There are great tips, really well presented. Especially the final comparison with no talking between clips.
However, the time signature of some of the background music you use underneath your narration is a unpleasant and bit disorienting. Some regular old 4/4 draws less attention to itself and lets the information you're conveying be the focus.
I'd just say with the 5th one to do that as Quad as well. That was each voicing pops and blends at the same time. But I mean, do what ever the heck sounds best for your song as well. Sometimes I don't even pan the different guitar tracks to give it that old school 4-track cassette sound
Do you ever record real mic to amp?
Quad tracking reminds me a lot of Weezer's Blue album guitar tone
I think I've been overloaded with awful songs on the radio using all these techniques in recent years because the single guitar track at the beginning of the video sounds best to me.
That snip at the end of this video was really pretty.
Thank you for this content!
My favourite was level 5 for majority and level 4 for special climactic parts
Cool tips
FIRE IS MOTIOOOON, WORK IS REPETITIOOOOON!!! Love hearing Cap 'n' Jazz in the vid
wait what song is being played at 1:55ish? I absolutely know that but cannot remember the name. so good.
I sometimes do a hard pan left and right with bright and dark and I’ll then put a 3rd guitar right down the middle but I’ll turn it down a fair amount. It adds a lot of beef to the sound.
… and next week we learn how to sync audio and video properly … BTW: What is a "not real" studio?
What I've played with on distorted guitars is raising the clips by an octave and combining them with the originals.
This might be helpful if you didn’t add drums and bass
Thanls for sharing this!!! I see no one doin this kind of videos !! ❤
This (and other stuff) has been known since recording guitars began, now it qualifies as YouTube content?! Who is this aimed at? If people don’t this basic stuff they shouldn’t even be thinking about recording guitar in the first place!
#6: combine different tunings and/or capo positions (with transposed chords, of course).
For acoustic tracks, I like having standard tuning on one channel and Nashville tuning on the other. This way, you have basically the two halves of a 12 string guitar separated from each other, spread out over the room.
i already knew about hard panning two tracks of the same guitar part but this helped a lot thanks.
I really like this kind of stereo guitar filling content.
This is actually a very key technique that Andy Wallace did on Nevermind. Of course the guitars were double tracked, but he took one of them and made a third layer underneath drenched in chorus as the ‘ghost track’. Hence, the songs sound so huge.
What is the name of the tool used at 04:00 ? great stuff !
Beyond basic double tracking, the results don't sound better, just different.
Hi !
Thanks for the hard work, your videos are great !
I have a question about level 4 : Do you use one amplifier per guitar (so four amplifiers, inserted directly on the guitar tracks) or do you use only one amplifier on each BUS (so only two in total) to get that wall-of-sound effect?
oh messy life spotted in the background. real emo warriors know whats up !!
coole video,, what u call lvl 5 is what i usually recommend to ppl. thou usually to save on time it's more splitting one part into two parts: if they're playin a normal Cmaj chord id have em play one track w just root n octave & then another w the 5th and 3rd
Thank you very much!
any idea of how could I bring those sounds to a live performance?
I don’t know about the guitar sounds but the drums sound killer!
what do you use to build chord diagrams, like 4:05? seems pretty useful for brainstorming chord variation ideas
