4 Assign the input on the stereo track you’ve
created to Interface > Eleven Rig L/R.
5 Record-enable the two tracks.
6 Select a Rig in the Eleven Rack Control win-
dow, and tweak its settings, if necessary.
7 Press Record, then Play, in the Pro Tools trans-
port.
8 Record your guitar part.
If you don’t plan to use the dry signal right
away, you can make the mono track inactive
and hide it, using the functions of the Tracks
pane in the Edit window.
The dry track will be hidden and will not play,
but Pro Tools will retain the data for later use.
You can access the track again at any time.
Embedding Rig Settings in
Audio Regions
Despite the fact that we designed Eleven Rack to
store Rig settings to your computer and to its in-
ternal memory, we felt there had to be a better
way to keep track of which Rig settings you use
as you track your guitar.
Pro Tools lets you embed the current Rig’s set-
tings into audio regions as you record them, so
that you can retrieve that same setting for fur-
ther use later.
This can also be helpful when collaborating or
bringing sessions or regions to a different system
using Eleven Rack, because your settings travel
with the files.
To embed Rig settings in recorded audio:
1 Open the Eleven Rack Control window.
2 Click the User Options button. The Embed Set-
ting From menu appears.
3 Set the Embed Setting From menu to the input
you plan to record through, such as
Eleven Rig L/R.
4 Create an audio track, and set its input to the
input you’ve chosen, using the Input selector.
5 Record enable the track.
6 Record your part.
The settings of the currently loaded Rig will be
embedded in each audio region that is recorded
from the input you select in the Embed Setting
From menu.
Audio regions with embedded Rig data are
marked with a small Eleven Rack logo icon in
both the Edit Window and the Region Browser
in Pro Tools.
The Guitar In input signal will look quite
low when compared to other recorded sig-
nals in Pro Tools. If you need to do intricate
rhythmic editing, you may want to increase
the vertical zoom level in the Edit window.
This same method applies when using
Eleven Rack with Pro Tools|HD or M-Pow-
ered system.
