Line 6 GearBox 3.1 – Basic Features Guide

GEARBOX (PLUG-IN) BASICS

Welcome to the wonderful world of GearBox Plug-in, where legendary studio-standard tone and classic vintage effects are all available to you within your favorite recording application, in a flexible native software plug-in format!

A Quickie Plug-in Primer

There are many types of plug-ins in the world of software. Plug-ins are relatively small applications that can only run when loaded inside a compatible host application. Plug-ins operate within the host application to extend the capabilities of the host. In the world of music software, audio plug-ins find frequent use inside audio/MIDI host applications, commonly referred to as DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations). Audio plug-ins provide signal processing for your audio tracks or live audio input.

A helpful analogy for plug-ins is to think of them as effects pedals. Effects pedals change the tone of your bass or guitar before the signal reaches your amplifier. As with pedals, rack effects units, or any other conventional piece of outboard gear, plug-ins provide graphical controls for whatever parameters they might expose. For example, a distortion plug-in will most likely have similar controls to a typical distortion pedal (such as drive, gain and tone). Visually, plug-ins often resemble the physical gear they emulate.

When working with DAWs, using plug-ins provides numerous benefits over using outboard effects like pedals or rack processors. Here are a few of the primary benefits:

•Plug-ins are “non-destructive” to your audio track – this means that you can add or remove effects and tweak their settings as often as you like without actually affecting the original audio recording. Recording with outboard gear means that the signal going to tape will be “wet” (with effects and amp tone) and cannot be changed without recording another pass.

•Plug-ins sound the same way twice. Because you can store plug-in settings as presets, precise settings can be loaded reliably with tweaking. Every time you go back to work on a specific song, you can rest assured that your tones will be identical to the last session.

•Plug-ins are automatable. Host applications provide easy ways to create and manipulate automation, giving you surgical precision of your tone without having to “ride the faders” of external gear during a record pass.

•Plug-ins don’t break, corrode, take up space on your floor or get stolen

MIDI Remote Control and Plug-in automation

Most audio plug-ins are automatable, meaning their parameters can be manipulated in real-time by some method. The two most prevalent methods are MIDI automation and plug-in automation. Both methods provide unique benefits.
