Hi,

M/S widening wont do anything for a mono source, it has to be stereo for that to work.

This is down to how you record your guitar, instead trying to fix it in the mix. Try a pair dynamic cardioids in X/Y coincident close to grill, recorded on to two seperate tracks and panned hard left/right. Maybe in conjunction with this use a pair of stereo condensers a few feet away from the amp. Micing around the back of your guitar amp can produce interesting results coupled with the above. Mix and match.

I suppose what I'm saying here is get it right at the source. Fixing in the mix is just sticky plaster stuff really.

Good luck

Liam

have you tried panning them, and after that, giving one side a little delay? (you might have already tried this, but i just wanted to mention)

try using a delay of about 7 ms.
more can be cool, but can sometimes sound messy

i dont mean delay as in A-a-a--a-a-a....
but sample delay, thus zero feedback.

by the way, you guys rock:)
also, you should tell your bandmates that you dont want to sound exactly like franzferdinand and all that trendy stuff.. cuz there's loads of bands trying to clone them

thanks guys-

basically what I've decided is to give the band 2 mixes, one with an Alan guitar approach (the current one in the link) and one with the Jack friggin White guitar approach with all new tracking and different mixing. I still want to sell them on =my= version. This'll be in a couple weeks when the singer finishes all his vocals. I'm not really that mad anymore.. I have, you might say, "high-quality problems", in other words, I'm just glad to have people to play with.

(thanks for the compliment Thomaster :D )
