Best value:
Excellent
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.
