Re-Amping
Re-Amping is the process of sending pre-re-
corded audio (in this case, from within
Pro Tools,) to an external guitar amplifier or ef-
fects unit, and then re-recording the processed
audio to a new track.
This is sometimes done when a guitar track is re-
corded dry and the amp and effects sound is to
be decided upon later (see “Recording Guitars”
on page 85).
In the case of Eleven Rack, re-amping can be
done one of two ways.
• Tracks can be sent from Pro Tools into the on-
board guitar processor in Eleven Rack, and re-
recorded to a new track.
– or –
• Tracks can be sent from Pro Tools, out
through the Output To Amp outputs on
Eleven Rack, into one or more external guitar
amps or processors, and then re-recorded
through the microphone, line, or guitar in-
puts on Eleven Rack, depending on the type
of external devices being used.
To re-amp a signal using the guitar processor in
Eleven Rack:
1 Choose the track in Pro Tools to be re-amped
(mono tracks only).
2 Assign the output of the track to one of the
following:
• Interface > ReAmp L/R (if signal is stereo)
• Interface > ReAmp L or ReAmp R (if signal is
mono)
3 Create a new stereo audio track, and assign its
input to Interface > Eleven Rig L/R.
4 In Pro Tools Edit window, click with the Selec-
tor tool at the beginning of the first audio region
on the track to be re-amped.
5 Select a Rig in the Eleven Rack Control win-
dow, and adjust the settings as desired.
6 Start recording in Pro Tools.
7 The audio from the chosen track will be pro-
cessed through Eleven Rack, and re-recorded to
the new stereo Audio track.
To re-amp a signal using the Output To Amp
outputs on Eleven Rack:
1 Choose the track in Pro Tools to be re-amped.
2 In the Eleven Rack Control window, choose
what point in the signal chain will be fed to one
or both of the To Amp outputs using the To Amp
Output selectors.
3 Create a new audio track, and assign its input
to match the device you are using to re-amp, as
follows:
• If re-amping through a guitar amp and mi-
crophone, or a device with an XLR DI out-
put, select Interface > Mic In.
• If re-amping through a guitar-level stomp-
box or processor, select Interface > Guitar In.
• If re-amping through a processor with a
line-level output, select Interface > Line In-
put L.
By default, the re-amped signal is muted
when you press Play on the transport, but
are not recording. If you want to hear the re-
amped signal while in playback, turn on In-
put Only Monitoring mode by clicking
Track > Input Only Monitoring. For more
information on Input Only Monitoring
mode, see the Pro Tools Reference Guide.
See “Output to Amp Selectors” on page 82
for details.
