does mixcraft work with the line 6 pod studio series??

[acoustica222]

@leggie7 Sure, many people in our forums use the pods. You could stop in there and ask some current users what they think.

Yeah..

But can you play 'smoke on the water'

Uh-huh, yeah see.

[acoustica222]

@p9012 lol

Great job, man! I like your no-nonsense attitude about the bleeding when recording. I completely agree.

[acoustica222]

@favoritefella Thanks, yeah it's never been an issue in my studio. I don;t think it's that big of a problem as people make it out to be....in certain situations that is.

@indgiu bleeding is when the sound from one track can be heard on another one :)

Im new at this stuff and have been trying to figure out how to set Mixcraft up to accept 2 mics coming from a 10 band Yamaha mixer. Im using a shure sm 57 and a shure sm 58, the tracks on the screen will not let me use 2 mics at once?

Im close micing my amp with the 57 and im using the 58 as a room mic,what do you think Im doing wrong?

[indgiu]

what is "bleeding"?

[JimijaymesGuitarist]

Not sure the reason but in all your videos when you play back tracks they are in mono and sound very bass light so when you add some pseudo stereo it just sounds like out of phase clangy guitar signal not two stereo signals. Otherwise great help especially for beginners who cant afford nice gear.

@leggie7 - I use a Pod UX2 with PodFarm with Mixcraft and it works great!

[LoudSoda]

Can you make a video about recording two guitars

[kendarlyrel]

@acoustica222 microphone or direct box whats best for recording guitar

Thanks for all video tutorials. I've been using mixcraft for just about 4 years now and picked up on the basics right away. Now that I was going more in depth with my recordings these tutorials have been a lifesaver. I'm looking into making audio production a permanent career after learning from this program. Thank you again for such a easy to use software
