All user reviews of 5/5 for the Line 6 POD Farm 2

I have not had any problems to install with XP!

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I have an old PC with XP SP3, 1G Ram, USB 2.0. Connecting the analog of a powerful HIFI chain (chain Old secondhand, not the value of a super powerful sound.). No BUG. I bought the UX1 secondhand, wishing to save me (from the time I say). This is a start in the computer music. I had already notions with cubase and GNX4 there a few years before.

OVERALL OPINION

The UX1 works wonders. So I installed pod farm 1 first, then 2.5 in stride. I still love my tube amps. But I must say, I'm impressed with the sound! To be quite frank, I did the tests at very low volume (many people want low volume amp with their lamps!), And the result is much better with Pod Farm! When I fart, the sound of some configurations is impressive. I find it good. I just broke. What more? I found her (I do very little use presets, I use it just like an amp or I plug my pedals. I'm not too technical, I play, that's what I want! Vintage Amp one or two known pedals, and it sounds!'s clear, I honestly can not say if it sounds good, I do not care! The crunch and distorted sounds.
There are probably better, but for me, a little guitar playing in his little room, this is the top. I will soon move to the sound with my microphone 57. I use Audacity which is free and goes without any worries with the UX1.
I heard presets completely rotten too, but there are a lot of good.

Line 6 POD Farm 2 (now in version 2.5) is Line 6's latest software version of their amplifier and effect emulation. In comes in two forms. A standalone that can send wet guitar signals directly to a DAW, and the capability to utilize Line 6's hardware direct monitoring. It also includes the VST, RTAS plugin version of the software, which can be inserted into any standard DAW, and it allows for the tweaking and changing of the effects and amplifiers after the tracks are recorded. The plugin version has the same preset format as the standalone, so it is very easy to switch between presets on the two different platforms. The plugin version also includes lightweight, individual effect versions of the emulation software, such as Delays, Reverbs, Filters, Mods, Guitar Amps, Bass Amps, and more. This way, if you only need to add delay, you don't need to load the entire plugin.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Line 6's standalone works great, and I have never experienced any lag or excessive cpu usage. The plugins are another story. If you are planning on having 5, or 10, or more instances of the Pod Farm plugin, you may soon run into cpu problems. The plugin, particularly the amplifier, cabinet, and microphone modeling, are very cpu-intensive. This is similar to other cabinet-emulating effects and plugins, as they are usually done with convolution (just like convolution reverb), and that is extremely resource intensive.

OVERALL OPINION

The overall sounds of Line 6's Pod Farm are what you'd expect from Line 6: pretty descent emulations, but extremely versatile, and in the software formats, extremely convenient. I find myself using Pod Farm all the time on vocals, and for scratch tracking heavy guitars. There is clearly a difference between the emulated Mesa Boogie sound and the real thing, but for getting new song ideas, scratch tracks, quickly recording ideas, Pod Farm cannot be beat.

Vista SP2 running I feared the worst, however was nothing special note is my cd you have the procedure, we enrigistre interface on the site thanks to Line 6 Monkey.

otherwise it is included with RiffWorks ableton lite 7, reason 4 line 6 ect ...

for the manual there is no need (available on the site of line 6 or pdf file)

no problem for the installation, my kid can do it

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I use the UX1 as an audio interface
if not 4GB ram 320GB Seagate HDD has a 7200rpm
dual core intel proc 1.66go

I use it with Cubase Essential 5.

project according to my music and what he calls cubase made from time to time the plant asio of line 6 (sometimes you fall on the message load asio failed, tea thing!) must blow cubase disconnected and reconnected interface.

I think it just so cubase.

stand alone no problem of stabilitbr />
I rarely use plug-in I feel it sounds worse, I record live send (provided on the mixing desk to reduce the level rec send slurry provides otherwise!)

very low latency also no quack or a cut of any problem with asio.
8 / 10 for a crash of asio that I think cubase has more to go.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost two months, before I try AmpliTube

the great advantage over version two is to work its chain effect (not fesable with the first)

for the same sounds in them that I drais AC is worth with the competition.

He sounds are quite limited on the basic version but there is the pack that includes other effects amps ect. or can upgrade on the platinum (149USD) clean my hand I still have the pack you get a bass with a total of nearly 120 amps.

small downside to the FX junkie pack (which is provided free of charge when switching from a 2-pod farm via monkey) which is very ... original to say it can try to research the subject matter
otherwise the simulation is very correct with a certain respect for the dynamics of attack.

for the price I would do because the choices delivered with a good interface (for a little cheap plastic) there is some software that zoom which provides an interface with only one defect of mine can not connect pedals Expressions damage.)
