio to be specific). How has it worked for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I am on a PC, not Mac, environment but I know the HD500 works with Garageband. I can't say how well, and many people prefer to use a different audio interface in both environments for various reasons. I'm just saying he could - not necessarily should - use the HD500. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triryche Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Unless you are mic-ing a real amp, if you use the HD as an interface, the playback or the recording via USB should sound virtually identical what you heard while you were recording. If it doesn't then there is something amiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
