Stage 2, Part 1: Playback Through Your Guitar Rig

The dry guitar recording is played out to your effects and/or amplifier.
To do this on Ensemble:
1� Route the DAW's guitar track to Ensemble's guitar output (G1 = Out 11, G2 = Out 12)�
2� Connect a guitar cable from Ensemble's guitar out to an amplifier's input. You can include effects pedals/
processors between Ensemble and the amplifier if desired.
3� Set the guitar output to "From Software"� This can be done with the front panel Assignable C button, or in
Apogee Control's Out tab of the Primary Window
4� Play the DAW track to hear the performance played through the effects and amplifier. Adjust and tweak the
settings of your effects and/or amplifier until the desired sound is achieved.

Stage 2, Part 2: Record the amp onto a separate DAW track

The sound of the amplifier is recorded, usually with a microphone, onto another track in the DAW.
1� Place a microphone in front of the amp and connect the mic to an input on Ensemble's rear panel�
2� Make the appropriate settings to get the mic input working using Ensemble's Front Panel controls
or Apogee Control's Input settings in the Mix tab of the Primary window
3� In your DAW, setup a new audio track, and set the input source to record the microphone�
This process can be repeated several times. Experiment by swapping out amplifiers, changing the order and
settings of effects pedals and processors, or moving the microphone in front of the amp to get different sounds.
