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&#39;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&#39;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&#39;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&#39;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&#39;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&#39;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&#39;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&#39;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&#39;m satisfied.

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

Frankly, it&#39;s a product that has great potential, all sounds good, I expect to see more. (Recording of my components). &#39;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 ^ ^!
