Connecting Line 6 Hardware to your Preferred Audio Device
If you want to use GearBox and your Line 6 device in a computer recording setup where a sound card
already exists, then you might find it useful to connect your Analog Outs into the analog inputs of the
existing sound card. This allows you to use the existing sound card with your recording application to
also receive additional discrete inputs directly from other sources at the same time, if this is your desired
setup. When your Line 6 device is connected to another sound card this way, then you will want to be
sure your recording software is set to use the other sound card as its input device for recording. In this
configuration, since your Line 6 device is not in use by an audio application as a sound card, its Analog
Out signal is what is being recorded, and therefore, levels are controlled by the GearBox Monitor level
and hardware Output knob.
