Introduction to Multitrack Computer Interface Recording

[arcadeko]

I thought your point about recording a basic guitar track twice then panning one to the left and the other to the right was really interesting. Is it better to record it twice, or just save the first track and then import it??? Just thinking about how obvious the differences will be in two seperate recordings.

You can do either - but if you can play it close to the same you can get a very nice thick sound with real double tracking as opposed to just copying tracks and adjusting their sound.

This should really be a sticky. It's a well presented, well thought out and very helpful start point that answers, at least in part, probably 80% of the questions that turn up in the newbies forum.

Great article, very well explained, simple and to the point. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Personally I love the Line 6 POD UX1 [URL="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EKECAY/ref=s9_simh_gw_p267_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=0N7JYCVDF93QTXT17VV4&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938811&pf_rd_i=507846"] as it comes with great effects for your guitar. So I have it at my office as from time to time, I just get my guitar, connected to my POD and then to the MAC and rehearse some cool riffs...

PD I work for myself so that has some small advantages.
