No, both the standalone app and the plugin are PodFarm 2.

Hello, I’m using POD Farm 2 with a Line 6 UX1 and Cubase Elements on Windows 10. I’m experiencing a significant difference in sound between POD Farm 2 standalone and the POD Farm 2 VST plugin (loaded as an insert) in Cubase. The standalone version sounds noticeably fuller and more natural, while the VST version sounds thinner, more boxy and somewhat lifeless. I have tried to make the two setups as identical as possible: Same POD Farm preset Same Tone A Same amp/cab/effects settings Global Gate is OFF in both A/B routing is set to Tone A in both Input levels are approximately identical Tone A output levels are approximately identical Cubase channel is mono → stereo POD Farm is the only insert on the Cubase MONITOR channel No EQ or other processing is applied before or after POD Farm I have also compared the Tone A input and output meters in both versions, and they show approximately the same levels. In Cubase, the only available plugin entry is: POD Farm 2 (x64) I do not get separate entries for “POD Farm Mono” and “POD Farm Stereo”. My main questions are: Is POD Farm 2 (x64) the correct plugin for a mono guitar input in Cubase? Is there a specific mono or mono-to-stereo version of the plugin that I should be using? Is there a known reason why the standalone version can sound significantly different from the VST version when the preset and levels are matched? Is there any setting in POD Farm, Cubase or the UX1 that could cause this difference? I would be happy to provide screenshots, the exact POD Farm version, Cubase version, or any other information you need. Thank you!

A noob question here - apologies if the topic has been covered before, wasn’t able to find it. Anyway I am a long time user of the UX1 and PodFarm 2 for my guitar demo recordings. Now I am to record some clean tracks for reamping in a studio later on, and in order to secure the best possible signal I purchased a Radial ProDI box. I figured I would simply run the guitar through the ProDI and connect it to the UX1 box, this way getting the PodFarm amp sounds while also recording the clean signal. However the PodFarm sounds are significantly affected when I do this, and sounds real weak and incapacitated. Any ideas on why this may be or how to get around it? Thankful for any help :)
