Hello Guys, This might be an already answered question but could not find on the forum. My setup is like that; I'm using HX Stomp as an audio interface to logic pro. My monitors are connected through the usb input of my computer. Guitar is connected L-mono; hx-stomp is connected via usb. When I try to use guitar plugins, like bias fx 2, in logic pro, somehow all things mixed up; meaning hx stomp preset mixes with the plugin !? I don't want HX stomp preset sound coming through actually, just wanted to use it as a audio interface. It only happens with the external plugins; not with the default plugins comes up with the logic. I hope this is a some config. thing in logic pro, but I'd like to hear if you've some help for me . Thanks in advance.

Hello I will start to use the X3 live as an audio interface for voice recording, I'm not really sure which would be the best mic, but for economical reasons...I'm tempepted to use my SM57 for it..and I have 2 concerns, 1- Would that mic be a good choice for vocal ? 2- Would the sound quality using the X3 live as an interface will be good enough for mastering ? I mean...at the end, will I be able to get a semi-professional sound? thanks Fabio

Hi So I am about to purchase a line 6 pod 500x or maybe a hd pod pro x, don't know yet but it will be one of the two, after I get help from this forum on some questions I have. My need for either of these units right now is just for recording, I have a nice mesa rig I use live and I love my amp, but who knows maybe I'll use it sometime for live gigs. As for now I want to just record with it. My recording rig right now is a MAC using Logic Pro x with a m audio profilre 610 interface. I have been micing my amps to record wich is becoming a pain in the lollipop due to always trying to get a better sound and not to mention having to stop because family needs to sleep, I could play till the wee hours of the morning when I need to record something, and it sucks when I cant. So I have 2 questions. First I need to the best sound possible and both 500x and hd prox seem to be very similar in that regard. Wich one and why? Second question is about connecting it to my Mac. I use a audio interface that has two xlr inputs, two line inputs, midi in and out, and s/pdif. I know I could use both line 6 units usb into my MAC, but what if I wanted to use my audio interface, do I use unbalanced out into line input or do I use balanced out into mic input? Also the 2 mic inputs of my interface are actually mic/inst input that alow me to plug a 1/4 cable or xlr cable. It's a M audio profire 610 if any of you are familiar with that interface. I want to use the interface so I can keep my mic ready for vocals while I record guitar. What's best unbalanced to interface or balanced to interface or s/pdif, will I get any quality loss? And for what's the best, why? Thank you for putting up with my long question.
