POD Farm and windows 7 64 bit with SONAR 8.5.1 64 bit

support@line6.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 23:04:44 GMT

I have a UX2 and POD Farm with all model packs. It works fine in Windows 7 64 with a 32 bit host(minihost) however, in SONAR 64 it has a strange problem where when you select a preset, some of the elements(such as amps or effects) are not enabled even though they indicate enabled and even if you disable and reenable(clicking the "power" button on the display for that amp or effect) the amp or effect don't work. I have tried this with bitbridge(native to SONAR) and Jbridge(another 32 to 64 bit vst wrapper). Any ideas?

2nd question: Is there a native 64 bit version of PODfarm coming? Thx.

Best,

Andy

Midi timeouts connecting to Vetta 2 with Line 6 Edit

support@line6.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:45:22 GMT

Hi there,

I have the latest firmware (2.5) for the Vetta, latest version of Line 6 Edit (3.02), Java Runtime 1.5 installed and I'm connecting to my Vetta 2 combo with a M-audio midisport uno. When starting up Line 6 Edit the Vetta is recognized but about 25 seconds into the connection process (where the Line 6 Edit is downloading data) I get a midi timeout window stating that Line 6 Edit couldn't connect to the Vetta. The message suggests checking midi connections and cycling power on the amp. That doesn't work of course.

I've tried rolling back to firmware 2.11, removing and reinstalling Java, updating drivers for my Midisport Uno all to no avail. The same problem exists.

Line 6 Monkey sees the Vetta just fine. Is there something I'm missing? I'm also using Windows XP SP3.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

What are the specs for the speaker outs on spider 4 150

support@line6.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:31:54 GMT

I want to purchase a used line 6 quarter stack. I did not see any specs in my manual for the speaker outs on my spider 4 150. When you plug in, do your internal speakers mute? Can I run just one speaker out to an external cab or do I have to run both? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't find any info on what happens when you run the speaker outs. Has anyone else had any experience running external cabs? Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANKS.

How to connect acoustic guitar with built-in piezo pickup and preamp to TonePort UX2

support@line6.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:11:55 GMT

Hi,

I experience a problematic performance of my piezo-acoustic guitar with built-in active preamp/eq when trcording through instrument input on my TonePort UX2. The sound is thin, full of harmonics and subtle resonances, and I can hear more of a staccato than a melodic string sound. I/ve tried everything: changing the preamp's battery, checking out cables, changing strings, picks etc - all of them with no effect. Yesterday by chance I came up with an idea to plug the guitar into line input at the back of my UX2 and the guitar finally started to perform as it should! The difference is huge.

And here comes a question: how should such a guitar be connected to UX2? Should I use front Instrument normal input, or stick to back Line input?

And maybe the Instrument Input is corrupted and makes also my electric guitar and bass sound unnatural? Is there any way to check it out in terms of sound quality (No, I don't have any other guitar interface to compare with)?

More info:

- I record through Gearbox with ALL the amps/mics/cabinets/effects off

- I keep levels securely under peaks, no possibility of distortion

- Recording is done with the same software and settings in both cases (instrument normal/line in)

- I/ve also checked my piezo-acoustic guitar through Instrument pad input, as it has lower sensitivity. The sound was slightly better than the one recorded through normal instrument input but worse than line input option

the pickup/preamp/eq built into my acoustic guitar is signed by Shadow, should work well at least.

So, to put it another way:

- how should I connect acoustic guitar with piezo pick-up and active preamp to UX2;

- how can I know if the UX2 Instrument input doesn't lower also the quality of my electric guitar and bass sound?

Thx in advance for help,

Mike

Can´t get gear box into midi track?

support@line6.com — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:52:24 GMT

I am very ner at this and I am really puzzeled about something.

I just tried to record my first song in my Abelton program. I made the drum track without problems.

Then I wanted to put a guitar track on. Now I got problems.

I open a gear box VST plug in (Can chose between mono, mono/stereo and stereo) and draw one of them to the midi track. Gear box comes up..I chose the sound I want..Then nothing. I can hear it when I use gearbox stand alone..But..

I get no signal into the Abelton track.

I could with the EZ drummer..I have pod farm and all updates from my gear box..But still can´t play the guitar and record it together with the drum track.

So I try to put it on an audio track instead. Sure..I can record now..But no effects or anything from my UX2 / gear box. Just a dull dry guitar straight into the track sound.

What am I doing wrong..???

Greatful for answer
