pabcadmon Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Hi everyone and thanks for taking a look at my problem, I recently acquired a Toneport UX1. I installed the latest drivers from the website. However, when listening and recording the raw sound from my guitar, no effects added, I get no sustain what so ever, it is almost like the UX1 has a built in noise gate...I have tried the UX1 in two computers, using windows 7 and windows 8.1. I get the same result. As you can hear in this recording, when I play a chord and let it ring, the sound dies within a couple of seconds. I do not stop the chord ringing, the sound just stops by itself. Also at the end of the recording I play a single note quickly, varying the strength of the pick with the strings. When I play the note soflty, it does not make any sound whatsoever. (Also note the ugly noise made when I play the chords. Maybe I'm just playing too hard?) Did I get a broken UX1? Am I doing something wrong? Any help is appreciated. Thank you. TapeDeck 2 Sep 22 18-16-58.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Do you have the gate on in POD Farm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabcadmon Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 As I said, this recording is just the raw sound from my guitar, im not using the POD farm to record it whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillBee Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Does the guitar sound fine through a regular amp? When a selector switch needs to be replaced/cleaned it can cause an incomplete contact which can give a similar sound. Flip the pu switch up and down a bunch of times and see if it clears up. Check cables and jack too. Just saying my man - you never know. -B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabcadmon Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Thanks for your answer Bill, If I plug my guitar directly into the microphone input of my crappy integrated sound card, I dont get this problem so I dont think its got to do with the guitar or the cables.

Triryche Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Just for clarification, if you run the Monkey, you have green ticks for drivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 btw... What DAW are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabcadmon Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Yes, monkey shows green ticks for drivers. I have tried Cubase, Audacity, windows recorder and several other recording softwares. It doesnt matter what DAW I use, I get the same results always. Even when i tick the "listen to this device" option in Windows Control Panel (check the link below) so that I can hear what I play directly, I get this issue. http://postimg.org/image/3om6bgtx7/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triryche Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 In Cubase are you selecting ASIO Line6 as your device? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabcadmon Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Yes, it is selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
