Glaurock Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 hello everyone, I'd like to know how to connect my pod 2.0 to my computer. I just bought a Pod and there are no cable. I want to load preset (from the line6 site) in my POD, so i need to connect it to my computer and use line6 monkey (right?). I don't have any sound card. Do i needto buy cable like these? http://www.amazon.fr/adaptateur-clavier-musical-ordinateur-portable/dp/B002MXP6YS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393519307&sr=8-1&keywords=Cable+midi+usb PS : i'm french, so sorry for the bad english.

Triryche Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Technically both of those cable are the same. However, many users have reported mix results the cheaper MIDI to USB cables. That is not to say they won't work. Line6 recomends M-Audio Uno http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/Uno/ Also, this is only for MIDI communication for editing and/or automating the POD 2.0. It will not send audio to your computer, for that you would need to run the analog outs or headphone out to your pc's line in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glaurock Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Thank you, i'll buy one of those M-audio cable. So, if i correctly understand, if i want to send audio to my computer (in order to record), i need to have a sound card and plug my headphone out?

Triryche Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Yes,. You can either use the Left and Right analog outs of the POD 2.0 to a stereo 1/8" jack (TRS) to your computer's Line In or the Headphone out to Line In. Chances are at minimum your computer has an integrated sound card already. Not necessarily the best for recording, but it is a start. What is your computer?

Triryche Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 It will likely have a Line in then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triryche Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 it may look something like this http://res1.windows.microsoft.com/resbox/en/windows%207/main/8440e487-7ae3-427b-a9b7-c861a5521758_69.jpg the red, blue, and green 1/8 are fairly universal.

Glaurock Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 Oh ok ! Did'nt understand. So, if i have a cable that plug jack from pod in the computer line in i can record with something like audacity. But i need 2 types of cables. Jack to 1/8 to record, and Midi to Usb to communicate. That's right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triryche Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 You do not absolutely need the USB to MIDI, but that will allow you to use Line6 Edit to edit your tones. You can also automate it with MIDI, but if you are just learning to record I wouldn't worry about the automation yet. To record if you use the headphone out you will need a TRS 1/4 cable and a TRS 1/4" to 1/8" to get stereo. Or 2 1/4" cable to one TRS 1/8" or to 1/4" with 1/8" TRS adopter.
