When I am tracking guitar into my computer, I want to run my DAW at a low-buffer setting (32 samples) to reduce the monitoring latency. Something that I like about the software are the plug-in 'singles. It can be pretty CPU intensive if you load a munch of gear models across all the parallel processing chains. I haven't come across any bugs in the software. Line 6 has updated the graphical user interface, so it is easy to drag-and-drop gear models into the signal chain. It is really easy to get started with the software when you open it up. It is kind of annoying, but it was cheaper for me to upgrade this way rather than upgrade to the iLok. I purchased the software with the Gear Box interface, so I have to use that as a dongle.
Authorization is available with iLok if you purchase the software new rather than upgrading. I upgraded to Pod Farm 2 from Pod Farm 1 from Gear Box. Line 6 Pod Farm 2 is a software product that can either be used as a plug-in in a DAW or as a stand-alone application. If you are currently using Farm 2 I recommend upgrading to version 2.5 or Farm 2.5 Platinum! Most of the time I use it it in Cubase 5 or Reaper, I have only used it in Logic 1 time and really didn’t like using it in that DAW so I never did it again though it did work fine and will work fine as long as you are using version 9.2 in Logic. You can run Farm 2 or 2.5 on a Mac or a PC as a RTAS, AU, or a VST. I can load up several different instances of it without having to worry about it getting slow or crashing on me in my DAW. I was very surprised on how well 2.5 has been on my CPU too. I can just open up Farm 2.5 and start playing. Version 2.5 has allowed me to use it has a standalone version and not even have load up my DAW. There are not any small hard to read text and a bunch of sub menus. There is even a search bar at the top where you can do a search to bring the styles you are looking for.
But as far as the sounds that you can use, they are all set up in a simple easy to understand system that are categorized by source folders and then put into another window by “name” “Author” and “type”. The interface is not the easiest interface to use and it has took me some time to get use to it even when I was using the standard version 2 and just purchased it I was spending some time reading through the manual to get the swing of things before I just dove right in and started using it. Version 2.5 has some flexible digital processing that will give a wider and fuller range of tones when using it. The Line 6 POD Farm 2 is a tone plug in, I have recently upgraded to POD Farm 2.5 after using Farm 2 for quite some time.
