"sound wise" the guitars are "fuzz"y, varying from barely to highly overdriven. not a lot of clean guitars.
no acoustics yet, just dealing with electrics.
Mixing is in stereo. Using ableton live.
Lots of plugins in the library.
All guitar takes were recorded in stereo, discretely, with the lead mic being a "normal" placement, and the second being very devoid of highs. (it's a shure sm57 close to the grill, outside edge of a loud speaker)
The 2 mics don't cause phase "problems" when panned together
Right now the technique i like the most is:
Find 2 favorite guitar takes for the section i'm working on (verse, chorus, whatever)
Take Mic A from Take 1, pan it hard left.
Take Mic B from Take 2, pan it hard right.
Due to there not being phasing problems with the 2 mics, any mono output of this mix once it leaves my jurisdiction shouldnt cause a phase problem.
Any suggestions?
Where to pan guitars?
Stereo widening plugins useful at all? (Probably more a mixdown thing but i will mixing this down myself also)
Thanks everybody
