When using the Line 6 POD HD 500X to record straight into your DAW, is an audio interface needed? Sorry this might sound like a stupid question but I recently watched Misha's video on how to record guitar. l saw he used a AxeFX2 for his tones and it seems like it was connected to his Focusrite 2i2 because he was testing it for clipping. I'm new to audio production so I don't know how the connections really work. I just bought that same audio interface because thats what I thought was needed for guitar recording. I have seen a few studio recording blogs where people use it as well. Currently I have my guitar plugged into the POD and my POD connected to my computer via USB. So far I don't have any latency and it actually records. Here is how I have it set up: http://i.imgur.com/YqhbpDD.png So my question is if I need to get the POD to the audio interface to the DAW. If not are audio interfaces mainly used to record with mics? I noticed you can [plug your guitar jack into them], so I'm guessing you can record directly into your DAW while having some kind of guitar tone/amp VST added or something like that.
