I had pretty elaborate question and much of the answer is based on personal preference and taste but i thought it would be a good reference for all of the newbies on here to get some ideas or pointers. on a basic 4-piece band rock song ( rhythm guitar lead guitar drums, bass and vocals.) how would you mix the tracks and how many of each would you record. lets assume, just for simplicity, that each track was played continuously through the song and there were no dubbed in fills.
EXAMPLE:
Rhythm guitar doubled. 1 track panned hard left one track panned hard right and slightly offset.
Lead guitar- one track panned 15 degrees right
bass - right up the middle one track
drums (one track of each) hi hat panned 45degrees left
snare panned 45 degrees left
kick straight up the middle
tom panned 90 degrees right
other cymbals panned from 90 degrees left to 90 degrees right.
I know that this is a very quick and CRAP example. but i just wanted to illustrate what i was asking for. feel free to elaborate on different techniques for extra fatness to a track or for spatial effects etc. Thanks.
