Update to Pod Farm Platinum 2.5 has made my presets all sound like crap

I update yesterday and have just opened up a song I am working for someone in my studio - I know have this crappy digital fizz on everything that I have created.

Really can't stand that harsh tone, and the presets I had created didn't have it.

Is there anything I can do to revert back to the same quality I was getting before?

Thanks for your time

Same boat here. This is how PODfarm sounded before I updated: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/794136/GrooveA.mp3

Now it sounds like total ***. Just fizz like crazy. I can't even use the damn TubeScreamer model by itself with another ampsim, it seems to be affecting everything in PODfarm

OSX 10.6.7 here

Even if you downgrade to the version before it still does this (reading from above)? What gives...

  wasnt working for me earlier, but sorted the problem in the podfarms preferences tab, and enable the stand alone + all the
  audio driver settings have to be redone eg, bitrate, buffer size etc, its because of it's new functions with sound drivers.
  read the new manual on the set up for whatever os you have, hopefully this works.

    Unfortunately that did nothing for me. I don't understand what the problem is. Nor can we get an official response from someone at L6...
    
    Is there not a way to downgrade to the version before 2.5? I don't even care about standalone capability, I have a PODxt Pro sitting in my rack right now that I use to monitor with in real time. I use PODfarm as a VST in Cubase on DI tracks though and other things. I just want it to go back to the way it was before.

      What PODfarm 2.0 sounds like: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/794136/PODfarmPREv250.mp3

      Unacceptable. Line6 needs to fix this ASAP. Sounds HORRIBLE now. It sounds like there is no cabinet simulation on it. However, if I turn off the cabinet in PODfarm (No Cab selection) and put an impulse loader after it with a cab, it still sounds really bad and undergained.

Re: Update to Pod Farm Platinum 2.5 has made my presets all sound like crap

Pod Farm 2.5 messed up all the mixes that I've done with Propellerheads Record, so I downgraded back to version 2.02 and everything is stable again. With 2.5 all Line 6 Amp sound levels went totally wrong. Hope this will be fixed soon.

Edit: I noticed that for some reason Pod Farm 2.5 works in trial mode (No Pod Farm 2 license found. Pod Farm 2 is not authorized). Yes, I have a license and it has been authorized.

Win7 x64, UX2, iLok, Record/Reason + all the latest drivers and updates.

Re: Update to Pod Farm Platinum 2.5 has made my presets all sound like crap

read new user manual, licences etc. can only be authorised with purchased product. All hardware settings and Preference have to be set again, especially if the program was uninstalled and reinstalled. All the answers are in the podfarm2.5 manual.

  Yeah, did that and it definitely did not help. Did you even listen to the two clips I posted? There is something majorly wrong with the update for me. No amount of setting and preference tweaks will fix it. If you follow my own thread about this issue (here) you can see, in detail, why that suggestion is useless.

    Re: Update to Pod Farm Platinum 2.5 has made my presets all sound like crap
    
    yeah i listened, sounds like your core sound is there but some other dynamic is def missing. If i worked for line6 id think about whats wrong,
    but obviously this has been tried and tested. Think theres too many things goin on with licence manager/monkey/podfarm etc for it to be a smooth process.
    If everthing is authorised, and all your software is up to date, then it has to be sound card/ driver setup issues. other than that, im enjoyin the new version alot, even though it took
    a day and a half to figure out why it wasnt working.

      There is absolutely nothing wrong with my interface or it's drivers. It works totally fine with everything else. It wasn't until I tried to update to 2.5 that there has been an issue. This issue is solely caused by Line6's coding of the 2.5 update. Period.

        Re: Update to Pod Farm Platinum 2.5 has made my presets all sound like crap
        
        Just discovered the 2.5 update and installed today. I'm on MacOsX 10.6.7. and using the iLok version.
        
        I started Digital Performer 7.22 and it does a check on any new Audio Units plugin it find. It took a long time and I was reading as it checked the PFP 2.5 as it said "passed, but may degrade performance".
        
        Opened it up as a plugin from within DP7 and as soon as I try to select another preset it crashes.
        
        Tried PFP 2.5 in standalone mode, and same thing. Crashes when I do anything with select an amp etc.
        
        Wish I read the forums before installing it. Anyone can refer me to info about?
        
        Also, installed on a separate drive that has OSX10.5.8 and crashes in standalone mode every time there too.
        
        WTH...

        Re: Update to Pod Farm Platinum 2.5 has made my presets all sound like crap
        
        Dude(tte) - this thread is more than a year and a half old. Meantime, there have been three release updates for Pod Farm 2.5. The latest is v2.55. Also in the meantime, Line 6 support has moved to a support ticket system; they no longer provide tech support in this forum. Actually, they never looked here in 'the lounge' in the first place.
        
        But, suit yourself.
