How to Re-Amp with Pro Tools 11 and the Eleven Rack


Re-Amping allows you to use the same performance, but change the amp, cabinet, microphone, and/or effects of your guitar, bass, or other instrument.

With the Eleven Rack, Re-Amping is super simple; thanks to the ability to record a "dirty/wet" and "dry" guitar track at the same time!

There is a video included below so you can see this in action. In this video we use Pro Tools 11, but the process and underlying principles are the same.

RECORD:

First, record your effected guitar track AND the dry guitar at the same time.

To do this, you can use a Stereo or Mono track for the "dirty" guitar, and a Mono track for the "dry" guitar.

  • Make sure the RIG INPUT for the Eleven Rack is set to GUITAR

  • Set the input of the "dirty/wet" Audio track to Eleven Rig (L)/(R)

  • Set the input of the MONO "dry" Audio track to Guitar

  • Record Enable/Arm both tracks

Eleven Rack Input Always Active/Doubling in Pro Tools



For some strange reason, everyday when I open Pro Tools 11, the Rig Input from the Eleven Rack is active. By that I mean I can strum my guitar and get the amp sound even if I don't have any tracks record enabled!

Furthermore, if I record enable a track I then will get a doubling effect.

I have not had this problem in Pro Tools 9 or 10, only in Pro Tools 11.

However, there is a solution that works for me every time without fail.
