There will be loads of users with that setup that can help you get set up quickly - should just be a matter of a few clicks. Best of luck getting things sortewd anyway.

Heya Super,
It's Wed. morn here, and I stayed up all night Sun until 4 a.m. Monday troubleshooting. I spent my whole day at work on Monday going through Line 6's forums, half asleep, lol. There's lots of issues with the Toneport. When it works, it works great- soundwise anyway. My problem right now is getting the backing track to play and me play at the same time. I messed with the buffering size first. I've come to the conclusion that I may have too many in/out audio devices getting in the way on my pc- souncard, tv tuner card, onboard soundcard, and various players. I disabled a number of hardware, but I think it's SoundBlaster audio card that's the problem- if you don't set it just right, you get nothing- there's settings for gaming, movie watching, music and on and on. But the Toneport have problems also- I've had to install and reinstall it about 15 times at least, and I can't upgrade to the latest drivers either, another known issue. Then I get error messages and blue screens of death. I feel like I'm gonna lose my mind. When I do get sound out of the Toneport, I can't record; when I can record, I can't hear exactly what I'm playing. It's a vicious cycle. Anyway, I'm going to buy the proper 1/8" lines and try on my laptop.Anyway, I wanted to upload something to get over my fear of playing. What I uploaded wasn't meant to be a final submission, I just wanted to get myself out there, like when someone has a fear of public speaking, you just get out there and do it.

I saw in your other post your setup- nice. Anyway, time to go to work. Thanks for the feedback. The only program that I can get the BT to play back on and record so far is my soundcard's recorder. That's why I used Audacity to capture what I played. My first take was 40 seconds, before Gearbox (Toneports player) froze, then my 2nd which lasted about 1 min . It was 3:45 a.m. by then, so I said, F-it, I'll upload it. I think this will help me to play more, as opposed to just noodling around. If everyone think's I suck, no problem; I think I suck, lol. I can talk technique and everything else, but I came to the conclusion a long time ago I did, lol. As long as I'm having fun, right? Gotta run, later, and thanks again.
