HEY FELLOW SOFTIES!
I've FINALLY gotten my gear! And they are as follows:
Line 6 Pod Studio UX2
Audio Technica AT2035 Condenser Mic
Mic Stand + Pop filter
Beats Solo HD Headphones (with 3.5mm stereo heads, i.e. with 2 black lines right?)
Some existing mono guitar cables (i.e. with only 1 black line, right?)
Converter (male 3.5mm stereo, female 1/4")
My Pod Studio comes with the following softwares:
POD Farm 2
Ableton Live Lite
Riffworks
Reason Adapted 4 (Line 6 Edition)
I tried setting it up with my ASUS K43SV laptop, but I ran into some problems, and have spent the last 2 days trying to figure out the stuff, but every minute seems to make me more and more confused >.<
These are my problems:
1. When I plug in my Pod Studio, for some reason I cannot use the laptop speakers for its output.
It seems like the only way for me to hear myself would be to plug in my headphones (headphones > 3.5mm - 1/4" converter > 1/4" mono guitar cable > UX2). That however, presents another 2 problems.
2. During RECORDING, the sound comes out from the laptop speakers. However, during PLAYBACK, the sound comes out from the headphones. ALSO, the sound is only coming out from the left side of the headphones (although its playing both left & right side sounds).
3. During recording, it sounds very soft for both mic and instrument inputs. For the mic input, it only becomes louder when I turn up the Mic Gain knob past the midway point.
4. I'm not exactly sure how does the POD Farm work, but somehow, i can only activate any 2 out of the 4 available inputs (2 mic, 2 instrument) via the Line 6 Settings thingy on the control panel.
I tried the above with Audacity, if that helps. I've read some of the user manuals provided by the Line 6 website but i'm still pretty clueless about this whole thing.
Would anyone be able to shed some light here?? I'm pretty desperate to get it up and running!!
