stompboxjon « Upgrade to 2.5 »
Published on 02/13/13 at 01:41The Line 6 POD Farm 2 is a tone plug in, I have recently upgraded to POD Farm 2.5 after using Farm 2 for quite some time. Version 2.5 has some flexible digital processing that will give a wider and fuller range of tones when using it. The interface is not the easiest interface to use and it has took me some time to get use to it even when I was using the standard version 2 and just purchased it I was spending some time reading through the manual to get the swing of things before I just dove right in and started using it. But as far as the sounds that you can use, they are all set up in a simple easy to understand system that are categorized by source folders and then put into another window by “name” “Author” and “type”. There is even a search bar at the top where you can do a search to bring the styles you are looking for. There are not any small hard to read text and a bunch of sub menus.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
Version 2.5 has allowed me to use it has a standalone version and not even have load up my DAW. I can just open up Farm 2.5 and start playing. I was very surprised on how well 2.5 has been on my CPU too. I can load up several different instances of it without having to worry about it getting slow or crashing on me in my DAW.
OVERALL OPINION
You can run Farm 2 or 2.5 on a Mac or a PC as a RTAS, AU, or a VST. Most of the time I use it it in Cubase 5 or Reaper, I have only used it in Logic 1 time and really didn’t like using it in that DAW so I never did it again though it did work fine and will work fine as long as you are using version 9.2 in Logic. If you are currently using Farm 2 I recommend upgrading to version 2.5 or Farm 2.5 Platinum!
