All user reviews for the Line 6 POD Studio UX2

I was looking for stuff to record, this POD seemed the right choice qualitprix level.
I play guitar and bass often I plug directly to POD. I happen to plug my volume pedal or HT-Dual in Emulated Output which allows for Pramp lamp.
There have also arrived to use it for singing, no problems this level l either.


USE

Pretty simple, close other music software before connecting and launch its Bardas. Pod Farm is very practical and very easy to use. I did not have to specially set date but the software does not seem to ncessiter.
A rule of thumb is to be able to record 3 tracks at the same time via both among and between micro guitar. Maybe even with between four Pad but I've never tried recording alone or instruments after instruments.
Not specially latency, this is adjustable according to the power of the computer (less latency = more CPU), nevertheless I have not a racing beast and I have no worries.
Comes with Ableton Lite, Reason Adapted 4, both amputs functions but simply record Ableton.

IMPLEMENTATION

No problems for the installation if you do not plug the UX2 before starting the drive. No incompatibility despite the passage of Vista 7. No manual read, I do not think there was.
The Line6 site does not seem to me to be franais is perhaps one of the defects.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I use it for more than a year Introduced.
I like simple and convenient ct the beast. The effect mulations serve me a lot, especially anything Delay, Reverb, Noise Gate, Chorus, Tremolo, etc. I have quite used the amp sim and distos at the beginning, but I do it less and less, I pass by the HT-Dual mule that gives me a much better grain as lamp. Sometimes I select a Pramp over to color the sound.
The price quality ratio is good, the object is solid and well made.
With the experience I would perhaps not go that choice to invest in effects pedals and buy an audio interface to any beast to record with a live hardware. Despite all the beast is of good quality and if you're the kind to play alone in his room is perfect rather than to lug effects.

what else to say about the features if it is provided with what it takes to record guitar, bass, voice
2 XLR inputs (phantom power please), two jack inputs with active instruments for it seems to me,
a USB port, a SPDIF jack and headphone jack
the choice of entries is in the virtual mixer Podfarm
BOSS GS10 to my excellent passed away after the cat will be relieved it!
So I needed a similar product but considering the price of the Boss at the time (500 euros anyway) and that of the 6 line I thought I had to deal with a gadget more for what I stand corrected heavily

UTILIZATION

I use the UX2 with cubase and the driver didn 'never fails no re-installation as a PCI card that I also have and I will not mention the name
latency is low in contrast board, throw an occasional glance at the VU meters (which are very convenient for that matter) was quick to climb the towers
I have swung a couple of tracks for a bounce and he kept all its clarity
the design of the machine is very successful single buttons and lightness of all are a little cheap

GETTING STARTED

Installation is no problem I have an XP but you need an internet connection to enjoy the Podfarm
Software is not resource hungry, I can make it work with an audio editor and Nuendo together launched and it 's no no crash yet I do not have a racing while being USB2
I never used the UX2 to record one or more tracks simultaneously because I have a table for firewire recording everything
the Podfarm is simple enough to use only annoying downside: some simulations Amp absent if the software is not complete
For my part, I also use the gearbox software

OVERALL OPINION

I am a single home-studio owner, I have the UX2 for almost a year and I can not compare with the 10 GS I owned
latency is already lower than the GS10
sound higher color more potato least aigrelets, patches and other simulations are convincing but the effects for bass and vocals seem a bit neglected (that is unfortunately the case with most multi-effects) apart a patch that makes it sound like a bass Rickenbaker
compared to GS10 lacks the slow gear which cut attacks automatically (like PDAL steel but can be compensated with a volume pedal) and feadback effect simulating the feedback to this memorandum which gave a devastating effect for solos but otherwise it has nothing to envy
I recently made the vocals sound with a singer and even if it does not transcend it can fill a sound recording on the fly until something better
but the more I think it is the bounce
I was previously on a PCI card that seemed fine but when I have switched to the UX2 I redid all the mixes of my songs with this card
sound even with many tracks is clear I can lower the sound track and it is still distinctly audible in the master, the bass is well defined without absorbing any
looking back I wonder how I have managed without
considering the price it's almost given for a map of this level
the distinction which I love the most it's versatility, clarity and Podfarm which is very successful
the less they are simulations of missing amp in some patches, you need an internet connection to activate the software, the interface lacks noon, as I have been able to perceive in the model that I have a low level between the left and right channel but nothing that is handicapping for normal use
although honestly do not have it, if you need a multi-effects and a sound card without the tantrums your banker does not go beyond that is the Swiss Army knife of the musician you need

OVERALL OPINION

This map is leaking, simply because it is unstable. When you find the sound that suits you and that after 2 or 3 minutes, your guitar sound is interspersed with uncontrolled crunches, you want to throw everything out the window. This is all the more pernicious as it is not systematic. Setting the latency and not in question, because of course tested.
The case looks like a plastic wrapper so it does not breathe component quality. Finally, the offer included a very interesting soft "Gearbox" with a perfect concept for beginners. Line 6 has abandoned along the way (in favor of Podfarm) and left us like two round flan ...
It is better to buy more rarely take time but buy quality material (see the many different opinions on the forum to get an accurate idea)

Guitarist living in an apartment, I was looking for a way to record my guitar without having to go through the amp. The microphone inputs are for me to record a song.

I use a sony vaio, i5 dual core 2.27ghz, 4gb ram, windows 7 64bit.
I use reaper in daw.
I used the ux2 with esp eclipse, and rode a NT1A sm57.
In monitoring, I have deluxe BX8a.

UTILIZATION

The drivers are not updated for over a year. My ux2 jumps regularly. Conflict with the wireless card, crunches. I regularly have to restart the computer to reset the card, because it comes back more after re-connection when a bug.
Regarding latency, with pod farm there is virtually no. With Guitar Rig, must be reduced a little buffer, or use asio for all.
It should not be used to listen to music or play a game and enjoy its monitoring speakers: this train, this bug, it cracks.
I read a couple of tracks simultaneously, but I had at the time no musical project necessarily going beyond. I never tested the simultaneous recording.
on the other hand for recording microphones (I have a sm57 and a rode NT1A) must push the gain knobs virtually background. I sometimes even replaying a virtual pre amp to boost the signal. Is this specific to my model getting tired?

GETTING STARTED

The installation was no problem, following the instructions.
I have not met incompatibility.
I had trouble using it. The pod farm software is very intuitive.

OVERALL OPINION

I used this card for three years. Purchased used, it begins to show signs of major weakness. The knobs are very cheaps and crack regularly. I do not regret my choice at the time.
I love its ease of use, numerous connectors, low latency.
I do not like his lack of stability, plastoc side not very reassuring, low pre-amp XLR inputs.
I find it still a bit expensive compared to other current cards (although there are also software with pod farm).

The Line 6 POD Studio Ux2 is an interface that we used to record guitar tracks with a few times. The thing that I loved about it more was the plug ins that came with it. The “Farm” plug in included 18 guitar amps, 5 bass amps, 5 bass cabs, 29 different stomp box effects and 6 mic premaps. I still use all of these plug ins to this day even though I do not use the actual interface much anymore. When I purchased it, it also came with a another pack that had about 40 more effects and filters to use and I felt like that was well worth the money to spend on this small little interface.

UTILIZATION

This interface is very simple and easy to use/set up. There are 2 ¼ inch guitar inputs and ¼ inch line inputs. There are balanced XLR inputs with microphone preamps and phantom power. It comes with Ableton Live Lite Studio Edition which will only let you record up to 16 tracks which may be enough if you are a beginner.

GETTING STARTED

If you are low on money and need an interface to record your guitar tracks with, this is the way to go. You will also get some really good effects and plug ins that you will use for ever. There have been a few driver updates over the years that they have made as well for Windows 7 users and anyone who is using Snow Leopard on a Mac. So it is basically compatible with any system you have right now unless you are on a very new system especially something like Windows 8.

OVERALL OPINION

This system is a must have, you will get some very good sound quality for a low price and a bunch of other cool effects and plug ins too. If you are more advanced I would not recommend this because you will want something a little more stable and in depth.

My PC is old enough, I have a few bugs that I don not equate necessarily line 6 or the supplied software (line6 reason, cubase lite, and RiffWorks T4 pod farm) no latency c is the characteristic line 6!

I have not yet conducted recording guitar but just play with reason to create a drum groove. And it works well ... I think a reason to pass comprehensive as 6.5. J've tested the microphone and singing c is also excellent because there are sound line 6!

GETTING STARTED

RAS for installation.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this card for 7 years and I'm about to change. I think therefore have a more objective opinion today as when I bought it and I had stars in their eyes.

At the time (being a student) my choice was guided by my budget. Paid around 190 € new stars in music, the compromise price / functionality seemed that there was more interesting market to save my models and compositions.


For negative:
-The plastic pots are really cheap
-Fragile! The hood of my pc which lay beside her and fell on crashed (blinking red LED, it will not work again), I had to call for service that I did an exchange for a new one. RAS over there everything went well.
IT black spot is the PRE which are really bland (no shine). B2Pro used with a Blue Spark and SM57. The last quarter of the gain can not be used because the wind is too strong. When we know that the gain is 40db bottom is not great (do not even use a ribbon mic).
No-noon (I had to buy an M-Audio One to connect a keyboard)
-Some modules PodFarm are very far from reality (I think among other their "copy" of the LA-2A is a vast hoax). But overall it is a good starting point for those looking to explore the effects of different studio without breaking the bank.

Despite all that I would recommend to a beginner UX2 computer music with small needs.

Originally I took to replace my X3 live to keep only the USB part (I went to all analog pedalboard). At the same time I wanted to keep the elbow in POD Farm plugins.
I plug my preamp output lamp emulated on the entry line and I have monitor speakers to the outputs ... monitoring. Simple and effective.

UTILIZATION

Use in Reaper 4 (which by the way is a small bomb) is simple and intuitive, a new track is added VST FX, a full instance of POD Farm, a category (amps, modulation, dynamic ...). After some trial and error, the automation of effects parameters is quite simple. Overall, side effects quality is Line6 spitting image. Some effects are very successful (reverbs, delays, chorus ...) and will sound very professional, others less (simuls hp unequal Univibe ...) and some anecdotal or very nazes (filters, synths). What I enjoy most is being able chaining in any order of POD Farm effects on any audio source: guitar, bass, drums, mp3 ... So creativity up a notch, put a plexi simultaneously with 4x12 cab and a big compressor outlet on a drum set a little soft sometimes gives very interesting results ... Unlike the X3 live, the usefulness of dual tone seems to me less clear since it seeks rather to overload the least sound.

GETTING STARTED

The installation was done very quickly, must say I had already, Monkey, POD Farm, drivers ... I had, however, much more stability concerns with my X3 live (his loss, latency too high, crashes and reinstalling drivers and firmware ...). I even had to change the BIOS settings on my PC (thank you knowledge base on the Line6 site). After several hours of splashing and making my head, I ended up getting a config stable, with a slight lag but bearable.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month, but I am four years behind me ... Line 6 It is a pretty well thought e interface, not the best in its class but still well placed, its great strength is the POD Farm.
Its defects? No external power supply, and precisely, only works with POD Farm (in fact I wanted standalone mode just to play quietly with headphones with the sound of my fabulous little preamp AMT without the PC on).

And eagerly awaits the blow POD Farm HD ...

Equipped with two XLR inputs channel, two input instrumentals, 2 analog outputs, 1 USB, 1 SPDIF in and monitor.

UTILIZATION

The UX2 is the perfect tool for a guitarist / singer who desire good level recorded over these beautiful creations, the use is simple and intuitive for some hardware and software (POD Farm).

GETTING STARTED

Installation is simple and fast depending on your internet connection. Once everything is installed and to date there's more trendy and go for long hours of recording. POD Farm software is easy to use and offers plenty of opportunity even in its standard version you'll find your happiness. Coupling with a computer music software such as Cubase, Reason and others is simple when we used to do this kind of setting. Latency is almost innexistante (when I say almost is because there has always understood but not e) The software is not greedy and is ideal for current configurations.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall this product is right for me, and should probably other musicians wishing to start recording and who wants to invest in a home studio. This product is not so expensive for the benefits it provides, it is more convenient to play the big sn quietly entered through his box of very good quality. I highly recommend it!

No, I would take it with MIDI input

I have had little trouble with my UX2; after upgrading from version 1 most issues just involve a restart of the computer. After messing with it for a couple of days to familiarize myself with the controls and sounds, I have been using it to record guitars/keys/bass/ and vocals on my iMac/garageband. I've been sending my recordings to fellow musicians and they are totally blown away at how good they sound. I have a friend who is a professional studio engineer and musician, and he was really impressed with the tones I was getting on my guitar through the UX1 and Gearbox. Gearbox is literally infinite in the permutations of amps/cabinets/effects/etc. that one has control over. I'm having too much fun to write anymore. Highly recommended for the budget-minded. Or anyone who just records one instrument at a time. It runs great and only had some minor issues with it loading up, but no crashes for freezes which is always a good thing. Especially when your on a mac, or maybe it doesn’t freeze because im on a mac, if I was on my pc with vista it would probably have all types of problems.

GETTING STARTED

Getting started was pretty quick and easy not much too it. Very good clear manual too.


OVERALL OPINION

Overall, This is the interface you need if you are on a budget, but need something that sounds pro. I use it with ezdrummer & the included 8 track software. The effects for guitar are endless, & The thing is just plain easy to use & install. This is the BEST interface in this price range. I am 90 % happy with it. The ONLY drawback is no phantom power on the mic. jack....However, If you are using a Sure SM-57 like I am, you can get great results plain & simple. Order one today!!

I chose this because I needed the UX2 good sound card for use in mobile homestudio

My tascam 2488 is being repaired, I decided to switch to the recording on Sonar 8 ... with a PC that does not last cries, I needed a good sound card ...

Why UX2? for its extensive powers of connection: jy connects all! scratches, bass, synth, vocal microphone ...

the big capital gain, which decided my choice: the software PODFARM! but I will detail below ...

The look is black class, although I would have preferred a metal case instead of plastic ...

against black spot by: NO MIDI IN / OUT!

8 / 10 because of the South ...

UTILIZATION

A) you have to find a computer with internet at least to activate the product if it ko! So I took my UX2 to enable it to work (because no connection at home)

b) when activated, copy specific files on a USB key to put them back home to make it work ...

I have good gallery a bit to find it all (because quibble is the site of line 6 to find the info ...)

c) once installed, it works nickel!

8 / 10

GETTING STARTED

Drivers hyper stable latency ZERO!

I've tested so far that the recording of two tracks simultaneously (but apparently you can go up to 6?)

I use it with Sonar 8 I also discovered ... within 5 minutes everything was perfectly set up and operational

10/10

OVERALL OPINION

And the sound?? I use a Rocktron Prophesy live 2 which gives me satisfaction, I was disappointed with the Vetta 2 so I had some appréention ... and there's no good to say Line 6 has really improved:

it's just amazing what you can do with the software pod farm! super intuitive, and sounds really top that can be very quickly and easily (without going into tons of submenus ...)!

We talk too few votes, but the effects are top notch! and for the rest (bass, guitar), the possibilities are really huge ... and really fun to watch.

I will remake this choice without hesitation!

edit: here is a video recorded with the UX2 & podfarm:

Matos concern:
An electric guitar Yamaha EG 112C
Low lctrique Storm PB100 sometimes with pedals Ibanez PD7 for a little boost

Usage wish:
Save my guitaristic composed with a good sound and no latency, APRS and the future purchase of a good mic recording scratches folk, harmonica, mlodica, percussion and digeridoo. Even if I am considering buying a USB keyboard matre, the abscence of Midi port does not impede me.
I chose the UX2 because it was exactly what I wanted, there was good advice on AF and log Pod farm looked really excellent.
Well I'm not!

Finish level 175euros I expected a cheap plastic well in the end I sit down on it but not like the road, and it's pretty to look plutt. I feel that the entries are just jack-level width for my Planet Waves cable which is pretty stout, sometimes it is reluctant to return. Ct s of this we can say that there is no game or loose connection ...
As against this bad there have not input for expression pedals.

UTILIZATION

Premire is my audio interface, while the absence of manual surprised me (especially since it is not a product intended to express pros)
Anyway installation is simple and everything works IMMEDIATE nickel.

Activation by Internet Will could be simpler, but the platform line6monkey look good practice for future updates downloads of drivers and modlisation supplmentaires.

No compatibility problems and ds I connect the beast, it directly replaces the internal sound card.

I find the sound level of input too low, but I think it comes from the microphone of my instruments are far from being high-end ... (There is a beginners all!)

The black dot: No manual or pdf franais provided, and the line6 site there as the basic manual pod farm in the language of Molire, all others are only Shakespeare.
Anyway I will not quibble, it's so easy and enjoyable to use!

------- EDIT on March 13, 2010 --------------------------------------

It can record one between times!

And how to choose between physics is recorded, via POD FARM is because of change in Live audio does not matter: it is the same signal on all channels!

And then the signal is really weak, it does not come from the microphones, and saturates quickly! Ca be finished by disabling the middle of the other tracks squenceur. I note down!

--- Sold .-------------------------------------------- Map -----

GETTING STARTED

Latency level:
With pod farm farm stand-alone there have none,
with Live7: between 9.02 and 18.1 ms in left, it's imperceptible.
POD Farm and pleasant surprise in VST is not trs resource hungry (I do not use more than four or five tracks)

No crashes to report. No problem with Live7, Audacity, or with films or Zique.

on the other hand I have no monitoring in Reaper ("no audio from enabled to see ASIO config panel blah blah ...) but I have the sound track which rotates with the light clip often started. I am not too look into the matter, it is probably a config do.
I will edit if there is a rel a problem.

For the number of track, I recorded only once.

OVERALL OPINION

Assets:
POD Farm, latency, quality sound, seamless compatibility with Vista, stability number of entries.

Cons:
Problem with Reaper (see) and of too low level (mic?) No entry for expression pedals, no MIDI port (trs not important to me)
I've had six days, and I'm really pleased.
And pod farm is a killer!
The ratio quality price is excellent, everything works like clockwork (except this problem with Reaper, but I think a can be arranged, this software is nice but sometimes a little quirky)

I highly recommend it!

We know them! They are compltes. In addition it comes with Live Lite 7 allows to work with 16 tracks (a change of four audio tracks and four MIDI tracks that Max might have had with other versions of Live Lite), what do beautiful pieces, Reason Adapted that without being a killer can have some key instruments of this superb software and of course POD Farm in standalone and plug-in! It runs 24-bit / 48 kHz (it is "compatible" mode in 96 kHz is - that she is able to convert 96 and 48 and 48 in 96 but the converters, they remain well to 48 kHz) which is sufficient to obtain a trs optimal quality.

UTILIZATION

I knew the TonePort UX2 dj (the same in red!) And did not t Drout by the use of the bo-bote. Two microphone inputs with power supply fantme, two instrument inputs, one branch, and everything goes on APRS Pod farm: the choice of amps, pramplis, effects ... with a beautiful fawn inerface "iTunes", and mixing and signal routing to four possible outputs (2 outputs Stros): possibility to route the signal between the crude (without effects), the signal line (with all effects) or partially treated. In short a breeze.

GETTING STARTED

Trs trs simple: you install Pod Farm which includes also the drivers ncessaires, one branch, we are going on Line6 Monkey and everything is good! The drivers are stable trs I find, especially compared my E-MU 0404 PCI plant rgulirement Cubase as long as I ask him to run six audio tracks and VST instruments 2-I.

OVERALL OPINION

Very good card I found, and not very expensive for what it offers. It is very stable and can work immediately with a string of high-quality effects.The amp sounded pretty good and Integrates seamlessly into a mix, there are enough effects to keep you happy, and I also love the preamps which are very effective with voices or&nbsp;&nbsp;acoustic&nbsp;instruments. Perhaps my nly regret: the compressor (model of the famousTeletronics LA-2A). It is very good but it's the only one. It is not adapted to all situations.

In conclusion, I can only recommend this little black box. I had&nbsp;the TonePort UX2&nbsp;2 years ago that I sold to buy some hardware (a BlueTube in particular) but I came back already because my E-MU PCI couldn't cope and because I missed using the effects, particularly as a plug-in in my sequencer.

What characteristics have motivated your choice?
The number of inputs / outputs, integrated effects, the phantom power, USB power.

For what purpose?
Demonstration recordings for my band.

What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Disk ,...)?
X64 Athlon, 2GB RAM, WinXP.

With which instruments or systems (console, preamp, DTD ...) and you use the connection with what?
Guitar, violin and vocal microphone mainly.

Overall it's still unproduit flexible, able to do many things.

UTILIZATION

No problems with driver (except for a version where the meters no longer worked), I use Cubase and Ableton Live.

Edit of 25/05/2010: I get a fairly large latency (often 20 ms), but that does not bother me: I record in re-re and the card returns the entry directly in the output. So long as we live does not effect between the input and output latency are not detrimental. Otherwise, it can become I think.

GETTING STARTED

Very easy to use and configure, especially with the interface very intuitive Pod Farm. It's stuff for beginners (they're not alone I am one), and so it is perfect.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over a year now.

What I like best: its value for money, the integrated effects that save time to start, its small size and discreet look black. I like the reassuring level meters (moving the needles, so it works). The separation of the monitor and headphone volume is very nice. Using plug-in is a real plus.

Regarding preamps and onboard effects: good, at this price point is really correct. After, you need to stop saying that it's stuff Pro ... It can be if we could have 2 physical preamp, 4 reverbs, 10 amps, 1 noise gate, a compressor and I do not know what else in the whole simulation for 250 € ... But at this price point, the components are more than correct.

The preamps are not perfect, but again, I preferred to have immediate effects available rather than buying a more effective interface but without any effect (I begin, I tell you).

Hello,
Happy owner of an M-Audio Fast Track II, Edirol UA-4FX, and Novation NIO 2 / 4, and yes home network and multiple configurations, I wanted to change your look and get involved in too many possibilities without interface sound. As soon as I saw her I loved her VU meters and design, but also the software package was attractive as the price. The dual effects of the instrument and singing was of course a major asset. It has everything except a great MIDI, but I use an interface. I insist on singing for the opinions span over the instruments, pre-amps are very good, the multiple effects can already apply many possibilities as to the beginner to the experienced. The simple settings, intuitive, Top .. It is installed on a conventional desktop PC Core Two Duo 8400, HDD 500G °, SATA II, ATI HD 830, switched screen 20 ", Win XP Pro 2G °. Primary uses: guitars, vocals, keyboards.
Microphones: AKG D 330 BT (a must do again) and Shure SM 58 (scene) in hardware on Vox Amplifiers and PA: pre-mixer occasionally amplified, 24 tracks and especially a vocoder Electro-Harmonix V256, a must also .

UTILIZATION

The drivers are stable, an interface called Line 6 Monkey takes care of updates, but no problem, such as latency, so far the USB PCI to face, of course, good brand, and often less expensive.

I use maps and software interfaces provided as Ableton Live Lite (updated 8010 free), Cubase LE4, Sonar, Reason Adapted, Pro Audio Tools-Lite, etc. ..

I use no more than 16 tracks, I am suffit.J 'wins a latency 5 entrance to 6 ms in soft, it is possible to use hardware buffers and fall to 0 / 1 but not always swift and steady.

GETTING STARTED

Easy installation, the CDs to install a USB cable to connect ..
As already mentioned, also very simple to configure. No incompatibilities encountered.
The manual? Frankly, I never got used, or too highly intuitive Pod Farm, outside the bundled software does not require a manual, then I do not need.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 18 months or a little more, in fact I missed her well in her range.
Said, yes of course: I've tested several USB (like PCI), a FireWire without rancor, but not a good model, which allows me to look elsewhere.
The special? Pod Farm nice to start directly, the number and type of inputs and outputs,
monitoring, the ease and after Softs provided significant (Ableton, Reason, Riff Works 4
Pod Farm and the drivers).
Two little less: plastic case (uh, they all are at this price) but with a look tough, and he will miss the Midi in / out for some users.
The value for money to date: Go for it!

If I had been robbing, like my Novation and Edirol, a little more complex to assess, but excellent, I would buy first.

I would do this choice in this price range, hard to beat, what a must.

I put 9 here for two little less.

motivated by:
2 jack inputs, 2 XLR inputs, phantom power, software amp simulation and effects, consistent with the current editing software, not very expensive, so it's a portable external card ... uh that's not bad

Used with:
Bass, guitar, synth in jack. SC450 Micro t.bone XLR. Srh-240 Shure headphones into the headphone jack.

Use: multi-track recording for the songs.

PC: Windows 7, 6GB RAM, AMD 4-core, motherboard asus, Altec Lansing 2.1 to 50 €, 1TB samsung

UTILIZATION

Once updated the drivers are stable, I use Cubase 5 most often. I have never been limited by the number of runs (20 at most), it is updated.
Low latency, inaudible.

Problem: difficult to have a high level without crackling, we need to mastering (which I do not know yet ^ ^) to raise the earnings history that it is listenable in the middle mp3 ripped CD &%&%&% % & Easy Installation, PodFarm easy to use.
No conflict, no manual.

GETTING STARTED

I use it for 1 year and a half, I've chosen for the phantom power required for the microphone jack and XLR inputs (you can use both XLR same time) thanks the good reviews I read here and elsewhere.

I have not tried before.

I love the amp and effects simulation, real hardware is cool but not the same price.
I can bring it to repeat or at a friend as it is installed on another PC.

No worries, I do not regret it, it's good for that price. I can only offer me enough to raise the gain and also during mastering: P Huge

OVERALL OPINION

/ Easy / Practical / Cheap

I bought a Mac to put myself in the computer music and I had a small audio interface to register easily. This was a very complete view connections, so I was seduced by the fact that I could keep it long, even if I complicate my stuff a little later.

I already knew Line 6 across their product and I was confident. An opportunity presented itself and I jumped on it.

So I use an iMac with Core 2 Duo, connected together simply by USB and I record the guitar only.

This is for fun, I did not need (or afford) materials "heavy".

UTILIZATION

I use it in two ways:
- With the Pod Farm stand alone, to play at night with headphones: you must use the headphone output of the UX2, impossible to make out the sound through the computer's sound card is a bit distressing that (it's not his fault, it's the Pod Farm software that chose him, then can we really blame him? ... yes, you can: -1 point).

- With Garaband (soon to logic express): no problem. You can record two tracks simultaneously: two microphones, or instrument and a microphone.

The updates are regular and are managed by the application Line 6 Monkey.

There is no noticeable latency.

GETTING STARTED

So Snow Leopard, the drivers sold simply does not. A little later download the Line 6 site, everything was in order. No problems between the Mac and UX2 since the agreement is perfect.

There's a few knobs on the bug, I do not hit often.

POD Farm does not always recognize the UX2: one farm, we raise and it works. AC does not come from the UX2, ca software comes Pod Farm (stand alone or plugin).

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a year since I use it.

It is easy to use and it works well: it's not the pro stuff, but for fun (seriously) is very ample. He lacks nothing on this beast.

She is not ugly, but it could have been nicer ... It takes a little place on the other hand and knobs on top (and the two humps of the meters) prevents stack anything on it ...

Value for great price, but there is competition. Manufactured
