You really shouldn't be hearing any latency when you open an use podfarm with the UX2 -- don't monitor your guitar signal in cubase, just monitor it through Podfarm and you really should be getting next to zero latency -- this is the miracle of "tone direct" monitoring.

When you run it this way, you should be able to run just using the line inputs in windows without any other software necessary. If you're actually hearing latency using the tonedirect monitoring, then I'd suggest dialing down the buffer size in the L6 control panel.  If that doesn't work, post again and give us more details about your setup.

Oh this is an easy one. Go to All Programs/Line6/Tools/Line6 Audio-Midi Devices. On the inputs and recording tab select Line Stereo. Or if your signal is mono then just do Line 1 or 2. This will now be the default live input whether you open Podfarm or not.

Strange, mine is showing the same behavior. I'm sure that is how it should work and that it worked before. Maybe we can get some help from Line 6 on this.

Metaldude just wants his Line Inputs active without Podfarm on. Like if you had a cd player plugged in there, it would be such a pain to open Podfarm every time.

Now I could have sworn it used to work this way, having one live input of your choice. Can anyone get any live input with Podfarm off and no other program open? Possibly a simple driver update by Line6 could fix it.

I would start a support request with Line6, they likely wont see this thread.

I'm not sure I understand the question.

Without Pod Farm open - there is still a dry signal that goes to the Daw - so you can use a plugin. It would be like recording the tuner.

Is that the question?

Programs like Audacity or BIAB can use the Toneport drivers - but they don't support asio - so there will always be lots of latency.

And considering that the guitar signal goes first over usb - gets processed on the PC and back to the Toneport - routing it from there to another sound card isn't going to improve the latency. If he had a high quality low latency sound card - he would have to plug the guitar into it instead.

I never believe that tonedirect isn't low enough latency - but that's just one of my theories and I don't want to argue that maybe some people can actually notice it. I certainly don't.

As far as recording from the analog outs - I have plugged the outs into the analog in - then selected the ins as a recording source to record "what you hear" from the internet.

Other than that - being that the UX1 is my sound card - any sound it plays go out the analog outs - except the guitar if Pod Farm or Gearbox or a plugin wasn't processing the signal.
