An 11R pre-production test recording

Very nice Jim !
How do you like the 11R, compared to the HD 500?

 

Very nice. I think I like your POD tone a bit better, but without a side-by-side comparison, it's hard to tell. Which do like better?

 

Do you ever play anything that doesn't sound amazing?

 

That sounds really great. What amp model are you using?

 

Awesome stuff Jim.

 

Sounds great--clear & full. What would you need Pro Tools to do (for this type of project) that GB can't do? Just curious.

 

I'm listening with in-ear buds, so take this with a big grain of salt: I think I prefer this other clip of yours, which has a softer attack to the notes, bigger bass and an overall warmer tone:

It could be simply a difference in performances, though. They both sound great.

 

Yeah, I don't think you could go wrong with either one. They're both excellent example of "that" sound. Is one more "fun" or inspiring?

 

Do you have the Expansion Pack installed? Try using the Parametric EQ low pass filter. This will really warm up your patches.

the Eleven Rack with the Expansion Pack Parametric EQ is night and day difference than without it.

IMO the Para EQ MUST be used on all amp models, especially on the mid to high gain amps.

Without it the 11R was great but it didn't inspire me. However once I started using the low pass filter on my higher gain patches to clean up the fizz and the high pass filter on my clean patches to tighten up the bass.....WOW!!!

I dont see how you could get a better sound

 

There's a lot to be said for that WRT the creative/performance aspect of things. Good luck!

 

Very nice.

Let us know when the album is available.

 

Whenever I read about people struggling with Pro Tools when using the 11R I always wonder if they know that you can edit in the 11R window without actually having a session open. When Pro Tools opens up and the start up dialog window pops up (the one that asks you what kind of session you would like to open) you can just hit cancel. The 11R window should pop up and you can tweak away without having to deal with creating a track, arming it, making sure it's routed correctly, etc.

 

Jim, your clip sounds really nice. It has a tube quality I can't quite put my finger on and will not even try to describe. It simply sounds like a really nice Fender tube amp. Great dynamics too. Personally, I think this clip has a lot of potential. Warming it up more should be no problem if that is what you need. Thanks for sharing. Really nice.

 

Awesome! I never noticed this. I've been storing dozens of projects with random names just to edit the 11r! Thanks!

My guess is that lots of people don't realize that (included myself for the first few months I had mine). I wonder if all the gripe about not having a stand alone editor can be partially contributed to this.
