snifflestink Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Hey all, I recently purchased a new Line 6 Pod HD500x. I am trying to record and rehearse using my macbook. I am plugging the 500x usb into my mac and plugging my headphones into the back of the HD500x... for some reason the volume on my mac, especially when pressing the volume keys, is EXTREMELY loud, almost deafening. I already went into the system preferences and lowered the audio to almost barely audible. I cant hear the instrument and if I turn it up ever so slightly, it's like Im cranking a 100 watt tube amp into my ears. What gives? Also, how exactly does a setlist work, because my unit is not saving my setlists or bundles. It just says "User 1" Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Can't help you much with the sound card issue, as I don't use mine that way... But if the unit is new, there should be a bunch of set lists containing all the factory pre-sets...99.97% of which are awful and unusable, but that's another discussion. User 1 is just one of these "set lists". All a set list is, is a group of 64 patches arranged in banks of 4. You can edit the existing ones, or start from scratch. With the HD edit software, you can back up individual set lists to your computer, or save a "bundle" which simply saves all the set lists at once. It's a good habit to get into in case you need to do a factory reset for some reason. You don't want to have to create all your patches all over again.
