It doesn't have to be big, but keep your products alive and listen to what customers are saying.

#Pod farm update#

Release an update for Pod, Variax, etc every year or 6 months. I'd put some love into the existing flagship products. But it has become increasingly difficult to think of Line6 as the leader because they are at least one generation behind right now. I'm a former Line6 fan - the company's products represented the best available digital modeling in my price range. In order to be the leading digital modeling company, Line6 has to regularly release new products or updates on a schedule that not just holds pace with any single competitor, but holds pace with the market as a whole.

The latter two have grown a lot in the past 5 years.

Line6's amp and effect modeling faces competition from its old digital modeling foes (Digitech, BOSS, Zoom, etc), the higher end market (Kemper and Fractal), as well as software apps (Scuffham Amps, Bias, Native Instruments, etc). In other words, just the modeling technology and not anything around that like repackaging existing algorithms into a different form factor. When I say 'amps and effects modeling', I mean the tone, quality, feel, and selection of modeled amps and effects. Line6 has not pushed the boundaries of amp and effects modeling since 2010 when Pod HD came out. Almost any temperate leafy green plant can be grown in the Produce Pod, but we have had particular success with plants such as lettuce, basil, mint, parsley. I'm a Line6 customer who really does love a lot of your hardware that I've owned/own but the software side of things seems so far behind.Д¬lick to expand.Replace 'software side of things' with 'amp and effects modeling'. Pod Farm does not even keep up with the hdx500. But most of all I want to see some communication from Line6 about what's ahead for software amp modeling without only promises of nebulous improvements. I want to see something that competes with the S-Gears, BIASes, Recabinets and maybe even Axes and Kempers. If I select the volume pedal in the signal chain a close up of the pedal will open up in the window above the signal chain. I'm afraid I'm going to see the same algorithms and simulations that Line6 has been using for years only repackaged into a new software with a new pricetag. Now that the midi signal from the shortboard will get to POD Farm, I can use the Midi Learn function. I want to see some real innovation in the area of software from Line6. And it's selling for more than the cost of some DAW software. Line6 defined the digital modeling world for many years but Pod Farm, while there's still some great sounds in there, has fallen very far behind most all other modeling software. That may make sense from a business perspective but what about SOUND?

I expect the 'big plans' to be something along the lines of some sort of appstore or home software that maybe sells amps or something. I've seen it in most guitar forums along with the Line6 forums. I don't see that option anywhere any more and began to get confused.Click to expand.The problem is that people have been asking this for years with nothing real materializing. In the last version of Reaper I used (several years back), there was a drop down menu on the track slider that let you select inputs. I'll look into this next time I'm at home and in front of my set up. Set the second track to record outputs 3&4 from the UX2/POD Farm that have the 'dry' signal. Set the first track to record outputs 1&2 from the UX2/POD Farm that have the the 'wet' signal. Set up two tracks without any plugins to record the outputs from your UX2 from or through the standalone PODFarm. The following assumes you have enabled all the inputs coming from your UX2.ДЄlternative #1) set up a second track with no FX on it, but using the same Rec input to capture the dry signal along with the 'wet' on the first track.ДЄlternative #2) use the stand alone POD Farm instead of the plugin: I believe the issue then is that the track is set to record the plugin FX output instead of the original input signal.Д¬lick on the 'Source' button or right click the 'Arm' or 'Record' button and select record input.Д¬lick on the Rec input button or selector to select the Mic/Line or Instr channel from your UX2 interface.Д¬lick on the Monitor button and select the appropriate monitoring source. I assume you have the plugin installed and working already. I am having a little trouble getting the POD Farm plug-in to work the way I used to recall it working.
