SETTING UP IN THE STUDIO: OUTPUTS
3 • 6
Please see your digital mixer/recorder documentation for information on
configuring its digital clock. The Line 6 technical support crew, though they
may be friendly, talented, and eager to please, won’t be able to instruct you
on how to configure your whole studio worth of new digital recording
equipment and tell you why it is that your digital audio program conflicts
with your financial management software. Nevertheless, there are a couple
handy tips that should allow you to incorporate your POD in an already-
configured studio, and here they are:
Generally, you’re gonna have one of two situations:
• Situation Number Uno – If your digital recorder/mixer has a clock
output – like on a Digidesign Pro Tools 888, a MOTU 2408, a Yamaha 02R
digital mixer, etc. – you will want to make it the clock master (generally
called something like “Internal Sync”), and set POD’s Digital Sync switch
to External. POD will then derive its sample rate from your recorder/
mixer, and output a digital signal perfectly synced to the rest of your
system, assuming the gods of digital sync have not picked today to mess
with you.
• Situation Number Dos – If your system doesn’t have a clock output –
like a Digidesign Audiomedia, Digi 001, Digital Audio Labs Card D, etc. –
you’ll set POD’s Digital Sync switch to 44.1 or 48 (not External), and
set your recorder to sync to its digital input (which is coming from POD).
Set your system to the same sample rate as POD (44.1 or 48) and you
should be happily making digital music.
If you hear a click-click-clicking when you try to make this happen, it
generally means POD is outputting a non-synced signal to your system. Time
to re-read the two paragraphs above, and then contact your recorder/mixer
manufacturer’s customer support staff if the situation persists. Also, don’t
forget to check that selector switch to make sure its properly set to output
either AES-EBU or S-PDIF.
