Pod Farm Plug In - How To Monitor and Record at the Same Time (Sonar 7)

[alexchavesit]

to RCW3403:

That could be quite a few things, but in my experience it may be that your latency is too low, your computer's resources are being taxed (high cpu memory usage levels, or your recording quality bit depth is too high). I have a nice sound card and have to restart sonar every once in a while to get rid of it.

You may also want to try turning "input monitoring" button off, then on after a few seconds, sometimes the input monitoring gets stuck like this and needs to be "reset"

When i go to record i get a skipping sound.... Can anyone help?

[multisonus]

many thanks!

[multisonus]

Hey man, thanx a lot for making this tutorial first of all... second, no matter what I do, I can't seem to be able to eliminate the unprocessed sound... quite annoying to play with distortion and have a clean sound going along with it... Some help would be very welcome indeed!!!

[alexchavesit]

@multisonus Your welcome! Yeah your going to need to MUTE the Audio track's output, so it doesn't get out to your speakers, 1:10 in the above video gives you a note on it.

[multisonus]

@alexchavesit

doesn't work for me, i'm afraid... if i mute the channel's output it also kills the processed sound as well... thanks anyway though!

[alexchavesit]

@multisonus Sorry, I meant not to "mute" the track, but to send the "output" to NONE. This was the solution.

[Deathz0r94]

Any way to use the mic input in the soundcard for pod farm? lol I'm such a line 6 noob.

[alexchavesit]

@Deathz0r94 I've never tried it before, but I would think it would work but might sound wierd or add a lot of noise, I'm not sure.. experiment with it and get back to me.

[pptine]

cheers heaps for this dude!!!

any idea on doing the same in audtion3?

[alexchavesit]

@pptine Don't have much experience with Adobe's DAW, but if you can find the way to create an (effects) bus and then route it, you've down half the work already.

[pptine]

@alexchavesit i can create a bus track, and i can get it to recieve the wet output of my recorded tracks, though i can't hear it in real time.

i think i'm not understanding how to send the real-time/un recorded signal to the bus. any tips?

cheers

[alexchavesit]

@pptine Are you using Sonar as well?

After creating the effects bus and putting pod farm in that bus' effects bin, you have to go back to your recording track and "insert bus" the effects bus into that track. Now it will be sending the input of your sound card (guitar) into this track PLUS the effects bus holding pod farm.

Now checkbox "post" in the track and also turn on "input monitoring". Mute the track while recording if you don't want to hear your clean input going into your pc.

[rickymontero]

Thats Pretty cool dude...! Im trying to setup sonar on XP64 (More Ram usage) Do u know if there is a sonar version fully compatible with 64?

[alexchavesit]

@rickymontero Last I heard Sonar 8 64-bit edition was the latest one...

[YourGuitarPlace]

Thanks for the video. Gonna try this out later!

[zatori666]

I am having the same problem. Using Cubase as a DAW and just want POD Farm to allow me record and monitor simultaneously! I search from the web but still cannot get the answer..

[alexchavesit]

Yeah, it loves Ableton Live. I found a much easier way is just to use PodFarm standalone program with a toneport ux1 or ux2. Then go into cubase and set the input of a track to one of the toneport's inputs. You can even record dry and processed into 2 different tracks at once. If you've got another soundcard/interface with two 1/4" inputs, you can go out from the "analog outs" of it, to the inputs of your sound interface, and select the interface's ins in Cubase.

[TriviumCrusader17]

I cant even get it setup to even record!

[alexchavesit]

@zatori666 It should be pretty much the same thing in cubase, it just takes a basic understanding of effects buses, input monitoring and signal routing.
