The POD HD500 Record Send
As shown above, the Record Send is the virtual “pipeline” that carries your POD HD-
processed, 24-bit digital signal across the USB connection, making it available to your
audio software as an input signal for recording.
The POD HD500 Record Send appears as an available audio input/recording device
within your audio software.
Simply select this Send as the input for your audio track and
you’ll be able to record your POD HD500 signal. The level of the signal fed to the Send is
affected by your POD HD500 controls: Mixer block Volume A & B, Amp Model Drive &
Volume, FX Model Gain controls, Volume Pedal, etc., (but
not the Master Volume knob).
For the best recording quality, watch the input meters provided in your software and adjust
your level to be at least halfway up, but never “clipping.”
Note that the type of audio signal fed to the Record Sends is controlled by the
Output
Mode
setting found in the
POD HD500 Setup:Outputs
screen. For most USB recording
situations, you’ll likely want to set this to “Studio/Direct.” Please see
for more info.
