It's also possible it was recorded elsewhere and they were overdubbing. Good points there though

Hey Steena, I didn't understand half of it though. I think he was using older equipment (as the post was made in 2009 afterall) and technology has changed since. And Keith, I pretty much listen as I'm recording. I already have all the effects on top of my tracks plus EQ, because I like to see...

What do you mean? With my headphones like always

Yeah I spent much of today doing this, but couldn't really achieve that width I was after until I got to the mixing stage and found out about this Binaural Pan which is supposed to widen the sound. I called up one of the guys from a music shop who has 40 yrs experience and worked with some top...

To save myself having to do 2 guitars, I also tried duplicating the same guitar track and putting delay (one at like 6ms and one at -6ms) to make them slightly out of time. I saw this on a tutorial, it cames out ok on some of my tracks but others doesn't sound so good. I thought maybe since...

Thanks guys, seems like I'm making some progress. I recorded my guitar plugged in + with my condenser mic aimed at the soundhole (so i even get a bit of a boomy bass which is good), I panned them (not all the way) left and right and can say I'm happier with the sound. I also put some plugins...

Keith, this part "If you really want to fix it, I'd block out with markers the actual arrangement in the DAW before you start, then put a percussion loop in, perhaps a shaker or something less mechanical than the click/metronome, and even fade it up/down as necessary. Do that first, then...

Sorry Keith that second paragraph really confused me. Not yet Steena, gotta have a nap first, 5:18am here :) Will post up another test recording some time tomorrow/today.

Also, what do you guys think of plugging guitar straight into the recording device? ie. Direct. What are the benefits there versus recording into a mic? I can't seem to hear much difference in my recordings between the 2, but I'm sure there should be some.

What do you do if you want a metronome? Studio one 3 has one, but you can hear it clicking from my headphones into the mic so it gets picked up. What do you do in that case? If you use one that is

Thanks What does the Dual and Binaural pan do? It's one of the plugins that Studio one 3 has. I've never used it before

Ok cool. What should I do with vocals? 2 mics or just sing into one and have it centered?

Pointing at the 12th fret but sitting where exactly in relation to the guitar? Yes will def try that, thanks. But for a more spacious sound, would I want to move it a bit further than a foot away?

Oh ok, yeah I have other mics too, including a small pencil-mic specifically for guitar recording. So you suggest I position them one to the left of the guitar and one to the right and then pan them that way?

Exactly. So wouldn't I need to then pan left and right (like i did) to avoid this fighting? So in a map it would look like this GUITAR LEFT - - VOICE IN MIDDLE - - GUITAR RIGHT

Hey Mickster, thanks but I really want that professional sound. I'm a bit greedy I know, just not happy with mine, it's just not full and spacious enough for me. These are the headphones Professional Studio Monitor Headphones Mixing Recording DJ Semi Open DP Stage | eBay Sorry I didn't know...

Oh yeah I see what you mean. I recorded off just one mic, so that means I should leave it in the center then. Also, yes I've listened to many professional recordings and I'm chasing that sound, which is the reason I'm here :) These professional recordings sound good even on my phone (in which...

Which other three options? And also what is stereo image? Sorry still learning some of these terms

Hey Steenamaroo I just followed the tutorials which said to pan left and right to make the sound fuller and roomier, but obviously that didn't work out for me. And thanks, but to me this sounds awful compared to most other covers/recordings that I've heard, too muffled. I use big red headphones...

I uploaded it to a seperate site, hopefully it works for you. This guitar track was duplicated so there's 2, one panned left and right. No effects whatsoever, this is exactly as was recorded, you can hear how it's not capturing the full potential of the guitar. Mic was about 30cm in front aimed...
