Line6 TonePort UX2 USB Computer Recording Interface Reviews
10 out of 10
"The best audio/recording interface for homerecording!!!"
Feature:
You get alot features for a low price. - ZERO latency monitoring... (ToneDirect, and drivers are just an excellent work from line6) - Instrument(guitar/bass) preamp - Mic pream w/ phantom - Multifx - Good quantity of inputs and outputs (remeber that this is for homerecording.. you dont need 2387562 Inputs and outputs)
Quality:
It's made of plastic..., but looks and feels sturdy for me.
Value:
For the features you get... i think theres no competition in this price range. For the price you cant go wrong
Desirability:
Well, that red and black scheme of colours looks very sexy in my studio.
Sound:
Being an music engineer and guitarist and a 10year recording experience, i've heard an used lots of interfaces, effects and sounds, and believe me that UX2 being mainly for home recording purposes i can achieve sounds that are side to side with some pro interfaces and effects. But here i need to differentiate two things HARDWARE and SOFTWARE... In terms of hardware: UX2 really sports very high quality AD/DA converters also the circuitry is extremely good reducing pops and static problems. In terms of software The clean tones you get with UX2 w/Gearbox are just fantastic. distortions are more tricky but with some tweaking you can achieve really good distortions... But my real secret for distortions is using Guitar Rig 3, the best you can get for distortions in a PC environment and using through Toneport is just amazing what you can get. As for using this with a mic, you get really clean and crystal clear sounds... try to not max out the gain because it can become buzzy but if you keep a correct distance then there wouldnt be a problem... You can be amazed of what you can do with a Shure SM58 (my battle mic) .
Ease of Use:
It's just matter of installing drivers/software, connecting it to the PC and plug your instrument or mic and you are ready to go... The only think that i dislike is the inclusion of Ableton... i just dont like it...
Support:
I've only used the discussion board... and i've got quick answers to my doubts. No problem at all.
Overall:
Definately i think that Toneport is killer and a must for homerecording and its also affordable if you want to go pro too, believe me. You have the power of the pro's in a little and inexpensive box.

"Great product for the price - good sound(s) and easy to get going."
Feature:
For me there are adequate inputs, and the analog level-guages are great. I would've liked to see a power-switch, but no biggie. The drivers and Gearbox do the job well, but like I mentioned I generally don't use the effects while recording. As far as I can tell the Abbleton Live program for recording and sequencing is very good and intuitive, but only a demo version is included (doesn't allow saving). Tried the 'Line 6 upgrade' to no avail :(
Quality:
It's not titanium, but it feels pretty solid. I haven't had the inclination to take it out yet but I'd say if you treat it well it should last. There are occasional issues with 'white-noise' (read:You may almost be deafened by a sudden, unexplained burst of static). From what I've gathered, this is an issue with some Intel USB chips that for most people can be resolved by getting a PCMCIA USB card. I just ordered one for my laptop that was about 12 pounds. (Or 350 Australian dollars). I have had one issue where it turned itself off (flashing 'clip' lights), but it fixed itself after a reboot.
Value:
I can't really compare to other products in the price-range, but I'm pretty happy with it. I've spent money on other similar devices (not USB) and been less impressed with the sound (V-Amp2) - So far the UX2 rates well.
Desirability:
It's a saucy little number - no denying it.
Sound:
I've only had the UX2 for a few days, but so far I'm very happy with the sound quality in general. I mainly use it for recording 'clean' from a mic'ed acoustic so I can add effects later - So far so good, except the mic preamp seems a little noisy when maxed out. Also, make sure your mic is up to scratch or you'll be dissapointed.
Ease of Use:
It does a good job of a relatively simple task. I had no problems with drivers etc, and everything works fine with other programs (Cubase, Acid etc) with the ASIO drivers. Gearbox makes it a snap to dial up sounds, whether you're using a leccy or acoustic. All in all, it's easy if you've got a bit of experience with computers.
Support:
rating n/a here - haven't needed them yet. It comes with a decent warranty which is nice.
Overall:
So far I'm very happy with the product. If it holds up and doesn't give me any major problems then I'd definitely give it a 9. Compared to other products I've used in home-recording this one has impressed me.
