I had some pretty major problems with my hardware the past couple of months. To begin with, my UX1 performed excellently. However, for some strange reason, it began to malfunction in a way that rendered it useless around Christmas time. In an attempt to remedy the situation, I adjusted the volume levels, tried different effects models, updated the drivers, updated the software, used alternative third-party recording software, rebooted dozens of times, and still everything kept coming out sounding totally muffled. "This is useless" I thought to myself. "It is for music...how can it lack fidelity like this?!"

So I posted on the Line 6 forum and waited. Then something funny happened. I recieved advice on the best course of action to take, and then when I fired up my broken UX1 to take it, it was already working. Just like that. Very curious. While Im lamenting the fact I don't know why it wasn't working before, I am finding that I am very appreciative that it does work. And when this baby does work, oh man it works!

Which brings me to the purpose of this article - the things Ive written and recorded. Four songs in total. One was recorded while the UX1 was being a bit funny, so the sound quality, (and musicianship quality!) are both off. Two were made with the UX1 operating at "peak efficiency" (!) over the past couple of days, and sound much better, and the fourth is a completely different animal, as it was made with 8-bit tracking software. So enough blabbing - check out the link above and have a listen!
