I did a couple of searches and I couldn't find anything that explained exactly what I wanted, so I apologise if I'm repeating the same old thread.
I double tracked every guitar part, including lead parts. I did this mainly because in all my mixes the guitars sound so weak. I'm quite aware you pan the tracks equally left and right when you double track, but the guitars lines are always playing something different to one another. In most mixes I've heard when this style of guitar playing is used there will be one guitar line in one speaker and the alternate guitar line in the other speaker. How would you recommend going about panning double tracked alternate guitar lines? Or was there no need to double track at all? I've tried panning the tracks in stereo, one part quite wide and the other part closer, and this sounds ok, but like I said, most mixes I've heard the guitars have seperate channels.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks.
