Hello everyone, it's taken me some time, but I think I have a pretty good setup for somebody recording music for themselves. And I should mention once again : "I record music for MYSELF, NOT FOR MONEY OR PROFESSIONALLY".
I'm no expert, not a pro. at any instrument that I play. Although I do try.
That being said, here is the thing and my setup : I am using a TONEPORT KB37 to record with. I also use Windows 10. I was 3 months away from getting the free upgrade from POD FARM 1 "Which I have" to POD FARM 2 after Pod Farm come out, and that rather upset me because I bought the TONE PORT KB 37. Meaning LINE 6 DOES apparently NOT SUPPORT THEIR HARDWARE AS TIME GOES ON.
Not to mention I purchased every package they had for POD FARM 1 except their BASS PACKAGE.
Meaning I spent a TON OF MONEY and got told "PURCHASING THEIR HARDWARE DOES NOT ENTITLE YOU TO UPDATES ON THEIR SOFTWARE EVEN THOUGH YOU SPEND MONEY ON THEIR SOFTWARE PACKAGES".
Just wanted to point that out, because I spent upwards buying the packages and the hardware of say 600 dollars or more considering my Toneport KB37 cost.
Uhm, I was told I was 3 months too late for their free hardware Pod Farm 2 upgrade.
A 3 month LIMIT that was really robbing people who are TIED to using the Line 6 Tone port KB 37, that is TIED to the device. If you are using POD FARM 1 that is.
You know, I could understand a company NOT SUPPORTING software upgrades, but NOT SUPPORTING SOMEONE WHO PURCHASED THEIR HARDWARE AND THEIR SOFTWARE is really kind of ridiculous.
OKAY, Sorry for the rambling and ranting. I'm sure some of you have similar stories.
Here's my thing : I purchased the full TH3 Overloud Guitar software and the FULL Mark BASS 2 software from Overloud. They work great. THEY ARE GREAT!!!!!!!!!! No HARDWARE TIES like KB37!!!!!!!
I want to make a change and get away from Line 6 altogether because of the issues I mention above.
Any recommendations on a AUDIO INTERFACE to record with for around 150 to 200 dollars?
I am done with LINE 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I would have just purchase their SOFTWARE, I could understand the UPGRADE ISSUE, but I not only purchased their packages for POD FARM 1, I also purchased their HARDWARE KB37 and was told I was 3 months too late for the free upgrade to POD FARM 2. That just isn't right. IN MY OPINION.
Thoughts on a great recording interface for around 150 -200 dollars? Audio Input control and a HIGH Z option, along with 24/48 recording are a must.
I'm looking at a Steinberg and Saffire Focurite model right now for around those prices. The extra software that comes with them means nothing to me, or that is I could care less about CUBASE!!!!!! CUBASE SUCKS in my opinion but their device does sound pretty solid for recording. As for the Focurite Saffire, I'm not sure........
Thoughts on this? Have another suggestion for around the price I am mentioning?
Thanks in advance,
Bobby
