Anyone got a Line6 Toneport yet?

Thinking about getting one of these for ease of use, but I already have a soundcard...

I am wondering what sort of results they can get and how they would work in CuBase?

here is a good guide to answer my second question, the question of how it sounds remains

Good advice guys... from what I have seen with Line6 they get good tones quite easily although I am not sure how good they would be at getting weird and interesting tones...

basically I am looking for something to get good guitar tones from - if you compare my entry to Locrians mine sounds poorly recorded, at least the lead guitar does whereas the rest is reasonably recorded...

Locrian uses a POD XT and I am thinking - go Line6... and listening to Ttz it might be a decent idea.
I don't like the idea of attaching it to my comp only to be controlled by the computer and go into my other soundcard, but its probably easier than getting a decent tone out of the software I am using now...

ttz - any luck with recording some tones yet? Also, would you explain the process you have to go through to record and what your setup is...

The first bit is clean and the next stuff is through the device... and its all generally me having a muckaround

My housemate has one, i tried installing it on my laptop and it messed up my audio programs

Any new intallation can do that... I am running it as a standalone unit controlled by the computer and connected analog to my other soundcard (I dont trust it to take over ASIO with cubase)

I dont really get the whole ASIO thing

I have a creative mp3+ external USB soundcard, and it doesn't require ASIO drivers... i get no noticable latency when recording.

Then in the summer i bought a creative live! 24bit USB external (from ocuK)... thinking this card would be better than the mp3+... i got terrible latency, tried various ASIO drivers etc...

In the end i just sent it back to OCUK

Get yourself an M-Audio 2496... ASIO is very useful for latency and effects and such... it is generally used in sequencers such as Cubase
