Hello.
I'd like to learn the secret of stereo recording.
My own recording is brilliant but not instant stereo.
I record guitar in left channel, then I record guitar in right channel. The result is great, clean, atmospheric with a little delay. So its stereo, but in fact its a combination of two different mono.
If I try to mix channels so that BOTH GUITARS are in BOTH CHANNELS, the sound becomes dull, bad, loses atmosphere.
The same happens if I try to instantly record in stereo. The guitar doesnt sound clean if it's heard from both speakers.
So the strange thing is that if I record two different mono and then listen to them I have a great stereo result, but of course every guitar is separate than the other and only in one channel.
But if I try to record in stereo or mix both channels(full mix) it sounds bad. It sounds bad even if I copy paste channels.
The only time it sounds good is if I have two separate guitars recorded in separate channels.
Could it be that the line in of sound cards or amplifiers is monophonic? Is the reason of bad sound that mono is converted to stereo, when trying to record stereo with monophonic line in? But as I said even after, when I do full mix in stereo, it sounds bad.
So I have made good recordings, but they are double mono creating stereo atmosphere and the solos are only in one channel.
I record with cable running from the line out of my amplifier into the line in of my pc sound card.
So how do they instantly record good full stereo?
Thank you for your help!!
