Hello again. I kept looking for info on recording methods and found out about recording dry, or unprocessed guitar, to later on re amp with a VST plug in.

I'm using Cubase and I'd like to know how do I set it up to record the unprocessed signal that comes from my hardware (Pod X3 pedalboard).

I read about setting up the bus to one thing and another thing to another but I'm just new and didnt understand much.. so maybe someone that uses this software can help me out? I'd appreciate it :) Thanks.
 
It has nothing to do with cubase. Its how you set up the input signal. Your X3 does not have a bypass so recording a true dry signal is not possible. The best you can do is turn off all of the FX, amp sims etc..
 
Yup.

Sequencers record dry until YOU put in an effect.
(and it won't magically remove anything you have coming into the PC.)

You gotta dig into the X3 manual and turn everything off there.
 
I pretty sure the answers in this thread are going to be the same as the ones in the thread you started in the Cubase forum 2 days ago asking the same question. :p

Dry=unaffected signal. That's all there is to it.
 
You need a direct box.

1. Plug the guitar into the direct box

2. plug the xlr out of the direct box into a mic input on your interface

3. plug the through 1/4 output into the input of your pod

4. plug the output of the pod into your interface as normal

5. Record both the input channels

Once you have done that, you can route the dry signal back out of your computer and into the pod to add/change the sound.

The POD is his interface, that's the whole problem.
