kcdc08 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 What program do I download to use my Line 6 UX1 to record myself on my computer? Line 6 has made it so difficult to the point where I've downloaded tons of they're softwares only to find I have to pay for most, and the free ones all basically do the same thing, and do not give you the ability to record yourself. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Did you recently purchases the UX1? If so, was it supposed to come with recording software (Digital Audio Workstation, DAW for short)? And if so, what was it supposed to come with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcdc08 Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 I bought my ux1 second hand, and was told the original owner got a certain software with it, but didn't have the install disc anymore. And I'm told by all the good softwares like podfarm 2.5 that I have to buy all of the different softwares to get anything good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Is it a red Toneport or a black POD Studio? In a nutshell Toneport comes with a free hardware enabled POD Farm Standard standalone license and POD Studio comes with a free hardware enabled POD Farm 2 Standard standalone and plug-in license (There are a few exceptions). If you do not know the difference between standalone and plug-in that is not important at this point. Sometimes a new purchase comes with a free license for a light version of Cubase (a DAW), which is from the company Steinberg, but that is not your current situation. So you will need to decide what DAW to use, and there are many to choose from, most of which have a common core set of functions and features. Seeing as it sounds like you are new to digital recording there may be a bit of a learning curve so I would suggest reading the UX1 manual and watch some tutorials. I currently use Reaper as my main DAW, great bang for your buck, and they have an active forum. You can try the demo for free. Audacity is a free, but if you plan on doing anything beyond simply recordings for fun I would not waste my time on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcdc08 Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 Yeah, it says tone direct on it. But I believe it's the studio version you mentioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you tell me how I would go about Downloading and using these for free? Everywhere it says I have to pay for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz_Ham Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Do you have the red and black toneport ux1 or the all black podstudio ux1? They both come with different things. Once you've registered your device at line6.com,and registered the computer that you are using the ux1 with, via the line6 device manager, log in to your account at line6.com on the computer and you should find a link for downloading cubase.

Everywhere it says I have to pay for it You most be trying to download from the store, no need for that. Run the Line6 Monkey to install the drivers and POD farm. It should also prompt you to install POD Farm, you do not need to pay for the standard version. Whether you are entitled to PF1 or PF2 depends on your device. You can also go to the downloads page and select from the dropdown menus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you get Cubase if the UX is 2nd hand, but definitely worth a try. If not you could also call Line6 or open a support ticket to see if they can help you get Cubase.

Gaz_Ham Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Mine is a second hand unit, and I have the option to download cubase. Either the previous owner didn't use the download, or it can be downloaded and used as long as you have the device registered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a driver installer file where you do not need Monkey. You can also dl PF from there. But you will need to run the License Manager while signed in. Some firewalls and anti-virus apps don't like Monkey but I think you'll be ok with License Manager. Mac or PC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithj7 Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Setting up Toneport UX2 on my PC. So far I can hear guitar and can record guitar to Audacity on PC but though I can hear microphone in headphones it will not record to PC. Anyone any ideas?

Gaz_Ham Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Have you selected the microphone input, either in podfarm stand alone (if you use it that way) or through the line6 audio device manager on your computer's control panel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
