This circumvents the Tascam altogether. Once you have your guitar tracks recorded, then you can remove the XT as the audio I/O device and use the Tascam for all of your other stuff.

With your method right now, you are converting A/D inside the Pod, then converting D/A at the pod into the Tascam, then A/D again in the Tascam. There's no need to do this as the XT is an interface all by itself.

If you don't want to do this, then you should be looking for an input V/U type applet for the Tascam, or inside of the PG product you are using that is pointing the the analog inputs of the Tascam.





What he said. smile



From the manual:

" USB - PODXT’s USB jack lets you connect it directly to most computers, and
record your PODXT directly to a wide variety of popular recording software. We’ve included a USB cable for use with our GuitarPort Windows software, Line 6 Edit software for Mac OS X and Windows, our ToneTransfer online tone library, and PODXT driver software. All this software—along with directions for using it—is free foryou to download at www.line6.com."



You should also study gain staging, but that's not your immediate problem. Lose the Tascam. Go straight from the Pod into RB.
