Chapter 8: Eleven Rack Studio Setup 71
Using Eleven Rack with a Pro Tools|HD or M-Powered System
Apart from its roles as a Pro Tools LE interface
and standalone guitar processor, Eleven Rack
can also be used alongside a Pro Tools|HD or
Pro Tools M-Powered system, acting as a re-
mote-controlled processing system and guitar
preamp.
You’ll need a digital or analog audio connection
to and from the Pro Tools|HD or M-Powered sys-
tem to run audio through Eleven Rack. If you
want to use the Eleven Rack Control window in
Pro Tools to control Eleven Rack and manage
Rigs, Eleven Rack must be connected to the
computer using USB.
You’ll also need to install the included Pro Tools
HD or M-Powered software update, unless
you’re already using version 8.0.1 or higher.

The included update requires Pro Tools 8.0
software to update from. If your HD or
M-Powered system has not already been
updated to at least Pro Tools version 8.0,
you’ll need to purchase and install that
upgrade before you can control Eleven Rack
and manage Rigs from within Pro Tools.
