Chapter 98: Using Eleven 553
9 Click to open the Eleven plug-in window on
the first Aux Input, and do any of the following:
•Choose a cabinet.
•Choose a mic and its position.
• Adjust Speaker Breakup as desired.
10 When you’re done, close the plug-in window
and then unsolo the track.
11 Solo the next Aux Input track, and repeat to
configure its cabinet and mic settings.
12 Repeat for other Aux Input tracks to config-
ure their cabinet and mic settings.
13 When you have set your cabinet tones, make
sure to un-solo all the Aux Inputs and begin
playing so you can hear the combined tone of all
three cabinet channels.
14 Do the following to continue:
• Balance the tracks using the volume faders
on the Aux Input tracks.
• Try different pan positions for each Aux In-
put track.
• Evaluate the phase relationships of the
combined signals and adjust accordingly
(see “Phase Considerations with Blending
in Eleven” on page 555).
If You Plan on Blending Cabinets
The Eleven plug-in emulates the variation in
cabinet response that is unique to each amp/cab
combination. In the physical world, these varia-
tions are the result of the distinct loads put out
by each amp, and the way the cabinet handles
(responds to) that particular type of signal.
Though subtle, the effect of this is a unique cab-
inet resonance.
In each Eleven plug-in you insert on a track, the
currently selected Amp Type has a similar effect
on the sound of its current cabinet, even when
the amp section itself is bypassed.
This does not mean that the (bypassed) amp set-
tings affect the cabinet tone, only the chosen
amp type. This could bring just the right amount
of extra low, low-mid, or mid-range response to
the cabinet.

Different amps can also have a different
number of stages, which can affect polarity.
