Soilwork - Line 6 Toneport UX2 Test

[ShimmySystem]

Nice. I got a GX but I might get a UX2 so I can have more features, especially microphone inputs.

[giwrgos1349]

which amp from the ux2 do you use in this video?

[Doeneridoe]

ok, system is great, i use it too. your crappy riff sounds great too ;)

[ShimmySystem]

I'm thinking of getting a toneport GX and using it with peavey mkiii.

I use a VST program that plays live and can record at the same time.

I can do all of this and have minimal noise? Main reason I'm getting a toneport is because using distortion effects and microphone-in port makes feedback and screeching.

[WidekMusic]

As We Speak the best :)

[Olikid182]

so i fi have alredy got a recording machine with 12 indervidual tracks on and loads of fx dont i need 1 of these?

[fatalmasterpiece]

I think your riffs are pretty good, however, I might try playing them in a different key to make them stand out from some of the current music out there.

Sounds good.

[Jacksonian1223]

Key signature has nothing to do with it. lol it will be the same intervals either way. But I do agree with you however about how generic music is today.

[fatalmasterpiece]

Of course, on the other hand, it could give it a more unique tone.

[menogay]

ummm...no it wouldn't

[l3tl3v]

Key = Tonal center, I doubt he was talking about key signature.

[lobster272]

get amplitube 2 or revalver mkIII. they work really well with toneports. i have a ux2 also. its sweet.

[filipopolis1976]

I've got a question about recording with ux: is it possible to PLAYBACK the backing track AND RECORD your part at the same time? If yes, is there any latency on it? Is it possible to monitor the overall mix in real time?

[thefreezingmoon1]

Hey dude what mic are you using?

[flnx33]

quality is bad, i've got ux2 too and know that can be better :P work on your equalizer

[Sybreeder]

Can I see a video of your playing?

Then I can compare the tone to that on my 'One with the flies solo' as this is an old video

Because I checked your comments on other peoples and saw alot of whining, I want to see if you were just shooting your mouth off or not.

[jimppqq]

I love Soil work. Really like you playing.

As we speak!

i WONDER if you have power pack add on?

Also my friends suggest me to buy a pod.

"Theyre not that much more expensive, plus with PODs you can run them direct to amps as well as record. "

Do they cover the same sounds and amps?

Thank you.

[skizzle3dizzle]

I just got one for christmas, and for some reason, it occasionally clips. Any suggestions on how to get rid of the clicky clippy whitenoise sound? And its not a physical click, only audio.

[XxCloudyxX]

If you use a program such as Audacity, go to edit > Preferences > and set your recording / output to Line 6 UX2, unless you have multiple speakers, then set the output to whatever you'd like.

[CamaraMan5000]

How do u record with that???? Cuz i got 1 and don't know how....please reply..

[Baionette]

this port goes to usb, and then you use it with the programs it brings to record guitars, bass, or vocal tracks. The UX2 @ 200 bucks, brings the pod farm program, which basically makes your guitar sound insane when recording even though you dont have all that expensive gear that's emulated in the program ;).

@milesleedham: This is a recording interface. The effects you hear are not because of the interface, but product of the programs used. (I.E. Pod Farm)

[MOZZIE246]

awesome man! keep the gr8 work up!!

[milesleedham]

dude!

can you like take your ux2, for example on stage and programme in the settings you want without any need for a computer to be near by???

cheers dude,

and also whats the deal with getting drums in there? ( loops etcccc )

[djGentoo]

Your "crappy riffs" sound like something Sonic Syndicate would do (which isn't exactly an insult).

[Sybreeder]

Eek Sonic Syndicate? :S I didn't even think that band used riffs, I thought they just used cheesy octave harmonies and open chugs synced with the bass drum....very original stuff lol :P

[djGentoo]

Sorry about that. I was just trying to be honest without being rude. If those are your crappy riffs, your good ones probably sound a lot better. Besides, this is a really old video...

[Xeter245]

Hey Sybreeder! Very nice playing here!

I was wondering if you could tell me your settings you use on Bastard Chain?

Thanks :)

[Sybreeder]

Thank you.

I honestly don't remember my settings, this was done before I bought the metal shop for the toneport.

Now I like to use the bigbottom amp for rhythms and the engl powerball model (can't remember the line6 name for it) for leads.

[Xeter245]

Oh ok :) Did you use Gearbox? I've just ordered my UX2 :)

[Sybreeder]

Yeah afaik you have to use gearbox with toneports because theres no menu on the toneport itself to select an amp model.

Youll love the toneport, nothing beats jamming guitar at 2am without the neighbours shouting at you ;D

[Xeter245]

Hahaha xD So agreed xD

But you like your UX2? And is there many possibilities in GearBox which follows?

[System9001]

So, do you have to hook the 'Line 6 Toneport UX2' up to an AMP or anything, or just striaght into your computer?

[wastedwithin]

Just into the computer. I use the Analog Outs going into my amp to use while practicing though.

[iHaveBadGrammer]

I recently got the toneport ux2 and I'm a complete noob with anything dealing with recording. I thought the usb connection between the toneport and the computer would allow the sound from my guitar to be transmitted by my computer speakers. But apparently not. I have the USB connected, and my guitar connected to the toneport, what else do I have to do?

[twilightzone2012]

same thing happened to me but i found a way around it. i have two sets of computer speakers and one set which have a plug that fits right into the headphones jack with an adapter atached to it. so maybe find some speakers with a plug that will fit in the phones jack. or you gotta go to your sound settings and set the playback and/or recording to line 6, you gotta fuck around with it

[amaurythewarrior]

what you need to do ? READ THE GODDAMN MANUAL!

just kidding but seriously when you open gearbox you have that window that tells you "we'll show help getting strated"!

[Sapmaker]

Hey man, I think that's awesome but could you please tell me what settings you used in Gearbox for example for the Asylum part? I'm still having difficulties finding good settings but yours seem great.. thanx!

[mikestix78]

sounds great! are these from the stock sounds that come with the toneport?

[Sybreeder]

In the video they are yeah.

If you want to hear the best tone I've got from the toneport check out my mors principium est video with some good headphones on :)

[xTristan1994]

could you send me that preset? :o

[RMPalm2000]

you can get good tones. You've just got to work with the gearbox software. You've got to expierement alot with different amps and effects

[FFc9909Q]

This is not horrible playing. Keep going.

[MatthewRizazzo]

I second that

[dietcokeis]

how do u record with the toneport ux2 do you need a program

[HHeplo]

I use Reaper.

You can get better sounds with it, if use it like "Guitar -> Distortion pedal -> UX2" and set drive to "0", from amp models.

[starlessnight111]

ye but how do u get it to record...ive got reaper, but i cant record the instrument, there is the guitar plugged in the toneport here is sound, but if i pres on record on reaper it wont get any sound

[Metatheist]

I have the UX2 too but all the buuilt in sounds suck ass :S

Which ones do you use?

[EyelessGrae]

Oi, the second "crappy riff" is fucking awesome, I'd love to see you flesh it out into a full song. I bought a UX2 about 2 months ago, as well, and have been recording my own songs non-stop, maybe we can do some stuff sometime. I use RiffWorks to record ($100 to buy it out), and it's definitely worth it if you're looking to form songs together.

[theriven1]

cool riffs : ) sounds great

[servinyallchickens]

sweet playing man

[SamusFTW]

The thng is great! You have the power pack right? :)
