till today i've always doubled my guitar tracks.
but today I just thought: hey, why not doing them 4 times...

wooooow! this really kicks ass. I panned two of them 75% (on opposite sides of course) and the others to about 60%.
it sounds so great. but I'm really afraid of ending up doing my guitar parts as many times as there are tracks left ;-).
this time it was only a short trial-thing - but doing the guitars 4 times in a 4-minute-song will kill me.

there's no substitute for the real thing, is there?

I've had good experience with doubling the rhythm guitar to fatten things up but BE CAREFUL. When it comes time to mix , that much guitar walks all over the vocals. Unless, of course, it's an instrumental, and, in that case, go nuts. Guitar and vocals typically fall in the same frequency range and masking is a big problem. But, yeah, it does sound great.

Yeah, careful, soon you'll be doing EVERYTHING at least four times, and you'll end up sounding like ABBA!

I think it takes you more than just 4 minutes to track a 4-minute-guitar part ;-).


(am I right - with 50 posts my status will switch from newbie to junior member?) ;-).

If you are recording on a pc. You can use the software and copy it to another track and change the timing a little or use different effects on each track. The lazy approach. : )
