william1385 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Hi, first post. I recently bought an x3 live to record at home, using audacity. I've used the Boss me80 previously with good results but preferred the tones of the pod. Anyway, when I got to record (via usb) it records very low, almost inaudible, but during recording the levels sound great but once I play it back its super low. I've no idea why or how to fix it, any help would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillBee Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Its been forever since I've used Audacity but from what I read in your post it sounds like you need to increase the input signal going into the DAW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william1385 Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 How do I do that i have the volume full on the patch and the master volume controls the recording volume aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Make sure that you have configured Audacity to use the Pod X3 ASIO driver, not the default ASIO4ALL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillBee Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Its not the Pod's volume but the PC's input level you need to look for. Control Panel option for input? Also the mixer slider in the DAW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william1385 Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 I'll give the driver thing a try, I was using a boss me80 before this and I just plugged in USB and recorded on audacity no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Using the proper driver is important. Let us know if you are still having difficulties after installing it, or if you need help finding and installing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
