There is a known compatibility issue with current Line 6 drivers and the AMD USB Filter driver that comes preinstalled on several AMD computers including HP and Compaq. This issue materializes in the form of constant blue screens when connecting a Line 6 device via USB to these computers. Uninstalling this USB Filter driver will resolve this issue. Note: If you have an AMD PC with a different brand of video card or do not have ATI Catalyst installed and are still experiencing blue screens when you connect a Line 6 device you can manually check for the driver in your Windows system directory. If the driver is installed, it can usually be found at this location: C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\usbfilter.sys Also, we have seen users fix this issue by updating drivers for their video cards. Please make sure that drivers are up to date for all audio and video devices attached to your system. Such devices include: Video Cards PCI Based internal sound cards USB and Firewire audio Interfaces from other manufactures Web Cams Video Cameras that connect via USB and Firewire Digital Cameras and DSLR cameras that connect via USB and Firewire USB Microphones and Turntables Who Crashed is a useful and easy to use tool that can help you identify which drivers or devices are responsible for blue screens on Windows computers.

Q: What is the KB37 used primarily for? A: It is a 37-key USB MIDI keyboard/control surface and TonePort USB audio interface. The KB37 will be able to send and receive MIDI CC information and process audio input and output across the USB connection to the host computer. Q: What are the knobs in the center top of the keyboard for? A: They are 4 software-assignable MIDI Continuous Control parameter knobs with 4 soft-buttons and a dedicated set of MIDI transport controls. The KB37 can control assignable MIDI parameters in most software synthesizer/samplers on the market today, along with most digital audio recording application sequencer track transport controls. Note: The KB37 does not have any of it's own onboard sounds. It is a MIDI controller that sends MIDI data to the computer and any installed MIDI software synthesizer/sound software. Q: What are the Audio Specs for the TonePort I/O section? A: Sample rate conversion at 16 and 24 bit at 44.1, 48 and 96 kHz. 2 XLR inputs with mic preamps and +48V phantom power. 2 Guitar/Bass Inputs – use the Pad input for guitars and basses with high level pickup outputs, or the normal input. Dual analog VU meters (software assignable to input, record send, and output levels). Q: Can I use GearBox editing software with the KB37? A: Yes, the KB37 is a GearBox software supported TonePort family device. Reference Links: Assigning KB37 Transport Keys To Logic 7 MMC Input must be enabled in Logic 7 in order to receive MMC from the KB37. From the main application menu, open Preferences>MIDI Select the Sync tab Click the MIDI Sync Song Settings button in the bottom right; this launches the Song Settings dialog. In the section labeled "MIDI Machine Control (MMC)" check the "Listen to MMC Input" option Note that this is a per-song option. To make this option global, you must modify your template file. Open Line 6 Audio/MIDI devices. Go to the MIDI tab. Click the Settings button. Choose a preset from the presets list. For each transport control, change the "To MIDI Out" parameter to "MIDI CC", assign a MIDI CC (for this example, we'll use 20-24), and change Switch Mode to Momentary. Click the Apply button, name the preset, click the Save icon and click OK. Click OK on the next screen. Assigning KB37 Transport Keys To Sonar 6 Go to Options/MIDI Devices and choose the KB37 as the input device and choose OK. Go to Options/Controllers/Surfaces. Click the Add New Controller/Surface icon. For Controller/Surface, choose ACT MIDI Controller. Input port should be the KB37. Click OK. Go to Views/Toolbars and ensure Controllers/Surfaces is selected, then close the window. In the Controllers toolbar, click the Controllers/Surfaces Properties button that is at the right end of the Control Surfaces toolbar. Although you can choose any preset, the M-Audio Ozone is laid out closest to the KB37 layout, so use it for this example. In the Controllers tab, you'll see 8 columns, each containing 4 three-row sections, three of which should be labeled "N/A". Go to the last of those 3 rows and click the n/a label to name it Rewind. Name the next 3 N/A fields from left to right: Stop, Play and Record. There is an empty field two slots below each of the labels. When you click the empty field for each of the 4 columns you just set up, press the corresponding transport button on the KB37 and it will be learned by Sonar. Go to the Options tab and under the Buttons category, drop down the second field to choose a control label and the third field to choose the transport control. Uncheck the "Exclude this button from ACT" setting each time. Click in the Presets field to name your new preset then hit the save icon. This preset will be stored and available to use with the KB37. Control Garageband With KB37 In order to control the Transport functions in Garageband with the KB37 you will need to have version 2.0.1 of Garageband or later. The Garageband software cannot do this natively and so you will need to download add-on software that permits MIDI messages to control the play and stop buttons in Garageband. GarageRemote is one such software and is available here: http://www.muratnkonar.com/otherstuff/garageremote/ This software is from the company: murat n konar Once GarageRemote is installed and set up, start GarageRemote's Listener off by default) so that it can relay MIDI notifications to GarageBand. GarageBand responds to MIDI CC 007 and 010 for current track volume and pan, and these parameters can be assigned to the existing GarageBand MIDI preset of the Line 6 Audio-MIDI Devices settings. Setting Up The KB37 Transport With Cubase The KB37 has control wheels and buttons like many other Mackie or others transport cotrollers. You can get the two working together by simply going into: device setup, click on the + button, add MIDI MACHINE CONTROL SLAVE, and select the Line 6 Toneport KB37 from the menu on the right. In order to set the control on the KB37 itself you will need to go to: Line 6 Audio Midi Devices in your Control Panel and select the MIDI tab. Setting Up The KB37 To Control Reason First, ensure that you have downloaded and installed the latest version of Line 6 Monkey. Run it and verify that your TonePort KB37 is running the latest driver, firmware and flash memory. Download the latest version of GearBox application and install it to your computer. Launch the "Line 6 Audio-MIDI Devices" program from the Line 6/Tools folder. Next, make sure the KB37 is the active device. Select the MIDI tab and from the drop-down list of Controller Mapping applications, select Reason (version #). You are now ready to use the KB37's transport, Sound Select and 4 assignable real-time parameter controls with Reason. Keep in mind that you will be using the default parameter control settings. If you wish to customize those, click on the "Settings" button to access the Parameter Map screen. The drop-down list titled "MIDI CC/Action" is where you can modify which device parameters are to be controlled by the available controllers on the KB37. Keep in mind that each Reason Device has it's specific parameter CC# assignment. To access those values, refer to the "MIDI Implementation Chart" located in the Documentation folder within the Reason application folder on your computer's hard drive.

Français Deutsch Explained below is a definition of the Line 6 Audio-MIDI Control Panel. It explains and defines the function of each setting within the application. The "Driver" tab Driver Operating at: The "Driver operating at:" status actually shows the sample rate and bit depth of the data going through the USB cable and the hardware. For X3, the hardware always runs at 48000 Hz, 24 bit regardless of what the driver is doing, so you'll always see 48k, 24bit. From the Gearbox Manual page 3.4 Driver Operation indicator: TonePort & GuitarPort devices - Displays what sample and bit rate the current device is operating at(or with no text if not in use). Note: POD XT devices do not utilize this feature and therefore no text will appear here when a PODxt is the selected device. These devices run at a fixed sample rate which is why you'll see the Sample Rate Converter light always on when viewing the Control Panel with a POD XT device connected. The POD XT is always converting from the custom rate to it's fixed sample rate. Similarly, the SRC light will always be on for X3, unless you're running the driver at 48kHz. Lock Format: The "Lock Format" check box affects two things. 1)All WDM applications 2)The hardware sample rate, if it isn't already locked by the hardware (like X3 or XT). From the Gearbox Manual page 3.4 Lock Driver Format: When checked, this forces the Line 6 audio driver to operate at the Sample and Bit rate settings entered in the two fields below (as opposed to following the sample rate requested by a host audio application). Note: Lock Format doesn't affect the ASIO driver. All sample rates will still work for ASIO even if Lock Format is checked. With TonePort devices, Lock Format will lock that hardware to the given sample rate. If ASIO software asks for a different sample rate, our driver will perform the necessary Sample Rate Conversion. ASIO Settings: The ASIO Settings section are the displayed settings of what you are actually running your ASIO driver at. From the Gearbox Manual page 3.3/3.4 ASIO Client: If you are running audio software that is using this Line 6 device as its ASIO sound card, the name of the software will appear here. If not in use by an ASIO software, none is displayed here as shown. Default Buffer Size: The ASIO buffer size in use. Note this field is only active when in use by an ASIO application. As your audio software documentation will likely tell you, the ASIO Buffer Size will affect the responsiveness and latency of the audio. The lower the setting, the faster the response, but with the trade-off of higher processor usage and the risk of audio dropouts. Raise the value if you are getting inconsistent playback or recording in the audio software. Basically, 512 is generally a good average setting.* Default Bit Depth: The ASIO bit depth in use. Note this field is only active when in use by an ASIO application. It is best to use the highest bit rate your ASIO software will support to ensure high quality audio. Sample Rate Converter: TonePorts support 44.1 and 48 kHz sample rates natively. Some TonePorts also support 88 and 96 kHz sample rates by way of an internal sample rate converter. This indicator lights up to show you when this converter is active, which can be any time your ASIO software is requesting a different sample rate than what your device natively supports. TonePort UX8 supports 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz sample rates natively, meaning that these sample rates are not converted. The Inputs and Recording tab: From the Gearbox Manual page 3.5: Input Source Select:* This is a mirrored control for the Source Select within the GearBox application where it allows the user to select which physical input is used on the device. Note that this control is ONLY selectable when the GearBox software is not in use by the current device. When GearBox is in use, it remains grayed out, but displays the current Source that is selected within GearBox. When Gearbox is not in use by the selected Line 6 device, this Input Source Select, like the Source Select in the GearBox application, offers a list of input options. GuitarPort and PODxt devices are always fixed to only route their instrument 1 /4 input signal into GearBox. When a GuitarPort or PODxt is the selected device, this Input Source Select list offers only Instrument as the source. F.A.Q. zur Line 6 Audio-MIDI Steuerung: Im Folgenden sind die Funktionen des Line 6 Audio-MIDI erklärt: Der "Driver" Reiter: Driver Operating at: Der "Driver Operating at:"Status zeigt Ihnen die Samplerate und Bitauflösung der Daten an, die durch das USB Kabel und die Hardware gehen. Für das X3, die Hardware läuft immer auf 48kHz, 24bit egal was der Treiber macht also wird Ihnen immer 48kHz, 24bit angezeigt. Aus dem GearBox Benutzerhandbuch, Seite 3.4: Driver Operation Anzeige: TonePort und GuitarPort Geräte: Anzeige der Samplerate und Bitauflösung des derzeit angeschlossenen Gerätes (oder ohne Text wenn es nicht benutzt wird). Achtung, PODxt Geräte benutzen diese Eigenschaft nicht und somit wird dann auch kein Text angezeigt, wenn ein PODxt ausgewählt wird. Diese Geräte laufen mit einer festgesetzten Samplerate, deshalb wird das Sample Rate Converter Licht immer an sein wenn Sie die Steuerung mit einem PODxt Gerät öffnen. Das PODxt wird immer von der benutzerdefinierten Samplerate auf seine festgesetzte Samplerate konvertieren. So wird das SRC Licht auch immer bei einem X3 angeschaltet sein außer Sie lassen den Treiber auf 48kHz laufen. Lock Format: Das Lock Format Kontrollkästchen beeinflusst zwei Dinge: Alle WDM Programme. Die Hardware Samplerate, sofern diese nicht von der Hardware festgesetzt ist. Aus dem GearBox Benutzerhandbuch, Seite 3.4: Lock Driver Format: Wenn diese Option angekreuzt ist, wird der Line 6 Audiotreiber dazu gezwungen mit der unten eingegebenen Samplerate und Bitauflösung zu arbeiten. Im Gegensatz zur Einhaltung der Samplerate die vom Audio Programme angefordert wird. Achtung, Lock Format beeinflusst nicht den ASIO Treiber. Alle Sampleraten werden weiterhin für ASIO funktionieren auch wenn Lock Format angekreuzt ist. Mit TonePort Geräten wird Lock Format die Hardware auf die angegebene Samplerate fixieren. Wenn ASIO Software nach einener anderen Samplerate fragt wird unser Treiber die nötige Konvertierung vornehmen. ASIO Settings: Die Sektion der ASIO Settings zeigt alle Einstellungen des ASIO Treibers an die tatsächlich laufen. Aus dem GearBox Benutzerhandbuch, Seite 3.3/3.4: ASIO Client: Wenn Sie eine Audio Software benutzen, die das Line 6 Gerät als ASIO Soundkarte verwendet, wird der Name der Software hier erscheinen. Wenn es nicht mit ASIO Software verwendet wird, wird hier "none" stehen. Default Buffer Size: Die ASIO Buffergröße in Benutzung. Achtung, dieses Feld ist nur dann aktiv, wenn es mit einem ASIO Programm benutzt wird. Die ASIO Buffergröße wird die Reaktionsfähigkeit und Latenz des Tons beeinflussen. Je tiefer diese Einstellung, umso schneller die Resonanz. Dies führt jedoch zu einer höheren Prozessorauslastung und man riskiert Audio Aussetzer. Erhöhen Sie diesen Wert wenn Sie einen unbeständigen Ton in Ihrer Audio Software erhalten. Am Allgemeinen ist 512 eine gute, durchschnittliche Einstellung. Default Bit Depth: Die ASIO Bitauflösung in Benutzung. Achtung, dieses Feld ist nur dann aktiv, wenn es mit einem ASIO Programm benutzt wird. Am besten benutzen Sie die höchste, von Ihrer ASIO Software unterstützte, Bitauflösung um eine hohe Audioqualität zu gewährleisten. Sample Rate Converter: TonePorts unterstützen von Haus aus 44.1 und 48kHz Sampleraten. Manche TonePorts unterstützen sogar 88 und 96kHz Sampleraten anhand eines internen Konverters. Diese Anzeige leuchtet auf um Ihnen zu zeigen, dass dieser Konverter aktiv ist. Dies kann jederzeit geschehen, wenn Ihre ASIO Software eine unterschiedliche Samplerate erfordert als die, die Ihr Gerät nativ unterstützt. TonePort UX8 unterstützt 44.1, 48, 88.2 und 96kHz Sampleraten, was bedeutet, dass keine Kovertierung stattfindet. Der Input and Recording Reiter: Aus dem GearBox Benutzerhandbuch, Seite 3.5: Input Source Select ist eine Spiegelung des Source Select des GearBox Programmes, welches Ihnen die Möglichkeit gibt, den physischen Eingang, der auf Ihrem Gerät genutzt werden soll, auwählen zu können. Achtung, diese Eisntellung ist nur dann auswählbar, wenn die GearBox Software derzeit nicht von einem Gerät benutzt wird. Wenn diese von einem Gerät in Benutzung ist, wird die Einstellung grau bleiben aber Ihnen die derzeitige Quelle anzeigen, die im GearBox ausgewählt ist. Wenn GearBox nicht von einem Gerät in Benutzung ist, dann können Sie hier, wie beim Source Select der GearBox Software eine Liste von Eingangsoptionen benutzen. GuitarPort und PODxt Geräte sind immer festgesetzt, um ausschließlich den "Instrument" 6.35mm Eingang ins GearBox zu nutzen. Wenn also ein GuitarPort oder PODxt das ausgewählte Gerät ist dann hat diese Input Source Select Liste nur eine Option, "Instrument". TonePort UX8 hat einen größeren Satz Optionen, schauen Sie sich dazu den Inputs & Recordings Reiter an. Panneau de configuration Line 6 Audio-MIDI: F.A.Q. Explications des options du Line 6 Audio-MIDI: Le tab Driver: Driver operating at: Le statut "Driver operating at:" vous montre la fréquence d'échantillonnage et la profondeur de bits des données traversant le câble USB et le hardware. Pour le X3, le hardware est toujours à 48000 Hz, 24bit n'importe quoi le pilote fait. Vous voyez toujours 48k, 24bit. Retiré de la page 3.4 du manuel d'utilisation Gearbox: Indicateur Driver Operation: Appareils TonePort & GuitarPort: Affiche la fréquence d'échantillonnage et la profondeur de bits à laquelle l'appareil fonctionne. (Aucun texte si l'appareil n'est pas en cours d'utilisation.) Attention, les appareils PODxt n'utilisent pas cette option donc aucun texte n'apparaît si un appareil PODxt est connecté. Ces appareils fonctionnent à une fréquence d'échantillonnage fixée donc la lumière "Sample Rate Converter" est toujours allumée si un appareil PODxt est connecté. Le PODxt toujours convertit la fréquence personnalisée à sa fréquence fixée. De même façon, la lumière SRC est aussi toujours allumée avec un appareil X3, sauf vous exécutez le pilote à 48kHz. Lock Format: La case à cocher "Lock Format" affecte deux choses: Toutes les applications WDM. La fréquence d'échantillonnage du hardware si ce n'est pas fixé par le hardware (comme X3 ou XT). Retiré de la page 3.4 du manuel d'utilisation Gearbox: "Lock Driver Format": Si coché, cette option force le pilote Line 6 de fonctionner à la fréquence d'échantillonnage et profondeur de bits entrés ci-dessous. Contrairement à l'utilisation de la fréquence d'échantillonnage demandé par l'application audio. Attention, Lock Format n'affecte pas le pilote ASIO. Toutes les fréquences d'échantillonnage fonctionnent même si Lock Format est coché. Pour les appareils TonePort, Lock Format verrouille le hardware à la fréquence d'échantillonnage donné. Si le logiciel ASIO demande une fréquence d'échantillonnage différente, notre pilote effectue la conversion de fréquence d'échantillonnage nécessaire. ASIO Settings: La section ASIO Settings affiche les réglages vous exécutez le pilote ASIO réellement. Retiré de la page 3.3/3.4 du manuel d'utilisation Gearbox: ASIO Client: Si vous exécutez un programme qui utilise l'appareil Line 6 comme carte de son ASIO, le nom du logiciel apparais ici. S'il n'est pas utilisé d'un logiciel ASIO, "none" sera affichée ici. Default Buffer Size: Ce montre la taille de buffer ASIO en utilisation. Cet espace est seulement active si utilisé par une application ASIO. Cette taille de buffer ASIO affectera la réactivité et latence du audio. Abaissement de cette option améliore la réactivité mais l'utilisation du processeur augmente et on risque le décrochage du son. Augmentez ce valeur si vous recevez du audio inconsistant dans le logiciel audio. Normalement, 512 est un réglage bon moyenne. Default Bit Depth: Ce montre la profondeur de bits ASIO en utilisation. Cet espace est seulement active si utilisé par une application ASIO. Utilisez le plus haut réglage que votre logiciel ASIO soutient pour garantir une haute qualité audio. Sample Rate Converter: Les TonePorts soutiennent les fréquences d'échantillonnage 44.1 et 48kHz nativement. Certains TonePorts soutiennent 88 et 96kHz aussi avec un convertisseur de fréquence d'échantillonnage interne. L'indicateur s'allume si ce convertisseur est active, que peut-être n'importe quand votre logiciel ASIO demande une fréquence d'échantillonnage différente que laquelle votre appareil soutient nativement. Le TonePort UX8 soutient les fréquences d'échantillonnage 44.1, 48, 88.2 et 96kHz nativement que veut dire que ces fréquences d'échantillonnage ne sont pas converties. Le tab Inputs and Recording: Retiré de la page 3.5 du manuel d'utilisation Gearbox: Input Source Select: C'est un réglage reflète du Source Select dans l'application GearBox, ce réglage vous permet de sélecter quel entrée physique est utilisée sur l'appareil. Attention, ce réglage est seulement sélectionnable si le logiciel GearBox n'est pas en cours d'utilisation de l'appareil. Si GearBox est en cours d'utilisation, il reste grisé mais affiche la source actuelle du GearBox. Si GearBox n'est pas en cours d'utilisation, cette sélection vous offre une liste des options d'entrées. GuitarPort et PODxt sont fixés ici, ils font passer seulement le signal d'entrée 6.35mm "Instrument" dans le GearBox. Donc, si un GuitarPort ou PODxt est l'appareil choisis, cette liste Input Source Select a uniquement "Instrument" comme source. Le TonePort UX8 a un nombre plus vaste des options. Veuillez visiter le tab Inputs & Recording.

TonePort UX8 Frequently Asked Questions Q: Is TonePort UX8 an audio interface or software? Does it record? A: TonePort UX8 is a USB audio interface. Every TonePort audio interface works with the included GearBox modeling software as an integrated hardware/software system. The TonePort device gets audio signals into your computer and GearBox software makes everything you record sound amazing. TonePort UX8 is a unique integration of professional hardware and amp and effects modeling software. Designed with high quality electrical components and a rugged exterior, TonePort UX8 provides a wide dynamic range and an exceedingly low noise floor. The UX8, like every TonePort device, works together with the included GearBox software as an integrated hardware/software system, making everything you record sound amazing. Additionally, TonePort UX8 features Line 6's exclusive ToneDirect Monitoring, which lets you hear your GearBox-processed signal instantaneously, providing unmatched responsiveness while you record. Q: What is ToneDirect monitoring? A: ToneDirect monitoring allows you to monitor a fully processed signal with extremely low latency, regardless of the buffer size of your recording application. This means that there is an incredibly small delay between when you play a note and when you actually hear the sound from your speakers. This is unusual among audio interfaces because with other more traditional monitoring solutions, you either have to listen to processed audio with significant latency, often such that it is hard to play along with what you are recording or listen to a signal with no processing. It's uninspiring to say the least to hear completely dry electric guitar with no amp, cab, or effect processing. Q: What is GearBox? A: GearBox is the standalone software application that works with your TonePort audio interface, providing everything you need to record professional sounding tracks. GearBox contains models of vintage and modern amps, speaker cabinets, stompbox and studio effects for guitar, bass and vocals and can be applied while recording to any pair of inputs. Q: Can I apply Gearbox effects to all 8 inputs at once? A: Yes, using the Gearbox plug-in that is included with the UX8. Q: Will Gearbox be able to record at 96K? A: The UX8 driver can process audio at 96K, but Gearbox operates at 48K. Gearbox converts the 96k signal from the UX8 driver, converts it to 48k, processes it, then sends the signal to the UX8 driver, which then converts the signal to 96k. Q: Can I use TonePort UX8 without the GearBox software? A: Yes, you can use the TonePort hardware without GearBox software. Q: Can you re-amp with UX8? A: Not the same way you can with a PODxt, but you can via the GearBox Plug-In. The method for re-amping with a PODxt is pointed out in Knowledge Base document 3940. Q: What is GearBox Plug-In? A: GearBox Plug-In is a VST, AU and RTAS plug-in, providing the same models as the standalone application and additional flexibility when mixing and mastering. Q: Is the GearBox Plug-In included with TonePort UX8? A: Yes, it is. Q: Are TonePort UX8 and GearBox Intel Mac compatible? A: Yes, they are. Q: What recording software can I use with TonePort UX8? A: Every TonePort supports the ASIO standard on Windows and Core Audio on the Macintosh and should work well with any recording application that supports one of these protocols. The UX8 is designed to work with most major applications such as ProTools, Logic, Cubase, Nuendo, Sonar and Ableton Live. Q: Can I use TonePort UX8 and GearBox processing as a front end for Pro Tools? A: Yes, if your Pro Tools® hardware interface has a S/PDIF input you can run the stereo S/PDIF output of your TonePort UX8 directly into your Pro Tools hardware, complete with ToneDirectâ„¢ monitoring and GearBox processing. You can also utilize the Pro Tools compatible RTAS-format GearBox Plug-In for mixing and mastering. Q: Is RiffWorks 2 Line 6 Edition compatible with TonePort UX8? A: No, RiffWorks Line 6 and Riffworks 2 Line 6 Edition are not compatible with the UX8. However, the Standard Edition (full version) of Riffworks available for purchase through the Sonoma WireWorks website: http://www.sonomawireworks.com/. Q: Can I expand the model set of TonePort UX8 with Line 6 Model Packs? A: Yes, you can. They are available as optional Model Pack purchases from our online Store. Q: Can I transfer model packs that I purchased on another Line 6 hardware device over to my new UX8? A: Yes. Once you've purchased a model pack license key, that key remains with your user account indefinitely. You cannot, however have two or more different registered hardware devices running the same model pack simultaneously. Only one hardware device can have the model pack installed on it at any given time. Q: Do the gain controls on the front panel control the line input jacks on the back of the unit? A: The gain controls the input level of the XLR inputs, not the instrument cable inputs (as these are assuming line level and most instruments will have their own level control). Q: What do the VU meters do on TonePort UX8? A: The GearBox application allows you to assign the signal that is monitored by the VU meters to various audio sources: including input, record send, output and monitor levels. Q: How accurate are the VU meters on the UX8 in relation to the meters in the software? A: Very accurate, with the smallest of variance between Gearbox and the physical meters. Q: What will happen if my signal clips the unbalanced analog input on the UX8? A: The clipping will be a "natural clipping". The cure is to lower the incoming signal at the source. Q: How many Instruments/Mics can I record at one time? Since you are monitoring directly out of the UX8, am I going to experience any latency when recording all 8 inputs? A: 8 inputs can be recorded at any given time. Outputs 1 & 2 are monitored via ToneDirect, with the remaining outputs monitored from the hardware at near zero latency. Q: Can the phantom power from the UX8 damage my dynamic mic? A: No, it will not. Q: What is the signal to noise ratio on the analog inputs? A: The UX8 has an input signal to noise ratio of .005% THD, with a dynamic range of 111 dB. Q: What do flashing lights on the unit mean? A: The LED status indicators (Main Mute and Main Clip LEDs provide secondary functions in their ability to indicate the connection status of USB and S/PDIF) as follows: No USB connection: The main clip LEDs alternate steadily between left and right, about once every second. The USB cable may be unplugged or the UX8 driver may not be installed on your computer. No S/PDIF clock sync: The Mute LED blinks 3 times rapidly about once every second when the clock mode set to S/PDIF, and no external clock is present. Q: What are the dimensions and weight of the UX8? A: The UX8 is a standard two-unit rack space module, with dimensions of 17"w x 7"d (8" with knobs) x 3.5"h. The shipping weight is 11.6 lbs. Known Issues: An incompatibility for systems running on Intel ICH10 USB Chipsets; UX8 will hang the user's computer system. The solution for this is to use a PCI USB 2.0 interface card to connect UX8. Record buss mis-routing of UX8 in Gearbox when recording into DAW Gearbox is remembering POD Farm 1 and 2 Record send settings if PF (1 or 2) was used before Gearbox program. Workaround is to reset the Record Send settings that were made in POD Farm 1 or 2, or to reboot the computer.

Once you've installed the latest drivers for your Line 6 USB device on your computer's operating system, connect audio monitors/speakers to the audio outputs of your Line 6 USB device or use the headphone output jack. The built-in soundcard output of your computer will not output processed amp/effect tones from GearBox/POD Farm/DAW software. Also, connecting the audio output from your POD Studio/TonePort/POD interface into the audio input of your default soundcard will result in you hearing latency (short echo/delay). Please connect your computer speakers or headphonesdirectly to the output of the POD Studio/TonePort/POD interface device and not your original computer's soundcard output.
