Hi to all!..
These days i record in protools a cover song with guitar..But in tracks(I mean 3 tracks) ..Verse,prechorus,chorus(Gutar) and violins(Did i do something worng?)
But i have just one guitar in verse..
How could i pan the guitar so it will be mixed with the voice?(Lefte right center?)
And how could i make the guitar in chorus(Just a mono guitar) to be be more stereo..Like in some tracks you say wow!
If i had two guitars i would pan hard left and right but now?..Thanks!!
 
Let's try this part.

Are you asking where to place a voice and guitar, or maybe how to treat them to get them to sound like they 'belong together?
Need to think about giving a bit better detail on what you want to ask.
 
I am asking where to place the guitar..(Just one mono guitar) ..So it will fit well with the vocal(center)
 
While I say listen to some reference material and experiment, here is a recipe to get you started

Vocals center
Guitar 60% left
Guitar SEND to reverb 100% right
Violin 60% right
Violin SEND to reverb 100% left

If it's a gentle song, go for reverb. If it's a bit more aggressive, then slapback echo on the guitar send or a simple double track using the haas effect wouldn't be a bad choice.

Come on now you gotta try a little harder than that :rolleyes: Like, you try put the voc in the middle maybe, tried the guitar dead center .. how's that work? Maybe tried it a little off' center..?
Seems there must be more to this question or something
 
For example, if i were singing, playing the guit', i'd be pretty much sitting there in front of you.
That's dead center and a 'normal condition.
Now for Shure those two, mono and dry' might be pretty bare and uninteresting... If so, maybe what's missing is something that says 'they're sitting there in a place -a space,,,?
 
Thanks!..I will try that with the reverb..Maybe with delay?..Maybe with double tracking?..Will i have phase problems?..
