Currently, we're recording guitars through the following chain by way of
1/4" analog connectors (except for that final step) :
Guitar => PODxt => Mackie 1402 => Gina External Box => Computer
I just learned that the PODxt can directly connect to the computer via USB.
Does either method really influence the resulting sound, or any artifacts
that might be found therein? Because I am finding that the sound we get
isn't very clear, and has a small whistling noise that we find quite
annoying. Would switching to direct USB help?
For what it's worth, the Echo Gina is a great card and the analog connectors
and wiring are all good quality and new.
I realize the best solution would be using an amp or double-tracking with
the POD and an amp... but an amp isn't an option right now for various
reasons.
