rodcap78 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Hi All...Well...Iam experiencing a very disturbing problem that I have no clue the reason... Let me detail it; - I set my HD500 to my computer and also turn on my Amp (I use Return, so I just use it as a speaker). - OK, I can set a nice tone and patch...It sounds great out in the ampli So starts the odd things... - I record some playing ( I use reaper, but tried several others, to the same result). - When I push "Play", and it soounds through my Amplifier, it sounds great, just as I set - If I turn off the HD 500 and just the play the Wav I ve recorded, through the computers speaker (I even put in IPod and tried to my stereo), it sounds terrible!!! - If I let the output be my Amplifier, it sounds correct.... Its hauting me, because I am not being able to record anything in home!!! Thanks alot lads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Your amp is adding color to your sound that is not being recorded. You should either mic the amp, or use an FRFR solution such as studio monitors. a couple of quick observations... hopefully you get a few more ideas from other users as well.

rodcap78 Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Hello "TheReal", Thanks for your reply... I think its not adding color, cause I have turned all knobs to "extreme left position". And I tried in other amps, and they sound basically the same...(all in the return option in) In the computer, it's not like it sounds different from what i ve tweaked... it sounds REALLY odd...like fuzzy and noisy.... Well..surely it sounds different , but the odd part is that sounds BAD, like turning my HD500 onto a old stereo system (And no....my Computer speakers are new, they are OK...).... Also...if I let the "bad" wav recording sound, from my computer, through my Ampli, it sounds great! Also, what do you mean by FRFR ? I am kinda new on this... Thanks again!

Triryche Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Full Range Flat Response. Dialing in tone for an amp vs studio monitors (or pc speakers) are two entirely different beasts. If you use studio monitors or studio headphones, your recordings will sound the same on playback thru the same monitors or headphones.. Try pumping an MP3 player thru your amp and see how different it sounds vs your computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpodgorski85 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Hey. I might have the same problem. I connect my POD HD500 to a USB port in my Windows 7 PC, update software via Monkey, set the POD as the active soundcard (both output and recording), but the sound during playing and on the recording (in Audacity) is muddled. Here's a sample: http://www.filedropper.com/line6directusbsample What should I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though your Pod is the active soundcard, check your Windows sound settings - the input level may be set at 100%, turning it down to around 10% usually works.
