WarBeer Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Hi,...looking for more studio recording options and I have a few questions. With something like the POD HD Pro X...I'm assuming that all the processing is happening in the unit, so I should have "latency free" monitoring...correct? Concerning the software interface included...that would just allow me the ease of making changes to the unit from my computer...correct? In the past, when I've tried out the "computer dedicated versions" of stuff like this...I was always disappointed by the sounds, as I felt like the obvious latency was really a touch/tone killer. Is using a unit like this a noticeable improvement over "strictly software based" versions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Yes, latency free monitoring from the Helix POD HD outputs. The software, POD HD Edit, also supports setlist and preset backups. Yes, there is a noticeable improvement over ‘strictly software based’ audio processing. The POD HD is a dedicated special-purpose device and processes audio using its firmware which is baked into the hardware. The device is not running a general computer OS; it is optimized for doing its own audio processing and nothing else. This is much more efficient than running a software program on general purpose computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use EDIT to edit, and then close it. It is an editor, not a performance enhancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
