Hmm, can't recall I've had this issue before. I have two guitar tracks, both hard panned, one L one R, playing the same part, sent to the same bus. When played together, they sound odd, like there's some sort of sonic gap, and an empty sound from the L guitar. I put a phase meter on the master bus and soloed those guitars...they are peaking at 0, but frequently move into the negative. So...I put a "phase invert" plug on each side, tried it on one and then on the other, and there's no change. The phase meter plugin stays where it was, hardly ever moving into the positive.
What the hell did I do here? Hundreds of guitar tracks later, I've not encountered this issue until now. Well, the one time I did...the phase invert plugin on one the channels fixed the problem. Let me know if you want a screenshot or audio clip. thnx
edit: looking at my heavier set of guitars now, and they do the same. Only moving into positive on sustained notes, but strumming puts the phase meter into the negative mostly. As a whole, the mix stays very positive, once drums and bass and vocals are added. It's just the soloed sets of guitars that plunge into the neg.
