I'm just doing some very basic recordings for some joke songs but i was wondering how when I'm listening to pro recordings the same guitar seems to come from wide both sides as opposed to the center. I don't know how this is achieved because when I double my guitar track and pan it hard left/right, all it does technically is amp up the sound on each side and it still sounds like it's coming though the center. Can anyone tell me how to achieve the hard left and right sound without it just boosting left/right volume which still sounds like its coming straight up the middle? Thanks!

What makes you think it's a single guitar track? Where did it say this is a single guitar panned left & right? I mean, if you are a heavy metal group, what are you going to do with those extra 16 tracks you don't need to record on? Plus, I think they have a few more microphones and some acoustics to work with. So, put the guitar amplifier in the living room with a microphone. Take another microphone and put it upstairs. Take another microphone and put it down stairs. Then you'll have something that's more than mono.

A great trick when you have a bunch of tracks is to use more than one amp in more than one acoustic environment.
We used to throw the main amp out in the big room and then another entirely diffent amp in the vocal booth and one in the laundry room. You should hear a Marshall with a washer and a dryer on 11.

Well since this is just a joke song for this one preppy girl to try to scream to, I didn't experiment around that much. All I really tried is the slight delay which seemed to work. As far as all around mixing, this is my first time ever mixing a recording so any feedback would be great! http://media.putfile.com/Natalies-Song

I gotta pinch myself - I've lurked here long enough to really pay attention when Remy, Davedog, or bent (and others) post. But my proposal was easier, and got the result aspguitar wanted! Who wants to lug all those extra amps?:D Don't worry, I won't let it go to my head... :wink:

...the "Electric Slide"? Nope, already taken.
...how about the "Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique"? Nope, taken, too (and not really relevant I guess, but it sounds cool).
Maybe the "Virtual Bathroom"?
I'll sleep on it...

Hey aspguitar, maybe I can help. I'm just now graduating college with a degree in recording, and I think I know the sound you're looking for. Especially dealing with metal and the like, the artist will literally record two different takes of the same guitar lines on two different tracks (provided they're easy enough lines to closely replicate). Then just pan each take - one all the way left, the other to the right. This especially sounds good (to me) with rhythm tracks and palm-muted stuff, and has an advantage over shifting a copied recording slightly in time, which can simply give a chorused sound or not enough of that desired stereo effect. Good luck :)

Ok, I couldn't sleep without first doing a little research (thanks google and wikipedia).
How about

But wait! Theres the bit about the results of screwing around with this. Three MAJOR things came from it. Some say that because of it, it allowed a freedom of sound that created a space for some of THE most innovative music to ever exist...............
What are the three?
If your left and right tracks are exact copies of the same thing
If your left and right tracks are exact copies of the same thing, then you can take one and shift it in time a bit (say 10 ms, feel free to experiment with different amounts). That should open up the sound but it will still sound like one performance.
