All user reviews for the Line 6 TonePort UX2

Playing for 17 years (Rock and Metal mostly) I also have a recording degree from the "Recording Workshop" in Chillocothe OH

Bought new on Ebay for $200

It's an all in one solution for recording Guitars/Vox/Bass. It works fantastic and stable on windows XP with my recording software (Magix music studio 10). The guitar sounds from Line6 are really good for the price. The unit features sounds from the Bass Pod and also has excellent effect options for vocals. This one unit has easily replaced 10 seperate peices of music gear.

You have to buy additional software to bring the unit up fo the full PODXT (like the guitarport).

Excellent. Modern sound with a vintage look.

This unit is a fantastic deal if you have a newer computer to run it on. If you can get live drum tracks into your computer then you can do high end studio work on your home PC (with a good quality condenser mic for vocals).

See the website for line6 characteristics.
I use it as more than prampli sound card with a guitar, bass and microphones.

UTILIZATION

Installation in the noize fingers
I breanch my sound card in the output of the TonePort, no problem with the sound card, I also test the TonePort no sound card is nikel no worries!

GETTING STARTED

I used to prampli for my instrument / mic and all is going perfectly, no latence.Je board not test with a max of tracks, but with an audio track drums + bass in an audio track and a microphone and a guitar in the live branch TonePort .... no point, no cracking, it's good.

OVERALL OPINION

So say anything for the simulations is of happiness is the same as the GuitarPort for guitars, the bass is good too and trs for voice is just terrible!
I am a singer with my REPEAT this after noon, we were both connected to the TonePort (guitar + vocals) and frankly I stayed on the Q!
I used an ART preamp, I'll sell it.
I was nervous about the cot toy, but it's not serious, it sounds and it sounds good!
I also know the guitarRig .... and line6 product is much higher.

I would on this view in a while, when I pushed a little machine.

Easily record a guitar that has t the purpose of my buying a UX2 consulting advice and considering the price I opt for a good quality price
I use it for 24 hours and j'au dja found mutiple uses, on a PC or recorded with multitrack numrique,
my config: P4 3GH, MSI motherboard 945Pneo, 1024 ram, sound card Creative Audigy Platinum (THE FIRST) and Cubase SX 1
j'utilis 16 track recorder Korg numeriqued1600 MkII

UTILIZATION

Installling two-CD plus update on the net, as soon bought and dj of updates available, but site in English
not encountered by incompatibility against the prog comes with (Ableton) which acts as multitrack digital audio is not great and rather complex book with DMOS not convincing trs , but hey I'm working with Cubase for years and the comparison is for cubase,
APRS 24 hours only problem I can not save a house I must pass through the SPDIF output,
manual does not exist it is all in the online help is in English ...

GETTING STARTED

Gearbox software on top there are any amps pramp possible, as images are added and remove his pedal effects are placed the microphone position the number of speakers, short and this time a child 4 years to use it

OVERALL OPINION

Have a good intuitive software that is not all the most interresting is the sound, and although it dchire, the presence, effects, and especially the gain of a real tube amp I was found JMP1 think my marshall is good for a snack I had not found a gear that makes a point of warm colors, aggressive and clear. if you are short of the pop rock of hardcore, blues reagee of metal, the zouk last all music with guitar home studio is the stuff you need
I quickly over a micro esay evec B2 pro voice is not bad at all I'm waiting to see a test with the singer of the group

Use with portable packard bell celeron M 1.5 GHZ 1024MB

UTILIZATION

The installation is made without problem, but here it is:
Incompatible with my Packard Bell Celeron m
and yes some manufacturers still manage to get us out of the interfaces that are not compatible with all current ordis ... fortunately, when buying a printer was not as much shit!
I tried everything and installation of computer rerereinstallation
Increasing the memory of the computer
Purchase a powered USB hub ... etc. ..
I asked at line 6 .. did not know ... brief

GETTING STARTED

I never stopped having crackles and pops quite violent intenpestifs,
So I never could properly use this sound card.
if not, a priori, the latency is zero with the effects of Line 6 gearbox

OVERALL OPINION

2 weeks of hassle and exchange against a m-audio fast track pro, 100fois quieter and more efficient ... whew

- What characteristics have motivated your choice?
What motivated my choice is the fact that it is the line 6 and the price!

- For what purpose?
recording of folk guitar and electric bass and microphone singing.

- What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?
Motherboard: Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe
Processor: Athlon XP 2.4Ghz
RAM: 1 GB DDR3200
Disk: 120GB Maxtor Diamond more and Seagate 40GB

- Which instruments and systems (console, preamp, DTD ...) you use it and how connections? ...
Instrument: Folk small STAGG, CORT G254 Electric and one for bass Epiphone
Microphone: Sennheiser E835 for the song and see the same for taking the folk,
Console: Berhinger UB802
Sound Card: Audiophile 2496

UTILIZATION

- The installation is done it without problems?
Before ordering my TonePort, I downloaded line6 Monkey to see if my config. OK ... was at the installation is I had no problems ....
You install with the CD provided and follow the instructions ....

I encountered is no incompatibility Nickel everything!!

I is not seen man and honestly I got used without problem as one hour after I already commançais to record a demo .... Audiofanzine

Everything is clear and accurate net!!

GETTING STARTED

- The drivers are stable? They are often updated?
Currently no problem of stability, with Line 6 Monkey you put the updated drivers directly ...

- What software do you use most often?
I'm running Cubase SX3 and no bug ...

- What you get lag?
Latency ...? I do not even put the question asked, puic I did not even pay attention ...... I feel it's my pod 2 in the processing latency in .... I does not exist, at least I do not feel, and better.

- How many tracks you get to record / play time? ...
For the record, I did the test: electric guitar and vocal microphone. Result I have my two separate tracks (having first selected the right input)
At the reading, I tested at least 10 VST audio and MIDI tracks ....
And NO problem!

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
I use it since Saturday, March 11, it's true it's a bit quick to notice but for now I will not let go (the TonePort) I am amazed! that's why ...
- What is so special that you like most and least?
Plus: Ben ...... or was it for me before a mission to record the bass and the microphone singing. I get a bad signal from the start (BU 802) and I had to rework what I recorded my guns and I record sound after some hours .....
With the TonePort I take my bass, I select the right amp and etc. ..... hop recording with a good signal now ...
Balance, I do not waste time and my sound suits me perfectly !!!!!!!!
The same goes for singing, pre-amp is terrible, I hear me in another dimension lol !!!!!

The Cons: You'll laugh, but there have just two things that bothers me .... is the fact that at the selection of a preset and while it is not checked to be found there ...
The second is the fact that you can not scroll through the presets in one mouse click, with two small up and down arrows. His would have been easier and faster than scrolling tab by tab and once it opened, and looked well above the rack in which I am currently preset to avoid calling the same ...... .

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Well this is the first, I do not know if there was a ton but hey .....

- How would you rate the quality / price?
Nothing to say he did not "screwed" us ...

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
I take it back without any problems ...
One thing I regret is that it is not left earlier. His would have saved me many hours lost ....

I always drive myself pleindre the quality of my recordings.
As for the guitar, went to, I have a v-amp, but for the bass and singing, ba c'tait pretty bad ...
I made the discovery of this tool by accident (I clicked the wrong place ^ ^).
And I said, "is the Holy Grail".
Indeed, the TonePort UX2 can record guitar, bass and also the song!

How it works
Ba is simple, you plug in the USB bte After installing the drivers, made the updates and everything. The food is UX2 USB, but also records through it, because it also serves as a sound card. (No more soundcard Intgr ^ ^)

I use it on an athlon 3200 +, 2GB DDR Corsair, 3 SD and 2 Sataya 1UDMA 133/7200.
Et ca train ... .. When I n'eteins not the internet, will know why ...
Turn off the internet once, it will run INPEC, I can launch any application, from the moment the Internet is not put out will row ca .....

I record the guitar, bass and singing with the TonePort. I'm all read up to 5 tracks + 1 recording, and so far no pbm of the cot.

UTILIZATION

Installation is simple, I install monkey before the product, then I install the drivers before connecting. No worries and no imcompatibilit.

Well, after it must be configured for its recording software prfr. The is a manual would have AIM, because all must at the very bottom line of the site to find a manual 6 pr understand how to configure the beast with its software, and this report has the opportunity, there adobe audition is nothing to ... Well, ba as usual, I'm all a resourcefulness and AC did. It may even spin when a sheet, at least pr nozzles computer, everyone is not computer.

GETTING STARTED

The drivers turn your impeccable (yet happy ^ ^).

Okay, now I will talk about how it sounds, not yet possible because people say great things, probably because the questionnaires Audiofanzine not ask, because it is not a Whereas amp or another ...
I often refer to the stuff I own and I'm an all-tube possd H & K tube 50, line 6 spider II, and the v-amp 2.

Then the TonePort is:
-18 Amp guitar, 5 bass amp and preamp 4.
- As many firms that go with it.
- A great big rack of effects (damn well better visually than the v-amp.)
GUITAR:

CLEAN
Here, when you plug the guitar is put into a clean one takes preset. (Mr pif to clean, I have them hollow nose ^ ^)
Well, it sounds, no pbm, must say ave tons of reverb delay chorus that there was over, I would have been hurt (although the vamp ...).
I have AIM preset Blues ballad, great, I finished the evening makes typing a little blues with a low battery (made with TonePort ^ ^)
No, frankly, the clean is really good, the effects fits the whole.
Must be said, to ring in degeulasse clean, even when you have to go, none of my amps has never sonn in degeulasse clean.

CRUNCH
I am not too stretched out the section, and I do not use too much crunch sounds.
Anyway, I was not hurt at first parrut around, taking a few presets ...

DISTO
And is the drama ...
At first glance, the presets parraissent-apart queslques some okay-all worse than each other. Winded, or too firm, it's really not top.
Well, the presets the v-amp distortion, it was the same, but I quickly found my sound.
I had no t used to that from line 6.
The, even by a config similar to the one I have in the studio (+ JCM 900 Cab Marshall) on the Marshall JCM 800 cab, ba no, it sounds not the same thing, it's bad, winded, flat and soft.
The amp is all the more sluggish than the other and the cab 3 / 4 are nothing in disto ....
I just barely identify after more than a week how to get to sort this out to make it sound! Now I'm starting to find my sound, I finally had some appreciation of the scale, the possibilities of the TonePort.
For brevity, the cross and the banner to find out how rule, but once you get there, you get the hair really sounds!

LOW

Hop, I plug my bass at the amp pif "eighties" and hop it sounds big and round!
It is relatively easy to find a sound that sounds good at the same time is low, right ^ ^. It is even less when chaint sonn to a guitar.
However, to find my sound, ca t has a little more difficult. even less when I struggle to scratch, but to find a sound that suits me, that sounds big and round just right, with the personality mix of resort and just what it is also necessary (not a bass figuration, as in most of the rock band), I spent a little while.

VOICE
I have not really had the opportunity to test the voice on a mix. But hey, was first seen, it sounds good. The 4 preamp do their jobs, then the effects fits well, finally I'm satisfied.

I have no acoustic electric, so good, it will be for next time.

Frankly, it's a product that has great potential, all sounds good, I expect to see more. (Recording of my components). 'Edit if I think.

OVERALL OPINION

Well, voila, nine for 200, b is more than good.
Soundcard + amp + guitar amp lctrique acoustic guitar + bass + amp + preamp effects.
The report qualitprix is ​​final.

I like the I do not like it above ... but all just for kidding.

"I likes the meters is Zolie, it shines.
"I do not like the meter saw, it looked shit at night ... ^ ^

Voila, it was really are interested ^ ^
Mata no minna ^ ^!

2 XLR inputs with power supply fantme (used in Stereo or spares thanks to software provided with the interface) & 2 gain knobs, 2 instrument inputs (a padd e, not the other), 2 vumtres vintage, 1 headphone, 1 monitor output Stereo, 1 x USB, etc..
it works with simulation software type sound pod.

I use AKG C2000B microphone or a pair of samson c01, a PC with Cubase SX3.

UTILIZATION

I struggled to run the sound card for a simple reason: there is no manual included with the interface.
I appeal to users of the forum Audiofanzine to get out.
In fact, I'm not used sound cards that work through software, I always boss ddies interface with the recording.
the big diffrence with a normal sound card is that line6 offers in addition to simulation models of major brands for decision-guitar or bass, and cuts & all kinds of effects for decision-vocals, guitar acoustics, etc..
use is therefore using this app on which you must choose between the card we use DSIR.

APRS, the use is very simple, the software does not take much cpu, and you can bypass the simulations to have a basic sound.

GETTING STARTED

Dcrochent drivers when I go to another software without having closed the first.
it's a little teacher, but you get used to quickly close an application before starting another.
cubase sometimes tell me that the sound card does not work, it is sufficient to close other applications of its reprciser & DSIR that the driver used in the config app.

for the moment, I felt absolutely no latency, works perfectly with Cubase SX3. same simulations amp loads effects do not cause latency.

I use it to catch in its homestudio: vocals, guitar live.
I will test it with an ending for bass & keyboard.
your exact trs is good for this type of hardware.

for now, I did try once to use the micro simultanment 2 tracks 2 tracks for spares, but I was not Russian. it will take me to revisit the issue, but I think it's a problem setup cubase & not the TonePort.
otherwise, in Stereo, and Mono, whether taken for mic or instrument, worked perfectly.

OVERALL OPINION

The point of this little ngatif sound card is that it does not possde MIDI input / output, but line6 will come out with a version Intgr midi keyboard, which I strongly believe, will carton if the product remains in the same price.

the highlight is that it possde 2 XLR inputs & 2 instrument inputs with a USB connection for less than 200!

the amp simulation is gniale to play electric guitar or bass 2am 'without rveiller neighbors!

dcrochage of the drivers is a bit Gnant. has just snapped my speakers every time, that's what scared me the most.
Briefly, the gain TonePort be more stable.

this is not the general hardware, manufacturing is plastic, we feel that it is a cheap product, but since I have (about 4 months), I had no fault or dtrioration of hardware.

INTERESTED other point is its design: it is REALLY a nice interface, its two vumtres extras are vintage style & work perfectly well with the latency of real vumtres needles.
it does not take much space but is not rack, which is not too serious for me.

sound level, I am REALLY happy with the TonePort, catches his own & do not suffer any blows.
I plan to buy a micro prampli type presonus BLUETUBE dp to give a little color & body as this card remains trs transparent & neutral.

short, I am delighted with my purchase plutt Despite the difficulties in the boot, but it's true that if I could, I would have expected the version with midi keyboard Intgr.
was still a good sound card for its price & I highly recommend, especially for guitarists who can not afford to use an amplifier to make their models in homestudio.

The features that pushed me to buy this product is the number of its pharaonic. I knew there were plenty, but then I plugged in my tone port, I completely haluciné!
I use to record my compositions.
I used a PC 2.0 Ghertz with 448Mo of RAM. For the ram, at least 512 is better. I do not encounter any problems, but the software told me that he is not happy but no repercussions on the sound ...
This card is for his singing and bass guitar also piano. Battery does not make great ...

UTILIZATION

Installation is no problem. There was just that windows wanted to install it even after you have installed the drivers thanks to the driver provided on CD. Then maybe you will not have this problem. But if it happens to you you just give the file a line 6. He will find the drivers you have installed. Then that is happiness.

The use requires a little practice it's really TRESTR full so to find its sound (Veronica?) You will find a little by yourself, as man, but good just to be notified at least to understand. It's simple really!

GETTING STARTED

The update of the Tone Port is online. No worries to get to the right and left by eating virus. Here you line 6 will install software directly with the tone port. This software will allow you to update your stuff. At first it was a little long because there are several days to update. But after I know too the frequency of updates.

Time is 14ms latense, dc practically nothing.

For the software you use, you look it was pretty well explained on the website of line 6

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a week now. So you tell me it's short pr judge. But I can tell you that already in one week I managed to find stuff really simpa.

Yet this sound card is pretty special. I strongly advise all the days of guitar, bass, piano or singing. It really is a tool that allows you to do stuff very good.

There after no use to think that you can save it as a studio if you use it like me for a purpose strictly personal.

At least for me, I'm really happy with my purchase. I think we can do better, but you will never find such a condencé of material. This little box is a real studio. So you can choose amp, cabinet, effects ...

Not really if you have a super good amp, and you have not bcp effects. This little box will give you full of his different ... I promise you will not be disappointed

I wanted to connect an electric guitar and an acoustic electro on the pc without me because I take the head in Mao beginners. I do not know if the TonePort can be used in the pro environment, but in any case, there emerges a varieties of sounds really bluffing. As an amateur I am well on my expense. I replay two hours a day from scratch in one month so that I have a blast with
And everything goes! Funky, Rock, etc. I tried to voice a little and feel as the potential of the beast.

My config is lgre:
1GI ram
Proc 2gh
2x120gi SD
I use Ableton (included).

UTILIZATION

Installation:
No problem if you have strict indications. I do not like too much the fact of having an account with CRER Line6 rcuperer for the maj because when you lose the password ... not to find it empty!! but hey I am a tench for a.

Incompatibility: None

Configuration: no worries trs is clear except that it should be understood that this card is 'independent' and therefore if we want to hear the sound ... you need a headphone or a system that's ... and not like me trying to get the sound from the sound card's internal pc ... there are days like that or I do not get it all, I still laugh.

Manuel?? there is no written but in pdf. The update 'force' to open a new pdf pretty damn explaining the operation of the beast. Finally, for someone like me who likes to have a little book (so tiny that it is) to bone up quiet during my breaks ... I stayed on my hunger. Dtail quickly forgotten.

GETTING STARTED

Drivers:
He jumped trs but rarely since the days I feel that the problem has disappeared.

Latency: ultra low or even nonexistent. Trs good.

What software do you use most often?
Ableton (included), guitar rig not go wrong (I wanted to test other simulator).

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it? September 2006 2 hours a day

What is the particular feature you like most? I totally forgot I ever did, and finally the zic.
... The least? I regret only one thing: to have packs supplmentaires be delivered by default. I still wonder if I'll invest.

How do you report qualitprix? Sidr and Sidral

Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ... no hsitation yes.

If you need a sound card all in one, it's probably the right choice. This card provides a capable sound card ASIO (almost) properly manage the recording guitars and bass and vocals.
The ability to connect a condenser microphone (the presence of the 48v power supply) was a key point for me, the Guitar Port - the same manufacturer - which I had previously not allowing this kind of connection.
PC Config: Athlon 2GHz, 1.5GB ram, 200GB disk. As the standard.
Connected to the output to monitors Samson Resolv 40A.
The connection is complete (still missing the MIDI in / out / thru) and the meters in front are friendly (but show a certain inertia).

UTILIZATION

Installation is a breeze. Note that there may be conflicts of USB, but it is not unique to the Line6 UX2 but the motherboard or the OS most of the time.
The manual is almost non-existent. Besides it will be going very well.

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are stable and regularly updated (via Line6 Monkey) but requires an Internet connection on the PC on which the UX2 is installed. Latency is average. With a buffer to 256 we get 10ms input latency and 15ms output. Sufficient for recording in real time.
I regularly use from 15 to 20 tracks simultaneously without any real problem. It becomes complicated when there are many VST and / or VSTi. 5 tracks beyond the direct effects monitoring in CubaseSX - if only one uses VST (i) a small amount of memory - becomes a problem and must juggle the "freeze".
Guitar simulation side, I stay on familiar ground (eg user GuitarPort). At first, the sounds appear to be excellent. In fact, the presets are inmixables. Too many effects kills the effect. The distortions are correct, but lower than other products (NI GuitarRig2 for example). Adding packages (paid on the Line6 site) compensates somewhat weak simulations delivered basis. For bass, that's okay too, but do not expect to hear the "baoum" who spin the guts with the simulation of the Ampeg. Amplification of the voice side, I am a bit skeptical. On paper, some pre-amps border on the legend, in practice it is less spectacular. Perhaps this is due to the microphones used ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 6 months. The advantages are many: all in one, good build quality, scalable ... but want to do everything, do everything you end up moderately. Simulations (amp / speakers / effects) guitars and basses are decent but not stunning (over time) and pre-amps are cheap votes.
That said, less than 200 €, it's already a miracle to have it all in a small black box and red and there is very little equivalent products on the market. For smaller budgets, like me and you can be, it remains the best quality / price ratio.

USB 1.1 external sound card
2 mic inputs
Guitar / bass input: 1 input high impedance and a normal (not possible to use two at the same time)
Stéréro 2 line inputs and outputs
SPDIF
Footswitch jacks (for connecting a MIDI foot controller)
Meters
Despite all these entries, we can not only use two at a time ... but hey ca the damage anyway.

UTILIZATION

Installation without concern initially
Just the inscription on the internet and got a bit confused (3min), but otherwise fine.

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are stable and not known about the latency problem, even if it is greater than that of my audiophile firewire M AUDIO.
Moreover, I use it to mix my projects (more efficient: Firewire). In fact I prefer to use my Line6 as préamp'pour voice, my bass or my Triton rack, and connect the audio outputs to my M.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 3 months and complete my M audio very well, which is free of MIC, guitar and modeling.
On modeling, doing very little guitar I will not speak the dessus.Quant on bass, the first reason why I bought it, I think the offer a little low compared to guitares.J 'essentially uses the Ampeg SVT, the other does not really suit me because I am beaucouip of slap and tapping and the only happening to properly render the harmonics, I think, in relation to its medium-acute than j 'giving back fond carefully packed all the serious ça.Même if after many hours of réglages.Les factory presets are not great, but it is well known in AC Line 6.Sinon It is true that every amp and HP has its color which gives him, even though I think many possibilities to sculpt his sound (...)
When the different preamps (type Neve, Avalon and others it seems) and they are pretty good and really does color and different dynamics depending on the model, it was my surprise, I am going to use them even now Live for my benefits as technicien.Travaillant on small tables entry type and Yamaha MG consors, these preamps truly transfigure my sound, I can easily bring out a voice and sound even in small places not very well soundproof! And not just voice, an amplifier containing an SM57 for example, is highlighted by one of these models.
This is a somewhat unusual use of this card but it works!!
No need to type presonus preamp tube, this can blithely replace a preamp such as in Mindprint (transistor) when not afford it!
CA SONNE!
We must of course take time to set all this but an interesting solution for Live.
The effects are also relatively good, the reverb and delay sound better than what effect nimporte analog on tables, their qualities are more similarities to those of numerical tables and other kinds Yamha 01V96! In Live they are sufficiently accurate and efficient They surround the voice without distorting or sounding artificial, but use sparingly beautiful! For the studio I do not use them, I use plug-ins to the mix.
The compressor is simple, but works much without more, is more an effect guitares.Les chorus, flanger and other effects such Leslie, equalizer and saturation are correct.
In short, this card is still a gem to the views of its many, especially, to my knowledge it is the only one to combine all these features! If you need a sound card, preamp, the Line 6 Toneport is for you for a reasonable price!
I still regret one thing above all is that you can not combine several Toneport on a same computer as the Presonus FIREPOD! If a patch was out to fill this gap, I will be filled as more entries and modeling of this quality to be used simultaneously so would make me really service.Avis developers to Line 6 ...

RAS

UTILIZATION

This is the first sound card I use: simply amazing! Simply configure the computer (not rocket science). The functioning of the card and the software comes with no problem.

GETTING STARTED

There's not much to complain about. I've never seen plant for nearly six months of use. I do not have the exact time lag, but it is very acceptable (in fact I do not notice it).
Used with the version of Live Lite (included) is limited number of tracks, but suddenly also very stable.

OVERALL OPINION

In short, almost six months without a cloud with this card.
I'm really happy: a good choice, I think, to start (especially considering the ease of use).
I decided to switch the recorder to the computer hardware with the fear of spending more time in the hacking of the computer to make music. But again it's simple and it is his most important quality: you can plug anything you want and start work within minutes.
I am a guitarist at the base and I could appreciate the variety of sounds available. This wealth is harder to find with a low or a microphone, but you can get decent sound. However, my greatest joy and to pass a synth for the mess, the module.
Well we could dream of a card connector noon, but it is already excellent for its price and offers a lot of possibilities. I do not see why I should not make the same choice ...

What motivated me is the modlisation sounds of guitars, bass and voice, I needed a proper equipment to save the three, by musicians together.

Pentium-IV
-2GB of ram
-Sound Card Creative Audigy Platinum eX

The hardware is plugged in usb and Intgr as cubase vst connection to save the instruments Describes above.

UTILIZATION

Installation without too much problem, to have me back twice, if not, no problem particular, a site well done and useful updates.

GETTING STARTED

This is the problem that begins:

- The line6 driver does not support ASIO, so in cubase is ASIO or line6 and then! Big problem when you chose the line6 driver
- Large latency, and especially cracking: it seeks severely CPU!

I therefore abandoned use of this driver, you can not run both inputs (microphone + intrusion) together without cracking, cubase plant, the CPU is overloaded, it is true that many of my tracks are composed and this automation adds to the consumer market ressources.Cela probably better with some tracks in reading.

OVERALL OPINION

I use that hardware for a few months (actually, I use it just now)

In short, a pleasant complment to easily record the beats bass, guitar and voice, but certainly not a sound card to do things with Cubase labores.

The weak point: sound card too CPU-intensive, to my taste. I'll opt for a zero-latency sound card: M-Audio 1814, or motu ultralite Konnekt24d. But the price is two and a half times lv!

the positive: For the price (about 200) is a good quality prices to record some single track, and sounds of guitars and modlisation (I am not guitarist ...) are good , I love.

I do not have that choice would do because what I record and driver is heavy (lots of tracks cubase, audio and MIDI, VST and effects) and the Line6 x2, do not hold the load.

In short, a pleasant complment to easily record the beats bass, guitar and voice, but certainly not a sound card to do things with cubase labores.

What technical specifications motivated your choice?
I had a Pod XT 6 months, then zoom G9 (excellentissime! but complex), in the meantime I also had a transistor amplifier to amplify the g9 (a piphone I c what else ...) Finally, last I had a fender Rementer GDEC 30. pod xt Plasai bcp me but I had a pblm of compatibility between the USB interface and my motherboard (a7n8xe deluxe) a pblm insiluble known but which gave the "jack carc hook" in the enregistremetn cubase .. . then I had the g9 which has a USB interface compatible ... the foot, a great machine, sounds really lamps (yen 2) but dsrglage ultrathin, who spend hours and trs trs little or no presets subcultured on the net ... too complex!! So then I had the fender g Dec. 30 ... a super clear sound throughout the modlisation a hp and a really simpa connectiqye midi ... but it was too much for me (rhythm box line low ...) finally threw myself into the TonePort esprant I have no problem with the usb and not it works ...

For what purpose?
To register in cubase or another ... but to hear me play and above all, to replace my sound card pci really struggling to avai ... prciser but important thing, I also acquired two 70w studio monitor with 5 hp "and it changes lives! the online cost of monitors with TonePort + stuido replace tr s advantageously games amp ... same dynamic depth of sound, balance of frequencies and especially stro ...

Otherwise, to return to the TonePort, the presets are rotten core ... But I found on the net a zip file containing all the benefits of pod2, pod xt, vetta2, etc. flextone3. And, oh miracle, the majority of them are compatible with TonePort ... So I end up with hundreds of benefits available and I found my happiness.

Recording in cubase is no one bit simpler ... as if avai an amp on a branch line between the external sound card ... latency, ben yen is little or no gender - 8 ms, but ca ca dpends the size of the buffer and therefore wants the power of your proceseur.

Cot Sound: prs be loaded presets qq pod xt c simpelemtn just bluffing, c at least as good as the xt ... and with my studio monitors standard c ... before the headphone ct prettier than the pod on a headphone amp ... now c less beautiful than the TonePort on monitoring: HUGE

UTILIZATION

No one particular branch pblm it works, do not forget to set Windows so that the TonePort itself recognized in both reading and recording ...

GETTING STARTED

J4ai little louse no latency, I never tested but I rarely need more than 8 tracks making only the guitar part and the TonePort sis without any worries.

OVERALL OPINION

I recently dja but spent a lot of hours on it ... compared to what I have essay dja c the best product for my use of homestudiste ... I have a big sound on cubase, and direct costs, the top c ... inconvnient one is just not all tranqporte for group play ... although, the TonePort live on a PA ca do do so, but must walk around with a laptop ... then the advantage over a pod xt, c ben makes it sound card, you just record the guitar, bass and voice ...

I used to use an M Audio Fast Track j'tais pretty good product (no prampli, latency, cheap housing), so I looked for a box mic / guitar prampli phantom power supply and a price acceptable to use complment GR 2.

I use it on a PowerMac G5 2x2GHz, 2GB RAM.

With Shure SM57 or 58, and with my Les Paul through a jack. Headphone output.

UTILIZATION

The installation was without problem except that the CD that came Gearbox quite dated (v 1.x), so I put it to V-day 3.x. Fortunately Monkey software is very well done for and everything is automatic.

No inconsistency, except that the pump housing a lot of juice on the USB 2 and therefore, I have to plug one into the USB port.

Gnrale the config is very simple and it works the first time.

GETTING STARTED

The drivers are stable and many updates.

on the other hand, bad point, there is no plug-in, or plutt have to pay 199 euros to buy more! It hurts. For guitar, not a big deal (how to add effects intrt APRS?) But the voice is a shame. This will require record live. In addition, all effects and the Pod XT simus are not willing, you have to buy packs and more ...

Latency is zero since everything goes through the box is IDAL and much better than a classic case.

Gnial is something to the database of available effects, one can find by title or guitarist and hop in one click was the sound! It's a big advantage over Guitar Rig 2, the community is lacking.

For cons, I find the quality of the effects as good as Guitar Rig 2 or ToneLab Vox ... When I use the simulation Marshall Guitar Rig 2 tural and I find while in Gearbox Submitted, it is clearly less than the original Fidler.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using three short weeks. I find it perfect for the price, you can have no better case as mic / guitar with effects of good quality. Damage against the plug in is paying, if you do not want the guitar, Guitar Rig 2 is INTERESTED in this regard. I also find GR 2 at best made especially distortion and amp Fidler to home (at least for Marshall).

The UX2 is the IDAL to record his voice and his guitar, it's simple, the case is solid, well Designed and ergonomic with the addition of VU meters.

The pramps are really good quality especially for voice.

In short, with this case, we can not regret his purchase!
