PROBLEM RECORDING FROM POD UX2 TO COMPUTER

support@line6.com — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:48:20 GMT

I have installed all disc,s (pod farm ver. 1 livelite7, riffworks, reason adapted) i have completed all product activates, and updates apart for pod farm 1.00 to 1.11, this has failed in spite of 3 attempts, i have sound through the headphone socket on the pod and also from the pod via my amp. But have yet to find any way of recording to my computer.

Can you help me with simple instruction on how to check my installation, i do not want to use the pod as my normal sound card.

UX2 and Foot Controllers

support@line6.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:35:29 GMT

I was just looking at the foot controllers available. When looking at the compatibility tables I found that there was no mention of the UX2. So I'd like to know whether this means none of the foot controllers are compatible? or was there just no data? or will I have to find an alternative...

Furthermore, I have read in places it is possible to "assign" "any footswitch" to POD Farm, now i have tried and tried but have had no success. Are there footswitches in particular? or is there something specific i need to do? I would love to see the process described to me rather than just being told to "Assign" stuff.

Cheers.

Error trying to return model packs

support@line6.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:21:51 GMT

When trying to return the model pack bundle I purchased last night, I get the following error:

"Transaction Failed

Reason: (code 80003024) Server has nothing to do for this license key."

then some stuff about disabling virus scanners and pop-up blockers, which I tried.

I went through the full process a couple times, making sure I used the correct key and such.

POD Farm and windows 7 64 bit with SONAR 8.5.1 64 bit

support@line6.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:04:44 GMT

I have a UX2 and POD Farm with all model packs. It works fine in Windows 7 64 with a 32 bit host(minihost) however, in SONAR 64 it has a strange problem where when you select a preset, some of the elements(such as amps or effects) are not enabled even though they indicate enabled and even if you disable and reenable(clicking the "power" button on the display for that amp or effect) the amp or effect don't work. I have tried this with bitbridge(native to SONAR) and Jbridge(another 32 to 64 bit vst wrapper). Any ideas?

2nd question: Is there a native 64 bit version of PODfarm coming? Thx.

Best,

Andy

How to connect acoustic guitar with built-in piezo pickup and preamp to TonePort UX2

support@line6.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:11:55 GMT

Hi,

I experience a problematic performance of my piezo-acoustic guitar with built-in active preamp/eq when trcording through instrument input on my TonePort UX2. The sound is thin, full of harmonics and subtle resonances, and I can hear more of a staccato than a melodic string sound. I/ve tried everything: changing the preamp's battery, checking out cables, changing strings, picks etc - all of them with no effect. Yesterday by chance I came up with an idea to plug the guitar into line input at the back of my UX2 and the guitar finally started to perform as it should! The difference is huge.

And here comes a question: how should such a guitar be connected to UX2? Should I use front Instrument normal input, or stick to back Line input?

And maybe the Instrument Input is corrupted and makes also my electric guitar and bass sound unnatural? Is there any way to check it out in terms of sound quality (No, I don't have any other guitar interface to compare with)?

More info:

- I record through Gearbox with ALL the amps/mics/cabinets/effects off

- I keep levels securely under peaks, no possibility of distortion

- Recording is done with the same software and settings in both cases (instrument normal/line in)

- I/ve also checked my piezo-acoustic guitar through Instrument pad input, as it has lower sensitivity. The sound was slightly better than the one recorded through normal instrument input but worse than line input option

the pickup/preamp/eq built into my acoustic guitar is signed by Shadow, should work well at least.

So, to put it another way:

- how should I connect acoustic guitar with piezo pick-up and active preamp to UX2;

- how can I know if the UX2 Instrument input doesn't lower also the quality of my electric guitar and bass sound?

Thx in advance for help,

Mike

I confirmed the address on the site of ilok.

However, the problem cannot be solved.

Please teach how to do.

UX1 Recording Acoustic

support@line6.com — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:56:14 GMT

Hello,

I have recorded with my acoustic using the 1/4 inch standard input but it sounds rather electonic.. I'm not sure if it's the pickup which is a piezo or if there is a better way to record. My Strat sounds great though with no issues there.. Can I use a mic in the xlr port or can I use an acoustic directly connected using an xlr output? What type of mic would be recommended? Also I see that the UX1 does not supply phantom power can a separate power supply be used? Any info on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Bob

UX2 Pod Farm

support@line6.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:28:35 GMT

Hi,

I was wondering about installing Pod Farm 1.11.0 (L6TWXY Version 4.22.0) on 2 of my computers. If i do so, will they both allow me to authorize/use the same Studio UX2 on both of them if i activate it on both? Also, since I've already activated it/installed it on this one, but it won't run it garageband. When I open podfarm in garageband, it says no authorized device at the bottom. But the stand alone Podfarm says my Ux2 is connected. If it helps, I'm running a mac with OS X 10.4.11 on it.

Thanx.

Question re: Tone Port to iLok transfer

support@line6.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:46:47 GMT

I can't find a straight answer for this anywhere.

I have a Tone Port DI, which came with the GearBox Gold bundle. I got the free upgrade to Pod Farm (Platinum). I have other audio interfaces, so the Tone Port is just a big dongle, and I would much rather use my iLok for Pod Farm (which I use as a plugin, never standalone).

Exactly how much would it cost to transfer the PodFarm Platinum license to my iLok?
