UPDATE: Load All Rigs from Computer for Rig Downloads

A few months ago, we started including a "Load All Rigs from Computer" option for rigs packs that contained 10 or more rigs. At that time, for consistencies sake we thought it would be best to include a normal XML file that loads 104 rigs. Just like what happens when you Save All Rigs to Computer.
So since no single rig pack contains 104 rigs, we would include enough "unused" rigs to fill out the 104 slots. Also you would have a "Load All Rigs from Computer" folder which contained a copy of all the rigs and the XML file.

After some comments and thought, we have decided to change the way we include the Load All Rigs option.

So, for any rigs posted from now on, unless noted, there will be just one copy of the rigs, there will NOT be a "Load All Rigs from Computer" folder, and there will NOT be any -unused- rigs. The XML file will be included in the same section as the rigs. The XML file will be edited to only load the number of rigs that the pack contains. Meaning that if a rig pack contains 25 rigs, if you Load All Rigs from Computer, then it will only load the 25 rigs starting from A1. Any rigs that are already on the Eleven Rack after the 25 rigs will be untouched.

This only applies to rig packs posted from this date and forward. The rig packs that have already been posted will stay the same.

We hope you like the new method. If not or if so, leave a comment and let us know.

Remember to ALWAYS backup all your rigs before loading any new rigs - whether you are loading one rig at a time or loading all rigs at once. ALWAYS have a full dump of your preferred rig setup saved to your computer/cloud.

Winter NAMM 2013 Starts Soon!

Winter NAMM 2013 starts January 24th and continues through January 27th, 2013.

Avid will be there. Is it possible that something new will be released for the Eleven Rack?

The blog will be updated with any new info that is applicable to the Eleven Rack, so be sure to come back to the blog and see if there is any good news.

104 EMPTY - Eleven Rack Rigs

The "Empty" rigs are 104 rigs set to exactly the same setting. These rigs are not meant to be played through. They are a simply a way to quickly set all the User rig banks to the same exact setting.

Why do you need the "Empty" rigs? Well, you don't need them. There is no reason you cannot load a rig over another rig, or create a rig over another rig.

The reason these rigs are being provided are for people who prefer a standardized starting point for their Eleven Rack, for whatever reason.

One reason may be to load all the EMPTY rigs first, then load a few rigs into the Eleven Rack that will be used in a session or gig. By having the EMPTY rigs in there it can perhaps minimize mistakes of choosing the wrong rig for a song.

Another reason would be when creating new rigs and wanting to start from the same exact point from slot to slot, bank to bank. While its true that you do not need to start from the same point, for some work-flows it may be helpful.

Rig/Preset Downloads Now Include "Load All Rigs" Folder

---EDIT 1/24/13
The Load All Rigs method used has changed for future rig uploads. To learn more, see here:
UPDATE: Load All Rigs from Computer for Rig Downloads ---



Preset/Rig packs that contain at least 10 rigs have been updated to include a folder called
"Load All Rigs from Computer"

This will allow you to download a rig pack and instead of having to load one rig at a time, you can now load all of the rigs at once; which will enable you to test out all the new rigs seamlessly, quickly, and easily. You of course still have the option to load one rig at a time.

In the "Load All Rigs from Computer" folder, you will see the rigs included in the pack with a bunch of other rigs named -unused-. Those files are included so the XML file works correctly, the -unused- rigs are just that, unused.

If you have already downloaded all the rig packs, you will need to re-download the packs to get the new folder. This can be done quickly from the Download Zone which will open up a new tab for each rig pack that you click on - enabling you to go from pack to pack very quickly.

Again, this only applies to packs that contain 10 rigs or more, excluding the 47 Pre-ERXP pack because that pack is actually a combination of several smaller packs.

Any future rig packs that contain at least 10 rigs will be uploaded with the "Load All Rigs" folder from the start.

This addition will drastically reduce the amount of time it takes to test out all the rigs in packs that you download. It can be tedious to load one rig at a time when a pack contains 20, 30, 80 rigs! That is why we added the "Load All Rigs from Computer" option.

We hope everyone enjoys this new addition to the rig/preset packs.

Remember to ALWAYS backup all your rigs before loading any new rigs - whether you are loading one rig at a time or loading all rigs at once. ALWAYS have a full dump of your preferred rig setup saved to your computer/cloud. 

Under Construction

Downloads may not work for the next few hours. But will be back soon.
Thanks for understanding.

UPDATE*

All downloads should be back up now

Thanks for visiting the blog

Well, the release of the Ruin - M2c+ rigs marks the end of the November = Eleven (rack) week (or really a week and a couple days).

New rigs started be released on Nov. 11 (11-11, get it) and ended today.

There were 179 new rigs added over the past week and a couple days, hopefully there will be something in there for every Eleven Rack user.

Though this ends the frantic releasing of new rigs, fear not - there will be more rigs added in the future and a new way to load the rigs to make it easier to test them all out quickly.

Thanks to everyone who watched the videos, liked and commented on the videos, and came to the blog.

There are now OVER 650 rigs/presets on this site! Thanks to everyone who supported the blog and made it possible to reach that number. We hope that this blog has been useful to you and has provided you with Eleven Rack rigs, information, tutorials, and misc that have improved your Eleven Rack experience.

26 Ruin - Mesa Mark IIc+ Edition - Eleven Rack Rigs

26 Ruin - Mesa Mark IIc+ EDITION

Eleven Rack Expansion Pack Required!

The philosophy of the RUIN rigs, is a bit different from other rig packs. Ruin rigs are setup to drop right into a mix with minimal mixing needed after. Of course this is not exact and personal preference plays a roll.

The Ruin Rigs employ 2 Parametric EQ's. EQ 1 (in FX1 slot) does the shaping of the tone, EQ 2 (in FX2 slot) is the module that gets the tone "mix ready". On EQ 2 there will be a Highpass (HP) and Lowpass (LP) set, but only the HP will be ON by default. To turn ON the LP, just click the TYPE button ONCE on the HF (high filter), that will select the LP6 filter, click again to select LP12, again to select LP24, or just use the drop down.
(I am referring to using the on-screen editor to choose the filter type)

These RUIN Mesa Mark IIc+ Rigs are setup to sound realistic. In setting up these rigs, I referred to the analysed frequency response of professionally recorded, mixed, and mastered Mark IIc+ tracks. And the frequency response of the Mark IIc+ in the Eleven Rack is almost exact (once EQ is applied).

The rigs are setup first with the amp/cab/mic only, and they are set to realistic settings. I suggest that you try playing the rigs with all effects OFF at least once. You may want to record with just the amp/cab/mic, then do all the EQing and other mixing later on. Or use the EQ's ON, it's up to you and what your mix needs!
