Recording Dry: Monitor Through Eleven

This workflow lets you record dry (clean) while the recorded signal is processed through Eleven, letting you hear it but without committing the track to that tone forever.

The flexibility to audition and compare different settings and combinations of amps, cabinets and microphones is a very creative and powerful tool for mixing and arranging.

To record dry and monitor through Eleven:

1 Choose Track > New and configure the New Track to create one mono Audio Track.

2 Set the track input to the audio interface input your guitar is plugged in to (such as In 1 (Mono)).

3 Insert Eleven on the track (see Inserting Eleven on Tracks).

4 Choose a Settings file (preset), or adjust Eleven’s parameters to get your tone (see Eleven Settings (Presets)).

5 Record enable the track, or enable TrackInput monitoring (Pro Tools HD only) and check your levels.

6 When you’re ready, arm the Pro Tools Transport and press Record to record your part.

The audio that is recorded is the dry (unprocessed) signal only, while playback of the recording is processed through Eleven and any other plug-ins inserted on the track.
