Re-Amplification
Re-amplification is the process of sending pre-recorded audio to an external amplifier and then re-recording the processed audio to a
new track. Often used on guitar tracks that were recorded direct, with no effects or amps, re-amplification can provide the same tonal
options, ambiance, and flexibility to vocals, drums, sound effects, and virtual instrument tracks.
Tracks can be sent from Pro Tools through the
Hi-Z Out to Amp output on MBOX Studio into one or more external amps or processors
and re-recorded through an MBOX Studio input.
A ground lift is provided on
Hi-Z Out to Amp, providing the correct type of buzz kill when necessary.
The
Hi-Z Out to Amp output and FX Send 2 always carry the same output mix.
To send a signal out the Hi-Z Output to Amp for re-amplification with an external amp:
1 Connect a TS (Tip/Sleeve) cable from the Hi-Z Out to Amp on MBOX Studio front panel to the input of your amp or other device.
2 Position and connect a microphone to an available MBOX Studio Mic/Line input, such as Mic/Line/Inst 1 on the front panel. (If you
need to change input focus, type, or other parameters, see Audio Input and Output.)
3 In Pro Tools, choose the track to be re-amplified and assign its output to MBOX Studio Internal 8.
4 Create a new audio track and assign its input to the MBOX Studio input you connected the microphone to in step 2, above (such as
Mic/Inst/Line 1).
MBOX Studio also provides FX Loops 1–2 for integrating pedals, stomp boxes, and other effects devices. See Using FX Loops.
