Hopefully this in the right spot.
Anywho, I'm getting ready to start recording the metal project in which I play bass. When the band formed a few months ago, we orginally had 2 guitarists. Since then, we've dropped down to just the one. We are really enjoying the freedom in not having another voice to conflict with ideas (sometimes 2 ideas are better than 5). But all the recordings I've ever done have been with two guitarists (each panned about 90% L & R respectively).
I'm curious if there are any experiences you guys have had that certian things just worked better? Tricks when tracking? Panning tricks? I'll take any advice I can.
Style wise, this is pretty brutal stuff. Lamb of God/Unearth style guitar work (mesa dual rec) with some Black metal /death metal drumming. So lots of double bass, rhythmatic guitar, bouncy metal leads, everything pretty tight. I know it's typical of this genre, and most sub-genres of metal to have the two guitars. But we really think the band sounds good with just the one. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Thanks in advance
