Eleven Rack is a system for recording and processing sound for the guitar, suitable for both studio and on stage. Eleven Rack boasts a true entry-Z, to recreate the impedance of the modeled amp selected. . Pro Tools software supplied with the rack is combined with a high resolution interface hardware accelerated DSP Rack Eleven allowing all guitarists to make professional recordings. Whether you are a musician or stage Eleven Rack offers the sounds of guitar amps and effects hyper realistic.
I use 2-Eleven rack config, the first with a HP laptop (Dual core running at 2.5 GHz and 4GB of ram under Vista) and on a 4 core CPU clocked at 3 GHz and 4 GB of ram on XP Pro .. Suffice to say that everything works very well on both config ..
I use it mostly for the guitar taken in the studio but it is not left for the stage connected to a MIDI pedal ..
I said that I still prefer some other guitars with the rack Eleven ..
I use a lot for lead Warmoth kit fitted with microphones and a Joe Barden Start Vintage Hot Rod for clean sounds ..
UTILIZATION
The use I have no problem if it is being used at Sonar (DAW) I am obliged to nitpick a little Pro Tools because the interface is really different .. I put a little damper on the board plugs in in Pro Tools for my taste they are somewhat less sensitive to those that I use as normal ..
on the other hand no problem with compatibility of some plugs like EZ Drummer or other virtual amps ..
I have not yet made registration on many tracks simultaneously, but my PC holds, and it accepts as normal the 16 recording tracks plus 16 reading without my cpu does not climb .. I think with the pro tools must be able to keep up ..
On the guitar sounds do not worry because it is the latency Eleven rack that manages DSP ..
SOUND QUALITY
No problem when the install vista with XP a little more, but I did a bad manipulation which I think was the cause of the problem but all ends well anyway ..
On the rack of Eleven Plug In no particular it presents itself as the most current plug guitar ..
It's best to work a sound from the plug rather than the rack ..
OVERALL OPINION
Eleven rack I use for over two months now and all say that every day new sensations appear ..
I confess that the first days I was somewhat disappointed compared to what I have read or heard in demo but my disappointment was only temporary ..
Do not trust the factory sounds for as many machines it does not ..
But so far, and after a few hours I can say that over the Eleven rack is a war machine, in short ... it kills ......
I have a plethora of guitar amp simulation and rare are those who issue such a sensation of pleasure at the time of the game, have pretty much sound when recording because the sound is stunning, but lacks a bit of heat in the hit while with the Eleven plus the rack I feel that its grain ..
Many people have decried the forums Eleven rack in comparison to ultra fx it is true that on paper seems well below but is it really comparable? I do not think ..
There are certainly less simulation, less effective, less this, less of that but with the two rack I can tell you that for me there's no pictures ..
Eleven With the rack I found modeling may be less but these few give me much satisfaction in sound and in terms of gaming experience, I close my eyes and my studio is inhabited by all these legendary amps ... waouwwwww j'adooooore ...
Yes this machine is incredible, but like many other effects or amps, you must already know what you buy and why we buy, they are its characteristics and use the height of its strength ..
A tone shaping, and is working for a result pro should not forget the rest of the string, guitar, cables, etc. .. tapping etc. ...
Put a Ferrari engine in a 4l, you will never have the desired result and although it's the same in music, and among others with the rack Eleven .. Depending on the config it will be used more or less convincing ..
At my level of 800 euros and some are fully justified and I do it again this election much to the chagrin of my wife ....
