A soundcard is the piece of hardware in (or attached to) your computer that plays back and
receives sound into the computer for recording or other uses. Line 6 TonePort, GuitarPort and
PODxt devices all operates as USB soundcards, since they utilize high performance audio drivers
and can be accessed by most any audio software on your Mac or Windows computer for quality
audio recording and playback. Additional information is provided in the Recording Setup Guide
on the

GearBox Online Help

section of the Line 6 web site.
