Recently started recording my band with a Line 6 UX2, some mics, and Pod Farm. Used a buddies computer who is in the military with Cubase 5, Drumagog, and EZDrummer with DFH. So our drummer programmed the drums as I figured out how to replace the Kick, snare, and Toms with Drumagog. Once the Drums were done I was pretty confident they sounded good. Time for Guitar! How hard could they be? Plug into Line 6 and mess with Pod Farm. Got the tone we THOUGHT was a good tone. Recorded and added bass. Listened to the song and Jesus Christ! There is so much low end I couldn't even EQ it out. The was guitar take one. Went back searched the Production Tips forum for some help. Found a much better tone, dialed it in, hit record. After tracking the bass it all sounded really good. But then I just remembered.. "Did I set the UX2 to 16 bit or 24?" turns out it was set to 16 
uke: That was take 2 of guitars. So changed the UX2 to 24 bit and lowered the buffer rate "advice from the line 6 forums" and recorded once more. Since I lowered the buffer rate I was getting really bad pops on the guitar track, but i thought it was just the playback due to the lower buffer rate and wasn't effecting the recording. After 3 hours of recording my ears were shot, so I went to bed and woke up the next morning, boosted the buffer rate back up, and took a listen to the "Amazing" recording from the night before. There isn't 2 seconds of the song that doesn't have a loud pop in it.. 3 takes of quad tracked guitar... as you would imagine my Guitarist is pissed as am I. But after all of this I am still fascinated and in love with this whole experience and I really hope things will improve as time goes. Just wanted to share my story and wanted to see if anyone else wanted to share their newb stories! Also wanted to thanks to everyone here who has helped me and made this process a whole lot easier.
