Hello all. Something I've been curious about.
Mostly produce punk if I'm doing distorted guitars. I'll generally double-track, hard panned (though sometimes quad-track if I'm feeling frisky, which will then be one pair hard panned and the other 75% each side.) Then each channel (generally) goes off to a guitar buss then off to the main buss.
My "go-to" for it was, for each guitar track, make a stereo channel in Cubase with a single MONO input for that channel, amp sim of choice then as an insert. Now a fair few amp sims (currently very much into my ML Sound Labs sims) will output something in a stereo signal, so this seems to make sense on the face of it. I'd certainly say having used my ears it sounds at least "fair" but I've not won any Grammys either!
Just thought I'd ask the collective how you go about recording amp sims, do you do as above or are your tracks mono all the way.
Thanks in advance for any replies/thinking on that.
