POD Farm 2 Advanced User Guide – Using Your Line 6 Hardware

2•15

Monitor In - If you want to hear the signal from a line level source mixed with all the other audio

coming from your computer, but do not want this audio recorded, plug the source in here. Note that

this is a stereo jack, so you should use a stereo 1/8-inch tipped stereo audio cable for this connection.

You’ll hear any audio coming into this jack via the Analog Line Outs and Phones, but it won’t be fed

to the GuitarPort Record Sends.

USB - This is where you connect the supplied USB cable to GuitarPort, with the other end going to

your computer’s USB 1.1 or 2.0 port.

POD X3 Family Devices

If you own a POD X3, POD X3 Live or POD X3 Pro, then you can also reap the benets of POD Farm 2

Plug-In! You can also utilize any POD X3 device as a high performance sound card for your Windows

or Mac

computer, allowing you to record all those groovy POD X3 Tones, or even dry input signals,

directly into your audio recording software. POD X3 devices offer four stereo Record Sends, which

carry the following signals:

• Record Send 1-2: Main Out (Studio/Direct Mix)

• Record Send 3-4: Tone 1 Only

• Record Send 5-6: Tone 2 Only

• Record Send 7-8: Tone 1 Inputs Dry (on Send 7) and Tone 2 Inputs Dry (on Send 8)

POD Farm 2 does not function in standalone operation with POD X3 family devices. Since all processing

is done on your POD X3 hardware itself, you can call up your POD X3 tones and adjust settings on the

device itself to feed whatever signal you want out the Record Sends for use with your DAW software! A

license for POD Farm 2 Plug-In is available as an Add-On for POD X3 devices - please see the Line 6

Online Store

for purchase options!

To control the Monitor level of POD X3 independently of the Record Send levels, use the Monitor

Level slider in the Inputs & Recording tab in the Line 6 Audio-MIDI Devices dialog on you computer

(found in the System Preferences on Mac

, and in the Control Panel on Windows

Note - be sure to always power off or mute your speakers or monitoring setup before connecting/

disconnecting the USB cable and powering on/off POD X3, as well as before booting up or shutting down

your computer if POD X3 is already connected. The best practice is to always power on your speakers last,

and power them off ﬁrst when connected to other audio gear to avoid a “pop.”
