Line 6 Toneport Ux1
Price paid: £68
The Line 6 Toneport Ux1 is a USB interface that works with both PC and MAC, it allows you to record guitar, midi and vocals to your computer in a few easy steps. This is a great way into home recording and at a price which isnt going to break the bank.
The package comes with all you need to get recording straight away and I have used it with Ableton (included), Garageband and Pro Studio 9.
Connections
It connects to your computer via USB and offers XLR, Instrument Inputs and Headphones and Line Outputs. I will mention that you cant listen to the audio through your computer speakers, only monitor speakers or headphones.
In Use
Once setup and working (look for a green light on top) you can starting straight away. You can either use the included Gearbox software (doesnt currently work on Snow Leopard) or just use it as a way of interfacing your instruments to your computer. The only controls you have on the unit itself are volume and MIC gain so all the controls are on your computer.
Overall
This unit is perfect for someone who wants to start recording music at home, easy to setup and comes with all you need and at a price that can be justified.

Snow Leopard breaks Line 6 Toneport
Just wanted to post some news that ive just found out, if you use the Line 6 Toneport UX1 to record your music then you might want to hold off installing Snow Leopard.
I've found out the hard way that it completely breaks it, I have installed the latest drivers from their site and whenever you plug the toneport in it crashes the OS.
Updates to follow.
