The primary use would be recording. I guess what I need is to understand how it works with the DAW (Pro Tools 10.3.9) and what settings / adjustments need to be made for the 11R & the POD HD Pro X. I never use the POD HD Pro X because it sounds sterile. If IR's could help in that area, it would be nice to use the POD every once in awhile. Right now, it's a $700 rack mounted paper weight.
