Later, if you decide you want a different sound,
or simply want to stack different tones on top of
one another, you can re-amp those original, un-
affected guitar tracks through a different set of
Rig characteristics on Eleven Rack, or even an-
other external guitar setup.
To record wet and dry versions of a guitar part
simultaneously for future re-amping:
1 Click on the Track menu in Pro Tools and
select New.
2 In the New Tracks dialog, do the following:
• Create one mono audio track
– and –
• Create one stereo audio track.
3 Assign the input on the mono track you’ve
created to Interface > Guitar In.
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.
7 Tweak the settings of the Rig, if necessary.
8 Press Record, then Play, in the Pro Tools trans-
port.
9 Record your guitar part.
10 Press Stop to stop recording.
If you don’t plan to use the dry signal right
away, you can make the mono track inactive
and hide it.
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.
Recording Wet and Dry
Signals when Using
Eleven Rack as an External
Processor
You can even record separate wet and dry tracks
when using Eleven Rack as an external processor
with an existing Pro Tools system.
The wet and dry tracks will be mono, and must
be routed into your Pro Tools system using one
of the digital outputs on Eleven Rack.
For information on the re-amping process,
see “Re-Amping” on page 86.
For more info on inactive and hidden
tracks, see the Pro Tools Reference Guide.
The Guitar In input signal will look quite
low when compared to other recorded sig-
nals in Pro Tools. This is because the input
signal is optimized for future re-amping
through Eleven Rack. If you need to do intri-
cate rhythmic editing and find the audio
hard to visualize, you may want to increase
the vertical zoom level in the Edit window.
