Some of the DAW companies offer a free limited trial version which is what is included when you buy a new unit. If you buy a used UX2 with software you will most likely NOT be able to use the DAW software as it is licensed to the original purchaser and requires a license key to use. If you bu y a new unit a DAW is included. You will need a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation)software such as Sonar, Ableton Live or Pro tools. If you purchase a used UX2 and it does not have the software with it Line 6 will allow you to download PODfarm free from their website.
It's made of plastic so it does have a light weight feel,I have heard this described as "cheap" or "junky",but it's an interface not a baseball bat! The software that comes with a new unit includes PODfarm which is a great modeling software featuring many effects,amps and cabinets to have fun with. THIS IS A GREAT INTERFACE! I purchased my Line 6 TonePort UX2 Recording Interface used on ebay and I can't say enough good about it! I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in getting into home recording. Read full reviewīUY THIS THING! You will love it and wonder why you didn't already have one Powered is important because it is usually powered by the computer, so if it's not plugged directly into the computer's native USB ports, it needs external power. I plugged the Toneport and the Ignition Key into it and it worked perfectly, so, while I can't speak for every situation, the Toneport seems to work perfectly (without any noticeable latency) running through the *powered* USB hub. I ran to the store (drove, rather) and got a *powered* USB hub. Also, I ran out of USB ports on my mac (comes with 2) because I usually run a MIDI keyboard, the Toneport, and the Ignition Key (copyright protection thing from Propellerhead). To recap for others, I'm using Mac OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and Propellerhead Reason/Record. I haven't used other audio/recording interfaces so I can't compare anything but this one seems like a great value! Very affordable compared to the next ones in line.**** I believe the only difference is the software it comes with, which I don't use since I'm using Record to do all the amp modeling and effects.) I can't really find anything wrong with the UX2, it's really intuitive to use and suits my needs perfectly.**** (For clarification sake, I got the 1st generation UX2 that has the red face. I did of course download the driver from Line6's website beforehand.**** I use Propellerhead Reason 5.0 + Record 1.5 and Record picked the Toneport up right away as the audio in/out source. It works great! The signal is much more controllable and stable as opposed to plugging directly into my Mac. I bought the UX2 so I could record my bass, guitar, and theremin through it.
Great Interface! Great Value! Perfect for me!
