I use Toneport GX, which is the most simple and cheap Toneport, and I love it so far.
Does it's job, it's easy to use, and doesn't cause any problem so far

Toneport is indeed a great device to get you into recording..Can make great demos and everything else you need recorded at home
My recommendation..

Yeah, Bogdan has the TOneport UX2 and its a very very good device. I have UX1 myself and it helps building demo songs in no time.

Yes you can do that, I sometimes mic my amp but I have a crappy Samson Q4 mic. The ideal mic is probably SM57 for starters. IT has great midrange sound and you can get some great results when you tweak it a little. Also if you're planning to mic your amp, and you wanna good tone, record it dry as possible, cover the amp with some blankets or something for starters and experiment a lot with your gear, liek the angle of the mic, EQing, reverberation damping in the recording room etc. Sometimes you can get great results if you find a sweet spot combination of all those factors.

Thanks again for the info. Since I know Jack and Squat about recording, before I order the stuff, how would this mic be for the recording?: Shure PG57 Or, should I just go ahead and spend the extra $40 and get the SM57 -------------------- Gear I wish I still owned:

Thanks again for the replies and advice guys, especially Milenkovic Ivan and Bogdan. I really, really appreciate it. I guess I'm going to go ahead and order this unit. I just wish the software had a drum machine integrated into it, as it would save me from having to buy this as well: Boss DR-670 Drum Machine

Toneport looks to me more recording oriented..For example in toneport ux2 you have two XLR inputs, two line inputs , two footswitch inputs , monitor outs (direct monitoring),two instrument inputs ...And there are even more advanced versions of toneport like KB37 and ux8 ..

Toneport does require a good machine, but not a super fast machine. P4 or Athlon with 1GB ram will do just fine if you ask me. I don't know for anything else m8, I have Toneport but I use different software (Nuendo), and I don't have any experiences with POD. I hope I helped a bit..
