If it gives you the sound you're looking for, then that's the way to do it. If you think all your guitars need the same treatment when it comes to EQ and compression, and you like the result, then there's nothing wrong with it. But if you're doing it out of laziness (you don't want to EQ different guitar tracks differently), then you might want to re-think the way you're doing things.for me it looks like the easiest way to get the sound Im looking for because I can eq all guitars by one eq plugin.
But if you're doing it out of laziness.....
I have 4 tracks of the guitar and wants to mix them . I'm sending them to one aux track and do all the compression and eq only on the aux track.
I only do it on doubled guitars
OK, you might want to get your story straight and then get back to us.
I double track acoustic guitar and sometimes distorted guitars x 4 to get heavier sound. one L 100%, second L 70% etc.. but they all play the same.
I put a bunch of harmony vocals on a bus last night (and they ended up in California.... boom... tish... I'm here all week, try the veal...) and compressed them all at the same time and I'm sorta happy with the outcome. First time I've tried it...
