Pod HD500x Looping w/ 4 Instruments?

[mamaral]

Looking into getting an HD500x and am primarily interested in looping multiple instruments live and outputting to my PC. Here's a list of the gear I have available to me:

 

• Guitar
• Bass
• Korg Electric Piano (has stereo guitar out as well as midi)
• Roland TD17 V-Drums
• PreSonus Audiobox Interface
• Behringer 12-channel mixer with USB output

 

With all of that in mind - is there a viable setup where I could loop all of these instruments live with the HD500x, with it sounding good while outputting to my PC?

Well, my guess is the presonus is just a 2 channel interface, so that won't really work...I am not sure which Behringer mixer you have, but likely that would make the most sense to connect to the PC as your audio interface even if it is only 2 track. You 4 cable the HD500 into the mixer using an aux bus...basically that means send an aux to guitar input and return the LR main outs to 2 channels in the mixer. plug your guitar, bass, piano and Vdrums into the mixer directly...To use the POD for guitar you would take the channel out of mix and use the aux send to drive the input of the POD...when playing bass, do the same thing...You can even use it for FX on your piano and Vdrums. Having the guitar and bass dry in channels would also allow you to record guitar dry...It all really depends on if the Behringer can be used as an audio interface or not and if it can capture tracks....Anyway, seems doable with what you have...You could output the mixer to the Presonus...If the presonus have more than two inputs, then that might be a better approach...use addition aux send(s) from the mixer to feed track inputs...It's kinda old school, but it make changing things around pretty simple.
