My config:
HP dv2000 special edition
CPU Intel Core 2 Duo T5250 1.50 Ghz
2 GB of RAM
Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 32 bit

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!

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!
