    Hey thanks for the video, are you doing any other EQ'ing or compressing or are you really only working with those tracks specifically? For instance, what does your master bus look like?

  • @johnmotherfuckincoltrane1242
    @johnmotherfuckincoltrane1242 7 років тому +3

    Can't you just duplicate 2 guitar tracks and then have it be guitar left and guitar right?

    • @AR-mq5oz
      @AR-mq5oz 7 років тому +1

      what you can do is move the duplicated track to start a few milliseconds after the other, that way it makes a stereo effect. it's not the same as recording 2 guitar tracks but it's a cool effect you can try with a lot of different instrument that have a mono sound

    • @eltonsoaress
      @eltonsoaress 5 років тому

      You'll get a volume boost if you duplicate. Playing twice is never exactly and then you'll have a boost on the "body" of the riff rather than an increase in volume.

    • @7James77
      @7James77 5 років тому +2

      No, because it will not add depth to the guitar track. Another thing to take into consideration is that the guitar tracks should be recorded with different guitars/pickups/amp so as to not sound too identical.

    • @homevalueglass3809
      @homevalueglass3809 5 років тому

      Just for anybody reading this for the future, duping and panning the same track even delalaying it a little will not fatten up to sound, it'll most likely cancel some the original signal out because of identical wave forms and it'll sound even weaker or you'll get a chorusing effect. No substitute for multiple tracks.

  • @OlaEnglund
    @OlaEnglund  13 років тому

    @kevenbelangerharbour don't know to much about what interfaces are good or not. I recently bought a Tascam US122 mkII and I think that sounded awesome!

  • @OlaEnglund
    @OlaEnglund  14 років тому

    @neo69hk if you copy the tracks and pan them you'll only get an increase in volume as well as phasing problems.

  • @StephenAvery93
    @StephenAvery93 10 років тому +48

    You don't want completely new strings on the guitar either... Break them in first...

    • @StephenAvery93
      @StephenAvery93 10 років тому +5

      AGPMandavel there's various reasons. Depending on your guitar, you can have tuning issues until the tension system hits steady state.
      I also don't like the tone as much. This is subjective and is also probably due to the fact I dial in my tone for the majority of the play time and not just the first hour or so of play time before the strings are broken in.
      You should really change strings before a recording project though.

    • @mosesgutierrez6897
      @mosesgutierrez6897 10 років тому +15

      Stephen Avery New strings can be broken in almost immediately by stretching them thoroughly during the string changing process. Even with locking trems, before locking of course. Tune up, stretch or bend your strings like you would while playing, tune stretch tune stretch, and tune. It's also important to add some pull or tension while you are.

    • @mosesgutierrez6897
      @mosesgutierrez6897 10 років тому

      Moses Gutierrez well you are first stringing or turning the tuning pegs with the slack on the strings. You want them to wrapped tight around the peg

    • @StephenAvery93
      @StephenAvery93 10 років тому

      Not necessarily... Especially if you have a floating floyd rose tremolo bridge. The coating needs to be broken in a little bit to get the usual tone as well, unless you have your tone setup for rand new strings so you have to change your strings every hour of play to get the same tone.

    • @TheGeryal
      @TheGeryal 10 років тому

      Stephen Avery But you are not supposed to record instantly after you put them, it's a little time after (a week, a few days) having 5 months old strings makes the guitar sound like shit

    @Sean1547 Logic 9 but that's because that's what I've been using for the last 10 years. If I started of with protools I would probably still be using that.

    @noWandthENnnn that's a dynamic shure sm57. I'm using Logic 9 for recording.

    @OlaEnglund  13 років тому

    @ac23AQ when bands record 4 tracks(quadtracking) you usually pan 2 of them 100% left and right. The other two are brought more into the center so say 60-80% panned left and right.

  • @OlaEnglund
    @OlaEnglund  13 років тому

    @ModernProductionss if you get a lot of noise while playing you're either using WAY to much gain, or have a shielding problem either with your cables or the electronics in your guitar. And the amp is not supposed to buzz, better check it!

    Dude, Ola, love your stuff, I have your albums and your, Jeff's and Keith's signature packs on jamup. I am finding it hard to get the sound I want exactly with my recordings because I am poor as hell and have no compressor or filter. What were the programs you were using for compression and filtering and can you recommend any good, affordable ones?

    Awesome stuff mate! I just very recently started learning on how to produce my own tracks so this really came in hand! Just a quick question mate, everybody talks about mixing one of the guitars (i.e. rhythm guitar) which as you pointed out should be panned hard left and hard right, but what happens when we have a second guitarist (not lead) to add to the mix? Should we also record the second guitarist twice (even for the parts where he is doing the same as guitar one) ultimately ending with 4 guitar tracks (Guitar 1 L+R and Guitar 2 L+R) ? Very newbie question I know, but I am just learning! :D
