I can't even plug a guitar in with this interface unless I take up ram and processor using a second rate piece of music software, THAT DOESN"T EVEN WORK!!! The software must have been designed by 2 year olds. It doesn't even work on Macs. What percentage of home recording people use macs? I'd guess pretty high.
First of all, you don't need to run Gearbox to use the interface. It will work perfectly fine without it. But you may experience increased latency because you're not using the ToneDirect Monitoring feature. The amount of RAM and CPU taken up by Gearbox is negligible. I've run it with Reaper, several VST's, and over 2 dozen tracks, and my CPU load on my PC was under 20% total. RAM was under 1GB.
Second, I have a UX2 that I use with PCs, and more recently, with an iMac running Lion. Works flawlessly. It couldn't have been easier to install and get working.
Third, the percentage of home recordists using Macs...not high at all. About 2% of U.S. home desktop usage. Mac users represent a exceptionally small minority in home computer use, and even among those in home recording, still very small compared to PC users. Those numbers change when you start talking about project and pro studios using ProTools on Mac hardware, but even that is starting to dwindle in favor of the PC platform.
My UX2 is the piece of Line6 gear that I've owned the longest, and it's been the most reliable and most used piece of Line6 gear I've used. I use it every day and it has been used with almost a half dozen PC's and a Mac. Zero problems. Does exactly what it's supposed to do.
I suggest that maybe you have some learning to do.
