Xpand2! As Our Guitar Plugin

Our teaching is focused around Avid Pro Tools software. To keep our save from spending money we chose to use Xpand2! a free plugin in Pro Tools. We don’t want to give the impression that Xpand2! is not a good software plugin, this is by no means true. The guitar sound we use is very versatile for projects and I will show how I use it.

If you do not have Pro Tools, Xpand2! is available from:
