HD500 sounding strange in computer


Recommended Posts

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!

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!

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.

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?

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.
