Hey guys, I am very new to Pro Tools. I am a student at the Art Institute of Austin and I've gotten the Pro Tools 11 student version and I soon want to start recording my own guitar(s) into Pro Tools for some projects. I am planning on getting the Avid Fast Track Solo interface. My main question is guitar tone, do I have to have an amp simulator to get a distorted sound or any different sound out of my guitar for Pro Tools? Or does Pro Tools come with different options? I am quite confused on this and can't seem to find any answers around. Thank you!

I am going to answer your question about pro tools instead of waste time insulting your life choices.
Pro tools has an amp simulator or two. It is fine, but it really does depend on how high of quality you are looking for. There are many amp simulators out there. Many companies will give you free trials. Currently, most plugin companies are not supported on pro tools 11's AAX 64-bit platform, but it should be well covered in the next 4-6 weeks.
Start with "waves" audio at waves.com. They have many really good plugins and they usually have 15-30 free trials available.
Also, I am not aware of the optional plugins that come with the student edition. I am assuming they are the standard plugins.
Assuming it is the same, there are a few plugins from "AIR" that have distortion and one amp simulator. Again, not impressive, I would go a different route.
Note: if you are going to be using and interface and no preamp, you need an interface with a "true-z direct injection (DI)" in order to eliminate unwanted buzz and noise. Otherwise it almost sounds like a ground loop feed when you distort it.
