X3 Live - How to use with Garageband?

Hi,

 

I have the X3 Live and using Garageband on my mac.

 

My goal is to be able to record and take those same tones to my live show.

 

I want to record clean on to Garageband then tweak the tone. Then download thos tones onto my X3 and take it to my gig.

How would I achieve this?

 

I thought I would use the Gear Box plug in but I can't get it since they don't sell it any more. Is there somewhere I can get it from?

I have been using the stand alone Gear Box and that works great but doesn't help me to use as a plug-in.

 

Should I just use Pod Farm? Are those tones the same as what is in my X3? Can I upload those into my X3 Live?

 

Thanks for the help!

    So after doing some playing around I found that I have Amp Farm just by pluggin gin the USB to my X3 live.

     

    But I am not sure if I can save the tone on Pod Farm then upload to X3 via Gearbox yet. That will solve my issue.

     

    Does anyone tried this?

      The X3 tones are fully compatible with the original Pod Farm (version1) and can be transferred back and forth between the computer and the X3 using Gearbox. So if you are using Pod Farm v1 then you are OK.

       

      Pod Farm v2 included some flexibility in patch creation (mostly FX placement and routing) that is not compatible with X3 tones. However, you can still interchange patches between the X3 and Pod Farm 2 as long as you SAVE the patches in Pod Farm 2 by selecting the X3 as the 'target' device during the SAVE process. This will remove any incompatibilites and save the patch in a format that the X3 can use.
