All user reviews for the Line 6 TonePort UX1

Hello, I galley. I explain: I am part of a group that no longer exists but the singer did a pretty good record on MD (guitar + vocals). She told me over the MD and I have to sort it out to save me first on my computer (I use a software Music Studio Deluxe 2003) but here the sound is pourave and I am decidedly in no enregistremet digital. If anyone can help me or make me? Ds then I could save the MD to my hard disc I must record my voice and my guitar !!!!! Help me. By the way I use the sound card in my computer. Is this the problem between the MD and his rotten when recording on my computer ??????????????
So if you have to buy a card for its specific 'pluguer' my guitar and my voice and make the record is that the TONE PORT 1 c UX OK?

Initially I bought it because it was cheap and it allowed me to record guitars and a bass direct sound and put a vst.

Finally I used Cubase 5:
- Record voice on XLR
- Recording guitars through an instrument mic XLR input
- Record low through a pre-amp Ashdown then XLR
- Recording guitar and bass on the DI

UTILIZATION

The drivers are stable only if you use the POD Farm provided and not a cracked version.
Noise level gate: no worries
Latency Level: low

I can record two tracks simultaneously: eg singing with a guitar DI.

GETTING STARTED

Very easy to use. Easy installation.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years but I use it almost over.
In fact I now use a Motu 828 MKII which allows me to record more instruments simultaneously. And I bought it mainly for its much lower THD than the Line 6. If I want to make good decision that will be sent in a studio for the re-amp + mix + master, I need the lowest possible THD.

Characteristics that led me to purchase:
- Easy to use
- Compact
- Self-powered by USB
- To use the amp simulations line6
- To record guitar, bass, singing, keyboard.

I use it with my guitars, my bass, my microphone and very soon with an old organ from behind the fagots ...

I use it for my own compositions, it allows itself to send maquetter riffs to other musicians. We must go out with a demo, but hey, we should not consider producing an album with this camera, of course.

I have long used an old Pentium 4 with 1GB of RAM, windows xp. Recently, it runs on a Core i3 with 4GB of ram under w7. It is therefore highly resource intensive. No crashes to report.

UTILIZATION

Very reliable, never crashes, I use it with gearbox, its software / driver and cubase. Latency is correct. You can record two tracks at once, something I never do, I do not stretch out on the subject. Drivers for windows 7 has long been expected, but they are now available, for cons, the product is old. I doubt they are updated.

GETTING STARTED

Free installation when you respect the PB instructions: Connect the device AFTER you have installed the driver. The config is very easy. No report has inconsistencies

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 2006 I appreciate the simplicity of implementation, its low price (which must be even more so today with the market opportunity and the output of the family pod studio) I would do to choice without pb

I needed a simple interface for guitar and bass, and can do without effect pedals or an amp. So these are simulations that have been decisive, and price.
Usage: homestudio beginner.
Config: a computer HP desktop 2 processors and a pair of computer speakers with very average.
I recall that the UX1 includes two line in jack, a jack instrument, an XLR for a microphone, and line output jacks and headphone out, plus a separate volume control for headphones and a USB socket which serves both the alimention and into the computer, much to save for use simulations and effects.

UTILIZATION

The drivers are stable, but Line6 does not stop offering updates (not understand why they insist on that).
For my needs, I can read and write 5/6 tracks simultaneously, including a drum track virtual qq guitars and basses.
I never calculated the latency, but my first recording wave instead of ASIO latency was terrible, at least half a second if it is a second, and I heard both the signal and the late tonedirect in the TonePort, almost no latency. Beuuuuurk.

GETTING STARTED

The installation is no problem as long as you follow the instructions and click every time Windows says that the software has not been checked etc.. For something purely owner and under Windows, it still annoyed. And it is a bit long for a contraption basic and can not start the install and do something else in the meantime, since it requires a click every 3 minutes.
Otherwise, no incompatibility encountered with my various materials infomatiques (but LINE6 not like Linux at all), but the manual easy interface is also, except when its not where we fall leaves a little troubleshooting.
Warning: no phantom power mic preamp therefore expected (in my case, later a Behringer MC200).
No jack for guitar or bass ACTIVE.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had more than 5/6 years now and I have not misused.
I had not tried before buying.
What I like most: a little something practical and portable that can replace without much pretensions, amps and effects racks to save if we take as the computer where it is installed. To play live, I think a bean (pod) is more appropriate.
What I like least: I switched to Linux, I changed ordis, Line6 dislikes. Reinstall everything on the new ordis, almost completely incompatible with Linux, it takes the lead, not just as a standard USB interface, which branch and running.
Value: in good secondhand, was a bit expensive new. This is still the entry-level and more difficult to control a real amp if you want to play well and sound, and a bit limited as audio interface.
If it again and experience, I would spend immediately on the best equipment for the audio range, and would use freeware or commercial software carefully selected for effects and amp simulations. Or use a real amp and a good quality microphone for recording on a better interface range.

Line 6's Toneport UX-1 is one of the first USB-audio interfaces that the company has created, and one of the first to use their brand new Gearbox software. For inputs, it had a single XLR mic preamp input with trim knob, a single 1/4 inch instrument input, two 1/4 inch stereo line inputs, and a 1/4 inch stereo monitor input. For outputs, it had an S/PDIF stereo output (RCA type), 1/4 inch balanced line outputs (controlled by the master volume knob), and a 1/4 inch stereo headphone output. The box was compact, but a fully-functional usb-audio interface, and it comes with Line 6's Gearbox software, which includes multiple guitar and bass amps, vocal preamps, compressors, effects, and much much more. It's what you would expect form Line 6.

UTILIZATION

One of the unique features of the UX-1 (and other Line 6 audio interfaces) is the use of direct monitoring of the wet, processed guitar signal. Normally, monitoring an input signal requires the signal to pass through the computer software, which usually results in a lag or delay from anywhere to 10ms to a couple seconds. When playing guitar and hearing the sound right back, even the smallest lag (as small as 30ms) can be noticeable, and it can effect your playing, when doing serious recordings. However, with the Line 6 interface, the monitoring of the wet, processed guitar signal is instantaneous, and it does not use significant cpu usage either. This is perfect for recording guitar, as you can use this software and hardware with even mediocre and slow computers, with high latencies.


GETTING STARTED

The Line 6 UX-1 is very simple to set up. You need to register the hardware and software through Line 6's website, but there are no serial keys, challenge/response, or any other protections necessary. You just need to have the hardware plugged in, the software recognizes it, and it automatically activates everything. Very convenient!

OVERALL OPINION

Overall, the UX-1 is a wonderful product, and it can be used as an introductory usb-audio interface for many guitarists, who are looking to get into the recording world.

TonePort UX1 Ins and Outs:

Inputs:
Single XLR mic preamp input with trim knob
Single 1/4-inch instrument inputs
2x 1/4-inch stereo line inputs
1/4-inch stereo monitor input

Outputs:
S / PDIF stereo output (RCA-type)
1/4-inch balanced line outputs with master volume knob
1/4-inch headphones output

Computer Interface:
USB bus-powered with LED status indicator
USB 1.1 & 2.0 compatible
Rock Solid ASIO, WDM and Mac ® OS X driver

UTILIZATION

I use it only to plug in my microphone instrument to record my guitar.
I'm not really satisfied with the software that mimics sounds to me far too synthetic compared to other software like guitar rig ...
In short this is an external sound card really cheap that I can very easily take over the sound of the amp and that's all I ask.
I recommend for this for the software at all.

I will therefore 6/10 for the mediocrity of its software.

GETTING STARTED

No hassle installation, once installed, plug in and go

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over 3 years now, I like it, it's not bulky, one branch, we launch the software and it's ready.
Very appreciable little thing too, we can settle the entry level thanks to the software but also thanks to the TonePort button for more precision.
I put an 8 for its good value for money

a sound card, but that has always proven, I bought it because it came out and it seemed to match what I expected, a simple map and complete.
I use windows vista, it always turned, no matter the windows used, but also on mac.
For this card, I always used adobe audition and never a concern salt

UTILIZATION

it starts the cd, you plug the card, it launches its software mao, it's his choice and off you go!
There is no easier than this sound card
with hearing, latency quite acceptable, the sounds are well made, either for singing, guitars (classical, folk, electric or bass), I also registered with this card cellos, violin, flute , drums, percussion, accordion ... short, a sample, and she was always out

GETTING STARTED

no worries, ever not be simpler ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for years, in fact, since its creation, I do not even know what year, I also use a fast track M-Audio that I did run on pro-tools, and I tested several other models on multiple systems.
The TonePort is an ideal card for Laying out guitar / vocals, I always enjoyed the multitude of sounds, even if we can quickly sink into the bidding, finally, I use most often with minimal effects, I deal my later with his hearing or pro-tools.
Since there was new version, and try to get them, they are still interesting.
With experience, this choice I would do without hesitation, I think I even buy the TonePort UX2, just for extra ports

External sound card (USB) with amp modeling and bass guitar preamp and voice. The sounds on offer are interesting and good quality sound card for that price. It is stable and the installation is quick and painless.

UTILIZATION

Comes with an adapted version of Ableton Live latency is very correct and sounds taken directly through the amp models are the hands down! The sound is clean and the drivers are stable. You have to register on the site to receive updates of various products (drivers, models, ...) The site offers other free and paid products.

GETTING STARTED

Installation: Ok
Good compatibility with my other sound card.

OVERALL OPINION

Very good value for money, one complaint: the case is plastic and a little toy!

- What characteristics have motivated your choice?
I was looking for an affordable audio interface, with a microphone, a guitar input and line input, while the USB 2.0, simple to implement and if possible with a software bundle. I demanded at least 24bits/48kHz.

- For what purpose?
Mobile and home studio, to produce parts acoustic and electric guitar, saxophone and vocals (but not all at once ...)

- What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?
Case Antec Sonata
Motherboard: Asus K8V SE Deluxe
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3200 +
Ram: 1GB
Disc: 2 x 120GB Serial ATA

Dell Inspiron 600m
Centrino 1.6Ghz
512
80GB

- Which instruments and systems (console, preamp, DTD ...) do you use the connection and how?

Fender Stratocaster, Epiphone AJ-15E, Korg Wavestation, Samick Digital Piano, Midi interface Edirol UM-2, awaiting a Shure BETA58.

I put 8 / 10 because the UX1 has no microphone input 48v power supply, unlike the UX2. There was in my plans to acquire a B-2 Pro, for once, it missed at least put a little more to buy some sort of device to get the damn power supply 48v.

UTILIZATION

- The installation is done it without problems?
No worries installation.
It must still take some precautions to avoid deadlock possible:
Unplug all USB devices present on the PC (except the keyboard and mouse; o))
Exit all programs running in the background (antivirus, etc ...)
Install the GearBox (line6) BEFORE connecting the beast.

- Have you experienced any incompatibilities?
No imcompatibilité. And if there had been, the GearBox application has a conflict detector: a kind of benchmark of the machine that tests all (memory, CPU, disk, etc.)

- The general configuration is easy?
Configuration is done alone. A real pleasure! Efficient and fast.

- The manual is clear and sufficient?
What manual? Apart from a small box of 10cm * 10cm saying it must be installed before the TonePort GearBox. There are several help files. Too bad they are not printed. But good for the price, you can not have it all.

So it deserves a 10/10.

GETTING STARTED

- The drivers are stable?
In theory yes. Used for a full day, no worries.

- Are they often updated?
GearBox has a tool for automatic updating of firmware TonePort. Simplicity itself.
You click on the Update button and then you wait to click OK, disconnect and reconnect the TonePort. It could not be simpler. At first the drivers are regularly updated, if need be a.

- What software do you use most often?
Cubase SX 2.1
The TonePort Abelton comes with Live Lite 4, I'll take a look, and will update my opinion.

- What you get lag?
2 milliseconds miserable

- How many tracks you get to record / playback simultaneously?
2 tracks (mono) Simultaneous recording. Which is a shame since we use the USB 2.0, which, I believe, can handle 4 simultaneous mono tracks.
GearBox offers several routing: + instrument mic, mic, instrument, stereo line, line1 + line2, I may be forgetting ... But in any case there are only two simultaneous inputs.

9 / 10: A little disappointed not to save recorded four simultaneously. It can be used ...

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
Since two days.
- What is so special that you like most and least?
- No power supply 48v
- Only two simultaneous tracks
- There are not enough presets (line 6 in offers for sale (still in GearBox)!
It's a bit inflated)

+ The price: For this price it still has good hardware, even if not very heavy little box do not put forward the sound quality.
+ The deign and large buffers. The case is very stable.
+ The modeling preamps are very good quality and really changes the sound made
+ The amp models and effects are good too, it's nice to find new sounds and presence.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I had a Terratec DMX6Fire that conflicted with my new config. I used Amplitube LE, which sounded fine with the Terratec. But the UX1 is much better.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
This was not theft, it's a fact! € 135 for the UX1 is reasonable and affordable.
Line6 it's still a reputation for its models, and did not again in the court of audio interfaces (POD Guitar Tracker), their new products are up to.

- With experience, you do again this choice?
Only regret is missing the power supply 48v sacrament! An error on my part, I misread the spécicifactions. Is it justified to spend the UX2? Maybe ... but you must add € 80. See for yourself. I keep my UX1!

This is a USB sound card
There is the minimum necessary and sufficient for the spirit of the thing
Basically you can record voice + guitar (no phantom power supply) or line input
The case is very light and is like 20 * 20cm, so easy to carry
It interests me because a term I'll record the drums in the local mobile again with a tit
I put 8 because it could be a little tough, apart from that is all you need

UTILIZATION

Basically the installation of gear box (the box software driver) is very easy, but remember to be logged in to update the firmware (there are already new online versions of the early bugs ...)
on the other hand zero doc, not even a booklet that describes the simulations. I had a pod and although it was super intuitive liked to watch the booklet for information on this or that amp
Above all no doc or pdf paper on the operation with audio sequencers (I'm on cubase sx)
Have to go to the line6 site, let's not great
So I have not yet registered tips, at the same time I will post an addendum to that in due course
I put 6 for the complete lack of doc, even an informal doc

GETTING STARTED

For now the software works nickel
A tit tuner bonus
Apart from that a lot of sounds, but for some average effects (chorus, vibrato ...)
There are a lot of possible settings, level pod xt, for one against her, especially for the purposes of (decay) that time has suddenly choking, damage
I found the sound more guitar chouilla a pod
For the low, the hearts
As I do not do that from time to time, I did not have a dedicated gear, and there's great to have the big fat snore ...
I have not tried the simulation of "voice" sounds are functioning but also for low
Apart from that, there are some preset factory, but still no sound to share the site of line 6
Basically it's super practical and comprehensive, but less realistic chouilla the decay of distorted sounds ...
So I set, go, 7

OVERALL OPINION

For now I've had a day
Basically it's very convenient, the bundle is almost complete (there are still things bonus downloadable Line 6 packs at $ 50, like the pod xt, a view later)
This is great for models all the way instruments nickel, even though I deplore two to three sounds (distortion, chorus, etc ...)
Even when the hearts
For what it cost, go for it if you do not have a sound card nickel, like me ...

TonePort confer site
Use home studio, recording guitar - bass - vocals possibly more

+: Simulated exeption - Multi use - Price
Downside: no MIDI controller to play with the wah - no phantom power (AC I do not care!)

UTILIZATION

Impeccable, the cd you crazy, you branch directly and it works! In addition to not conflict with my other sound cards!! that's good thank you line6

By not against man, but everything is very intuitive! So it will be crazy!

GETTING STARTED

For now RAS, used on AMD2600 1GB RAM, DD7200 tr, with audio tracks, VST Gourma, impeccable work, latency pokey with cubase sx2.
Only used the simulated scratch, and that makes serious factory presets are a little pourraves, but y 'has more than 4000 users on the site line6 !!!!! And we just see the capabilities of the beast! Huge!
Little extra: the monkey made the update for you if you are connected!

OVERALL OPINION

I have recently, I changed my mind after several complete mix,
Just a little regret is that there have no connection to pedal, but with a MIDI controller and more we can still manage to put one.
If not for the moment the ball, go for it, do not hesitate a single second is a given that price!

2 line inputs, a preamp (instrument / mic).
USB powered
Headphones, monitor and line out.
For € 120 fine.

UTILIZATION

Installation is very simple, 5 minutes and everything works.

GETTING STARTED

2 knobs: gain preamp and volume output - is essential. I plugged in my laptop and I run Gearbox (dedicated software, everything passes necessarily by him), it works. It's very simple.

OVERALL OPINION

I do not really back but since I use it in repeats and on stage to voice my opinion can perhaps be used:

I was a little disappointed with the color proposed by the preamp. They are too similar for my taste, but we must take into account that I use a dynamic mic (Audix OM7) less elaborate and a static. The effects are subtle without being used. We can not change the preset by noon (pedal) .. gearbox is not. It includes only the control change, not the program change, so if you want to change the preset, he must fully describe the new setting to use (what preamp, gain, EQ each, each effect ...) what ' any MIDI pedal does (ten control change is already huge, is it takes about twenty ...) The only solution would be to use an interpreter PM: something that transforms the program change in control change in gearbox 20. ... I am currently testing it, I do not know yet if it works.

The thing that I really love is the surprise on this TonePort: it does not mug feedback. It's a mystery to me. I tried everything before: EQ, no compressor, micro special, no reverb, even the shark from behringer (not cool) ... in vain! every time I was at the extreme limit of the feedback. If I stayed at the microphone without singing more than 3 seconds, it whistled.

Now, I put a large compressor, a distortion of my voice, the cleat of delay, reverb, and I still have the headroom! I suspect the noise gate to be phenomenal, but after all, I do not care, it works! Now when basseux grattiste and play like the deaf, I can get on and I put out their ears!

So it's an interface guitar / bass / voice with a jack and a conection to put a microphone, it connects to the pc via USB.
It contains an integrated sound card that allows 24 bits/96Khz acquisition and comes with an audio software (GearBox) through which everything goes through him.

In addition it contains some effects of POD XT namely 16 amp simulations and simulations of many firms, too, reverb, delays, modulation, stompbox (with choices like distortion, screamer, fuzz, etc.), noise gate , Wah wah, volume, equalizer and microphone simulations mm.

UTILIZATION

The manual is clear ... especially trs install GearBox BEFORE connecting the camera to the PC. This is important if I prcise the instalation is not no problem.
Otherwise everything is easy to install, no problem this level, in addition to my PC is old and not efficient (Athlon 1700 and 512MB of RAM). The software runs without a problem and therefore the use of apareil also ...

Everything is done from the software which is an exemplary simplicity of use and intuitive trs. We understand how quickly trs a laborer works and how his own sound.
It is the visual interface of the software trs well organized and a nice view too (lol).

GETTING STARTED

For now I never had problem of drivers, they are super stable on my PC. In addition it is possible to Tlcharger free updates of GearBox (which I recall is the software that allows all operations) on the Line6 site.

It is compatible with sonar, cubase, music studio, and finally you will understand with squenceurs best known (at least those are the ones I use it and no problem with either).

OVERALL OPINION

I possde for over a year as an interface for electric guitar and I used bcp to produce my music. The recording quality is very well but need to know its squenceur configure this interface to take full advantage of its capabilities. Especially connects to the PC, I is that plugging my guitar directly into the jack on the Toneport and start the squenceur ... very practical since simulations amp and cabinets are trs good, the effects also ...
Notice that the delays are beautiful and almost perfect, the noise gate and trs performance against by wah I can not say anything because I have not had the opportunity to test it (for lack of pdalier controller) .
The simulations are convincing and there are a range of choices for all Sufi style of music ...

In my case I take solos for the simulation of the Mesa / Boogie Dual Rectifier + simulation of the Tube Screamer to boost, and my friends ... that is happiness ... I add a lightweight pa Miiiaaaaaam delay it ...! What a treat!!

This interface produces his own songs with good quality and comes with DJ effects ... And the price is derrisoire!!
Frankly I do not regret to have bought but not forget that this interface does Designed specially for guitar and bass (with possibility to conect a microphone for voice), so do not ask him not do anything but what it does for Conua. Otherwise nothing to say, is made from my own making have grown in quality records far more crdibles to a model or an example dmo.

All input / output jacks are 3.5.
The case does not PSE more than 400 g, it is the size of a small multi-purpose, one-piece plastic, care should be taken not to put his pack of beer on it too long.

Level connections, it's ultra intuitive.

I use a Dell Latitude D620 (CPU 2 GHz, 1 MB RAM, 60 GB HDD, XP Home Edition SP2), an Ibanez RG270, a ESP LTD MH400 and Cubase LE.
Micro level: I use a PG48.

The UX1 comes with Ableton Live 6 (Light version).

Most:
Easy connections
Design fun (even if we do not care royally)

The -:
Line 6 could have provided one or two jack adapters, they would have not cost more
T have FireWire version apprciable (and apprcie)
It would be cool to be able t use the wheel mouse for example increase the volume knobs to select an effect or navigate menus

UTILIZATION

The topic for the (s?) Toneport.

First:
Whoever says there is not Russia not his. The case comes with two CDs, on which it is written in bold characters in size 48 "INSTALL THIS FIRST BEFORE CONNECTING YOUR [...] HARDWARE" on the first and "" INSTALL THIS [... ] AFTER "... Line6 could hardly do better ...
Those who say that APRS has nr not work, because they have any branch can only APRS rflchir they went and read the manual, the people have that even blame them ...

Deuxio:
APRS installation, thought to date drivers and software ...

Good once everything is installed you can launch GearBox, a small interface to model his sound ...
The interface is as clear as if you had the stuff to you, knob, pedals, amp, cabinet, and while there are no worries RULES.
It is even indicate what the effect of a particular effect on rglage said.

There are roughly thirty merdo rglages "factories" but it is quite possible to save his own configurations, with a TAG INTERESTED Systm (by style, by type of effect, etc. .. .)

Finally, some interesting gadgets:
The possibility of prcharger SETTING THE guitarists "known" through the portal Line6.
Prsence a tuner.
Prsence a "Player" which allows for the loop, and acts to mitigate the sound of the guitars (or at least their frquences)
Pace box and not configurable dgueu

Line6 is available "Packs" allowing the agrmenter bte with new sounds ... The prices are quite exorbitant (a third of the bundle of UX1, it is not top issue proportions Line 6) ...

Most:
Ease of handling
Gearbox Interface enjoyable, not at all "gas factory", intuitive
The -:
The installation for those who are really not friends with the niceties of USB peripherals
Too bad updates from drivers / software are not automatically
The price of the add-ons

GETTING STARTED

Latency level, personal, I do not perois so I think it's good to this point of view

The sound is of good quality trs with all the subjective implications.
There are modlisations clbres amp (Mesa, Fender Tweed, Marshall JCM, Orange, etc.), on which modlisations Line6 has built its empire and reputable.
There are also modlisations effects (Rat, TS, Octave, etc.). Some will find them in bad quality and there prfreront the classic pedals.
Care must be taken not to plug the beast of a non self-powered hub and it will leave him almost intgralit resources pc (so exit to the encoding of video at the same time, or software a little greedy).

Personally, it happens that his "crack" a little, but that does not include registration.

Most:
Near-zero latency
The Line6 modlisations if you like

The -:
Obviously the configuration is advising underestimate the manufacturer
The Line6 modlisations if you do not like

OVERALL OPINION

I possde n'tant for some months and not a fan of Line6 modlisations I'll sell it ...
It is obvious that the price for the UX1 is excellent but a little light for the big ambitious home studio.

The UX1 is excellent, certainly, but he'll have to find its own sound, settings, make his small kitchen.
The handling is quick, easy and intuitive for the guitarist.
The UX1 seems perfect to record some songs composed or trs with an honorable quality.
Finally, the interface / GearBox software offers full small gadget with which one can have fun for a while.

We regret that the installation is sometimes laborious and requires some prcautions.

The possibilities are almost unlimited, therefore, for a very reasonable budget.
If you want to ttonner in the home studio, here is a small safe peripherals except modlisations: we like it or not.

- What technical specifications motivated your choice?
Need a more efficient sound card.

- For what purpose?
Make better decision for her models and auto-production.

- What is your config (motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?
Toshiba Satellite PC (Pentium Dual-Core clocked 1.46 and 1.47 GHz) with Vista SP1
An internal hard drive (2x60 GB) and external (300 GB) RAM: 2 GB


- Which instruments or Systmes (console, prampli, DTD ...) you use it and how connections? ...
Before: guitar (ESP LTD Explorer / Ibanez Ergodyne) + Multi-Effects Zoom G7 plugged into the PC's microphone.
Now: Guitar 1 + UX + Cool Edit Pro 2 (could not be more simple!)

UTILIZATION

- Installation is it without problem?
You must install the installation CD before connecting the Gearbox UX1, as described on the cover in large discs. For my part I have to go to the sute of Line 6 Tlcharger the new version of Gearbox, which is compatible with Vista 32 bits. The following are all dmarches trs simple.

- Have you experienced any incompatibility?
No, if not the download version of Vista on the Line 6 website.

- The configuration gnrale is easy?
Once the installation begins there is that to be guided to finally connect the UX1. After the installation completes, open the "Monkey", a program that provides information via the Internet if updates are available depending on your configuration to ensure optimum compatibility. Once this step completes, you can finally plug in a guitar / bass / microphone singing. After five minutes were almost all entered. Unless you know nothing about guitar effects, it has the feel of its own hardware to be given as the clarity of the interface of Gearbox.

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
It is in English but that did not pos problem. Submitted it as a PDF file which you can click on the summary DIFFERENT chapters to arrive directly what is desired. dfile not need to do all the pages is trs apprciable if English put you off.

GETTING STARTED

- The drivers are stable?
Apparently yes.

- Are they often put day?
I think so.

- What software do you use most often?
Cool Edit Pro 2 and Adobe Audio 3. Note that software, RiffWorks, which seems to serve as registration is via the Monkey Tlcharger of Gearbox.

- What you get lag?
I do not see any dcalage between the note played and the note heard is stunning!

- How many tracks you get record / playback simultanment? ...
I do not know if we can record a bass or guitar and a microphone with XLR at the same time.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
Few days.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
I love its simplicity of operation (many pre-rglages to play right away) and its price but the big advantage of this device is the quality of sound that I can have. I get a death metal distortion of an excellent quality without even having to pay for Tlcharger The elements optional (new virtual amps for example). In addition, we can Tlcharger sounds of famous guitarists through the Gearbox which is not nothing! I could get the sound of Dimebag or Kerry King on some of their songs.
However, I feel that bass players and singers are less fortunate because the UX1 is primarily for players but I could be wrong because I used the UX1 for guitar.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
I wanted to buy the beginners Tone Port GX but my dealer gave me a discount on trsgnreux UX1. I will also record the bass and singing trs ending for the UX1 seemed so suited.

- How do you report qualitprix?
Excellent to have a good sound trs low cost.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes. For the price, simplicity and quality.

The Toneport UX1 I was immediately over. Since I play the bass guitar and I sing from time to time, that's exactly what I needed.
I used to record my compositions, and I use a Dell Studio 15 Laptop (3GB RAM, 250GB HDD)

UTILIZATION

Installation could not be simpler and faster. All goes well, if you follow the instructions. I had no problem on that side.
I have not met any inconsistencies.

GETTING STARTED

The software is j'utilisent Gearbox and Reaper (for recording).
Gearbox Software is provided with the Toneport, the interface is simple and easy, and the amp models it offers are numerous and of good quality.

It is possible to achieve zero latency quasimment, but I do not recommend it because it causes cracking which may shift all of your recording.
So I prefer to set the latency up to get a quality recording, without cuts. (Apparently, this problem is common with the Toneport ...)

I can record a track at a time, and it suits me well.
With Reaper, it seems that the number of tracks that I can read simultaneously is infinite!

I do not use Ableton Live Lite (recording software included with the UX1), because I find the possibilities relatively small (4 tracks max), and the interface more complicated than Reaper.
So I dropped the software, which did not really attractive ...

OVERALL OPINION

I bought my Line 6 Toneport UX1 last December, so I'm using it for 3 / 4 months and I am delighted. It allows us to put in all that new music Spasse by the head, quickly and easily.

For me, the positives are:
-The ease of use
-The variety of simulations proposed by Gearbox
-The final rendering of the compositions, reminiscent of home studio recordings pro (if one takes so much ^ ^)
-PRICE! The TonePort is really a gold mine => quality / price ratio hardly beatable

Cons:
-The plastic case provides a rather "cheap", and is quite cumbersome. (But hey, it's a matter of taste)
-Ableton Live Lite disappointed me. what can be done with really small, and the interface could be simpler.
I had not tried other models before purchasing the Toneport UX1, but I do not regret my purchase.
I relied on advice I read, and video demo ... and I was blown away by the possibilities it offers.

YES, I would do this choice! and I recommend it to anyone looking to record high quality components, without breaking the bank.

UTILIZATION

Installation without any problem, whether Windows XP SP3 or Vista Pro32 Pro64 SP1.

GETTING STARTED

Ok, no problem.
A single track recording, I play at home and only have two hands.
Imperceptible latency even with a payroll of tracks and plugins (test with over 30 plug-ins including Vsti greedy).

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a month now that I used daily.
I rcupr that of the friend who wanted to spend Djangologiste something more "beefy".

This is a box preamp / audio interface very practical and user friendly. The quality is correct as long as we know what to ask. I do not use the microphone from only taking electric bass and guitar.

I did a little tour in the area of ​​home-studio with Protools LE Digi002 rack and C | 8, with Marian Samplitude, Sonar with RME DIGI96 ... Live and now and UX1. This is not a move upmarket, on the contrary, but it is limited my need to make some arrangements as an amateur without problem. For me the shovel stuff in every sense it's over and I do not deal worse.

That stuff really practical without prtention, but to make the model without asking any questions it trs enough. A complter with a MIDI interface for controlling my amp. I use it as ID, Gearbox sometimes but more often live and I treat my face Amplitube and Ampeg SVX. Your exact is good, far from a pro studio shot cohrent but with the need and budget.

EDIT After a few months of use:
The Toneport is a small tool friendly and quick take control with low latency.
Gearbox simulations are not bad at all and dpannent well. The big problem of the Toneport is my view of the analog outputs of the interface. They are weaklings.
If the output level is correct and close to the standard, the dynamic is sacrment down compared to most common products. This is, I think the weakness of the D / A converters output.
For comparison, a map RME DIGI96 quoting substantially the same bargain price as the Toneport (also used) is much more dynamic ... but really.

Tobenort is certainly the most convenient tool for guitarists nomadic Gearbox with low latency and is effective. But for a longer recording raliste and work more srieux component (with a pre-mix correct) the Toneport will not hold the road longer. For those who s'intressent UX1 with the intentions srieuses better spend the range above: a single card with good converters and a small spar prampli (like GST or ART Studio). And the PodFarm? I believe that the license can be purchased even without Line6 hardware.

Attention, I'm not saying the UX1 is bad. For its price and because of its simplicity and the quality trs correct Gearbox is a good plan. But it is a Whereas as a tool for "training" or model and not as a basis for home-studio correct. An excellent first investment in the hardware for guitarist / bassist but too lightweight for most users express. Whereas A primarily as a good amp simulator that allows to register properly, what it does well trs.

For technical specifications, see the reviews previous ones.

UTILIZATION

No problem with the drivers, nothing wrong. The whole is stable (Windows XP SP2).

GETTING STARTED

The installation is very simple, simply plug in the CD and insrer when they ask.

No problem configuration. Once you install the device in select options and squenceur his works.

No manual but it does not really need either.

OVERALL OPINION

This will make three years that I have my UX1. I had bought to use on my laptop (a Vaio 1.7GHz) telling me that I will do with a bit of everything. What I especially motiv c'tait the price but also the potential for recording guitars and basses. Record directly without the need for other plug-ins greedy.

I express all sorts of configurations and finally I turned my laptop into a guitar amp by just turning GearBox and FL Studio and some other plug-ins and plugging everything in a mixer to my PC fixed (which is my main tool).

For APRS I bought a few packs supplmentaires (including the famous metal pack) and it's really top. The simus as the same as those of the PODxt, which is more reputable to do.

I do not use so as to record guitars, gnralement saturated. I go into the UX with my ESP LTD M-400 (2x EMG81) not need to do drawing. Provided that one has the patience to tweak so-even, we get a sound gnial. Obviously my goal n'tant tripper not as if I was playing on an amp pushed vritable eleven but couraging good prods, a good mix RALIS you hear any diffrence .

The effects are passable but practical.

I tried to register to vote but that does not convince me. Actually I did not try a more than either, which is especially m'intressait guitars.

Another thing that does not convince me is the interface of GearBox and especially its management of presets a bit clumsy (having to go through every time all the menus).

Finally, if you want to record his guitar home and have available a broad spectrum of excellent sound (as long as you love hack) is labor, the UX is an excellent choice . Torque to DIFFERENT packs that can be obtained sparment (and cheap), this little box is a killer.

Obviously I would do without this choice hsiter.

I suggest you also take a tour of the cot that thread ( https://fr.audiofanzine.com/simulateur-ampli-guitare/line-6/POD-XT/forums/t.110594,un-bundle-de-quot-gros-sons-quot-metal-pour-podxt.html ) o vtm agnreusement put his excellent patches available for personal PODxt running perfectly on the UX.

Using Toneport GX as a result of the need XLR connections. Choice motivated by price in nice gear for the USB 2.0 and amp simulations dj known by the GX, sufficient in my beginners computer music for models of cool.

Drivers: no worries, installation of road gearbox.
Software: Acid Pro above, and Ableton. Freesoft test with Kristal and Audacity.

Tracks a registered one, not tried pluysieurs time. Tracks played: in a trouble-free package Acid.

GETTING STARTED

Installation is no problem it? Have you experienced any incompatibility? Gnrale The configuration is easy? The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
Trouble-free installation, XP (old pc) and Vista. No incompatibility including OS (tested on Mac).

The hardware config is simple: two volume knobs and gnral mic. Soft least friendly: menus Droulez boring presets for guitar, bass and vox. In addition, it is visually riquiqui (size of windows requires), so glasses for everyone! Everything is very intuitive (back in the menu gnral to try to find the last used preset), but it does seem to have corrected the POD version.

Simulations: LINE6 big stuff, so normment preset guitar, a little less for the bass and one for voice qq, combinations abound amps, speaker cabinets, effects ... but NOT ALWAYS SOUNDS THE HEIGHT! Especially having APRS Discoveries Guitar rig, and another type vst Ampeg ...
A lot of line losses, then! Let's say that we must take time to test those usable once this work is, quite a roll.
That said, fewer choices in the simulation, but better sound quality would not it smarter t from line6?

OVERALL OPINION

How long you use it and what is the particular feature you like best and least? Have you tried many other models before acqurir? How do you report qualitprix ? With the exprience, you do again this choice? * ...
Using Toneport GX 1 year, 6 months UX1. My Premire audio interfaces, no regret or worry too much after all. on the other hand, it is clear that one must necessarily go beefier ds that progresses computer music (MIDI, conversion srieuse more ...)
Most all land, zero crash!
and -: simulation many but ultimately not all used (question of taste, of course ...), a little box toc (super lightweight, rsistant?).
With the exprience? A good choice of OCCAZ (nine is expensive for what it is!). I wonder if a card with better converstisseurs without simulation boards, would not be sufficient, using vst plugins ....

But I recommend this card in its price range and see what is asked Obviously (well-made model, for more go in the studio!), Possibly to go before anything else.

yes

My choice was motivated by the simple concept and practice of the audio interface and software provided for guitarists.

UTILIZATION

The driver is not stable and crashes are frequent, worse I wanted to use this sound card with another modeling software more powerful and impossible to run my sequencer simultaneously! It's either one or the other and each time the card crashes, I have to redefine the driver (ASIO). I have not found a solution to this problem for now but that is glaring is the lack of power of the UX1.

I can record a track at a time.
Latency is large enough (44.5 ms) in standard setting I can still reduce it to about half which is quite satisfactory, but it is the fairest and solely for the use of POD and a record at a time. Anyway I always hang I record an echo, and yet the POD FARM does not look too resource intensive.

On the POD Farm, it is very easy to use the models are quite convincing. s

GETTING STARTED

Installation is easy, it remains to make the adjustment with the sequencer.


OVERALL OPINION

I use it for six months

I could test the PEAVEY ReValver and POD Farm can get dressed but not all the same price range. The UX1 is clearly aimed at amateur ...
Is that I like most is the ease of use, good quality recordings, you connect, play, great.

Is my least favorite: the lack of stability Latency hang recording, The case of the sound card is the epitome is that we should not do, flashy, quality Manufacturing disgusting! GUI software POD Farm looks like a toy.
The value for money is not bad but we pay particular software to the detriment of the quality of the sound card.
If I had to buy one, I'll try to find an equivalent of best quality and with soft leaves separated from the interface to be more expensive.

5 / 10 software nice but mediocre sound card.
