I was looking for a USB sound card, versatile, including a power supply 48V possdant, modlisations of amps and multiple entries.
I tried it on two PCs for 4 years, including a laptop.
It is often used with a squenceur, and every day as bte sound card.
To date I have used the line inputs, instruments, and microphones (but not for ending for SPDIF).

UTILIZATION

Software: the drivers and amps are still modlisations update APRS four years (as compatible with the UX2, Line6 and other products). I got a variety of Tlcharger backtracks, drumloop, etc. .. sympatoche well.
Sound: I find really beautiful modlisation amps for guitars. For bass and vocals, I have not russi be completely filled. For DIFFERENT effects there is something to please everybody normally (de-esser, compressor, wah, reverb, eq, etc.), but the voice ... I feel like a ceiling. That said, the reverbs are fun.
Latency and operating gnral: the beginners, I t trs concerned about latency in cubase (> 20-30 ms, or if there are pops, if Reduces the size of the memory buffer). In fact, we do not care. Just use the direct monitoring Systm (the choice between what is meant as a monitor is done by soft line6), and the issue of latency does not arise when taking.
Mcanique: after four years there ... say anything. The appearance of the buttons is indniable plastic, but has UX8 plutt fire pace. It is quite difficult because of the dpoussirer granular appearance of metal. I remember taking the USB is quite ticklish. That's it for this: it's good for me.
Line to instruments: It's all good
Pramplis microphones: they are the major weakness of the UX8 must push them to have any background sound, and pousss background .... they blow. We must therefore look for the optimum rglage, a good compromise amplification / breath, a little frustrating.

OVERALL OPINION

In a word, I would say that UX8 is practical.
It is still save prt: piano / mic / guitar / bass. Squenceur I run, I choose the routing, and go. It is frankly a good bte, it does not move, once connate limitations.
The report quality price trs correct, because I had all the features I wanted in one box.
