hey everyone. just droppin in to say hi...and that i'm a new member and everything. so, make me feel welcome! i'll try not to ask too many stupid questions! hah.
although i'm new, i have been frequenting recording.org for quite some time now- almost 2 years. and i must say that it's really helped me out.
some of you guys really know what you're talking about!...or atleast act like it.
anyways, for my first question EVER. .
when recording guitars, i've been recently trying and new technique in some of our newer songs- i'll record the same rythym parts (especially in the choruses) 4 different times. each take, i'll change the eq and gain a lil bit, and then pan 2 tracks out to 75right/75left...and the remaining two out to 100right/100left.
is this overkill? i think the results sound good and full, but i was just wandering if anybody else has been doing this as a norm...or if it just clouds things up too much.
i notice most rock recordings i hear lately just sound like they only have 2 seperately recorded tracks panned opposite.
i'll have to put up one of our new songs sometime here, to show you guys how it sounds
anyways, get back to me
thanks!
