Audio Routing

When using the POD HD USB connection, the audio driver manages several tasks. The

driver feeds the processed guitar signal out the USB Record Send to your computer and

receives playback audio from the computer. It also grabs the processed guitar signal before

routing it to the Record Send, to provide a low latency monitor signal, and then mixes the

monitor signal with the playback audio and feeds this combined signal to your POD HD

analog outputs.

The POD HD 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 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 HD signal. The level of the signal fed to the Send is affected by

your POD HD 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.”
