    Double track guitars (artificial) help ?

    My poor computer is struggling to keep up with all the processing, so I'ma start committing some sounds. I just bounced an amped version of the guitar and thought, hold up... could amp one and pan, amp the other different and pan. I checked the phase in mono, it seems fine... and that's amped vs...

    Double track guitars (artificial) help ?

    Yeah man I know tracking=recording, hence why I added the 'artificial' double tracking. I imagine you're still going to run into some phase issues double tracking anyway. I've been advised by top engineer before in duplicating the part, panning hard left/right n pitching one side up n delaying...

    Double track guitars (artificial) help ?

    Nar I was just doubling up a single take. Is played through mapped samples. If I was a bit better at guitar, I might consider playing it. Also I'm running it through Waves Guitar Amp, not sure if it's thinning out the sound though. sounding too 'dusty'. Hmmm.

    Double track guitars (artificial) help ?

    I've done this before successfully, but I'm looking for best/better ways to do this. I want to double track some guitar lead I have, so the sound is pushed out to the sides leaving the centre more free. How to do this whilst avoiding phasing in mono? I tried pitching one up, but it sounded...

    those that use samples

    And as I said... copyright expires after 50 years(uk law), if you're really looking for inspiration from the greats etc, then look back 50 years and sample that shit. That's what's really taking it back to the greats/past/original, nah?

    those that use samples

    To get snobby about anything, especially how people make music (if you're coming from a real standpoint) is just pointless, low, and lame. To say synth driven music is generic, the same could easily be said about sample driven music. It depends on the person making it. There are plenty of cats...

    those that use samples

    Why don't you cats just search what was in the charts 50 years ago??? Recording Copyright expires after 50 years (in the UK) ... musical copyright/permission will still possibly be an issue, unless it's a certain years after the death of the last person involved. Also, be careful sampling...

    Good advice for mixing with bad speakers needed please

    A well respected engineer suggested to me unless you're mixing in a acoustically treated room, HD25's are the way forward. Don't mix on general-use speakers... the frequency response won't be flat etc etc. Best is to buy some decent small low budget monitors. Best way to know how your...

    Loving the kick drum and the o babyy sample. Loving the overrall feel too. Nice stuff. I'd say perhaps the kick could have a little more 'thump' in it, more low end. But I love the sound/stereoness of it. edit... ------------------------- def feeling the vibe, I allowed it to rock through...

    Nice stuff, Medl4 ... Always wishing I was hearing vocals on these tracks though. I almost hear the rappers I expect to hear on them. Sounds slick, only thing I would say is the kick isn't really 'there' ? Wanna hear some thump in that, might just be my personal pref though! Top.

    Love the snare on watch n listen. The scratches too. Nice vibe, and like the variations. Really nice. Soundwise, it's balanced really well. Diamonds, sick beat is this. I'm wondering if the kick is a little too loud in some places, it falls back a lot too. Great samples. Tame the kick a bit...

    Tory, haha, that first joint is bizarre to listen to. I can imagine some lovey style rap to it. Second one is real nice too. If it has a sick pre-chorus or bridge with more sustained portion it'd be killer. Feeling it much, family. You got plans with that one yet?

    Niiice, shit reason has SSL? What is pulverizer? Sounds like a compressor/limiter/distortion, one of those surely? DJ Khalil gets his stuff sounding pretty hardcore straight in reason too he claims.

    Not feeling lil miss Margarita so much. Loving the music though. How much was tracked, what was played/sampled etc? Mixed it yourself?
