Avid Pro Tools + Eleven Rack - Recording and Guitar Amplifier Emulation System
Pro Tools + Eleven Rack from Avid is a versatile recording solution and amplifier emulation system designed for guitar players. It features a DSP accelerated hardware interface coupled with the industry standard Pro Tools software, providing everything needed to compose, record, sequence, edit, and mix music.
The system delivers great tone and versatility while functioning as a tightly integrated, fully featured hardware/software audio solution without distracting latency while recording, and with access to dozens of the most coveted rigs and stompbox effects. Over 70 included virtual instruments, studio effects, and sound processing plug-ins are available for creating and polishing mixes.
Re-amplify tone is simple and achieved without having to re-patch a single cable. Taking sessions to another Pro Tools studio equipped with an Eleven Rack yields full recall of all settings instantly. For live playing, the rack functions standalone as an amplifier tone and effects processor (like an amp head) that can be connected to a speaker cabinet or direct to the PA system.
Get the feel and response of playing through a variety of vintage amplifiers, complete with such characteristics as amp sag and speaker cone breakup. Plus, when plugging in a MIDI controller or expression pedal, full foot control is available over everything from vintage wah-wah effects, to tempo-driven delays, and more.

Comments about Avid Pro Tools + Eleven Rack - Recording and Guitar Amplifier Emulation System:
This is a great for those guitarist/songwriter types looking for flexibility and a recording interface that can cover pretty much all the essential bases of a home setup.I owned an Mbox w/ Pro Tools and recorded primarily with mics and amps, but when I moved to college I transitioned over towards plugins like Amplitube and Guitar Rig. They sound good in their own right, but they became too taxing on my computer when sessions started getting big. For a while I just dealt with it, but it began to affect my creativity and desire to play, thinking "ahh its just not worth it". So to get out my rut, I decided find a solution that would offload my guitar processing, but still work well within the college environment. That's when I decided on the Eleven Rack and haven't looked back since. For those guitarists looking to start out in recording and music production, you'll definitely be able to lay down quality-sounding songs with this. The rack is great because it comes with Pro Tools and you can get some solid tones. If you also decide to pick up a mic and keyboard with this, you'll pretty much have the essentials of a fully functional home studio.As for those more experienced users, I still think this is a cool piece of gear because of how easy it is to track quick demos and ideas without firing up all the other equipment. In my personal setup, one thing I really like is how the rack gives me flexibility-- I record more electronic-based songs now and primarily use Ableton Live, but I love having the option of going into Pro Tools when I'm using real instruments or need to do more precise audio recording that would normally be difficult to do in Live.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Avid Pro Tools + Eleven Rack - Recording and Guitar Amplifier Emulation System:
This product is somewhat of a mixed bag. I bought it for recording based on the amp emulations. I have had some earlier Line 6 offerings and was looking for something different.
The points to consider for you depend on how you want to use it.
It has a microphone input etc, but it can only apply dsp effects to one input at a time....so in a live situation you can have the amp and effects on for your guitar, but your microphone line will be a dry signal (no reverbs, mic emulations, etc). For me its not that big of a deal with recording but something to consider if you want to take it outside the studio.
Its comes with ProTools and is tightly integrated with that platform. There is no stand alone editor at this time. Within Protools, you can change settings on the fly, but if you use another DAW, you will have to rely on the front panel for making changes to effects, amps, etc. There may be some user created hacks for Cubase since alot of the changes seem to be midi messages. You can find more information on this on the avid/digidesign user forum. It has Windows ASIO drivers so you can get sound into other programs, but the device is really designed around its intergration with Protools.
Overall, I am happy with the sounds. If you don't have an existing studio and preference for DAW software...its a good package to get you up and running. Be mindful of Protools and software upgrade costs when committing to the platform as a whole. It has various audio outs so if you have an existing audio interface..you can route sound through that if you happen to use Linux w/ Ardour, or if/when the device lasts longer than vendor supplied driver updates and the company moves on to other products. I mention this as I had a first generation digidesign mbox that still functions but is now unsupported by them with regards to newer software drivers and doesn't work with later version of protools.
I am putting "limited functions" as a con for the product, not because you can't work around some of the issues, but because you have to jump through hoops that you shouldn't really have to. The single dsp is its biggest road block especially for a product that is marketed to be as useful live as for recording. So long as you stay within their idea of how this product is to be used; its seemless. If you step outside of that...you will need to be a little creative.
