jegarcia Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Hi guys. I'm a guitar enthusiast. I'm going to be switching from NI's Guitar Rig to an hd500x in a few weeks. My current studio setup is: Alesis Monitors (RCA inputs available) Saffire Pro 24 audio interface Guitar Rig 5 guitar software Ableton Live 9 Suite Mac desktop FCB1010 MIDI foot controller How do I connect the HD500x to my current setup so that I get sound/signal from the unit into the monitors/Ableton Live for jamming, practicing, and recording?. (I'm just interested in the connections not the actual DAW setup) On my Saffire Pro I have the following input options available: - SPDIF (RCA) - XLR - 1/4" line inputs Thanks I hope I will get to know some of you in the next few months via this forum :) JG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Just plug the spdif from the POD to the Safire and you're good to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 .... or you could bypass the Saffire and use the HD500X as your audio interface. Connect your monitors to the HD500X outputs, connect the HD500X via usb to your computer/Ableton. Configure Ableton to use the HD500X and its ASIO driver as the audio input/output device.

rd2rk Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 With the Firewire interface and a total of 3 inputs (with spdif) he'll probably want to stick with the Safire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
