What the fuck are you trying to say? I wasn't going to add to the misery that has become your threads, but damn! Think a bit about it before you type. I can't understand you enough to give any hint about what you want to know.

'nuff said. I will not post in your threads any longer. :mad:
 
How do i track split?

Track audio splitting like a Y cord in
the DAW or pro tools?

so the signal Y out of the track how do i do this?

During Playback would be good

Ya know, judging by the amount of posts that he does and the stupidity in his questions, I'm beginning to think that THAT IS WHAT HE IS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH! So, let's just stop even READING his posts much less responding to them.
 
good idea why don't you just stop going in my post 7 string

Ah, the first response to somebody slamming him. I must be right.

The only reason they are hard is because you don't know what the hell your asking! :mad:

Using terms like milky, time smearing, they make no fucking sense whatsoever! Get a clue, dumbass! You are the moron here, not me.

This is driving me nuts!!! Can you speak english?!?! Your post should say "actually, you're very wrong because you can't answer my questions,
which are too hard for you"

Your = means something belongs to somebody
You're = means you are

Do you know how to spell 'too'?
 
Yea i can spell how do i

Question (reiterated) was "How do I take a source track in my DAW and send the output to two separate tracks (for adding different effects in parallel)?"

Depends on your DAW. The one way that consistently works is to select the track and either do a 'duplicate track' (if your DAW has that option) or just copy it and paste it in again. The hard part is lining it up exactly. Best way I know of (assuming again that your DAW doesn't have an 'align tracks' option of some sort) is to just zoom in repeatedly and keep adjusting the timing of the new track until you're zoomed in all the way and the two tracks match.

BTW, you guys are really acting like children. I can understand the questions. Some of them are a little newbie, but they're not that bad.

That said, it's still pretty f**king funny. :D
 
yes thanks for helping me out

To create layers, you simply record more than one track of the same part. In other words, you play a guitar part on one track, then you play the same guitar part on a second track, but this time you maybe play it in different chord voicings, or with a different guitar/amp set up. Then you would eq them so that they blend together and one is not drowning out the other. You would do the same thing with a second guitar part. Then pan them hard left and right from each other so you don't get the phasing issue. The result would be two guitar parts on each side, layered.

This technique applies to any and all instruments.
Vocals can be done this way, but it is better that they are panned up the center, and maybe the backing vocals panned about 20-25% left and right.

I hope this was clear enough for you. My anger is in having to repeat it over and over again. Your questions have been answered, it's just that you don't seem to understand the simplest things.

I'm sorry if I came off as an asshole.
 
i understand it im just trying to do it by routing it in the console in my
DAW

If i copy and paste the same part like 5 or 7 times it would be layering
if i would put different reverbs and eq's on each track

im problem is Overlapping the layering of the same parts how do i do this
without having phasing problems or flanging problems?
 
because i don't want all the duplicated same part tracks with all with
the same 'align tracks'

If i duplicated it like 5 or 7 times it will have the same "track align"

and i want it to overlap alot how do i do this without have it phasing
or flanging?
 
If there are no effects on the tracks, you shouldn't have any problems with phasing. Panning is the key. You have to separate the tracks. Also, instead of just copy and pasting of the tracks, you should actually record it again, playing it again. The little differences in each track will help you get some separation without phasing. Copy and pasting the track will make it louder, but not give you true layering (to the point that you can hear each track clearly in the mix.)

But I think the problem you are having is directly related to copy and paste instead of playing and recording each track.

Right. I think the question was "If you can't record it again and can only double something by copying and pasting with a time shift, how do you avoid phasing". I hope my comments at the end of the "isolated solo button" thread will help.

My short answer:

1. Pan them to opposite speakers.
2. If that isn't possible, try rolling off the highs on one.
3. If that isn't possible or sounds too weird, try reducing the volume of one by at least 12-18 dB.
4. If that isn't possible or doesnt' give the desired sound, shift the second track farther until the sound changes from being a flanging sound to being an echo.

That said, the correct solution is, as you said, to record it a second time.
