Chapter 98: Using Eleven 557
 For maximum flexibility, control and variety,
use a dry track bussed to multiple Aux Inputs,
each with a different Eleven tone (see “Blending
Eleven Amps” on page 554 for instructions).
Configure one for tone A, configure the next
Eleven (on the next Aux Input) for tone B (which
could be a completely different amp and sound)
and so on. Then use Pro Tools track Volume
(fader) automation to fade the different Eleven
tracks in and out at the right times. This gives
the greatest amount of control over the transi-
tion between amps and tones, while also letting
you stack and layer amps.
Managing Eleven Plug-In
Resources
If system resources need to be conserved or min-
imized, you can “bus record” with effects to
commit Eleven tones to disk. See “Recording
Wet: Record Eleven-Processed Track to Disk” on
page 549.
Or, use the AudioSuite version to print Eleven
tracks to disk. AudioSuite is especially useful
when you’re processing loops or other shorter-
form guitar material.
Working Faster with Templates
and Import Session Data in
Eleven
Using templates and importing tracks are great
ways to make sure your creative moments aren’t
interrupted by session chores.
Pro Tools 8.0 provides the Quick Setup dialog
for working with templates. You can use this
feature to store and recall different setups of
tracks, bussing, and effects for Eleven.
In all versions of Pro Tools, the
Import Session
Data
feature lets you import tracks and their at-
tributes from one session into another, includ-
ing their I/O and signal routing assignments,
plug-ins, and settings.
Beyond Eleven: Some
Suggested Effects
If you’re new to guitar or new to Pro Tools, you
might want to know about a few simple effects
you can add to your Eleven guitar tracks using
nothing more than a few of the plug-ins in-
cluded with Pro Tools.
Bussing and Submixing
Not so much a plug-in or effect as a standard op-
erating procedure, multiple guitar tracks are of-
ten submixed to stereo Aux Input for centralized
level control of those tracks. This is especially
useful for applying compression or limiting,
creating stem mixes, and many other practical
uses. See your Pro Tools Reference Guide for
mixing and submixing setups and suggestions,
and try them out while exploring some of the
following effects suggestions.
See the Pro Tools Reference Guide for more
information about templates, Quick Setup,
and Import Session Data.
