Messier82 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 The tone through the headphones out jack sounds immaculate. However, through the USB or the two line outs I get this fuzz. The sound lacks dynamics and articulation. I go back to the headphones jack and sounds great again. Anyone else experience this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Shouldn't be that way; the same signal (except for a D/A conversion) is sent from the POD over USB and through the headphones out. Something outside the POD is happening. Tell us more about your recording setup. Which DAW? What ASIO driver? Which computer OS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Also, tell us about your headphones. If you are the same headphones that come with, let's say, an iPod, that doesn't explain the hiss but it explains the sound quality. Those things are usually "bass reflex".

Messier82 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 I'm using Skullcandy over ear headphones and stereo speakers. I'm recording using the L and R lineouts into a pod UX1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Have you tried using the HD500 as your audio interface? You don't need the UX1. Connect the HD500 USB to your computer. In your DAW (never heard of Skullcandy, but....) set the Audio properties to use the HD500 and its ASIO driver as the audio input./output device. Turn monitoring off in your DAW and use the HD500 headphones output to monitor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messier82 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Thanks a ton for the feedback. That's what I'm doing now. I was running the two line ins into the UX1 because the hd500 is sending me both it's own signal (from the amps) and signal from the computer creating a sort of echo due to a slight delay. Aside from the echo, everything sounds way better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messier82 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Also using Windows 7 with FL Studio. I don't care what anyone says. You can create some really good mixes with FL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 re: the echo...... make sure you turn the monitoring off in your DAW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadgrooms Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 With two different speaker sources, things are bound to sound different. Assuming you've considered that, here are a couple things to check... Plug those headphones into a headphone jack for the speaker system you're using (if possible) to see if you're getting the proper tone there. This would help determine if it's a speaker system or setting. If it's the same bad tone, check your POD output settings -- hold the "view" button, go to screen screen 4, MODE should be "STUDIO/DIRECT" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
