Does the PODxt come w/ recording software?

[Closed Eye]

I know the POD 2.0 comes with that Emagic Soundriver disc, but does the PODxt come with the same software?

Also, which one would you invest in? The POD 2.0? The PODxt? I know one is it's own thing and the other is based on the Vetta series, but what's the real difference? Is one better than the other? Can I record with both on the computer without buying any additional software?

A lot of questions, yes, and I apologize, but I gotsta know!

The POD XT has more parameters you can alter, such as mike placement, mic type (I think) and more, plus a whole different set of amp models altogether.

I think PODxt is a much more comprehensive system to use if you want amp modelling and crap. Don't know if it comes with software...Line6.com

Soundiver is not recording software. It only allows you to manage and edit tone parameters. The new version uses the new Line 6 Edit software, which is free and supported by Line 6 now. The PODxt version 2.0 is much much more comprehensive over the old POD 2, in capability and sound.

As far as recording software, you can get some pretty cheap or free alternatives that do limited recording from the web. Cool Edit is one or nTrack from FASoft.
