- What software do you use most often?
I usually struggle with my Audacity (free and simple ^ ^)

ZERO latency! This is the big advantage of such a product. No latency, direct a play with an army behind the simulation, the must.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
I have the UX2 since last Thursday.

- What is so special that you like most and least?
Very nice design, plastic enclosure look as strong, but I would have preferred metal. The knobs seem solid and strong, then the two illuminated VU meters, it is very beautiful (especially the part where the TP is plunged into darkness ^ ^). It is an object useful for recording a "component found in the moment" with a microphone + an electric guitar plugged along, up Laying out his compositions.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I had before the Toneport GX, but I was disappointed. For the simple reason that a single guitar input, for me it was too poor (the budget was there for many), and I think that I was not quite ready to move in this area for recording. I missed many months, I thought about it, and on the advice of friends, I saved and I finally bought.

- How would you rate the quality / price?
I bought € 170. It's expensive, but I think the investment is worth it.

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes, I preferred to reinvest again in the UX2 the GX example.

- What characteristics have motivated your choice?
The need for an analog / digital interface to record guitars with superior performance at the microphone on my sound card

- What is your config (Motherboard / CPU / Ram / Hard ,...)?
Pentium dual core, Windows XP

- Which instruments and systems (console, preamp, DTD ...) you use it and how connections? ...
I use the XLR or Jack connectors to record voice, guitar and bass

UTILIZATION

Occasionally the error message but without consequences

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
Not really useful because it plug'n'play.

-The installation is done it without problems?
Yes and no ableton live refused to settle down but I do not need it.

GETTING STARTED

- The drivers are stable?
Yes. But as is the usb drivers xp looks alone

Any editor is the case (specify in the settings windows as the registration is to source the UX2 and not the microphone of the sound card).

No

OVERALL OPINION

Since more than 6 months

The +: one branch, we play and hop.On happens to be good config (I managed to approach the sound of TOOL by putting 2 amps heads! ... I mean approaching
Facility: I have my 2 + 1 jack microphone jack instrument continuously.
Either I plug a SM57 + Senheizer for a decision before my Marshall, a vocal microphone (Tbone).

The -: case very "cheap" and I think poor quality preamp.
GOLD pack with the best simus (Diezel, etc.) that is much too expensive.
Some effects not very successful.
I have not tried anything else because I wanted the line6 for simulations and be able to play without turning on the tube amp when my wife and next reading!

Value for money very good
yes I will ever be the choice for the type of use described above and as I'm not crazy about the art of home-studio. Now for the semi-pro it is clear that it is better to move on (RME, etc. ..)

By combining a track "real" guitar (amp socket SM57) + 1prise "virtual amp" by doubling them, I can sound nice compared to the means at my disposal.

OVERALL OPINION

For those who want to find good sounds of guitar and bass amp and bypassing micro c top! The software supplied with gear box and super full and qqs time you find your sound.
You can stemming what happens on my website: http / / www.hsbox.fr all guitars and bass are done with this card.
on the other hand to record with this card is micro average but it does what is asked. And she saw the price even more!

(Originally written by jool hobbit/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
I bought it thinking it would come in very handy to make quick demos.

It has the connections I was looking for, authentic guitar and bass sounds in every music style, vocals, etc.

I use it for demo tapes and it does a good job.

I have a Dual Core computer with 2 GB Ram and I haven't had a problem.

Line 6 is the best at guitar simulation!

Some presets are stunning!

UTILIZATION

1 - Install.

2 - Connect.

3 - Play.

Take a quick look at the PDF user's manual, update the drivers... Everything goes sweet!

PS: don't forget to disable the sound card of the computer.

GETTING STARTED

- Two simultaneous recording channels.

- Very stable, almost perfectly stable if you configure your computer properly.

- Virtually no latency.

OVERALL OPINION

I've owned it for two years and I love it's ease of use and the guitar simulations. You'll quickly find the sound you need and they all sound very authentic... it's stunning!

It was conceived for musicians who want to jam and record with their PC and refuse to go through the hassle of long amp miking sessions, which end up in lousy results (due to lack of knowledge and adequate gear).

Pros:

- authentic simulations (guitar, bass, preamps)

- Possibility to increase the amp number

- Easy to use, even for DAW beginners

- Amazing Gearbox and Podfarm software tools.

- Value for money

- Very reliable and frequently updated drivers.

- Line 6 professionalism

Cons:

- The output converters are obviously not the best on the market. I just bought an RME Fireface 400 and it unveiled a totally new world to me (but then again the price isn't the same).

- Cheap plastic housing.

- No MIDI

- Quality of some effects.

The value for money is great. You'll be able to quickly record bass, guitar and vocal parts that sound authentic.

Check some demos I made using only this sound card:

www.myspace.com/goodchlorine

Guitar, bass and vocals were recorded with the Gearbox software. I used a SM57 for vocals (connected directly to the preamp of the sound card).

Ableton Live was also included. I heard it's a great sequencer but I never used it.

I wouldn't buy it again just because I don't buy the same product twice........
