reamping with amplitube metal - totally noob question

[mr shikadance]

hey guys.
long time reader, first time poster.
have recently purchased a 003 rack + bundled with protools 8 LE.
been having lots of fun with amplitube metal.
i finally made a good 5150ish metal sound and decided to record it to a mono track. so that was all good.
so i then decided to make a new track, paste it from the first track to the 2nd track, insert the amplitube plugin and mess around with other amp and cab settings.
but it didnt work ( no signal coming through the 2nd track, 1st track muted but signal was coming through)
now i was wondering if any could help me with how to do it. im a total noob, so things like routing to aux send/bus/ blah bah are a bit ove my head so if anyone could explain that would be really helpful!
thanks heaps guys,

do you have the output set right? is the track armed, if you are recording?

sorry i dont really understand your question. Are you wanting to record or playback? if recording try Alt+K

sorry, yeah the 1st track records fine with amplitube as a insert plugin.
but when i create another track and copy and paste the already recorded guitar from track 1, i get nothing from the new track. no signal or anything even with the amplitube plugin inserted.
is there a special way to copy tracks?

ideally, i would like to do one clean, dry signal track and then make about 5 copies on 5 tracks and then use the amplitube plugin one each of them and blend amps/setting/fx etc. so eg. one track would be a mesa, another a marshall etc.

thanks

I do something similar to what you're doing but rather than copy and paste, I do this:

Click on the name of the track you recorded, this will highlight the track, then right-click and you will see "duplicate" (you can also do this from the upper left menus). Click on that and it will bring up a window with check marks on what you want to duplicate, leave them all checked. Also, there's a box to put in how many times you want to duplicate. Then hit okay. If you chose 5, you'll have 5 tracks with your recorded audio and Amplitube inserted. You can now click each instance of Amplitube and just switch out mics, amps, settings, etc.

Keep in mind this will be a big drain on your CPU. You may have to increase your buffer just to listen back, and print a couple at a time as audio.
