I'm a beginner at this: I have a Yamaha MT4X four track, a Fender Squire guitar and a Zoom 505 effects pedal. I've composed this Pearl Jammy (well I wish..) sort of song, and I'm reasonably happy with the sound of the rhythmn guitar I put down. But I want to put this other guitar riff over the top of it in places and when I tried doing it...well it just didn't sound right.
I mean it sounded like "oh well there's someone playing lead guitar right over the rythmn" - I guess the sound I'm getting isn't thick enough, and I want it to blend in and almost be behind the song and I can't seem to get anyewhere by fiddling with the volume and the EQs. I'm sure I can at least improve the sound if I only knew how. For you guys with Zoom pedals (I only just got mine and don't really know how to use it properly) I was using setting A1 for the riff. Maybe part of the problem is to do with the riff being quite high (9th fret of the high e-string) cause the lower notes I play elsewhere in the song don't sound so bad.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help guys
