Hey All,
In my experience with recording guitar, I often find it hard to tell if I have a good tone right away. Often times I spend quite a while looking for a great tone, and when I record the track and play it back it doesn't sound great. But when I finally settle with a tone that I feel is less than desirable and record an identical track on a second take and then pan the two, it sounds much better than I anticipated. I know that it is common practice to pan to identical guitar tracks hard R/L to get the "chorus" wall of sound type effect, but do you also find that you aren't sure if you're tone is good/useable until you record the second track? Just wondering if I was the only person struggling with this.
Thanks in advance for any and all responses!
