EricSVT18 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Hey guys, I for the life of me cannot get this to work. I have the POD connected to the computer via USB. I have my 2 monitors connected to the HD500 in the 1/4th in/out. When in Reaper, I hit record and the sound is still coming out of my monitors, but when I hit "stop" and try to play the recording back there is zero sound that comes from the monitors.

BigChas52 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Have you made sure that the HD500 is set as your playback device in Reaper, and that you have unmuted the track for playback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricSVT18 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Ok now I got that figured out but now I'm having another problem hahaha. When I record, it sounds like lollipop coming through the monitors like muddy and spacey sounding, but when I play the recording back it sounds clear and tight.

Make sure that you have the track muted when you record, and unmuted when you play it back :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I think you mean turn monitoring off and leave it off... (i think its the speaker icon in reaper on the track) anyway... sounds like the live playing is probably over top of the monitored/recorded track.... I've never had to mute/unmute, but perhaps chas is used to a different DAW than i am. Make sure that you have the track muted when you record, and unmuted when you play it back :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Make sure that you have the track muted when you record, and unmuted when you play it back :) Actually, you shouldn't have to worry about that in Reaper... It automatically mutes any track that's armed for recording. Do you (the original poster) have your monitors connected to the HD500? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricSVT18 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 I tried that and something is still messed up. This is really weird. Even when I'm not in reaper recording and just playing out of the monitors, the tone sounds like absolute lollipop. And now when I open HD500 Edit it says there's an error and it closes and stuff.

EricSVT18 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 yes my monitors are connected to the HD500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Could you be a little more descriptive of what "absolute lollipop" means? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I think Zap is probably correct. There's an option under the audio section of the properties window to turn off monitoring during recording. I'm not at my computer with Reaper on it at the moment, so I'm not sure where it's at exactly. But that sounds like the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricSVT18 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 holy hell, it's one thing after the other now. Now HD500 Edit won't work, so I redownload it, and then I try and update a couple things in Line 6 Monkey and it won't update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricSVT18 Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 I got the update to work, I unplugged it and waited a few minutes. but now i noticed something weird. When i unplugged the USB cable from the POD the tone coming out of the monitors sounded good again because even when I closed out Reaper the sound was bad. So after I unplugged the USB it sounded fine, plugged the USB back in and it sounded like crap again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjnette Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Could be your direct sound out of the HD is mixing with a monitoring version from your DAW which is out of phase and cancelling. Known a comb filtering. Sounds like you have to turn off monitoring from within the DAW so all you having coming back is already recorded tracks and or drum plugin.

phil_m Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 In Reaper, if you go to the track you're recording, and you hover over the red "arm" button for the track you want to record with your mouse, if you right click a menu will come up. It will give you a bunch of different options, but the first one is "Monitor Input". It should be unchecked. Actually, all of the first four options concerning monitoring should be unchecked. So, if any of them are checked on the track you want to record, click them to turn them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
