Hi guys I'm new on this community and very glad for being in. I have a question, it's my first mix on backing track. I have to record a solo track of guitar for my friend and mix it with backing. I have to take 2 guitar tracks one in left on in righ? Or just one and fix it in the center of stereo image? Do you prefer edit track with monitor or with closed headphones?
Thanks for helping
 
Are you using multiple mics to record? If not, just record in mono and pan it where you want in the mix.
 
Thanks! I thought that! And one more, do you prefer edit the tracks in monitor or headphones?
I prefer monitors, but I've spent (and continue to spend) a lot of time treating the room so (I believe) mixes translate better. If you use headphones, you probably have to go validate your results on more systems. (But that's my experience - there's a lot of subjectivity and opinions on this topic.)
