Having problems using POD Farm with UX2 in Logic Pro

Hi guys,

I have a UX2 which originally came with Gearbox but I have recently installed PodFarm 1 (I was told by a friend this was a free option without having to pay extra for the PodFarm 2.5) - It works fine as a stand alone unit (I think it's called tone monitoring?) But when I search for it in Logic as a plug-in, under Line 6 it just comes up with the options Gearbox, PodFarm 2.5 (this must be the trial version) and then a list of PodFarm things such as PodFarm Amps, PodFarm Delays, PodFarm Modulations e.t.c but I can find the all inclusive PodFarm 1 (like the stand alone unit).

I have tested the Gearbox and Podfarm 2.5 trial via plug-in in Logic and I only get the dry signal, but when used as stand alone units they sound fine. I have updated the versions/monkey. Could someone please help as I've spent hours trying to figure this out!

Cheers

Re: Having problems using POD Farm with UX2 in Logic Pro

I'm a little unclear, do you have to pay separately for the Podfarm plugin version? After re-scanning the plugins from within Logic - I get the following Audio Unit Validation Result for PodFarm:

PUBLISHED PARAMETER INFO:

# # # 162 Global Scope Parameters:
ERROR: Parameter did not retain set value when Initialized

* * FAIL
--------------------------------------------------
AU VALIDATION FAILED: CORRECT THE ERRORS ABOVE.
--------------------------------------------------

validation result: failed validation

updating properties of AU POD Farm by Line 6...done.

Re: Having problems using POD Farm with UX2 in Logic Pro

The older Toneports (red faced) originally did not come with the plug-in, I am guessing this is your situation.

You do get a free upgrade to POD Farm 1.12, which replaces Gearbox, but it is only the standalone.

The newer POD Studios (black face) come bundled with PF 2.5 including plug-in.

In the future, if you mark your post as a question you are likely to get more replies sooner, but weekends are usually scarce.

Re: Having problems using POD Farm with UX2 in Logic Pro

OK, So I've just bought the new UX2 and installed what I THINK is Podfarm 2.5 however it just says PodFarm 2?

I'm still unable to get any signal when trying to use it as a plug-in with Logic... but when I use it as a stand alone unit it works perfectly...

  Make sure Software Monitoring is enabled in Logic.

Re: Having problems using POD Farm with UX2 in Logic Pro

You need to run Monkey to update everything. If you have PF 2 and not 2.5 you probably used the disc.
After you have everything updated run the License Manager.

    Re: Having problems using POD Farm with UX2 in Logic Pro
    
    if you didn't pay extra for pod farm 2, you only have a pod farm 1 license... (which is true for any ux2 that shipped with gearbox originally)
    you also have to have the device plugged in with pod farm 1.... hardware independence is a feature of pod farm 2.5 not version 1...
    so make sure you have pod farm 1 installed, and your ux2 plugged in, and then authorize the ux2 in the license manager... not the computer.

      I have just bought the new studio UX2 which comes automatically with Podfarm 2 as far as I'm aware... I got rid of my old UX2 purely for the reason I thought the new one would have the capability of being able to use PF 2.5 as a plug in so I can record re-amp tracks

        okay, then you should have a pod farm 2.x license.

EpicusFuror,

Are you saying you purchased a new UX2 POD Studio (black face)?

Re: Having problems using POD Farm with UX2 in Logic Pro

This is the 2nd link that comes up in Google when searching Pod Farm 2.5 - I downloaded the top link which is entitled
POD Farm 2
POD Farm Installer Mac
Version 2.55
Released 8/29/12

I have the Black faced UX2 Studio - have updated monkey and licence manager and am STILL not getting the plug-in version to work. The UX2 meter readers don't even seem to be showing any signal in plug-in mode but as a stand alone going straight through to Pod Farm WITHOUT using Logic/plug-ins it works :S

  Do you have other plug-ins working successfully in Logic?

      OK problem solved - I re-installed the driver again and it's working One last question.. when I want to export tracks totally dry for re-amping do I just use the bypass and bounce the track?

Re: Having problems using POD Farm with UX2 in Logic Pro

You can capture wet and dry simultaneously with the UX.
If you captured a dry track and add the PF 2 plug-in, just turn the plug-in off when you render.
