• The guitar amp, cabinet, and microphone don’t just sit in empty space. The room
that they are in contributes importantly to the guitar sound you will record.
Reverb can be used to capture the basic character of the space, simulating the
effect of the sound reflecting off the room’s walls, floors and ceiling. But there are
other subtle details that have more to do with the “spread” of the sound as it
passes through the air between the speaker and microphone. This final
component is the key to the sense that the listener is in one position in the room,
and the guitar sound is in another position, and that the two are separated by a
mass of air that sound spreads through to reach the listener.
All of these important sound-shaping components are accounted for in your
POD
XT Live. Stomp on the AMP foot switch to enable an amplifier emulation. You
can then press the second button under the POD
XT Live display while the EDIT
button is NOT lit, select the Amp Model of your choice, and POD
XT Live
automatically matches that amplifier with an appropriate cabinet and microphone
setup, and gives you the sound of that setup coming through the air of a recording
space. So you’re ready to start playing or recording with incredible mic’d up sound!
Press a button and twiddle a knob or two, and you can switch cabinets, change out
mics and their placement, and adjust the “spread” of the sound in your virtual room
as well.
The A.I.R. direct recording output is exclusive to Line 6. In combination with the
Line 6 Amp, Cab and Effect Models, it is an indispensable part of POD
XT Live’s
phenomenally satisfying sound.
And Away We Go....
So, now that you know what’s in store, it’s time to experience PODXT Live for
yourself. Grab your favorite axe, plug in, and flip back to the handy Quick Start
Guide on the first page of this chapter if you haven’t already been through that.
Then fold out the back cover and follow me, my friend, for the POD
XT Live Grand
Tour....
