Hd500 As An Audio Interface Recording Question

[zeissel]

Hello, I am quite pleased using the HD500 as an audio interface with a clean and blank setting (i.e. no amp,cab,mic, or fx models) just straight in so I can add my own vst plugins for recording. However, when I do, I hear both the "dry" guitar input sound coming from the HD500 and the "wet" sound coming through my vsts in my DAW with record monitoring enabled - both blended together. I have no latency problems whatsoever, so I would like to hear only the vst processed sound while recording. With other audio interfaces, you can change the mix where you only hear the sound coming from the DAW- I haven't found a way to do this with the HD500. Can anyone please help?

From the USB Audio section of the HD500 Advanced Guide:

 

Hardware Monitor Level: This slider independently controls the volume of your processed guitar tone output for monitoring (the signal fed to the device’s main outputs). It does not affect the level of the signal fed to your computer via the Record Send. This allows you to balance your guitar’s monitor level against the playback audio from your computer, such as when recording in DAW software.

 

If using POD HD500 as the audio interface for recording into a DAW application, then your DAW may also offer its own “software monitoring†function. You may want to use the DAW’s software monitoring in some scenarios, such as if you want to hear your guitar signal processed with plug-ins on the DAW track. When utilizing DAW software monitoring, you’ll want to set this slider’s level to minimum to allow you to hear only the DAW software monitoring signal.
