Here are a few resources Line 6 Customer Support has found to be useful to those new to making music or looking to expand their knowledge.

 

General

http://www.google.com - Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Line 6 Customer Support believes that the answer to almost any question about anything can be Googled. Many times, the most useful Google results come from two places: Wikipedia (definition and background of what's in question) and YouTube (video of what's in question). Here are some musical topics to Google:

  • Signal Path
  • Gain Staging
  • Effects pedal arrangement
  • How to mix sound
  • Audio signal processing
  • How to master audio
  • Speaker wiring
