POD Farm 2.5 now offers compatibility with any USB audio interface, 64-bit support, standalone capability, and the new free trial version.

In addition to the version 2.5 updates, Line 6 released a new, free trial version. Vague, no meat.It's time to update your POD Farms - Line 6 has released POD Farm 2.5 and POD Farm 2.5 Platinum, updated plugins that add POD tone to any DAW. When i look at table of contents, click audio settings on the contents list, it just has a few vahue paragraphs that lack anythjng with any solid substance for me. The Line 6 pod farm manual just gives basic intro to it's bits and pieces at like an introductory pamphlet level, but isn't really telling me anything.įor e.g. But hearing raw signal from guitar/mixer/ableton. In L6 itself, in hardware preferences i can choose ASIO or MX-1, although each time i choose either, then return to try somethibg else, it appears though it has possibly reset to the option box being empty. Line 6 Pod Farm 2.65 appears not to hear it.Īlso, I do not see any immediately obvious reference to L6 pod/farm that I'm aware of within Ableton audio pref's (incase of a needed proprietry driver that L6 may depend on), nor listed under vsts, 2, or 3. Mixer connected via USB to the desktop (Win 10 home), and both Ableton and my monitors ''hear'' the guitar. I have a guitar hooked into audio ch1 on my Roland Aira MX-1 mixer. I'm finding that a) I appear to have no signal going in or out from line 6 (standalone mode itself). So, all in all, it works well for the purposes of a non-professional or maybe even a semi-pro recording. But you can record a clean, unprocessed signal into your DAW and then post-process it with POD Farm plugin any way you want. For the price I recommend buying a Line 6 guitar interface so you get your decent USB hardware and POD Farm (2) software included.Īs for the application itself, like I said it runs allright as a standalone program (in that mode you will record an already processed signal, like the way you do now with your Spider amp) but when running it as a plugin under Ableton Live there is some monitoring latency when playing/recording - I guess a little more (or a lot more maybe) RAM and some faster CPU would solve the case, but I'm stuck with my current laptop for now.

The amp choice is so cool and all the effects and other possibilities like mic placement or room ambience (I mean 'natural' reverb, not random noises and birds singing ).

The POD Farm is really ok for home recording, and I guess with a little bit more sound engineering knowledge you could make it sound even better, like semi-pro recordings.
