How to Use POD HD500X EDIT as a real time Plugin!

[calojer]

Hi everybody,

I'm tryin' to reproduce a tone similar to one of my favourite records (Here's my post).

I'd like to be able to act in real-time to  the parameters and to the settings of the software POD HD500X EDIT.

Surelly It would make my attempt much more easier!

I can't Play 1000 times the same riff to get my goal.

 

So, to Do that I Have:

 

1) Logic Pro X (my DAW)

2) Motu MKIII ultralite Hybrid

3) POD HD500X

 

I've recorded the riff through the Motu Sound card and now I have a clean sound in my DAW.

I'd like to be able to play it looped in my Daw and send it to  my POD HD500X input.

I thought I would connect the speakers to the POD HD500X output and use the EDIT software in real time.

 

CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH THE RIGHT CONNECTIONS!

Thanks in advance!

I am not sure how you do it exactly in logic, but in most DAWs you would just set the output of the clean track to an ASIO output that maps to a 1/4 out on your Motu...connect that to the guitar input and that becomes your reamp output...I would suggest using the SPDIF to capture your clean track AND your reamp tracks as it would remove two conversions from your processing path...You just switch the track inputs in your DAW as you go. I have done this for years with my EMU 1820 with a lot of different gear...

You can use the onboard looper as well to record a riff and tweak your tone in realtime.

Should be much easier but you have to put the looper in pre position IMHO.

But you can play it 1000 times. That is how we achieve our goals.

 

 

Think of it this way ---

Dude walks up to you and says "Can I bum a smoke"

You give him a cigarette.

Then he says "Got a light?"

 

Do you want me to smoke the damn thing too?

As Smashcraaft said "Just use the built in looper".  That's what I do.  Actually for me that's about the only useful thing the PODHD looper does.
