Blending Eleven Amps

You can easily set up tracks and Eleven for multi-amp setups.

To blend multiple amps:

1 Set up tracks and signal routing as explained in the previous workflow (see To blend multiple cabinets:).

2 Remove (or simply bypass) the Eleven plug-in on the source input/track.

To maximize processing resources, remove the Eleven plug-in on the source track, or make the plug-in Inactive. See the Pro Tools Reference Guide for more information.

3 Solo the first Aux Input track.

4 Click to open the Eleven plug-in window on the soloed Aux Input, and do any of the following:

Make sure the amp and cabinet are active (not bypassed).

Choose a preset (Settings file).

Pair any amp with any cabinet.

Choose a mic and its position.

Adjust Speaker Breakup as desired.

5 Solo the next Aux Input track, and repeat to configure its settings for a different tone.

6 Repeat for other Aux Input tracks to configure their settings.

7 When you have set your tones, make sure to un-solo all the Aux Inputs.

8 Continue playing so you can hear the combined tone of all the amps.

9 Do the following to continue:

Balance the tracks using the volume faders on the Aux Input tracks.

– and – 

Try different pan positions for each Aux Input track.

10 Evaluate the phase relationships of the combined signals and adjust accordingly (see Phase Considerations with Blending in Eleven).
