Hello guys, i am new here and i want an advice from you. i have Pod HD 500x and i have Reaper for recording. my problems are:- first thing when i connect the pod to my laptod the sound is really bad, i hear the sound of the guitar like there are 2 guitars plugged into the laptod with an Echo, and sometimes there is no sound at all. i dont know what am doing wrong there, but can anyone tell me the proper way to connect the pod to the laptod?? second thing, how can i get a distortion sound and a clean sound at the same time using 2 tracks or channels on reaper while am recording??? thanks
