Warning this could easily be a few threads but I was hoping to keep all the information here in one place. Any tips are welcome.
Mono or Stereo? I feel Mono is better for placing your guitar in the stereo field but I love the sound of my Stereo recordings better. You get what you hear when you record in stereo.
Clarity? How to prevent everything sounding like mush? I tried recording Acoustic with clean electric and both on their own sound amazing but together they just sound like a wall of mush.
Stereo width. Cant seem to get my guitars wide even with 100% pan left and right. How is this achieved? How do you go wider?
What EQ range should my guitars sit in? I usually rough this and go for 200Hz to 6k. Everything else gets cut out to prevent conflicts with the bass and get rid of any high end sizzle.
What is your master plugin Chain? I think this is probably the one area that I always seem to ruin my mixes at. Mix will sound okish until I fire up the master channel then it just goes to hell from there. Boxy, Harsh, no tonal balance.
Oh and may as well just put this out there. A great guitar tone by itself may not be great in the mix. Very confusing but … ok. Do I build my mix around my guitar then?
If I do the drums sound weird lol.
What plugins do you use to edit your guitar performance to correct timing and pitch? Or is it better to keep recording until you get it perfect?
TY .
