a tab named Device Manager. Select your CD here and navigate to an option to enable digital audio playback of the CD (if this option is provided), and you will now be able to playback audio from your computer’s CD drive in any program, and hear it coming out of your Line 6 device. If your CD doesn’t support digital playback, you could also get around this by connecting the audio output from your computer to the Monitor In (or Aux In) jack of your Line 6 device.

What is Re-Amping

Re-amping is the process by which you can record a completely dry unprocessed signal to your digital recorder/computer, while monitoring an amp/fx processed tone, and then route the recorded dry audio back through an amp to apply this sound on the track later. The PODxt family of products features digital re-amping thru the USB output, allowing you to basically record dry audio and then later on run the audio back through PODxt to apply your desired Tone to it. This process is covered in detail in the PODxt Audio Signal Routing section of the Hardware chapter.

Note that for all Line 6 USB devices you can alternatively use the GearBox Plug-InAdd-On to provide the same “non-destructive” benefits within your recording software! Please check out the GearBox Plug-In chapter, or the Line 6 web site for more info.

What is a Record Send?

A Record Send is a signal routing mechanism utilized in audio hardware and software mixing systems which allow specific input signal to be mixed together or processed and then made available to the recording inputs in your audio recording software. You can think of a Send as a “virtual” audio cable that carries a signal between your audio hardware device, GearBox and other applications. GearBox provides stereo Record Sends that are accessible within the GearBox software, as well as from the Line 6 Audio-MIDI Devices dialog. These Record Sends are able to carry whatever signal(s) you input into your Line 6 device and route them to the Audio Driver so that they are available in digital form for your audio recording software. Your recording software can then choose the GearBox Sends as mono or stereo inputs for recording into tracks.

The number of Record Sends available in GearBox depends upon the Line 6 device in use – PODxt devices have one stereo Send, POD X3 has 4 stereo Sends, TonePort & GuitarPort devices have two stereo Sends, and TonePort UX8 is the grand device that offers 6 stereo Sends. All Sends show up as inputs in your recording software when accessing your Line 6 device using its ASIO driver on Windows, or Core Audio driver on Mac.

Additional information is provided in the Recording Setup Guide on the GearBox - User Manuals section of the Line 6 web site.
