Recording a Dry DI Track
For this example, we'll record guitar onto two DAW tracks simultaneously—one
capturing the processed tone and the other the unprocessed (dry) DI guitar.

1. Create two new audio tracks in your DAW software:
Create one mono track to record the dry DI guitar, and set the track's input
to POD Go USB 3 (or 4, doesn't matter).
Create one stereo track to record your full, stereo, processed tone and set
the track's input to POD Go USB 1/2.
2. Set both tracks' outputs, as well as the DAW Master output to
POD Go USB 1/2 to allow all tracks to play back through POD
Go.
NOTE: Setting the stereo track's output to POD Go USB 1/2 allows you
to hear your processed tone via POD Go's hardware monitoring while
recording. Forthis conguration, disablesoftware inputmonitoring on all
DAW tracks.
3. Arm both these DAW audio tracks, hit the Record button and
start playing.
Now you have your processed track to hear with the project, and a separate DI track
withwhichyoucanfurtherexperimentatanytimewithDAWplug-insand/orre-amping
(seethenextsection).
Re-amping Through POD Go
Now let's take the dry DI guitar track we recorded and route its playback back through
POD Go for processing.

1. From Edit view, turn the Upper Knob to select the Input block
and then turn the Lower Knob to choose "USB 3/4."
2. In your DAW software, set the DI track's output setting to POD
Go USB 3/4.
3. Create a new stereo track in your DAW project and set both its
input and output to USB 1/2. Arm the track for recording.
NOTE: In some DAW software it may be necessary to also activate the
software monitoring feature on this "re-amped" track to monitor the
processed signal when playing back your project. See your software's
documentation.
4. Now play your DAW project and you'll hear the DI track "re-
amped" through POD Go. Tweak your amp & eects blocks as
desired while listening with the playback of your project mix.
5. Once you have your re-amplied guitar tone they way you like
it, solo both the DI and re-amped tracks, rewind to the start
of the project and hit the DAW Record button, allowing it to
capture the signal into the new re-amped track in real-time.
Allow the DI track to play to the end, stop recording, and you've created your new re-
amped guitar track!
TIP: Note that you still have your original Guitar DI track, and you can repeat this
processtocreateadditionalre-ampedtrackswithdierentPODGosettings,
add plug-ins, blend with your original guitar track, and more.
