Got my UX2 - how do I record it with Audacity?

[wgabree]

Checked the sticky topics, and chased after vst - but I have no idea what i'm doing and I don't want to spend hours trying to finger this out....

google searches aren't helping...

Just fire up Audacity and hit the record button.
You can also drag a backing track into Audacity.
Hit record and a new track will fire up  under the backing track.

Just fire up Audacity and hit the record button.

didn't work - flatline

 

[stratogeezer]

Is your UX2 working?

 

[wgabree]

with headphones it sounds awesome - just not picking up any sound via audacity...

how do you tell audacity to use it as input???`

 

[stratogeezer]

Ok so that's eliminated.
It's probably just a setting in Audacity you need to change.
I'm thinking....
The good news is there's plenty of Audacity experts here.
In audacity click on edit ..preferences

 

[stratogeezer]

You might have to experiment here...

Dave(Bluewater)is the Audacity man.

Yay!!  After restarting Audacity a few times it finally had line6 as an recording input option in the preferences!

Here's my test run track

[stratogeezer]

Cool!!

 

[wgabree]

Wow - that some good tone on that POD Farm!  I'm extremely impressed!

Glad you folks clued me in on that one!

 

[BignJames]

Wow....less than an hour....took me about a week.

 

[stratogeezer]

The UX's with Pod Farm is the best gear bang for the buck ever.
I would replace mine in a heartbeat if something ever went wrong with it.

 

[MikeS]

I'm glad you got that worked out. Strato you da man!

 

[Chris L. Babcock]

I liked it!!

 

[wgabree]

I'm glad you got that worked out. Strato you da man!

He sure is - he pointed me exactly to the right location in the software to focus on to get it working!

Thanks again!

 

[gpower]

Yep, it's a great pice of gear.

UX2 with Podfarm is the best.  The variety & quality of the tones you can get from it is unbelievable.

Thanks for the post Wayne ( loved the demo track by the way).
I have been thinking of buying  Pod Studio UX2 as all the reviews I've read have been very positive but it had crossed my mind about how to get stuff from UX2 onto the computer to Audacity. I think your question and stratogeezers' answer have solved that problem.

Thanks

Steve

Yeah - Line 6 did engineer it so that it could be used by virtually any recording software you could want, or output to any recording device you could want.  Very flexible.

And thanks - that's my favorite thing to do:  Blues in E, which I embellish and play around with.
