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 83).
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
Create a send from the track to Interface >
ReAmp L/R.
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.
4
Set up and connect your chosen external amp
and microphone and/or processor to the Output
To Amp 1 (L) output and the appropriate input
on Eleven Rack.
• If using the mic input, ensure that the gain
and other settings (such as phantom power
and pad) are set correctly.
• If using an amplifier and microphone in
the same room as your Pro Tools system, be
sure to turn off or mute your monitor
speakers, to avoid feedback.
5
Record-enable the new mono track.
