Hi,

   I haven't got a ux1, but if you take the software with you and install it on the computer, and then run the Line 6 Monkey programme (go to the downloads section to get the latest version of monkey and if you want to - the latest updates of pod farm etc.) and then have a look at this document:

Unfortunately, I don't know for certain if the method it mentions for transferring to another computer, allows two computers to keep the authorisation or not. I know that this can be done because I was going to use a laptop and our desktop for my ux2 and I know it works that way, but I'm not 100% sure if this method it mentions in here does this. As far as I know, when you go to monkey etc. I think it gives you options for how many computers you want to have using it.

Maybe someone else can give a more straight forward answer here. Sounds good idea about the mic etc. A nice condenser mic probably would be good for that but the one thing about that is that the ux1 doesn't have 'phantom power' for a mic. So, if you used a condenser mic, you'd either have to buy some external phantom power mic unit, or get a mic that has a battery inside to give it it's power. I don't know which mics have batteries though -it might be only the more expensive ones.

Here is a post which gives an idea of what I mean:

Hope this helps a bit,

God Bless,
