bsmith55 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 I'm brand new at home recording, so please, be patient with me. I've been asked to record some guitar and sax tracks into Band Lab, and I haven't the slightest idea of what I need to do so. I have an older laptop running Windows 7. I have a POD HD500, into which I guess I can run both my guitar and a microphone for the sax. Will the HD500 serve as the AI, or do I need to buy an external one?

silverhead Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 The HD500 can serve as the AI - just connect it via USB to your PC. Use Cakewalk by Bandlab as your recording program. You will need to download and install the Line 6 driver for the HD500 (see Downloads button at the top of this page). Cakewalk should automatically recognize the Hd500 and its ASIO driver for audio purposes but you may need to configure this manually. After creating an audio track in Cakewalk and arming it for recording you need to select the Record Input source which can vary depending on your HD500 preset configuration. See the HD500 manual for the available options. As a starting point consider this preset which I designed years ago for simultaneous electric guitar and vocals recording. I know you wont’t be playing guitar and sax simultaneously but by understanding how this preset is configured you will be well on the way to understanding how to customize it or create others appropriately. https://line6.com/customtone/tone/215659/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
