GearBox and Reaper

You can't use the standalone gearbox within Reaper. You will need to pay for Pod Farm to use your UX2 models as a VST plugin. The clicks and pops may be caused by dodgy drivers on your PC. Use the DPC Latency Checker () to see if there are any problems in that respect. Using this tool on my own system I found that the NIC driver and the CPU throttling was the root of my dropout problems. The latter required a visit to the BIOS to disable C1E and EIST.

On a related note, a while back Line6 was offering PodFarm free to Gearbox users. Check your account there, and maybe the "Line 6 Monkey" updater to see if this is still true.

the other guys are right about the podfarm vst, but i used to use the gearbox vst for a long time before pod farm came about. Look in your line 6 program folder and see if you can find the gearbox.dll

ok, so i can't have GearBox as a plug-in? i'm using windows 7 with a 64 bit operating system.

You could try setting the Gearbox standalone audio driver to Rearoute asio (you may not have it installed, it needs to be checked when you install Reaper). Then you just set a track in Reaper to record armed, input = Rearoute 1+2...it should work in theory (I probably have the standalone too, I will try and check that). I dont know how you are routing it now, it must be a soundcard default or something. Pod Farm 2 is definitely worth getting btw. :)

the set up is good. what's next?

been a while since i used gearbox. if i remember correctly, you can change the input/output types and record both wet and dry signals simultaneously to reaper. just think of gearbox as an external device going into the toneport's audio inputs. also, i remember that stuff not being exactly intuitive. you definitely don't need the plugin to record though.

You can use them seperately - I do all the time. Your ASIO driver is not configured properly if you're getting pops and clicks. Either that, or your PC isn't powerful enough to run both simultaneously. I record wet signal directly from PODFarm (same thing as Gearbox, just more current) and I simultaneously record a DI - it works fine.

Enable "sends" 

We'll get to the pops and clicks, but 1st I just wanted to help the guy (or gal?) figure out if anything is being "printed".
