POD XT PRO Digital Reamping
I'm having trouble reamping digitally via spdif. I can accomplish the task analogally , but would like to keep the signal digital.
Could someone please walk me through this?

Re: POD XT PRO Digital Reamping
Does the POD have s/pdif in??? Would have thought it was an output only.

Re: POD XT PRO Digital Reamping
Hi!
Did you examine the POD manual? I used to have the old POD Pro and it was thoroughly described how to make re-amping with Pro Tools work. Otherwise, make sure you decide what unit is the clock master, i.e PT LE or POD - and make sure each unit is configured as master and slave. Then connect S/PDIF in/out and make the connections in the PT LE I/O-settings and assign inputs, outputs,busses or what you need. Make audio and/or aux track utilize these POD I/Os. Not as extensive as in earlier manuals but: Section 3 -16 in PODxt Manual - Version 2 - English.pdf Digital Re-amping In this scenario, we’re going to track PODXT Pro’s analog outputs, while also recording a “safety” track of dry guitar digitally, so the dry guitar can be used later if you need to make a tone change. Connect your guitar to the Guitar In jack on the front of the PODXT Pro. Connect PODXT Pro’s left and right Analog Outs to your audio system so you can record them while you are also listening to what’s coming out of them. Play a little guitar. Hear it? OK so far. Press the I/O & DIG SELECT button once to see this page if it’s not already shown: Press the Soft Button below INPUT and spin the EFFECT TWEAK knob to choose GUITAR IN. Select DRYGTR for the MODE option. Connect PODXT Pro’s AES/EBU or S/PDIF digital outputs to your recorder. Do not monitor this signal while recording— you’re simply “saving it for a rainy day” so that you can “fix it in the mix.” Also, be sure GAIN is set to +0dB; adding gain to get a hotter signal to your record track won’t improve signal to noise ratio or any other aspect of audio quality, and will cause problems when you actually attempt to use this signal later for re-amping, so take our advice: don’t do it! Now, the idea is to record the main analog outputs to your recorder, while the dry guitar is also being recorded on a separate track. Monitoring the processed guitar signal and punching in/out works exactly as you would expect it to if you were recording any other analog signal into your recording app/device. The bonus here is that you also have a digitally recorded unprocessed guitar signal that can be used to create a new (or additional) sound that you can use later. Speaking of which... FEATURE FOCUS 26 14 GETTING SET UP • Re-Amping with PODxt Pro 3 • 17 When you want to make use of that digitally recorded dry guitar signal, send it out of your recorder to one of PODXT Pro’s digital inputs, and select that INPUT as AES LEFT has been selected here: Don’t change (increase or decrease) the playback level of the dry guitar track; send it out to PODXT Pro at exactly the same level it was recorded at. Then connect PODxt Pro’s analog or digital outputs to your recorder, and you record processed guitar sound while making whatever tone changes best fit the needs of your final production. Cheers, // J

Re: POD XT PRO Digital Reamping
Thanks for the reply Phobia. Yes I have gone through the manual several times but I stil can't get it. As I stated above, I can do it the ole' fashion way via the analog ins and outs, but still no luck digitally.
I'm sure it's just a tiny detail that I am overlooking.
