I don't really have a lot of experience into using multiple-paradigm fx processors and at most i've been exposed to simple stompboxes i bought the POD HD500X with the intention of using it as a recording interface as well.
I have a line 6 Spider IV 75 watt amp and a Dean VMNTX - but that's mostly it and i've just gotten to using the unit as a recording interface i just want to get everything configured atleast so right now i have no particular recording software or anything installed i just use the windows sound recorder :P After struggling quite a bit i managed to configure the signals and everything so my computer can pick up the signals from the POD - but the problem is. I need the POD simply to pick up the signal from the amp as it is - my amp is set to a high gain modern metal setting and it sounds flawless when played through it - but the POD just doesn't record the amp. Infact what's recorded is simply played back without any distortion or anything it's just bland sound. I'm completely new to this - so i was hoping whether there was some sort of resource out there a video tutorial to help me get things set. Basically what i want for the POD to do is is record the signal exactly as it sounds through the amp. All i have is the USB cable, Guitar Cable , My Guitar , The Amp and the POD HD500X so is there anything i can do ? I'm uploading an example of what it sounds like when recorded - it's absolutely unlike what i hear through the amp.
