The final installment in this series just went up yesterday. How to Record a Song - Part 6: Mixing and Mastering

Can I use my "POD X3 Live" as an audio interface?

[line6movies]

@gleez90 Absolutely. I made a video about that called "Propellerhead Record + Line 6 POD X3 Live." It's an older video, but still applies to the latest greatest Propellerhead software, which is Reason 6. Record has been discontinued, and 100% of its functionality, plus tons of great new features, have been included in Reason 6. X3 Live will function the same way with Reason 6 as in the video.

where do you download of buy the program that you use?

[line6movies]

@DemiZoons Propellerhead Reason 6 is what you need, and you can find it shopping online or at any major music store. There's also a dealer locator at Line 6 Dot Com. The software in the video is an older version (Record Reason Duo), but after this video was created, Reason 6 was released. It's got everything you see in the video, and more!

@TheFunnyscool Line 6 UX2 works with almost any recording software, including Audacity.

this is weird, i'm trying to record wih reason and the program seemed to hear my bass guitar (connected through zoom g2.1u) but there was no output sound and it seemed to record nothing. Anyone knows what that could be?

@line6movies I went ahead and upgraded Logic 9, Omnisphere, Trilian, Stylus because it was actually only $149 more : ) Trilian was FREE! And Stylux as well so I just had to pay for the Omnisphere upgrade. However, I am going to go ahead and get Reason 6 as well HAHA! I just love it too much! I actually use to OWN Reason a few years ago but sold the license when I bought a house. Needed quick cash so I sold a bunch of music gear/software. I miss it. I'll be getting it next week WOOHOO!
