zimzaladim Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Yesterday I tried to connect my Pod HD500x to try recording for the first time. Have played with it plenty. I was surprised to find that while I have no delay playing through 1/4 to amp, I was experiencing latency from other outputs. I tried playing through the PC USB connection through connected PC speakers and found enough of a delay to make playing uncomfortable. Thinking it was the PC I tried directly from the headphone out to PC speakers and had the same delay. I tried removing the USB and using the headphone out to microphone in on the PC and still had the delay. 1/4 inch cables to amp were still fine. I can try a factory reset and see if it makes a difference. Any advice welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 As stated above, any latency experienced while connected to a computer is always an issue with the computer and/or software settings. It's got nothing to do with the POD. A factory reset won't help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to read that a few times to make sure I was reading it correctly.... USB Output to the PC has latency Headphone Output to MIC Input on the PC has latency NOTE: why didn't you expand this and try the headphone output to the amp input.... that would have had no latency 1/4" out to the AMP has no latency NOTE: why didn't you expand this and try the 1/4" output to the MIC input on the computer... that would have produced latency. I hate to sound like a broken record, but everything you run into your PC has latency.... it's the PC that has latency, not the HD. Furthermore... this is actually normal.

zimzaladim Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 Thanks for the input. I was able to adjust settings in the DAW to reduce the latency. It's not gone but it is manageable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
