Studio UX2 and Pod Farm - Freezes my computer

support@line6.com — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 07:32:25 GMT

I was trying to install my new Studio UX2 and Pod Farm.

I downloaded the latest Pod Farm for Snow Leopard and it keeps coming up with an error message:

The System extension "/System/Library/Extensions/Line6Audio.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it or contact the product's vendor for an update.

What does it mean? I downloaded the latest driver as well from the "Downloads" and it came up with the same message.

Also, as soon as I plug in the Studio UX2, it freezes my system straight and I have to Force Shut Down.

Can anyone tell me why it happens?

Thank you

Gearbox plug-in not working in QAM Promise

support@line6.com — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 05:25:54 GMT

Howdy. I'm running a Guitar Port, Line Monkey 1.31, Gearbox 3.7 and QAM Promise 4.60. When I activate an auxilary channel in Promise and select the any of the VST Gearbox plug-ins (Mono, Mono Stereo, Stereo), and then go into the plug-in UI, I can see the Gearbox UI as I'd expect, and can use it just as if I was running Gearbox directly through my Guitar Port. However, for whatever reason, the plugin itself is not actually working - when I select any tone, or tweak with the effects and settings of a tone, it has no change whatsoever in the tone that Promise plays back (which is the tone and effects that I used to originally record the guitar signal).

The other plug-ins seem to work just fine in Promise. The one thing I'm wondering about is the fact that the Gearbox plug-in UI does have a message in the bottom right half that says:

READY TO ACTIVATE:

Line 6 Monkey will run and activate for you. Want to purchase? Click Purchase button in Line 6 Monkey.

Do I need to purchase Gearbox separately as a plug-in?

Thanks.

pod farm and reaper

support@line6.com — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:06:28 GMT

reaper recognizes podfarm in my vst and when I turn on my fx (green) and add podfarm I get complete silence and cannot adjust sound fx. I add another fx and uncheck podfarm and I can work my fx and adjust, then I turn on podfarm and get silence again, no possibility to adjust. What's up with this

UX1 Stalling Propellerhead Record on Launch

support@line6.com — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:46:07 GMT

Hi Guys,

I’m pretty unsatisfied here and completely under awed with with my UX1 so far...

My intention was to initially use the UX1 as a dongle to expand the Line 6 amps in Record but I have several issues. I shall sent these out.

1) I now have the UX1 up and running, but if it is plugged in Record stalls when it gets to the launch splash screen. It then proceeds to crash my Mac entirely. If I unplug the UX1 Record launches fine.

2) There were not any installation instructions in the package I received, although I have so far pretty much worked it out.

3) There is now a hum on my right hand M-Audio BX5a Monitor, this is new and I am worried it may be due to...

4) When the UX1 crashed my Mac the first time I had my Lexicon Alpha plugged in and monitors on in anticipation of the great sounds I was going to get with my new UX1 and Record. However what I did get was a very loud crack which seems to have blown the inner workings of the Alpha, and possibly damaged the Monitors!!

So presently I cannot use the UX1 to listen to Record and my existing soundcard is blown.

Pod Farm issue

support@line6.com — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:39:59 GMT

Hello,

I downloaded Pod Farm and it is preventing me from using the Model Packs that I have purchased and that are available in my POD X3.

I cannot remove my iLok as I will no longer be able to use much of my software and so I can now no longer use my POD X3.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks

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
