Dude I have the Ux2 and i tried this preset on my guitar ( schecter hellraiser c-1), and it sounds bad, so i presume that the "magic trick" of this tone is in the mixing . What do you think about making a tuturial about mixing and mastering ? :)
Hey look, i know this might be a stupid question but im new to line 6 recordings. Can I record in line 6 then export it into other software such as cubase and pro tools, thanks.
@HeavyGuitarMachine its also in the pickups. if you have a guitar with cheaper pickups (duncan designed, etc) you'll wanna swap those out for some decent ones, or ones that fit your style of playing.
Just copied your settings on by UX2 and I must admit, this tone sounds freakin awesome. I wouldn't know where to start with all the equalisers etc. so that was a great help. Cheers!
So what are you using for your speakers? I have mine in some small(ish) speakers and it sounds nothin like this! I can hear it but even my 5 watt amp sounds better! You think it's the speakers?
Hey @GabRock91 old house :D I'm gonna buy Pod Studio UX2 in this month or in the next! Gotta lot work to do so I'm screwed, btw man one things still bothers me. Do I get the full version of the software that comes with POD UX2 or are they only trial versions ? Thx man and sorry for bothering you, "again" I just wanna know the POD better :D
@varigleridante696 hey no problem man!!!:P well all the program except for POD Farm ar all light version!! so i recomand u to not install them!! there not worth the place in ur hard drive + there not realy good and usefull so go get Reaper! its only 60$ and its probably one of the best DAW u can get specialy for the price!! also note that POD farm is full but dont include Addional pack like the metal shop and some others!!
@GabRock91 hey man I'm totally new when its about (home) recording guitar/bass/vocals and I'm interested in buying Line 6 pod studio ux2. I have two questions, whats the difference between Line 6 Pod Studio UX2 and Toneport UX2 and what stuff do I need to run pod studio ux2 like butter. I mean I have decent studio speakers/headphones. jack's, strong pc, guitar, 30 W amp, and what is bothering me the most a shit sound card that I'll need to replace, please help man idk how that thing works :(
@varigleridante696 hey!! the diff is pretty simple the pod ux 2 is newer... then the toneport ux 2 i think u wont find any toneport in stores now... and with the pod ux2 u can run pod farm 2 on stand alone and VST so yeah go with the pod ux 2! and also ur computers fine to record!!
@CypherThanatos thanks man on the information now I got that cleared too but my sound card is USB, you know those litte pieces of shit with speaker/mic input so I'll buy a 8 channel card.
@samtheman9912 thanks man! I just wish that I could find pod ux2 somewhere here in Croatia cause I can't find shit here, I saw many interfaces but they are to expensive and complicated to use so its really fucked up. I never bought something via amazon so thats another crap for me. I'll buy the UX2 some other time now I'm gonna stick with my amp :) thanks again and all the best!
How did you get so much distortion without a fuzzy sound? im using the UX2 with an ESP with EMG HZ pickups and i cant play metal/palm muted stuff without a fuzzy sound coming through :( plz heelllpppp
@iluvpigeons hey pretty easy put the gain to the amp sim ur using at something btween 50% to 60% max and then use the overdrive and put the drive knob all the way down the and the tone knob to your liking!! it will give you a tighter sound! and palm muthing!! dont forget to put a noise get also!
@HeavyGuitarMachine it just sound so clean, so i wonder if u also do something to the sound in cubase? sorry im a beginner in recording.. also could be nice if you could make some more pod Metal tones :-) and just overall tone settings and recording tips... great work and playing by the way :-)
@HeavyGuitarMachine thx man realy apreciat it!! and i dont have the POD UX2 i have another audio interface now but il post soon other videos with bunch of metal settings! and yes i did a huge mix and mastering procsess on cubase to achieve that tone! i wont be lying! :p
Great tone man! i'm trying to recreate it, but I'm struggling getting my cab next to my amp. How can I get an amp AND a cab next to eachother? Because I don't know how to put my cab in my effects line O,o
@GabRock91 You got a very good ear sir! Well done! I made a preset by your description, and i am very proud of it! And sounds amazing even without a noise gate, so well done again and thanks.
@22bryant fake...?? dude sorry but u probably dont know what ur talking about... yess pod farm is not the best amp sim!! but it dosent mean u cant get a good sound out of it!! do u know about mixing?? and mastering?? it makes a huge diff in the overall sound!! sure if u just take a tone and just record without doing a good mix and mastering it will sound like shit!! but if u know how make good proscessing with each of ur tracks then ul achieve something good;) so there is no fake thing here!!;)
@GabRock91 I think hes (22bryant) is trying to get a good tone for just playing. Which is fairly hard with a pod. Sure you can make it sound good for recording. But for just practicing. I find it hard to get anything good with my pod ux2. :P Thats why I Just stick with my mesa dual rec and blast it. I also lock my bedroom door so no one can do anything about it ;)
I want to say thank you for taking the time to upload this clip. I used those settings in a tune last night and wow....I was baffled how good the tone sounded. I really apreciate the insight.
@GabRock91 which means you're not using any hardware other than what i mentioned?! great! make a tutorial on pod farm or something! this is awesome! i checked some reviews on pod ux2 and everyone's saying it sucks for metal and you cant get a quality distortion! but this is really cool! please, how do you get this sound?
@tasfa10 haha thx i will eventualy make a tutorial if i get a way to record from the computer... but yeah pod farm isint the best this is true but to say its suck noo!! if u realy take the time to get a good tone and make a good mix and mastering proscess u can get some good stuff!!
@GabRock91 seriously this is awesome. i consider myself a very reasonable player but i know nothing about gear and informatics and stuff xD what do you mean a way to record from your computer? screen recorder?
@naif96 this software is only free wen u get the audio interface Line 6 POD UX series!! if u have a different audio interface like an M-audio or Mbox ul have to pay it...!! and if u dont have any audio interface u wont be able to use it at all!!
@iFluxtion nope!!! basicly i just plug my guitar trough the line 6 Pod UX2(audio interface) and then plug my headphones trough the pod ux2 ass well!! its better use good headphones then computeur speakers... if u CANT aford to get studio monitors!
@BreeBree1731 hey thx for the comments!! and it might sound different!! cuz first cuz of your guitar and your pickups!! and too i did some proscessing with the 4 tracks of the guitars!! wich mean some extra EQ and compressing... pluse bass and all!! u have to mix all your instrument and try to make them sound all together and youl see a huge difference!! aneway the tone is already cool so its a good start!! if u have some kestion feel free to ask!
@ihavetourettesxx Hey for the ez drummer if u wanna a trick you have to EQ the bass drum...and put a compressor on the sanre and the basse drum!! and for the tone welll do u have good pickups?? cuz it does make a difference for like 70% to the tone!! but wtv thk you for the comment!!
@GabRock91 ah. I stopped compressing the snare and bass because i just couldn't get it right. Guess ill have another go at it, and for the pickups, nope. They are pretty bad, but that means I can go look for some nice pickups. Thanks man.
@ihavetourettesxx Hey thx man!! if you ever have some kestion bout pickups or tone or mixing or recording feeelll free to ask!!! and also if u do metal try to not go for emgs there not bad but not for recording...!!! specialy if your not using a real amp... with pod farm its gonna sound EVEN more fake...!! so yeah good luck with your pickups shoping!:P
i cant't make my fucking squills on that shit and i have a dean cfh
