I had some trouble over the weekend with a software issue after downloading the free Ilok PodFarm plug-in. It took a few days (with the weekend), but the Line6 support ticket system really works! My problem was solved (actually beyond my satisfaction) quickly and easily. Thanks Line 6!
Now if you guys can just incorporate the spdif tuning mute I keep requesting!
Please??????
For the record, I'm using the following Line6 gear, all of which I'm very happy with:
Pod X3 (primarily demo sessions for bass, but I
rely on it for guitar tracking! I also run
Gearbox in conjunction with the X3 on my netbook when recording. The graphic interface is easier for me than the built in lcd...)
Lowdown 150 (my home practice rig- it's nice because I can get a better sense of how my pedals/instruments are going to sound in a full-scale live rig. I also like how the amp records when mic'ed up. I like micing it better than the modeled xlr out- it's sounds really BIG at low volume when mic'ed!)
PodFarm Platinum Plug-in for ProTools. (I honestly don't know how I got home demos done without this thing. It really sweetens up my acoustic guitar tracks and is a painless re-amp tool. I always record a parallel unaffected direct guitar & bass track so I can mess with reamping directly in pro tools later. Works
great!)
All of this from a guy who
used to be a Pod/modeling "hater". All I can say is that the new generation of Line6 stuff sounds a
lot better. While I get the argument that models never = "the real thing", the X3 and LowDown sounds are great & authentic enough to get the job done at today's project studio budgets. I'm lucky enough to bring in my own (and rented) gear for most master sessions, but for the everday grind- Line6 is making my life cheaper & easier while still sounding great!
