    Here is a trick to get an even bigger sound. Put a reverb on both guitar tracks and then hard pan the reverb to the opposite side. You want the verb for the hard left guitar to be panned hard right, and the verb for the hard right guitar panned hard left. Massive sound.

    • @AgeofJP

      it actually can also somewhat be applied to your solo play...I dunno what software/hardware you use but with Amplitube 5 I often just had two amp simulations running at the same time with slightly different EQ, Amp and Cab settings to get a juicier sound.
      Nowadays I do it in a single line more with EQ fine-tuning and very deliberate mic and speaker options/placement in the cab simulation...the sound I play with now is about as juicy and full as I want it to be, but unusable for recording.
      I can not for the life of me figure out a method to make it this rich sounding without heavy use of a noise gate, without it no matter how I create the sound it always brings along the most painful idle -buzzing- screeching that I can only cancel out but not without a cost...I feel like it might be actually impossible

  • @JakeStrange66
    @JakeStrange66 7 місяців тому +1

    I learned about playing the exact same riff twice & panning one left & one right, like 25 years ago. But play each one from start to finish...no copy/paste looping BS. I only do 2 rhythm guitar tracks myself & it's fine that way. Then again I've been recording since the late 90s...not everyone has.
    Also learned years ago that you don't need a big amp cranked up to get a big loud heavy sound. A lot of musicians back in the day sometimes used practice amps in the studio.

    Yes but if you are going to be using this much distortion I would add a center mix with crunch with the volume rolled back a little this will clean up most of the muddy sounding notes that heavy distortion causes also make sure you record all tracks don’t try to copy-paste it the small deferences in each recording will provide a grander sound scape instead of just a wall of sound so happy recordings everyone 😁
