ELEVEN RACK - BYPASS THE CAB/MIC - EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW



There are several ways, and reasons, to bypass the cab block on the Eleven Rack. Maybe you want to use the Eleven Rack with a real amp and cab, or maybe you want to use Impulse Responses in your DAW for the cab.

With the Eleven Rack, you have a few options depending on the outputs you want to use. You can bypass the cab manually, you can set the cab to always be OFF, or you could use an Output to Amp port and set the source to AMP OUTPUT (which is split off before the cab).

ELEVEN RACK - AUTOMATION EXPLAINED PART 2 ADDENDUM - ESSENTIAL CONCEPTS


In this video I cover some essential concepts to understand when using Automation with the Eleven Rack in Pro Tools. This is an addendum to the first Eleven Rack Automation video, so please watch that first.

Be sure to also watch the Program Change video to see how to have Pro Tools switch your Eleven Rack Rig/Preset automatically

In this video I will go over more concepts of using a foot controller to record automation, how to move and delete automation, how to record automation in multiple passes, cover more automation tips, and finally take a quick look at using the Multiple FX option and using automation with that.

ELEVEN RACK - AUTOMATION EXPLAINED PART 1 (Automate Effects, Amps, Ect...)



In this video I'll show you everything you need to know about using automation with the Eleven Rack. I'll cover how to automating effects, amps, and everything else by using MIDI tracks in Pro Tools. We'll look at how to find the CC# for any parameter in the Eleven Rack PDF, and on the Eleven Rack itself. You'll see how to setup your MIDI tracks, add CC#s, and how to draw your automation with the Pencil Tool. You will also see how you can record your automation into Pro Tools using a MIDI Foot Controller. I'll also cover a few other things about automation and the Eleven Rack in general. So strap in, grab a drink, grab a guitar, and let's dig in deep!

I'll be using Pro Tools, but the concept is the same for any DAW. With automation, you can have your DAW control things like the Wah position, Distortion On/Off, Delay mix, ect… You can even automate Amp parameter changes, Rig input, and so much more! I can't cover everything, but the concept will be the same. Simply find the parameter you want to automate, find and add the CC#, and draw in the automation.

Eleven Rack #2 Communication Error - Why it Happens and How to Fix it


If you are getting the "Eleven Rack #2" error with Pro Tools 11 or Pro Tools 12+ on Windows, this video will show you why it happens and how to fix it.

If you have the "Eleven Rack #2" error, you will probably also have problems with Embedded Rig settings. So I suggest you go through all the steps and re-install the driver with the correct steps, don't just rely on unchecking the device in the MIDI menu.

Eleven Rack Automated Rig Change w/MIDI in Pro Tools


Imagine you have a song that has a ton of rig/patch changes, like from clean and airy, to djent distorted, to something in-between, and maybe even something just used for effect (think Korn, Deftones, ect...)

You could of course use a pedal board, and if you have been reading my blog for awhile you know that I like the Behringer FCB1010 with a EurekaProm installed.

Another option is to let Pro Tools send those program control messages for us, and it's pretty easy to setup. In the following video, I will show you exactly how to setup Pro Tools to send these program control messages to the Eleven Rack.
