Switching interfaces from Line 6

[alex1fly]

I'm considering making an upgrade from my silver edition Toneport to something more... quality, like m-audio. This seems like a silly question, but will Gearbox (the software that came with the Toneport) still work with a different interface, or does Line 6 make their software specific only to Line 6 devices?

They made a VST plugin but I'm pretty sure Gearbox will only work with their hardware.

Well that seems understandable... and cheap

POD Farm works with an Ilok device too though.

Sure, if you pay for it.

From Line6's website:

"This version of POD Farm contains a Line 6 license that is not compatible with an iLok device. Your Line 6 hardware must be connected to your computer via USB in order to authorize and use the POD Farm software. More information on iLok-compatible POD Farm can be found here."

I'd just keep the Tone Port, but then get another interface. I'd recommend getting something from M-Audio, as you can get Pro Tools M-Powered if you're so inclined. (Stay away from Pro Tools LE, Digidesign's low-end hardware doesn't have enough driver support to keep up with Windows and other DAW software.)

Does the Toneport have S/PDIF?
