The +18dB is unchecked. In the windows Control Panel for Sound there's a tab that has a check box for Microphone Intensity... that is also unchecked, if you're wondering (and the levels are at 100% and the volume I get is the one you hear in the wav)
I installed ASIO4ALL and I have PODs drivers all updated. I tried recording with ASIO4ALL option in Audacity, with POD selected, and also tried MME...
I installed Reaper and recorded using ASIO4ALL and ASIO POD HD500X, this is what I got with that patch:
ASIO4ALLv2: http://www.mediafire.com/download/3io2ytlftnvbwc4/asio4all.wav
ASIO POD HD500X: http://www.mediafire.com/download/zr469nkzh6vwjd5/asio+pod+hd500x.wav
Not good at all...
I said i'm using guitar - jack cable - pod - usb - pc...
Should i buy and external audio interface like a Focusrite or something and use it to capture from POD or directly the guitar?
And if you want me to send you something else please feel free to ask
