Yeah it sure was wasn't it. I got it because I wanted to see what Tuomas of Nightwish had to say about the change in lineup. The second was the Halford interview and the bit about Maiden. But that was a bit of a rouse as well, wasn't it.

Ok so this post is great. . . except one thing. . . I DON'T HAVE THOSE OPTIONS ON MY LAPTOP!!! Ok, so i tried everything, on my Windows Vista, i right clicked on what is called "volume mixer" since it is not called windows volume control. Even went into my control panel to see if i could edit the settings. Anyone else use a laptop Dell Inspiron 1520 with Vista on it. . . or anything similar to it? Right now, all i have options for is turning the volume up on speakers or windows sounds. Thanks

Sorry attium88, I'm sticking with XP, and I have no idea what you should see under Vista. Some of the other guys have Vista, and can maybe shed some light.

Give me a day and I'll get something up for Vista users.

This would be interesting Doc - apart from the 8 seconds of madness before I heaved the Realtek out to make way for the TonePort, I have no experience with the Vista audio control procedures.

Since the Realtek is integrated into the motherboard this means you heaved out your whole computer.

ORIGINAL: Doc_Hollingsworth I need a few more days. Business first. Indeed - your priorities are correct. I asked only out of interest really, it's not likely I'll un-assign the TonePort as my soundcard and use the Realtek! Who would?

I may regret asking this, but I've got to hear your explanation of that one. Eternally masochistic.

RobertB, The Toneport has mono input and the Realtek has stereo. If you need to use stereo effects pedals, processors or instruments (ie keyboard), and retain the "stereoness" what would you use? The mono or stereo interface?

The Toneport is mono where the Realtek is stereo. This allows other effects which are stereo to be used. Hey Bob/Doc/anyone with more than 3 working brain cells - bit of help here please guys. When I got my TonePort, I assumed [correctly] that it would be specifically designed to handle input and output audio and that it would out-perform the Realtek HD chip inbuilt my new PC. One thing I wanted to be certain of was that it would operate in stereo so I took the trouble to check this out beforehand - hey, you wouldn't want to say anything dumb like it only works in mono without checking that out now would you! I checked my settings in Gearbox as these screenshots show - the first one shows the output to GT3 set to Mono - with the red Mono light aglow: This shows the Mono light not aglow - according to the manual this means my effects will go out with some stereoness: Further to this, my TonePort has the ability to input two different signals either using separate XLR or standard jack inputs, as well as the two line-level inputs, one for each channel of stereoness. As far as outputting in stereoness, the two analogue outs handle one channel of the stereo signal each, plus there is a digital stereo co-ax out and the last time I listened, the headphone socket outputs in stereo as well. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

You are assuming that Line6 only makes one model. The toneport GX is only mono.

Well, I've got to give you both points on that one. Until recently, I didn't even know the GX existed, and it seems to have a specific purpose, to record a single guitar, from a mono input. It does appear to have stereo out. The UX1 and UX2 do have stereo inputs via line in, or variations on the instrument/mic inputs. Clearly the UX2 is the most versatile of the three. One thing this illustrates is do your homework, and shop carefully. I can see where the GX would be most useful, but indeed, it cannot accept a stereo input. On the other hand, the UX2 can accept a stereo input, and would be a suitable interface for instruments that have a stereo output. Since a keyboard would have a line level output (if present) the line ins are ideal. While my setup is somewhat more complex, with an external mixer and internal sound card, the net effect is the same as the UX2. You can feed line or instrument signals, in stereo or mono, to the computer. And, sorry pete, this can be done with little to no latency because of the more efficient drivers and hardware of these sound cards, aka interfaces.
